    It costs quite a bit to turbo the Lexus because parts are rare. A company called ikengineering make a manifold but its not cheap. If you cut the flange of a single turbo manifold for a 1jzgte and reweld on a flange that matches the is200's engines head then its a lot cheaper cause the 1jz manifolds are very popular so can be picked up cheaper. Then use a turbo off a Nissan or something. Cheap as chips.

    Turbo it, there's a lad on another forum that's just welded a new flange to a 1jz turbo manifold to make a cheap manifold for the 1gfe. Makes the cost of a cheap turbo kit plummet!

    I'd be saying it worked whenit arrived, I want it working when it leaves at their cost. Def sounds like timing is out, they've put the ignitor wires on wrong way, or maybe they've broken the crank sensor?

    No you use supra discs with the supra calipers
  5. sparkystav
    It's not mostly for looks, it's actually an improvement. Supra caliper fit with a small tweak

    It's sold now

    They don't have one. I know a club that does if you want to pm me?

    The gauge fuse is involved as the light on the dash won't work without it. The sidelights are as you pointed out on the the tail light fuse. Ifyou think about it the side lights are two tiny lamps that's all, why give them their own fuse? They always come on with the tail light so why not link them together?

    If your getting something like that made you may as well get a manifold made. a decent welder can do it for you. I'd suggest getting a standard exhaust manifold to you can create a template of the flange plate.

    Side lights don't have a fuse afaik. You have 2 for dipped beams, and 2 for high beams. The reason the front fogs didn't work is because they are interlocked with the sidelights.
  11. sparkystav
    Email ikengineering they do them
  12. sparkystav
    no, because the valve removal tool needs to push on the bottom of the valve
  13. sparkystav
    impossible, You need to remove the valve springs to get to the stem seals. you need to hold the valves in place to release the springs.

    Nah it's ok I've got a spare already was just watching it cause its local
  15. sparkystav
    Ah you've won the gearbox from my neck of the woods I was watching that. Well good luck.

    Big task mate! You'll need the ecu as well which opens up other issues with the keys etc and the dash
  17. sparkystav
    as i said in the pm mate, your best leaving them or swapping the lot. whats your line of work?
  18. sparkystav
    yep, im in morecambe if you need some help.
  19. sparkystav
    if the aftermarket stereo is already fitted ignore the oem amp. yep main area to get the battery cable through is the large grommet at the side of the battery. RCA is the connection from the back of the stereo to the amp, the red and white plugs
  20. sparkystav
    youll need to run a power cable from the battery, and rca's and ignition powerfrom the headunit but its pretty easy. where in Lancs are you?
  21. sparkystav
    The fuse for the main beams are in the engine bay as well.
  22. sparkystav
    I'm in morecambe mate
  23. sparkystav
    Welcome. Whereabouts in lancs are you?
  24. sparkystav
    much easier to buy the is300, need engine and gearbox. and ecu so then you need the keys, so you then need the theft system and locks.
  25. sparkystav
    could just be the system bleeding as it is self bleeding.
