Lexus IS300 2JZ GE Turbo 700hp Build Overview!

[@htrspsupra2102]

That's one hell of a build, Congrats to you and the owner.

[@LakeBuilt]

@htrspsupra2102 Thank you! Yeah the owner was really happy with it!

@htrspsupra2102 I'm in Colorado

[@arthurzielinski8187]

Insanely clean dude. Wow

[@LakeBuilt]

@arthurzielinski8187 Thanks man! Probably my favorite build to date honestly lol

[@SS_Motoring]

What a super clean build, can eat off that engine bay ! Now I have to go back and watch the rest of the build videos on this.

[@LakeBuilt]

Thank you! Yeah it turned out nice!

[@SS_Motoring]

@@LakeBuilt every time I think about selling my IS a video like this comes along and now I want to keep it again . Always thought about doing a setup like this.

[@LakeBuilt]

@SS_Motoring haha you're welcome. Yeah this IS turned out so clean. I need to get my IS going again, been super busy with everything else in life though so need to make time for it lol

[@thecookeman]

what a complete all round build, massive wiring job shifting all the relays and fuses to the rear. washer bottle etc,, certainly looks so much cleaner with it all removed. 700 wheel would be a handful close to getting my very similar build back in the car, built a340, efr8374, 10:1 + big cams given me plenty of great ideas for my build thanks again for your series lake

[@LakeBuilt]

Thanks man! And glad I could help with ideas

[@kellynkarr6270]

Absolutely gorgeous build. Well done and thank you for sharing this

[@LakeBuilt]

Thank you

[@0dteESmini]

Love the white engine bay

[@danielcaldera6075]

Awesome stuff man! Definitely have to go back and watch the videos from the beginning. Super inspiring, & very close to how I want my IS to be set up 👍🏼

[@LakeBuilt]

Thank you!

[@nevrbx2016]

Damn, love this build. Well thought out and executed. Just beautiful

U gotta keep uploading man love the passion in the build

[@LakeBuilt]

Thanks man I appreciate it!

[@blackwellm23]

would love to see you go a bit more in depth on the IACV you put in. you mentioned it in part 3 when you noted the bung you installed on the cold side piping close to the throttle body.

[@nuisynth]

Hey bro, you absolutely killed this build. I'm running the same intake manifold on my GE (GS300), what injectors did you find that fit it and what are you running for idle control? 90 mil RMR throttle body? Thanks for any info!!

[@LakeBuilt]

@nuisynth thanks man! we used ID 1300cc injectors and I fitted a Mustang cobra IACV underneath the intake Manifold, I have more info on it in the previous few videos

[@lelandcoberley8723]

Killed it!

[@LakeBuilt]

Thanks man!

[@bherna3668]

Awesome!

[@bherna3668]

What type of connectors did you use to wure the ecu. I was think of using duetch connectors for my gs300

[@blackwellm23]

also the return on the water line, where do you have that routed?

[@HonestJerkWil]

🔥🔥

[@TimberTrainer]

Your garage door says it burns oil.😅 Cool build 😎

[@LakeBuilt]

@TimberTrainer lol that was exhaust soot from another car 🤣

[@Zeljin3662]

Do you have an electrical diagram drawn up on what wires you extended to move the ecu to the cabin and all the engine fuse boxes and relays to the trunk for a engine bay tuck?

[@LakeBuilt]

The way that I found best to do it was to lay out the actual harness and just label which wires need to go where, then re route them and make new splits. I only really wrote down the wire colors that I would extend, if that makes sense?

[@dannymasson_1975]

Awesome build, which turbo manifold is that?

[@LakeBuilt]

@dannymasson_1975 that's a SPA Manifold, fits the IS300 really well actually!

[@dannymasson_1975]

@@LakeBuilt nice man, any cracking or any other issues with it?

