2. You're correct. NEVER spray below 3k rpm, and you can use an rpm window switch to prevent this. You can set it so it activates above 3k and shuts off before 6250.
3. You can also drop in NA Supra injectors (PNP) and they're 330cc. I want to say they're mkiii, but I'm not 100% certain. That'd give you a bit more wiggle room with fueling.
I thought about your post and came back to reply to it, after installing the bigger injectors the Stock ECU will have trimming to do since more fuel will be coming out than it's used to. Maybe reset the ECU before first start so it starts out fresh with the new plugs and learns faster? I could only imagine cold starts and the engine flooding. However, correct me if I'm wrong the SRT Black box dumps as much as it can through the injectors at WOT? I mentioned it earlier but it was only an assumption, Not sure if it retards the timing more or not either.
I also thought about a window switch and it kinda took away the idea of the excitement having the computer do all the work for you. Yes, this does allow for more chance of human error yet I may add it at a later time depending on if my turbo project is underway soon.
I had my GF press it last night and she said ".. whoa! It's just like in the movie!" lol
Next is to Chop me some WRX with a guy whom I work. Surprisingly he only pulls away just a bit with the SRT black box. Will post results (from Mexico).
My next project is Hood Latches & Bulbs. I looked up sizes here and was still confused so I came to my own conclusion of this D2R and this 9006. The latches are brand name by AreoCatch and look pretty good IMO.

One of the most beautiful White IS300 I've seen yet.
I appreciate the input you guys give and motivating me to keep up with the latest trends and styles.
I was thinking about doing a glass black vinyl wrap on my roof. Just wasnt sure how i thought it would turn out. I wish i could work on my car at work. I like the choice of plate, can't wait to see that.

Yes, I'm a salaried employee. As long as I do my job, how I use my time is up to me. For the License Plate, I am a humorous person, I thought that would be the best one for me.
Salary sucks. Been there, done that. Never again. I'll take my OT pay. How is the plasti dip holding up on the door handles? I've done rims but never anything I'm constantly touching or grabbing.

The Black Plasti-Dip on the underside of the door handles where the overspray from the angle spraying from top and bottom has worn completely. However, its still on there strong without touch-up since July or so last year. I go through the car wash 2-3 times a week and no problems. The rims are a different story, I put 2-3 coats and around the edges its starting to come up from three issues.
Tire dressing from the carwash
GF curbing the rear pass rim :crying:
Taking driveways at angles where the tire rubs against the rim and the Plasti-Dip gives way.
All of these issues with Plasti-Dip can be easily fixed with paint thiner to liquefy the Plasti-Dip again, let it sit to dry, then touch-up again with more Plasti-Dip. I bought my supplies from dipyourcar (DOT) com where its slightly cheaper than buying at other auto store's.
My Toyo Tires Proxes lettering are still holding strong, I used brake cleaner, sander 800 grit, brake cleaner again, then the provided super glue. A few of the edges have come up but they're a quick fix.
I baked the headlights & my 10 color glowshift gauge arrived.... More pix to come!
Made the mistake of painting the inner reflective chrome. Used Paint thinner and removed it.
Bead of Loctite caulk, goes on white turns clear when dry
re-installed red reflector
Use clamps to hold tight while drying, I let it sit for 24 hours.
The DIY says not to remove the tape off the lens in order to prevent scratching, Before re-caulking the lens back on I strongly recommend taking the tape off do allow you to clean the inside of the lens, with the tape you cannot see anything. I also added RainX anti-fog to ensure condensation from forming. More pix to come with installed.
I feel bad, almost everything you do is on my to do list so I feel like I'm copying your IS lol. beautiful car, love checking this thread for updates. Question though, how did you get the back of your door handles painted? I did mine and I was only able to get a little paint on the backs and they are now coming up from usage. I'm bout to repaint, just wondering if you got some tips! Keep up the good work!
edit: also, did you just cut open the rear lights like people say you have to? what did you use? I want to black out my tailight housings.
lol at Parker, you're supposed to say that's your idea he stole that you haven't yet gotten around to doing! At least that's what I am saying with the carbon center console with gauge, been on my to do list for a while. @White2003Lexus ; Is that a dry carbon cloth your going to be putting the epoxy on later? I have been trying to cheat and find some carbon thin pre-made sheets to simply cut but nothing yet.
So this is the skirts I have now. I'm finally to a place in my 1JZ swap that I feel it is reliable and hopefully I squashed all bugs and could be bugs. Full timing kit with water pump and doing the VVTI intake cam gear seal and she should be right as rain. Literally all parts are new or replaced...
So I am not around the car right now to crawl under and see, but I have a '03 IS300 and I am creating some schematics for an engine harness and I can't seem to know if the '03 IS300 with a w55 is a 2 or 3 wire speed sensor. The wiring I found shows two pins, this is also a 2002 schematic though...
Hi I recently bought an 01 is300 which seem like it's skipping 2nd and 3rd gear. I'm getting the cel p0763 which is shift solenoid C. Does anyone has any experience doing this and know how difficult it is to fix? Or would it be a better idea to purchase a new tranny and just swap it out? Would...
My seats are terribly uncomfortable, just worn out. Is it worth the $$ to have them reupholstered and the foam replaced or just install replacement seats? Any one know what seats will fit in the '03 that match the bolt placement? (Will the 86 or BRZ seats fit?) Don't care if they are manual and...
As an avid podcast listeners I could no longer stand daily driving with AirPods on. This was an easy retrofit. Less than 1hr overall. Could easily be less 1/2 h if you plan ahead the mic and USB cable routing. Device perfectly fit out of sight as seen on picture. Also helpful was using an...
