That's a sick setup! I got some questions though...

How's the 3200rpm stall converter for dd? Is it really rough? And I thought Koyo Radiators were for manual trannies only??

ScrillaSc

Is that a VVT-I motor? If it is, how hard was it to get to that power level? People seem to be afraid of the VVT-I motors. Good looking is300. Making me contemplate my decision to soon get an sc300, but then I'd have to change my screen name.

thanks....

its fine, the TRD LSD is a bit rough though going around corners....

correct....I have a seperate transmission cooler, thats why the koyo says manual specific, because the stock IS radiator has the trans cooler in that.



no, its a hybrid. Supra GTE bottom end, and stock IS300 head, but with Supra GTE cams, unorthodox cam gears, stock valvetrain though.

most people are affraid of the stock vvt-i motor and with good reason. people get cheap and slap on a turbo kit and wonder why it doesnt work. the stock motor is too high compression for boost, and the stock rods are weak.

tsopranoMB

thanks everyone..i'm up in essex county, but there are a few turbo IS's in new brunswick/south brunswick area...we frequently have meets during the year by menlo park mall...and the menlo park...stay tuned

Thanks for the info, I didn't look too much into it, but i assumed it was a fitment issue. Good to know i can upgrade my radiator later on.

So is your stall converter reworked stock or aftermarket replacement?

hey, how did you get your dash painted that matte color? did you have to take it apart? car looks great!

tsopranoMB

-upgraded stock converter

-not painted dash, some overlay's, otherwise its "stock"....that interior shot was also from my 2001 car that I totalled, but I transfered everything over to my 2002
