In this video, we dive into one of the wildest automotive builds you’ll ever see — a Lamborghini Gallardo running a fully swapped Toyota 2JZ engine. The owner walks us through the entire conversion, explaining how he replaced the original V10 with a legendary straight-six, saving huge amounts of weight while creating a setup that delivers effortless power. From custom fabrication on the gearbox, a handmade linkage inspired by OEM Lamborghini photos, and even push-pull cables sourced from a Sea-Doo jet ski, this build blends creativity, engineering, and pure madness. The car runs a G35-1050 turbo, Max ECU standalone management, external wastegate, and a simplified rear-wheel-drive layout, turning the Gallardo into a lightweight, responsive monster with room to grow into serious horsepower.

On the road, the 2JZ Gallardo feels sharp, balanced, and surprisingly natural — with the owner confirming there’s virtually no weight over the front end anymore. Inside, the gated shifter mimics the original Lamborghini design, yet underneath it’s an Audi TT mechanism adapted for the unique setup. Despite the extreme modifications, many factory functions still operate, including speedo and gauges, making the build feel surprisingly complete. With a forged spare engine in the works and all the supporting mods already in place, this 2JZ-swapped Lamborghini is only at the beginning of its potential. The video captures the raw sound, brutal turbo response, and the sheer insanity of blending Japanese tuning heritage with Italian supercar DNA.
