Yeah it can be and has been done but its a big job.
If your going to all the effort to upgrade the diff I would be using a MK3 diff.
-
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.

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)

Work of Art mate, it really is :D A J2 Conversion how it should be done B)
The wife has family over your way, and we are thinking of going over next year, would love to meet up and have a look at it Brett.
Would be upset if you didnt. When and if you decide be sure to let me know. Ill take you for a drive and show you how she chirps 2nd's :)

Thanks for the kind words guys.
Had the car dyno'd today. Ran out of time to run the race fuel and give the NOS a squirt but on pump fuel car made 509rwkw which is 683HP at the rear wheels.
Ill post some graphs after I have a good sleep. Car will be back on the roller in the next couple days for the race fuel.

This is with the modded bar on and the bay finished.

Thanks guys, it feels good to finally have it coming together after so long.
A well known magazine over here has been ringing me about a photo shoot. Its booked in as a studio shoot on the 17th for the front cover.
Here are a few more from underneath.
4inch exhaust, floor notched for ground clearance
4x bosch pumps (2 for each tank)
Custom rear end

It varies in cold weather

The queue to ride shotgun starts behind me!
Thanks Matt,
I'll even let you have a drive mate. Besides I dont want any marks on the passenger seat beacuse of my driving.
Still needs the wiring tubed but we will do that last incase we come across any hassles (trouble shooting)
4 inch dump pipe (4inch exhaust all the way and is all ceramic coated)

Said it before and I'll say it again....
Stunning!!
This is a top quality build with nothing left untouched I suspect. The suspension and chassis strengthening work are unbelievable and by the looks of it have been perfectly done.
I have recieved many nice compliments for the work I have done myself on my own engine conversion but it is not even in the same league as this or anywhere near it!!
Hats off to you man. Jealousy is the only emotion I bring myself to feel right now LOL.
Also, it is good to see a full interior going back in which would suggest that this car may still be used as somewhat of a daily driver every so often????
Ive seen your car and knowing the time and effort you go to thats a great complement, thanks.
Yeah this car is a street car. I have a few things I want to achieve with the car but will be driven to work and shows.
thanks again for the kind words, I keep the thread updated once I get more done next week.

Fuel system. 99% complete
As you can see I run 2 tanks/surge tanks.
1 for the pump fuel and 1 for the race fuel.
Boot is yet to be retrimmed.
-
I had the seats retrimmed to my specs thats why you cant find them (sorry for the late reply)
Update.
Car has been painted (same colour but with a blue pearl)
7 inches of dish
Roll cage (interior/wiring still not finished)
-
Four link
315's under the rear
Car has been on the back burner for a while due to new business, finances, work commitments and having our first baby..
Its now full steam ahead. Will be pulling the rear end out to have coated and underneath painted.
Fuel system and wire.. Happy days.. (watch out 8's)

Body bracing
Strange Coil overs

been awhile but here a little update
Lightened Mark williams axles
roll cage
Mark williams Alloy diff centre

Yeah thanks for the comments guys,
As Matt said I been busy working and setting up the new workshop.
This is all thats happened to the car as I have had no time or the spare funds to throw at it.
Here are the new wheels with a tiny bit of dish
This is what they look like after the guards have been modded and sitting under there.
Very happy with the way they sit there is plenty room. they will also accommodate a 26inch slick :D
Here is a picture of the competition housing
Still has the cage and diff to go.

I noticed that the engine was dyno'd at Baker Pecision Engines. Is David Baker still there (the owners son)?
He sure is.. We actually had a chat about a certain party in the UK he knew that fitted a 2J to an IS. I actually put 2 and 2 together and thought it might of been Matts car. And by the sounds ouf it the party was you?
His farther is a very smart man (as I'm sure you know)
-
WOW! B)
That looks amazing!
Top Job!
But I'm wondering how the traction on the IS will do with +1000HP
Maybe a serious launch control system will help. B)
Traction in any car with 1000+HP is an issue but I am upgrading my diff to a ford 9-inch with a 4-link coil overs set up and will be running either 315 or 325 series rubber on the back so traction will be pretty good.
-
This is with the IC piping on. I had a friend in the industry do this as I cant tig as well as I would like. Actually I am ***** at it (alloy)
I had the BOV hiden up under the guard as they are illegal over here if there not plumbed back (out of sight out of mind)
-
First thing i do when i win the lotto..... buy my own tuning shop! Great vid. Do you have any vids of the engine + car + 1/4 mile?
No Sorry, how you see the car in the pictures is where its at now. Wont be driving till late January.
-
Fair play mate. That's some crazy figures you're going for there. What intercooler have you got fitted?
Custom bar and fin 100x300x600 with larger end tanks. Its rated at 1000+HP.
The entire drive line was dyno'd already.. From fuel system, ignition, spark plugs, intercooler the lot so I already know what the set up produced and is capable of. Motor is far from stock. The only thing standard in this motor is the crank which has been machined and treated.
This is the video of the motor with the small exhaust at 29-30psi. For those in the know it had 40lbs of back pressure which is not good due to exhaust not big enough. This problem didnt let us boost it up any higher. Like putting a 2 inch exhaust on a drag car.
Motor will break 1000@30 and will be around 1150@35. I dont think I will take it any higher than that as this is my street car. I will however fit a 100 shot of NOS in order to get some decent 1/4 times.

Thanks for the compliments :)
Its off to get wired up soon and then come back and sort out the diff and exhaust. I am expecting it on the road driving in late Jan.. With christmas coming and moving workshops I have to be realistic.
Intercooler piping is sorted and next is fuel and all hoses. (while waiting for electrician)
As for power the motor already made 960HP with exhaust problems (to small) So once sorted I am expecting just over 1000HP @ 30psi and around 1150HP @35 without NOS I will fit a shot of NOS just for fun.
I'll post some more once I have progress.
