Turbo Lexus IS300 Dyno Checkup! 2JZ-GE-T getting ready for spring! From Lucore Automotive

[@LucoreAuto]

We love this car. We really really love this car. Hope you all do too!

[@bikinicarwash6320]

love love love LOVE IT!

[@LucoreAuto]

@@bikinicarwash6320 thank you, so do we!

[@JeiceNismo]

Love that you described it correctly... a GE-T. Not a "na-t 👎". Never understood why people call a turbo'd car that's not an NA anymore a "na-t". Great vid.

[@Annita737]

It is literally the same term regardless. Have you been living under a rock? NA-T has always been the term for a Naturally Aspirated engine that has been turbo’d, been called that for years.

[@user2917]

Good to see all of you guys are well and good in South Africa we getting ready for winter hope to see more videos of the car be safe and keep boosting

Doesn't sound too bad eh? :) Still one of our favorite projects we've ever built!

Love turbo IS300’s!

[@LucoreAuto]

Ty Sir we LOVE how this car turned out and it's been a great ride for years. Definitely turns heads and drops jaws ;)

[@Brinks84]

Time for a ffim and new intercooler to hit 600whp. Great build!

[@LucoreAuto]

Oh it's certainly capable of more power that's for sure, keep in mind this is also still on the stock NON PORTED intake and stock throttle body! At this point we're honestly at the limit of what "street tires" can do on this thing so more power would just be for dyno bragging rights. Glad you like the build, we are pretty proud of how it all came together!

[@AngelMartinez-yv6wg]

Love it, planning to build one!

[@caribshogun9772]

Love your is300. I definitely want to boost my is300. I just need to figure out a budget to get it there.

[@LucoreAuto]

Thank you :) We actually have made some other videos on here talking about the costs to build something like this. Should help you do your homework

@@3ch0_17 plus fueling, ecu, tuning and misc. Components. $3k minimum

[@3ch0_17]

@@nickadkins7765 wouldn't need that much misc parts, the fueling would simply be larger injectors and if you stay below 11 ish pounds of boost you wouldn't need tuning either

[@nickadkins7765]

@@3ch0_17 you still have to make the fuel system a return style setup. Bigger injectors on a stock ecu don't work unless you're tricking the ecu some other way. There is 1 guy on youtube that's been able to do a reliable boosted 7psi setup on stock ecu. His name is MrPhukyew. He claims anywhere from 280-320whp. Not going to be done for anywhere close to $1k. If you want a setup like the one in the video it's going to run in the ballpark of $8k and that's sourcing your own parts and doing your own work. The oem IS300 trans will not hold 500whp, and the OEM ge vvti rods will not hold 450+ whp. He has forged rods and pistons in the car, standalone ecu, nice turbo kit, nice fuel system etc...stuff adds up quick. You could have $500-1000 in misc. Components in a hurry.

[@LucoreAuto]

@@NarxolepticCustoms It's a fun little ride, we've honestly not really shown it off much on the channel other than for Santa's yearly trip to drop off toys. I'm sure it will eventually make an appearance here for some actual build/documentation. It IS the one thing almost everyone who drops something off for us to work on asks about... or tries to buy ;)

Is it me or does boosted 2JZs, at low RPMs, sound like a Peterbilt with giant stacks?

what have you done other than boost? pretty unfamiliar with these (i work mostly on VWs lol) buddy of mine has one of these and he was considering selling it to me

Fire away :) What would you like to know?

[@EricDenton-221]

@@LucoreAuto what did you use for exhaust manifold? You said you used stock head, intake...does that include using the stock valves and springs? Did you add the oil squirters to the block? Other than the BC racing coil overs what other suspension mods did you make? Did you change the gear in the diff? Who made your drive shaft when you swapped transmissions and where do you get the adaptor plate for the Supra trans to bolt to the GE

@@classys-chassis6433 that's honestly not all the surprising to hear, most shops stick to the newest and easiest stuff. LS, Coyote, modern HEMI, or the more modern Japanese platforms.

There's probably still more power on the table just have to figure out how to cool the intake charge better

Happen to have any video of someone running 700whp on the stock TB and Intake?

[@chrisej207]

@@LucoreAuto water/methanol injection, wrap the charge pipe in heat resistant material. As for videos of OEM IM, no. I’ve been told by individuals that have 1000whp JZs the stock IM is good for 700. Contact Geo at RealStreet Performance, they are probably one of the only shops that have taken a JZ to Drag Week.

[@LucoreAuto]

@@chrisej207 could certainly get into the water/meth injection but that's not really a true street car tactic. There's plenty we could do to force more power into this car but all of that gets a bit beyond what the point of the car was. Even at 500whp this thing is a handful on the street, if we really wanted to go for bigger power numbers as a drag car the formulas are pretty well shown. If you can find a stock GE/Throttle body car that makes more than 500whp we would certainly love to see video of their setup!
