3gr-fse swap
I paid £950 for the engine, the place I bought it from says it has 38,000 miles but I highly doubt it but theses engines are very well made and can go alot of miles with proper service, what happened to your setup?

It seems that it got lean and I lost one cylinder.Thank god I had a spare engine and I installed everything back on.The question is why it got lean to my set up and not to the guy I took the kit from!Anyway if I knew your set up will work I would defenatelly go this route!I really love the procharger sound so I ll try it one more time!I saw a YouTube video with a 3grfse supercharged and its great!I m not sure that the stock ECU can handle all that extra power though!

[QUOTE=is350uk;9614481]You will probably blow it again sinced nothing has changed, you should try the fuel enrichment device that they sell that wires to your lambda sensor into tricking your ecu to give the car more fuel, boosted engine needs a richer ait fuel ratio that naturally asperated engines, the devise sell in the USA for about $200 and may worth it

What material did you have the flywheel made out of? I have been considering doing something similar to remove the dual mass flywheel.
The ratios of the RA62 are closest to the stock IS350 ratios when used with a 3.73 differential. 4.10 (or similar) will be a nice boost to the acceleration, but will likely cost you some fuel mileage.

I'm new to the forum but have followed and found many good tips for my 2008 IS250 6Spd.
I'm also interested in adding some HP to my IS as well and like this route of going 3gr-fse. Will the stock diff have to be swapped out as well?

Please post pictures/video of your 3gr-fse installed. Also what clutch/diff did you use? or did you used the stock ones? this is a nice setup I also wanna do. Thanks in advance...
