I'm sorry, but what exactly do you mean by twincharging?
Just curious. Although I have moved onto an tt r154 sc400, if I were to turbo my es300, I think the ct26 would be a perfect solution for our cars.
Goodluck

Twin charging = supercharger + turbocharger

EEngineer

^x2

CT26 is an old old turbo. It's far from being perfect I'd say.
Perfection would be an Garrett GTX40R

Wouldn't a single turbo work better, along side of the supercharger? Didn't Dynamotorsports have a few issues and problems with their twin turbo setup on their Camry (which was originally built by Tony (If i recall correctly))

EEngineer

funny how you should ask.
Tony @ Dynamotorsport is like my neighbour now lol.
I've known Tony for few years by now. The guy is amazing, and I've gotten rides in most of his cars.

My Camry's custom swap was done at his shop, the car was tuned there as well. My custom supercharger install was aided by some of his custom welded parts also.

I plan on supercharging my car first and then turboing it with a large single turbo later on. Twin-Turboing the 1MZ or 3VZ would be a bad idea because of the way the motor is designed. It will generate way too much low end torque and produce average-ish top end power. This way the car has no traction and top end feels a lil choked. That is why Tony kept the TT setup on his car for only like 3 month before dropped in the HKS T51R KAI.

Ahah nice.... I got the feeling were going to be looking at a 450+ hp 5spd ES300

EEngineer

that's my power goal yea, but it'll take too much money....i need to make more money urgh...

here's an quick update.
my attempt at changing valve cover seals, spark plugs, sparkplug wires, spark plug seals, pcv valve and pcv grommet.

^Haha looks like you got your hands dirty

EEngineer

finished the project today.
oh man!!!!!! the new spark plugs gave the car a new breath of life!!!
i can't believe i did so much work on the car and waited so long for this project.
the car is superbly smooth now with the new plugs and wires. 5th gear has no more shaking!!! the car revs so much faster and sounds a lot quieter.
i cannot stress the importance of spark plug changes enough after this project.

a couple of pics from tonight:

looking clean considering the motor has 500k+ kms

As an original owner of a 94ES with 164k mi, I must say that I am impressed at all you have accomplished. Looking forward to your future updates.

EEngineer

^ thanks for the kind words! please do keep tune in for more cool updates!

a quick update that is complete off the topic.
my girlfriend wanted a powerful PC that she can use for a long time.
so then i built a storm trooper for my gf.
