91' Lexus LS400 Turbo Build Part Out
Hey Guys,
As the title reads, I need to get rid of this and I've put a couple ads up on my local Craigslist, but I just don't have time for it any more. I've put a lot and time and energy in this and refuse to just get rid of it all together. I remember doing my last calculations for the build and I was over $3,000, however I'm not interested in the money as I just need to see this gone, but not destroyed. Since its basically a stock LS400, the only thing really custom is the turbo kit. I am also willing to part out with anything else that I don't think I'll have a use for. This kit was built by me, so it certainly isn't perfect but it's all there.
Turbo headers into Y-pipe.
After powder coating
Turbo oil drain, replaces oil level sender.
Downpipe/lower rad hose/trans cool/radius rod area is a bit tight, but with some creativity it's manageable. I just ran 3" straight pipe the whole way back.
Turbo oil drain back, wrapped up for heat.
Pretty much it sits now.
Manifolds, OE LS400 flipped, Turbo, eBay; intercooler, eBay; wastegate, Tial; blow off valve, eBay; piping, stainless/mild steal; intercooler boot, silicone. I also have a Megasquirt 3 with MS3X expansion card for sale too if the price is right. Everything is negotiable, however I'm asking $1,000 for the whole kit. No reasonable offer will be refused, but I figured this is the only valuable part to this thing so I'll probably pull the turbo kit, engine and tyranny, and junk the car. Let me know if there's something I can do for you. PM me if you have any questions.

The car is in decent shape, matter of fact there's little rust, I just don't have time for it anymore and it seems like no one wanted the car as a project. I figured parting it out was the next best thing. I am going to pull the engine, transmission, wheels and tires and put on some cheap steelies and junk it for $200.
I'm going asking $500 for the car in parts condition, otherwise I pull what little value I can from it, and junk it. I'm trying to sell the turbo kit because I put many of hours into it, and I hate to see it go to waste. If no one wants it, I'll just shelf it, and put it in my GS430 (w/ some mods) when it's no longer my daily driver. As of now, I have a 89' Pick up with a SBC350/4L60E, HP front axle, E-lockers, RUF (rear leaf springs up front), Chevy 63s (GM 1/2 ton leaf springs) in rear, 35" mud kings, clearly I'm trying to build into a crawler/mud truck, I also have a 01' GS430 that's my daily, and In the market for a 2500 Dodge Ram w/ Cummins to tow and haul stuff with. I also just bought a house about 2 months ago, I don't have space for all of it, and after a long battle, I need to cut my losses and move on to big and better things.
