Default My Twin Turbo GS3 on 19's
Here she is! I know some of you have heard about it so I bring you the picures.The power plant is a 2JAYZ-GTE Aristo motor and the swap was done to perfection.All gauges work and the after many of hours spent adjustng coil overs I must say I nailed the Stance.I cannot say enough about the ride of the Lexus suspension mated to the Megan Coilovers,but its pretty much a match made in Heaven.The best way to describe her is just like a Grand National.Fast without sacrificing beauty or creature comforts like A/C and powersteering.

So with minimal mods its a 400hp twin turbo animal,but Santa Claus assured me the twin turbos will be fine until the single turbo conversion kit arrives.Not looking at going crazy with the build but a 550hp daily grinder is what the goal is set for












What she will look like when it's all said and done

What Toyota model are your wheels from, and do you know if they clear LS400 brakes?
Love the stance. ��

looks like a clean swap.....you should have done that single turbo before dropping in that motor though. Its a ***** to pull them stock twins when the motor is in.

You're going to need more rubber than 235 with that kinda power, no?

Soon as the LSD goes in the rear I will put the drag radials off the stang and make a blast down the 1/4 mile to get a before and after number.Then the single turbo conversion begins
