Default Unleashing the Beast... Picture Story Line (56K Beware)

Okay guys, 7 weeks ago my car went into the shop for a major overhaul. With the help of Luxury Motorworks & Carson Toyota Lexus Parts, my car's motor has now transformed into a very sexy looking beast... After the engine was built and the SC was running, it only took a few mintues of us knowing that this supercharger was going to be a monster. We were seeing boost between 14-16psi under WOT. After doing the calculations, LMW figured that the SC was spinning at over 50,000rpms and decided to slow it down (larger SC crank pulley) to keep it more street drivable and to protect the internals of the SC from wearing out too soon. Currently, the SC is now spinning at 40,000rpms which is giving me between 12-13psi. With the new GTE block and internals, the car is runnning a compression of 8:5. The new LMS i-Manage is keeping the secondary fuel pump under control with the higher boost levels. With the larger injectors, the car is still under going maximum HP tuning right now. Once the car is dyno tuned and ready, I will post results and vid for everyone. Until then, enjoy the pics over the last 6-7 weeks...

Here is a list of what was done to the motor:
~ Brand new GTE Short Block swap, Supra TT Forged Pistons, Supra TT Oil Pump with squirtters, 2mm Supra Headgasket.
~ Heads were compression tested, acid washed and valves were re-sealed.
~ Brand new Polished Pro Charger P1SC-2
~ Brand new Custom fabricated dual bracket setup (1 polished / 1 powercoated)
~ Brand new RC Engineering 440cc Injectors
~ Brand new HKS Adjustable cam gear
~ Brand new LMS i-Manage w/ Blue LED lighting
~ Brand new Belts and BG Oil & Fuel additives
~ Brand new NGK 3330 Spark Plugs
~ Valve body upgrade (coming soon)

Now, on to the good stuff...... Special Thanks goes out to the crew over at Luxury Motorworks for working the long nights finishing up my car! A huge Thank You goes out to Steve Ganz for getting my new GTE block shipped in 1 day. Feel better bro!

I've drooled over the interior of your car for some time. But the night pics are absolutely awesome, and take it to a whole new level.

Thanks for the pics.

Can you PM me on where to get the parts. I want to mod the GS3 so bad right now. Please, please post dyno results - I'm dying to see what that inline 6 can do.
