Hi guys
Been a minute.
Latest update is quite simply - I got into a bad relationship which held back the build for 9 months. This month, after over a year since we last touched the car - We made progress.
To date - We now have boost control, turbo oil feed and drain, oil cooler and PMC oil cooler cap, twin fan setup.
I am now running ECUMASTER EMU BLACK with an EN Motorsport PNP adapter specific for the OEM BMW M54 loom - I spent some hours making the loom bearable to work with and 3d printed a case for the PNP unit because 'who develops a pnp unit with no protection?'.
We have now hit a hiccup - We cannot seem to calibrate DBW with the ECUMASTER EMU , tried speaking with both UK and NL branches with no luck as of this week! Any ECUMASTER veterans on this board? -

Welcome Jesse,
I am not going to lie, your IS250 is a 'challenge' to look at
Also, I don't think I have heard of anyone putting a BMW engine in a Lexus before?
Hi!
We're from different worlds buddy, I don't judge you by your opinion and taste 🙂
No, it is a bit unheard of especially a new age Lexus. These types of swaps are common in Europe with other ranges of Toyotas and Lexus'

Hi all
I am VERY late to join this owners club. I've owned my Lexus for 6 years now I think (lost count), I own an IS250 Advance 2011, among other cars, and purists might not want to click the link below-

In all seriousness, I don't know why I hadn't joined these forums - I guess the IS250 market wasn't really up to scratch in the UK when I was building mine so Club Lexus seemed to be a good choice since it originates from the US.
I'm not prepared to duplicate my build thread so I'll be updating the above link, if you're interested subscribe! But here's how it looked in 2018 -

There is absolutely no bad blood here boys!
Appreciate all the comments and opinions.
Back again, with other commitments in the way this has been a slow process.
Engine starts and runs off the Lexus push button, so now its really just tidying up both BMW and Lexus harnesses and the final touches such as RPM and MPH while finishing the cooling system.
IF anyone is reading this and is currently rebuilding a 4GR-FSE, I would love for you to send me photos of the trigger wheel! Googling is a complete hit and miss.
