[Mr.2jz-GE]

[tjmhillz]

[is300bklyn]

whats the best turbo combination for an e-shift? im picking out parts myself one by one. can you guys give me a list of parts that i need and the best parts? Thanks

[tjmhillz]

It all depends on what your hp goals are and what your plans are. heres my set up to give you an idea.

Turbonectics Turbo 60-1 .58a/r
Turbonectics Manifold
Turbonectics 35mm Wastegate
550cc Rc Injectors Low Impedance
TT Internals
TT Headgasket
Arp Headstuds
Walboro fuel pump 255
Aem f/ic
Greddy Type S Bov

i also have a tranny cooler. and soon going to upgrade my vb. im shooting for 400hp daily.. im pretty close but i dont want to push the limits on stock vb.my turbo spools up pretty quickly which i like. you can look on my.is i think there is a few full kits going for a decent price. are you going to install the kit yourself or have a shop do it?

[is300bklyn]

i think i will go for a little less than 400hp, i wanna play a round with a smaller turbo first then upgrade it. I think i will probably let the shop do it

[DexterZX2]

I own an IS300 and I'm from PA. I just got it earlier this year. I haven't really started modding it yet, except for a few minor things. I replaced the factory sound system since some of the speakers were blown and the factory HU didn't play CD's. I also changed out the map and dome lights to LED's. I had to replace the tires recently since one went flat and I noticed that the car had three different brand of tires on it. The latest thing done to the car was blacking out the emblems and front grill. Here are a few pictures of everything so far., sorry if it's a little dirty in some of the pictures.

When I first got the car:

Yea, when I found mine the dealership also had a ATX on the lot. It's price was a little less than mine, but I wouldn't get one unless it was MTX.

[mrmark]

Where did you get those eyelids? I've always liked them, and now that I have the car I want to get a set. Thanks. BTW, your IS looks good.

[tjmhillz]

mr mark.. i thought u sold your car? or was it just the kit you sold. and the kid who bought it destroyed it? that was one nice kit

[is300bklyn]

those eye lids you can get them from ebay but if you want them in CF style, seibon makes them as well

[mrmark]

mr mark.. i thought u sold your car? or was it just the kit you sold. and the kid who bought it destroyed it? that was one nice kit

Yeah...that idiot kid actually threw the whole kit away including the Wald fender flairs !!!!


I have the car, but it now has an Air Walker kit on it....still boosted. The car is at my cousin's in NY in storage.


Oh, the eyelids are Wald with the tops cut out to match the lights. The knock-offs on ebay are much cheaper, plus I don't think Wald is making any Altezza parts anymore.

Our IS thing is small compared to the VDUB's and others, but this doesn't we can't get together. Come out and support this event, so it can grow and possibly be a staple in the IS community..

Great news guys, I was able to raise $300 so far for a local charity. I will be donating the proceeds to AustismSpeaks.org

This was my original plan when starting this meet and I hope that everyone joining will be able to kick in 15-20bucks to help towards this movement. If all goes well, we will have this thing every few months and we can watch it grow..
