^ The reason why i said i am not trying to copy is because i know others don't like to share the ino on their setups yoo know what am talking about.

Now that you said CT43-6765 billet i really love to see what she traps on 1/4 or some Dyno #s, I was going to go with them at first but....

Yeah 1000cc on Ethanol depending on your fuel pump but maximum you can get out of them is 680-700rwhp with the fuel pressure at 70-75 psi that's why i like using the Bosch 044 .
Yeah it's takes 30% more fuel but it's cheaper than C16 lol , that's the nice part and make more TQ than also!
Aeromotive 340 are great pumps also, on of my buddy is using (3) of them and making 968rwhp on E85 with ID2000.

I think you should just pull the trigger on the ID2000 and not have to worry about fuel !

Thanks for the info on your setup.

Yeah, E85 is definitely the way to go. You have to be careful on GTE rods with E85 though. Peak torque is so much higher than pump/race gas, many people bend the GTE rods at around 600-700ft/lbs. The torque comes in so much harder than on pump or racegas. I have a fully built motor with aftermarket forged pistons and H-beam rods, so I'm good to go. But for those of you that aren't...be forewarned lol. I think that's why I blew my LSD is because on E85, the toruqe is just waaaaay stronger on E85 than gasoline. Usually driveline components such as trans/clutch/diff/etc are rated at ft/lbs and not in HP.

I'm really debating going with bigger injectors or not, since this is really my daily driver heh. It's still on a piggyback system and all. I just want enough fuel for around 35psi boost on E85, which is realistically around 700-750whp or so range.

I say go for it. Its better to have the big injectors and know that you can turn the boost up without worrying about it getting lean.

Default so sweet it is. my lexus is pearl white

nice job. Hey was wondering if u have youtube vids with your lexus. Call me crazy but your name rings a bell. If so your vids are some of my favorites. I want to add a turbo to my 99 lexus gs300 2JZGE. I heard you are the man with the master plans. If you have the time I would love your input on some turbos and blowoff valves and etc. Im tring to figure out what is best for my car. I just had a baby girl about a year to the date, so low budget is the best I can do around 3000 dollars. Do u think it can be done for that price. Not worried about a mechanic my brother in law is my mechanic so that should give me some room to spend more on parts. thx for your time.
Thanks,
Chris (aka HeavyC)

I was also at TX2K, but didn't get a chance to see you or the car. I know you go every year so hopefully next year. Keep the updates coming

Next year I'm going to try to get a ClubLexus roster. I'll try to get the mods to let me post up a thread in both the GS and IS forums. We can all swap numbers and get everyone up in a group. Then have regional roll outs so everyone can cruise in a group. I saw a couple of boosted Lexus' down there but it would always just be when everyone was trying to move through the traffic at the hotel. Then those people would be nowhere to be found afterwards.

I used this stuff called polyflex. I've used Bondo in the past without too much issue. Just be careful about hitting speed bumps or curbs when parking and you're good to go. The polyflex is supposedly much more resistant to cracking than Bondo, but it's also like 10x more expensive lol. Bondo is about $15 a gallon whereas the polyflex is around $35 for a quart!

Yeah, I was thinking about going to 1400cc or 1600cc, but I think I'm going to stick with the 1000cc for now. The idle is just so dang smooth. Just like a stock car would idle! Even though I'm limited to only around 28-29psi of boost right now, I think I can live with it lol.

Yeah, I used to post up a bunch of videos. I still do, but just not as often as I used to. You can get a decent setup for around $3k in parts. Just remember there is no labor hours or cost included in there. Most shops will still want to charge an extra $2-3k for all the custom wiring/fabrication/installation of all the parts. If you and your in law are willing to tackle the project yourselves, then it can be done no problem for that budget. You just need to find someone that can weld and fabricate the intercooler piping and exhaust piping for you. Most the rest of the stuff can be done with a general mechanics tool collection. Let me know if you're interested in doing the turbo setup and I can give you a list or general guideline of the parts you need or just help point you in the right direction.

After 3+ years of everyone asking Jeff for dyno numbers to back up his claims, he finally went and had the car dyno'd today. Lets just say it put down some SICK numbers for a 2JZ-GE running a piggyback. I'll let him post the videos and chart.
