Everything else is pure steel sheets

JTJ,

Thanks for making the effort to document and share your mods on a 1st gen LS400. Hopefully it will encourage others. Obviously I agree with you... GREAT mod!

I still wanna try out the Ingen intake on the 1st gen before I go cutting the plastic. Had no chance to go there since I have no lisence right now. Good job on it though.

Just did the same mod with a bigger hole and took the entire intake tubing all the way up to the throttle body and cleaned my throttle as well. I did all this for fun today before my final to relieve some stress lol... havent driven the car yet though.

Eric, do you mean that you cleaned all the tubing up to an including the throttle or that you modified the parts?

Post some pics
