Default A couple of new videos of my V160 GS300

Well I just wanted to say thanks very much to Rick Bowers at Speedtech// aka speeder on these forums. It's been a long journey but we finally got the setup that I was after. I'm so happy with the car on pump gas at 17 psi now. My Perelli Pzero's 285 35 18's just blow loose, the car feels like a real monster and is pretty scary to drive with these tires, I need to get some drag radials asap. Here is just a quick 3rd gear pull on the road, I'll get more pics and videos up later. I might goto the track tonight just for sheotz and giggles to see what she traps on pump gas.

Thanks, yea the car is just a blast to drive, I've got everything done now, wheels / tires/ suspension/ brakes / rear end / tranny / motor / turbo / fuel management / clutch. Now I need to work on the cosmetics, the outside doesn't look bad but I want to polish up the engine bay, install my ltuned grill and repaint the car next.

Damn Adam! How much power are you pushing? and what are you using to bring your redline up to 7K rpms?

Redline is 8,000 RPM. I run a Haltech Platinum Sport 2000, I think I'm making about 600 RWHP right now on pump gas 17-18psi.

Thanks guys, this is pump gas and the lowest boost setting possible with my wastegate spring. I totally love the way this car drives, I've owned 3 Vipers, and many Supras, the GS is in a class of it's own, I just love it. My old Viper ran 10.2 @ 142, my goal is to get this 4 door quicker and faster in the 1/4 mile and I think with some good tires it will do just that especially once Rick and I set up the anti lag. Yes I bought the car when it was 5 years old, the previous owner drove it 20K+ miles per year so most of the miles were highway, so there isn't so much wear on the car as a typical 9 year old 120K mile GS300, I've only put on 9,000 miles in the last 4 years as I work frm home and it's been down getting upgrade after upgrade. This weekend I pulled apart the interior to rewire my wideband 02 gauge as I had the input wire running across my dash, also I'm installing a touchscreen GPS double DIN headunit with ipod and blutooth, thats been a PITA, I need to finish that up this morning, so many damn wires and harness's are keeping my ashtray from installing back in, I need to re-routh the wires today. I'll be back with new photos and video this week.

My mods are, JSPEC 2JZ-GTE (NON VVTI) HKS 272 CAMS, Precision 74mm turbo, 3" exhaust, Haltech Platinum 2000, Haltech Igniters, HKS DLI, Haltech Reluctor Adapter, 60-2 trigger wheel, 1000 cc injectors with twin Walbros, V160 tranny, GS400 rear with Supra torsen LSD, OSGiken Twin Disk, LS400 Brakes / slotted rotors, Blitz 03 Wheels, FMIC, KYB Struts and Tien springs, Diazen Bushings, Oversized aluminum Radiator, Flex A Lite Fans, Greddy Boost Controller, Innovate Wideband, B+M style custom short shifter, All stainless tubular header / exhaust. I'm sure there is more I'm forgetting.

One of my fastest GS on Clublexus. Thanks for the video!

~600whp on 17-18psi seems pretty damn good. Some people have higher boost pressure and they barely muster out 550whp.
