Using CANopenR to keep the car dash, powersteer etc functional after removing the factory ECU and going full standalone with a Vi-Pec i88

Wow, awesome swap!

Looks really well done, but I find it hard to believe that this is any lighter than an LSX swap.

We're gonna need a bigger boat!

Not everyone wants an LS in the car. Some guys just wanna be unique.

This motor is about 166kgs, LS motors are around 180kgs. Would be pretty close once you added the turbo and related plumbing.

Although don't most LS conversions go with a Tremec gearbox? The RA62 might also be a bit lighter than one of those two and require less modification.

That's totally fair, but my comment was directed to this line from the article in the link:

The Lexus V6 is the 3GR-FSE from the 2009 GS300. This engine is much ligher then some of the other conversions I have seen, using V8 engines and inline sixes.
