Hi guys!

I have bought Ellz t-kit a time ago.
Right now my lex is in "winter sleep" and I would like to start my turbo upgrade!

But, I also need to change the internals because I want to get 300+ HP. whistling.gif

There are also some guys of the German LOC which are searching for internals for there S/C's.

Is there no way to get a set of rods and pistons which would fit like the oem internals just with lower compression in the European Nation?
Otherwise we have to get theme in the USA. shutup.gif

Hope you can help me/us out! cry.gif


Thx!


Greats, Luke

USA is your best bet, ive been told some toyota rods + pistons will fit, but i dont know from what engine just yet

How about getting custom ones made?

If there's a few of you then maybe it'll work out cheaper?

Otherwise USA i think like Gord says. I have the same problem so it'll be interesting to see what you find.

1g-gte rods are available. The pistons are not right for the tte compressor cars though. you can use JE pistons as well............

I believe Cho went straight to a toyota dealership and ordered some GTE rods, think he said they were £700 or so.

Great that you guys try to help me!!! w00t.gif

So the 1G-GTE rods would fit the IS200, I only have to get other pistons?
Rods I think don't have to be new but I maybe get new pistons. Right?

@ ProLex-UK you've got mail! rolleyes.gif

Yeah got them direct from toyota, checked my receipts though Stav and they were actually just shy of 1k the pistons were cheaper

@ cho, you got mail. wink.gif

@ ProLex-UK you messenger box is full.... rolleyes.gif
LexusLukeIS200
Well, right now at the moment it looks like i will take the whole 1G-GTE internals (rods/pistons) for my IS.

They should be able to get my lex up to 350hp.

Or? huh.gif
