Edgar Diaz Swaps A Perfectly Fine Motor Out Of His Lexus IS250 F Sport

If you want to swap out a perfectly fine engine out of a 2014 Lexus IS250 F Sport, it better be for good reasons. A past Tuner Battlegrounds #TBGLIVE winner, Edgar Diaz, dropped off the IS250 F Sport at RAD Industries, and left it in the hands of Dan Burkett and Joe Pasco to swap the 2.5L 204-hp OE motor for a 400+ hp 2JZGTE. Because why not!?