[@LakeBuilt]

@dannymasson_1975 it's a pretty heavy duty cast Manifold so it should last a very long time. Only thing needed is some shorter manifold studs

[@dannymasson_1975]

@@LakeBuilt​​⁠sweet thanks for the reply. How does the t56 hold up to 700whp?

[@LakeBuilt]

@dannymasson_1975 great, probably one of the smoothest shifting transmissions I've ever driven. Definitely recommend

[@danielgalan6518]

Will auto sports engineering hanger work for other fuel pumps? Is it just drop in? Looking for a fuel hanger options for my na-t build.

[@LakeBuilt]

Yeah other fuel pumps work. Basically all walbro pumps will work. You do have to assemble it, which takes a little time but not too difficult. It's a good hanger overall!

[@bonadi9362]

Hi, Im currently working on making about 450-500whp on my is300. I decided to go with GT3582R turbo, forged rods, 2JZ-GTE headgasket, some 1000cc injectors, LP340 fuel pump ( i know i need some fuel regulator and some details fuel related. Im going to do 2 maps, one for 330 ish hp and the second one for the 450+ goal. Even though I did some research, could you tell me if im missing something important engine related? also, I wonder ifoil cooler for the engine is worth doing for this kind of power?

[@LakeBuilt]

Hey man, for that power goal what you have listed will be plenty strong. As far as an oil cooler goes you don't need one at all, there are 1000+ hp 2jzs out there that aren't running them. So not necessary at around 450hp. But if you want to run one you definitely can, it definitely will help the oil temps.

[@ryanhayward6030]

Maybe i missed it in one of your other videos but is there any port work done to it?

[@LakeBuilt]

Yeah it had porting done, also had dimpling done

[@ryanhayward6030]

@LakeBuilt thanks, I know it's the only way to make these heads flow but God damn they want an arm and a leg for any work to these heads! Bad ass build by the way

[@kellynkarr6270]

Do you think that intake would have fit without having moved the ECU box?

[@LakeBuilt]

@@kellynkarr6270 I think you could get it to fit. Would just be limited to a smaller throttle body and have to run the IC piping directly down in between the PS pump and radiator

[@kellynkarr6270]

@@LakeBuilt Thanks for the response. I'm looking at the SPA intake and exhaust manifold for my build but I don't wish to relocate the ECU box. I'll be using a bosch TB but that sure looks like it'll be close to the ecu box!

[@turbogears900]

Great work

[@LakeBuilt]

Thanks man!

[@treetopchris]

How much did you charge to do this bro?

[@LakeBuilt]

On my end I charged around $15k in labor/parts. The customer spent more on his end with having the engine built/buying a new T56 transmission etc. Probably close to a $30k build here

[@tonystark9082]

Help!?from the UK I got a 02 lexus is300 2jz ge European I'm getting confused with blocks and heads and vvti parts good or bad. Somethings I understand I got a lot to do to achieve a turbo build. Can anyone help me out with what I need to change, keep or modify to maybe either turn 2jzge into a 2jzgte if that is a thing or 2jz ge turbo build Thanks in advance

[@LakeBuilt]

@tonystark9082 so you can build a 2jz GE into a more reliable/higher hp rated engine then a stock 2jz GTE is. Price wise you'll be spending about the same to build a GE then to buy a GTE in most cases, it'll actually be cheaper to just build your existing GE engine. The GE vvti cylinder head also flows more air compared to a GTE head also so that's a plus.

[@Vivianauxito]

What an excellent vid! Sir, Do you do tool reviews? We would like to invite you to review our portable air pump. How can we connect with you?

[@buya_pr]

Is this on a factory 2JZ-GE

[@LakeBuilt]

@buya_pr Yes sir. Just rebuilt with stronger internals. I prefer to go this route because you can build a GE for cheaper than buying a GTE swap. And the GE will handle more power that way

[@buya_pr]

@@LakeBuilt Wow that’s Impressive. I didn’t know that a GE can handle all of that power. I always thought that a GTE swap was required to make that much power. Now I know there is hope for my IS, lol!
