I can remember to sbd. ( I think it was Adie) who has blown his engine on his way to JAE2006, holes in the block due to broken conrods had been the result of 0.9bar of boost. He has it rebuilt with my custom forged internals and has blown it a second time due to wrong head bolts. After 2 years I think he was finally able to show us a 380-400BHP dynograph when his car was set up completely. And doing 50 dyno pulls doesn't say anything, you can do 1000 pulls and it will be fine, since on the dyno there are far not such straining conditions as on the road, during to weight of car, steep roads, air resistance and other things. But if it's fine although then we all are happy to be wrong thinking this engine can't take more than 0,7bar of boost. So let's put that monster on the Dragstrip, doing 1/4 miles and other races on the track and we will see. ;)

That's the same engine as in the IS300, once it was an ordinary 2JZ-GE and just got turbocharged. :winky:

Funny suggestion... what about those people who have crushed their 1G-FE engine into pieces after boosting it up to 0.8-0.9bar??

:)

I have received a whole V160 Swap Kit from PHR which fits direct on the IS300, but I'm not driving the A/T model, mine came from America with the W55 5-speed tranny. ;)

A DynoSheet & Video would be something useful.... :D

YESTERDAY WE WERE ASSEMBLING THE V160.... ....and noticed that some parts are still missing *gg* :P Clutch Fork shifter bracket Well, that for I'd like to find some solution --> My plan is to have just ONE clutch line to from connector to the slave cylinder OK so far I didn't read the V160-thread on My.IS very well, then I would have known to order the Supra tranny rubber-bracket

Yesterday was christmas day :) Finally I have received my V160 swap kit, everything is brand new and ready for install. Some small modifications have to be done, but we will start soon with the install.

A LOC-friend of mine is offering -GTE conrods on the Euro-Board for 500€ set of 6 sonrods http://euro.lexusownersclub.com/forums/ind...=20156&st=0 Mike

Yes right, more traction is a MUST right now! I will look forward to do something in that direction. ;)

Here the Videos:

Yesterday was K-SPORT Day Disassambling the stock brake system We had to cut off the cooling plates, since it was too extensive to remove them on the rear side Comparing stock brake system vs. K-Sport front Comparing stock brake system vs. K-Sport rear Installing calipers, putting some grease on the shoes and install Checking brake system, getting all the air bubbles out of the brake lines FINISH! front rear I also took some time for the cooling panel :)

FRIDAY was DYNODAY A few IS200 S/C, IS300 A/T, my IS300 Turbo and one Supra were taking out the sh!t of that DynoJet Here is my DynoSheet (PWR & TQ @ the wheels ;) ) nice result for just 0,8bar of boost I couldn't believe the Supra put some 1.089BHP @ 2,15bar boost on the ground :shutit: :duh:

Yes it was great race, but that WRX was damn fast! He did some serious tuning on his 2.5L REX, so he pushes something like 450BHP or anything, at all he doesn't have problems with traction while I'm waiting until getting grip on the ground. But everything will change when I have done the V160 swap

Mike's Lexus IS300 Turbo @ Meidl Airport (Hungary) :)

Last Saturday was... CAR WASH DAY B) (I'm sorry for the pic quality, couldn't get a digicam, so I took them with my HP iPaq) 1.) Washing by hand 2.) Coarse Polish on special places (Removing Holograms & scratches) It was easy to remove raw areas from grinding last time 3.) Smooth Polish with Meguiars #83 It was possible to notice the texture of the house wall on the car's surface (but sorry not on those pictures ) 4.) Wax Meguiars #16 Carnauba Wax It saves much material when doing that job with machine, also the surface gets much smoother ;) Result the shiny glaze and deepness of the TCM-Color is amazing, not to forget the water-resistance of the wax..... I love it! : This has taken a 7-hour job to finish....

It's not the camera, it's the Youtube-Compression which is f*cking up the pic-quality :tsktsk: Yep popping is normal on the AEM Unit, it keeps the turbo spooling when reaching the rev limit and forces you to shift.

On THU April 17th was DynoDay!! B) John Reed got his fingers on my Lexus, he came over from America to Austria to do some serious Tuning on my AEM... IS300 Turbo Well on the way there the piping went off and I lost all the boost :( so I had to get under the car, put down the cover and reconnect them ;) ...and then! Result: 400 RWHP 510NM RWTQ @ 0,8bar (10PSI) rev limit @ 8000rpm

we were just discussing about the boost-loss problem ;) I have set the rev limiter to 7500rpm right now, will go up to 8000rpm soon B)

Today we did some testdriving ;) We noticed some boost loosing with raising rpm Well I'm going with a 0,3bar spring so maybe that's why it's not going over 0,7-0,8bar (boost setup) Well on the videos you can see the boost between 0,5-0,7bar and consistantly stalling with raising rpm, no I have installed the 0,7bar spring and let's see what happens ;) On the Autobahn.... speedo & rev meter Watch the boost then Outside.... What will then happen when setting to 1,2bar? Have fun with the vids....

Never mind.... also if dust and dirt would get into greased threads, they will get loosen pretty easy. Grease always reduces friction, you will wonder how non-greased threads will work, it doesn't matter if tape or no tape, water always finds its way and the result is..... look my thread above ;) At all grease resists against water!

BTW: I'm offering right now my light-grey leather interior (electr. & heated)! Front and rear seats, door panels and heating control panel! Just one in Europe! On ebay: Click here Maybe somebody is interested :winky:

yeh the sure are. didnt think they were that thin And now wonder why some people have blown their engine, when pushing it over 0.8bar of boost :shutit:
