Hey guys, I know I'm new to the forum but I just had to share. I'm in Iraq right now as a contractor and I just recently purchased a Black Onyx 2001 IS300 from a buddy of mine. Since I've had it I added the trd brakes, braces, sways, and rear strut tower brace, Apexi N1 Coilovers, Sparco Torino's. The IS goes into PFS at the end of may for some major upgrades heres the list,
-PFS stage 3 turbo kit w/ PT74 turbo and tubular manifold
1000cc injectors, 48mm wastegate, aeromotive fpr
-Built shortblock w/ tt rods and pistons and oiling mods
-HKS Cams/Crower valve springs and retainers/ port and polish
-Built Trans, VB, TC, Sprage
-PFS 3" exhaust
-TRD LSD
-RLTC
-Return Fuel System w/ extra pump
-TEC3 EMS
-Custom intake manifold w/ Wilson 90mm TB
-PCS trans control unit
-Custom 1 peice driveshaft
-Custom solid motor mounts
I already have the full turbo kit except for the turbo which will be bought soon here are a few pics. My goal is over 500hp on pump and around 700hp on race gas, Do you guys think I should get a Tubular manifold? Right now the kit has a cast manifold and I have read that tubulars spool up faster which would be nice with a GT40R, so if you could give me some advice that would be appreciated. Thanks.
and here's one of the car right now.
UPDATE 7/02
Ok here is the latest progress on my car. The car is at PFS right now getting all the work done and should be ready by the end of July at the latest. I changed to a tubular manifold, custom intake manifold, 80mm tb, and 3" intercooler piping. Can't wait!!!
UPDATE 9/05
Ok here are the latest pics of my car as of 2 am from Ray's camera phone. The car should be done by the end of next week at the latest and I will have dyno graphs and updated pics then. They are still working on my intake manifold and a few minor things.
The intercooler and 3" piping looks mean!! That thing should be a beast!
