  5. Okay, Now I understand your question. The Soarer had 3 engine options : -1JZ-GTE (2.5L Twin Turbo I6) -2JZ-GE (3.0L N/A I6) -1UZ-FE (4.0L N/A V8) Note that the twin turbo is a 2.5 liter and not the 2jz. So if it is the 2JZ motor, then this brings to mind some sierous questions. 1- What happened to the original 2 JZ motor? 2- who did the twin turbo add on? 3- what turbo is on the car? Garrett ? Turbonetics ? ???? Then and here is where my concerns come in. The car is a manual trans. The stock manual trans in the IS 300 is not a strong enouph tranny. They were noted for breaking even with less than moderate hp increases. ( Like 300-350 hp) So what tranny is in the car now? If they did a full 1JZ swapp with the tranny, and then went from twin to single turbo, that makes alot more sense. And then I wouldn't be as concerned because the rev happy 1JZ has some different characteristics even though the 2JZ makes alot more ponies. Also, see the gauges on the pillar ? there was a curtain airbag there before. I would just ask if the car is throwing up any cells, and if the air bags have been disabled. When buying a car like this ( Engine swap and heavy mods) My strong advice to you is to get to know the person who did the work really well. Ask about thier background, why did they do this project, what are they driving right now, why are they selling it what oother cars have they worked on etc. etc. etc. If the car has been beat on and the turbo needs to be rebuilt, could add significant cost to the car real quick also. Was the car raced? ---of course it was. If they say no, theyr'e lying!! So make sure you test their honesty. I'm not saying don't get the car. If all of it checks out and your comfortable then go for it. A turbo charger IS 300 is really really really nice !!! ( Fast!) Surprisingly fast!!! How much for the car? how many miles on it? clean title?

  12. Well, i don't know if my car will be ready for nomination qualification, so I nominate Flop 170's IS 300. That kid has put alot of sweat into his car in a very short time and took on some mods he's never done before. I showed him how to work with fiberglass and he jumped right in and did a great job. He's not a Gold Member though, does that matter?

  19. I would go with the Tenabi Madallion Hyper series. They say "under 91 db." but I measured just over that. But even so, very quiet for the amount of air flow you get. Especially if your going to be running twins anyway. Are you running factory cats or high flows?
  20. ( Yeah, isn't Pluto no longer considered a planet? Aren't they calling it a moon or something now? ) Log------Cabin
  21. The 2JZ motor with vvti is just as capable for moderate boost conditions. You sort of have me confused. The 2JZ motor comes stock in the IS300. So it already has a turbo on it? how many lbs. is it running? Did they swap motors? You do have a I6 3.0L VVTi yes?
  22. Is it capable of what? The supra motor is non VVTi.
  23. It's really hard to tell. I can't really determine the contrast because of the glare. I think it looks good though. the color thing is up to you. I know that the CF comes in alot of colors and shades. With all the black on the interior though, I would have thought the silver would be the right choice.
