Good luck to your new project!I m sure you will make it work.I wish you had a manual IS 250 and swap a IS350 engine with the manual trans so that I could do it to.

I'm sorry, maybe I missed something. Why are you doing this? Trade in your car and go buy an IS-F.

I could see if you are dropping in a 2JZ motor, or LSx Motor...but seriously.

I think he doing for the love and passion of being creative. If he just got an isf he just have another isf just like everyone else. Building this make he unique being a one off. 2jz been done ls1 has been done.To the OP good luck on the build.

I love that you are trying to actually do an ISF conversion on your 350 which makes me feel very optimistic. I hate to be a downer but there are very few IS-F's (correct me if I am wrong) that are actually pushing out more than 500hp because of the availability of parts and tuners because of how stupid lexus programs their ECU's The highest HP in an ISF ive seen was 515 with an STS twin turbo kit at 7lbs. No major tuning but just piggy back systems. Everything else i see is low 400's

I am curious on which way you plan on going to achieve your 500hp so i am definitely subscribed

So glad to see this swap finally happen; it was bound to happen one day...why not you!

So I'm curious why the IS-F's front end is extended and what spacial constraints you might have to overcome because of the swapping into the smaller 2IS engine bay?

I say good luck man & I wish you the best!
I feel the same way about my car that you do yours - I have a lot of personal time invested & the car has devalued too much for me to get a good trade in value on it, or at least close enough for me to do it right now.
I think this swap is a great idea though. I'd love to have an IS-F, but it would be great to keep my gauges & cooled seats (not to mention, sleeper)!
