BUILD BREAKDOWN - 400HP 1.5JZ IS300 Street Legal Daily Driven Drift Car

[@scott-michael812]

I've seen the car in Adam's video but I didnt know you had a channel. Looks like I've got some videos to catch up on. IS squad where you at?

[@Brakenex]

My man! Right here, we're building one very slowly for our channel!

[@KalebJolley]

Such a sick car! The transformation from when you bought it to now is amazing 😍

[@laingmatthews430]

I asked you why you doing your. Car lower for it looks good but it have a bled with your car have lower and high road every where now it aber your car mark it keep where it is but that way. A. A. You have money to asee now I asked you

[@EvilJohnny81]

The blue suede seats come with heaters. I have one and they work wonders

[@CornellW003]

My is300 has the suede seats and they have a seat heater. I've been a s chassis guy for a long ass time and got into the is a few years ago and I love them. Still have 2 s13 but I'm slowly getting rid of them for is300 stuff. Once I sell them I will be turning my spare is300 into my track car.

[@BrandonWicknick]

These cars are so much more solid than Nissan chassis. They just miss the mark on style compared to the older Nissan in my opinion.

[@markus7n]

That color is loud. Looks good on this car

[@404racing5]

Love the fact that you're not afraid to mention "low end" brands. Good luck on your KZbin endeavors!!!

[@BrandonWicknick]

Yeah. No point in being fake. I like to test the limits of cheap products and find out where you can get away saving money. Sometimes it pays to spend more on certain things. Sometimes it doesn't.

[@shadialnadi1113]

Thanks for the information. Very useful 👍

[@jordanfresquez2696]

Glad to see your getting this thing rolling man love the car should look into a sc400 lol

[@hughmungus7756]

Stocking up parts for my build as we speak. Looking for 400hp nothing crazy.. Keep up the good work sir!

[@BrandonWicknick]

400hp is really easy with a JZ engine.

[@hughmungus7756]

@@BrandonWicknick I'm hoping so the engine seems to be very reliable and I baby it so after I collect all the turbo supporting mods I'll have a shop nearby help me out with the tuning/ fabrication.

[@jeffcosta8689]

Really nice job dude! Im currently building my first is300 2jzge-vvti drift/daily build Im only lookin for around 400hp so Im takin notes bro lol. Question- how come you used a 1j head and not the original 2z-vvti head with a dodo plenum? Im just curious cuz Ive seen these ge's built a few dif ways. More flow or hp? Easier install? Im tryin to educate the shit outta myself so I have a solid 2j plan. Thanx

[@BrandonWicknick]

My new car has a NA2J vvti head and a forward facing intake manifold. It's a great setup and I will be using that for any future builds.

[@iliosOFFICIAL]

this is awesome! nice job Brandon.

[@Chuck-cx9gw]

Sick 🤘🤘

[@jicez6649]

Great video! With your ls400 brakes did you by chance get really bad screeching when breaking under 30mph?

[@BrandonWicknick]

Nah man that's odd. You must have metal on metal contact somewhere. Pull the rotor and look for any signs of contact.

[@jicez6649]

@@BrandonWicknick thanks for the feed back, I took them apart and used new hardware which seemed to help, I'm also using stoptech slotted rotors with ebc yellow pads which might affect things also.

[@tkflex2332]

thank you for making this video. I currently have a 02 Is300 Manual swap W55? 2JZGE with LSD 3.9 (big Auto) 345km/210miles. I cant find myself selling this car every time I post and ad for it so i am going to send it. I do plan on swapping out the engine expecting she pops (hopefully not that soon). I was thinking 1JZ or 2JZ but they're getting really expensive (more than for my whole car) and also I am confused on the wiring. I was thinking doing a NA-T build and I was wondering what do you think about that? I appreciate everything you and I know it is hard times right now but please keep the videos coming and as well as all the hard work. Respects

[@jp_styleco]

You don’t run extended front lower control arms? Don’t think I heard you mention anything about the LCA’s, I’ve been debating getting extended lcas since I already have defworx knuckles

[@jennyannpr1]

That’s one bad azz IS300. Do you still have it?

[@JakeWardell]

What block are you running? And internals? Factory GE?

[@morpheus_9]

He said lol. 1jz pistons, 2jz turbo rods

[@Clae07]

I think the lip is Elegance?

[@LaGarage229]

I have a s13 with a 1jz non vvti with similar mods, running e85. Really having a hard time keeping temps low. I have a koyo n flow radiator with slim fans and a sealed shroud. Next year I will be getting oil coolers as I seen on your lonestar drift interview you ran 2 plumbed together on your s13. Any other suggestions? Thank you for your content!!

[@BrandonWicknick]

In my experience JZs can handle high coolant temps but not high oil temps. Run large or dual oil coolers. Coolant temps up to 230 to 240 should be ok for short periods but obviously you don't want to start a full boost run at those temps. Sounds like you have a good cooling setup. I have done dual pass on my radiators and it has helped for sure. I'll post about that in the future. Thanks for watching.

[@bennyyang9962]

what kinda diff? and what is wheel and tire setup? thx

[@meneerb9143]

Hey bro, did you use the 2jz gte head gasket?

[@LowState]

When you do your exhausts do you drop it to weld all the pie cuts, or just weld it up in piece by piece?

[@BrandonWicknick]

We weld as much as possible on the car before inevitably having to drop it to weld the top.

[@jason_650]

What are those white rims you got on the back?

[@Teamvia33]

Can we get a full mod list?

[@jeinks3249]

subbed up! salty city boy

[@xDannyBarnesx]

What size wheel + tire do you run in the rear?

[@black240ct]

What kind of water temps were you seeing with this set up. Oem electrical fans?

[@BrandonWicknick]

Anywhere from 190 to 220. It does a very good job of cooling down with stock fans and aluminum radiator.

[@CornellW003]

What seat rails are you using?

[@ibarrapinpin8812]

What width tires do you run in the back?

[@MaxCotton]

Daily drift cars are epic! How do you find the 1.5j?

[@BrandonWicknick]

1.5 JZ is not found in the wild. They are all raised in captivity. Must be built as it is a 2JZ 3.0 bottom end with a 1JZ head.

[@MaxCotton]

@@BrandonWicknick We thought of a 1.5j for my Ps13 Build.
