Building an IS350 6MT
#214
The computer showed up! I will be installing it tonight and then I can go for a test drive, hopefully fully functional! There will be one or two things I need to verify afterward, but they are small things that I just couldn't check without having the computer installed.
Really looking forward to driving the car again.

After a couple of hours of test driving the night I installed the ECU, I headed out for the weekend on a 2,500km (1,550 mile) trip through the mountains to properly test everything and give the car a good shakedown. Beyond a couple of minor issues (the IS350 traction control is much more sensitive to tire size variations than the IS250, and I'm not running stock tires), I declare the swap completed. I might make a couple of enhancements to a few things over the next few months, but nothing too major. I'm happy with the feel of the clutch and flywheel, but I may look into a custom flywheel at some point if I have any issues with the dual mass springs holding up to the increased torque.
Now I can finally present the world's first (to my knowledge), LHD IS350 6MT:
fin.

A dream came true buddy!Props to you for doing it!I wish I could do it too but I m sure the cost for me would be double including the shipping cost for the engine plus I don think I could ever have the knowledge to do this.I installed LMS supercharger instead and I m curious how the car would feel with extra 50 hp.Congrats again Jeff
