23x16x3.5 intercooler

6psi springed wastegate (have 15psi spring, but its snowing here)

Turbo xs h25 bypassvalve

Everything else was fabricated in my garage by my friends and myself.

It's almost ready for the streets...

You sure spend a good bit of time over this side of teh pond sean :)

btw i noticed your sig

Possibly one of the worlds fastest windoms/es300's

have you dyno'd it yet to back it up?

Dyno'ing would back it up if i said most powerful ES lol. I ran a 14.2 without my nitrous so i'm pretty sure I have a mid 13 sec car with the spray (125 shot now). Noone else seems to take their to the track and noone else seems to do any major engine work, so my sig stays for now :D

Volk LE-37s and yes, I will be getting the dinwos tinted as dark as possible! :) My friend didnt photoshop that part for me.

Here's a photoshop of what my lexus should look like by august...

What kind of intake did you put in, and what kind of strut bar?

The intake is a MAF adaptor with a generic cone filter. They don't have brand names. I found the strut bar on eBay for like 20 bucks.

Hopefully I will have some 1/4 mile and possibly dyno specs by the end of the august. And yes, I blacked out the chrome backing of the headlights. It looks a lot better close up. Nest time I have a camera handy I'll get some better pics for you to check out!

Sean

Newly ported polished/milled heads

Engine shot...as in a 150 shot of nitrous hehe

Exterior looking sweet!

Enjoy the pics!

Notice the front end is a TON higher than the rear....this is because...

The heads are off to the machine shop and are getting milled and ported along with a 3 angle valve job.

So does that mean a 2.5L motor i assume???

So what exactly is the 2.5 x model?
