Newbie here...
..well newbie to the GS, but not the IS300 and SC300 and MKIV Supra.
I wasn't sure where to post this as there isn't a newbie section that I found to introduce myself, but since I am interested in the GS platform, I will post here, intorduce myself, and tell a little bit of my cars and why I am here.
I currently have 4 cars which 3 of them are projects.
A little about me:
I am in Dallas, Texas and before you ask, yes I am very close to South Fork Ranch.
One of the reasons why I am here is to do some research and ask questions about the MK2 GS300/GS400's.
I recently purshaced a USDM Lexus GS400 (V8 1UZ-FE) for a very very good price and I want to swap in a 2JZGTE orginal Aristo VVTi GTE turbo motor.
I've done conversions before as in the SC300 (Soarer) with a complete engine + tranny + ECU package and that the hardest modifcation was to extend the wiring harness and match up the drive shaft lengths when swapping in the motor.
Now, I am venturing off on the JZS161/JZS160 platform with the swap.
As for my other cars, I have a USDM Lexus IS300 5spd that is my dailey driver.
A USDM Lexus SC300 with a 2JZGTE (non VVT-I) swap with stock twins and the Supra A341E auto tranny.
My BIG project is my 1994 MKIV Supra 6spd. I am 80% done with it and aiming to make over 1000rwhp to the wheels on boost alone.
Here is a list of mods on the Supra engine.
Short Block:
Brian Crower Connecting Rods
CP pistons 40 over bore
Cleavite H bearings
Stiock 3.0L Displacement (maybe in teh future a 3.4L storker)
Head:
SuperTech +1mm oversized valves
SuperTech Springs & Retainers
1ZZ-FE buckets
HKS 272 Cams
Head Fully ported and polished on the intake and exhaust.
Turbo, Intake, etc
Garrett/Precision GT4508R (80mm inducer) Turbo (1.28 Twin Scroll TUrbine housing)
Greddy 4 Row Intercooler
HKS Turbo manifold
50mm HKS GT wastegate
Virtual Works Custom intake
Tial 50mm BOV
Exhuast:
4" down pipe, 4" Mid pipe, 4" Burns Stainless Steel Muffler
Fuel:
Custome Fuel rail Top feed
1200cc (120lb) RC Engineering Injetors
Walboro 255hlp x3 intake fuel pumps
Other mods:
TRD LSD
TIlton Triple Carbon/Carbon racing clutch
Custom bigger Driveshaft.
100 shot or Nitrous Oxide (Wet shot)
I am doing all of the work myself on the Supra. I have been working on Supras for the past 3 years and went through 3 different turbo setups.
Here are the pictures of my cars.
