Aussie 2j Conversion

[Scorps01]

im guessing £50,000 the engine and gearbox alone must be worth £10-15k maybe more

And the rest....but its not about the money its a dream, passion and if by chance you have the funds available then why not.

Awesome piece of Automotive Engineering.

Thank you all very much for the kind words.

As for the cost do you want to know what it cost or what my wife thinks it cost becuase they are 2 differnt answers--lol.

The cost was very resonable for me becuase of deals, favours and lots and lots of my own hours.But It did take up over 2 years of my life. As for a customer, If I had a customer that wanted this I would sell him one of my packages and go from there, I sell IS200's converted with the 1J and 2J complete registered and engineered www.allstyleautomotive.com its not completely finshed but keep going back and you will see ALL the cars when I finish the sight next week. I also sell the conversion kit for the DIY'ers. I would be more than happy to ship the kit across. Feel free to send me an email. (if your genuinely interested)

Had the car dyno'd tonight on race fuel, wastegate spring only holding 30psi so I couldnt boost it anymore. Will sort it out and get it back to the tuners next Monday.

Car made 838RWHP @30psi on a dynodynamics dyno.

Will post the results after next monday.

One can only dream!

Well done mate, I look forward to reading the results once you have sorted out your minor flaw...

sure that was'nt concorde on the dyno

I am totally lost for words. Stunning machine and stunning work. The username obsessed says it all. Please post some videos or dyno videos up to show this piece of art in action.

This car gets better and better - I reckon the most stunning IS I've ever seen on any of the Lexus forums in the years I've been a member - well done mate :)

[pyro3113]

There websites lookin real good! The reason i ask about the cost is because i want to get a good idea about whether i want to keep and turbo-charge my BEAMS 3S-GE or do an engine swap. Personally i think it may be easier to keep the 3S-GE and turbo it and maybe it'd be cheaper as well but of course i couldn't expect to get the same performance than out of a 2j or 1j... but this will all be sometime next year anyways unless i win the lottery or something lol im going to deal with important stuff like suspension and brakes etc before i go for more power.

but honestly your car is a big inspiration and definitely showcases the possibilities with the IS/Altezza... Amazing car...

Amazing project, it's good to see people pushing the boundaries

[LexusIS200Sam]

what a stunning car! everything looks of such a high standard! well done chap!

[pyro3113]

i can't help but come back to this thread to look at this car! just wondering if you're going to take any videos and post them at all? does it get driven a lot? or is it more a show car?

[Obsessed]

Gets driven as much as I can..

The easter long weekend I just drove it 5 hours to a show and picked up

Best engine bay

Best late model

Best exterior

and Top modified over all

I even entered in the motokana

Then drove it 5 hours home

[MacRS200]

Awesome car and congratulations on all the awards. Well deserved with all the immaculate work you have put into it.

[Parthiban]

I don't know how I've missed this thread in the past but it's truly amazing! I've never seen this attention to detail in a custom job (except on overhaulin' but this is even better! )

Well done for doing this, as I can't imagine many people would put this much time, money and effort into this type of build :)

[Dan_Harris]

Quite possibly the most astonishing piece of engineering i've ever set my eyes on :), now go Holden Hunting :D

[TomCooper]
