Things get very tight on the IS300 especially with twins. I do have a buddy that does 2JZ swaps in my area and he has been my source when ever I had a question on my build, or ordering any parts he would help out, he also did all my custom exhaust work and intercooler piping. In your case since you are keeping the stock twins you would need to run the aristo harness and aristo ecu which would require the wiring to be done. Just PM me if interested ,he can get this done professionally and for a reasonable price.
What's up man? Car is coming along very nicely. I read that you have someone that works on 2j's. I have a 2GS with an aristo swap. I'm looking for someone reputable and knowledgable on these engines that can have a look at mine. Having some issues with it and am looking for someone to try and diagnose it for me.
Forgive my ignorance, but is the MK3 supra lSD an upgrade for the factory LSD?
You may have seen by IS300 at induction…been there since may!
I have stock LSD on 944hp going for over 1k soon

The lsd that comes in the IS300 is a torsen type LSD vs a MK3 which is clutch type lsd. Both have it's advantages. Along with the MK3 diff I've installed the Max Grip kit from Weir Performance and properly shimmed it to specs. The reason I went this route was because I had the diff laying around here. If I had the IS300 LSD I would of just sticked to that.
I probably did see it, what color is your IS?
Those are some nice numbers, what tranny are you using?
Are you doing the Supra diff in the stock housing? Im looking to do the supra diff sometime soon as well. Curious what the best route is.
Yes I am. I purchased the weir kit to adjust the backlash to spec. I followed the Mk3 TSRM for disassembly and assembly of the lsd. Just waiting on the car to be tuned and basically I will be removing the stock is300 diff, then I will remove the ring gear and put it on the Mk3 lsd carrier and put everything back together in the is300 housing. I also need to get the axles stubs cut.

She is Thunderclound Metalic, and I have a V160 in there.
I am considering changing it out for a AA80E the new Lexus 8spd…we will see.
How did you dyno?
Also I may switch to a clutch style LSD as the torsen can get scary…my torsen in my supra almost caused a huge wipe out on a flatfoot shift only 700hp…..I put a carbonetics Clutch LSD in her and she is very predictable.

Seems that auto is the best way to go.
Good thing I went with a clutch type LSD.
They were having an issue with another car on the dyno which delayed my tune a bit, I believe my car is next and they should start tuning tomorrow. I will update as soon as I get any news.
She first made 525whp with 17.5 PSI on pump gas and they ended it at 685whp/621wtq on E98. Alpha said there's more left but the clutch was starting to slip. Here's one of the dyno sheets I was sent. I will post more details later on.
I got a pair of g-force comp2 for a really good price with about 90% of thread life left, traction is a lot better compared to before. For the time being that is, I need to go a lot wider currently these are 235/40/17.
I had to replace my brake booster and master. I was having some issues with the brakes and with the replacement I partially have resolved the issue. I still have an abs error that I believe is speed sensor related. I have to look into it once it's solved I'll be upgrading to TT's.
