The M104 Turbo Lexus IS200

Two years ago we set into swapping an M104 from a Mercedes S-Class into my Lexus is200. This was tonnes of fun and presented some huge challanges along the way as this was the first time i wired in a Link standalone ECU.
Join us for a condensed breakdown of the build process with more videos to come on road tuning. We haven't been to a dyno yet so power is unknown at 1.2 bar of boost. I would guess 450HP
Any questions drop a comment.

[@joacimanderzon8083]

i have the 2.8 m104 with 1.46bar of boost with 586whp and 786wnm so you shuld have a bit more then 450hp

[@powermcs6784]

Thanks this is good to know! What sort of fuel are you using?

[@joacimanderzon8083]

@@powermcs6784 E85 etanol

[@dodonom4832]

More videos of driving please

[@kevinruger8819]

1g? Interesting. We only got the Weaker version of the 2jz in our First gen IS here in the USA.

[@weneakhborzable]

I love it.what injectors are you using? Is the clutch heavy with that pressure plate?

[@powermcs6784]

I used Bosch 980cc, they're at about 56% duty cycle according to the ecu log at 1.2 bar. The clutch is quite heavy but doesn't bother me, probably comparable to a tractor clutch!

[@1411MEDIA]

Which gearbox are you using ? Is it a ZF5 or GS6-53bz ?

[@powermcs6784]

I'm using GS6 53dz, diesel version

[@1411MEDIA]

@ did you use an adapter plate or did it bolt right up to M104?

[@thecookeman]

Our m104 swap 10:1 3.2 did 390kw on 12psi stock engine. Would be plenty of power with that efr. What turbo is is 9180?

[@powermcs6784]

Great numbers for 12psi was this on E85? Turbo is 1.05ar

[@thecookeman]

@powermcs6784 6266 precision yes e85
