I'm a newbie here on ClubLexus but not a stranger to the information within here.

Got my 01 IS300 back in 2012... From then on, it has been an adventure. I was in the market for an intake manifold to further my build... Well, I came across XS-Power.
Customer service is a A+ in my book and not even one thing to complain about when it came to the product itself. They even followed up with me to make sure I received the FFIM and that It was to my liking. Thought I would share a few pictures and a mock-up install on my ongoing build.

Looks great! What throttle body are you going with?

EZP

I'm tared between a few choice. Losing DBW is looking kind of difficult since I'm staying Auto 5 speed. Love the Eshift, which is being built by Jeff Tsai So it' will be RMR 82.5mm TB or GS/LS400 TB [bulky] or the GTE VVTi TB. The GTE and GS/LS are plug and play and will allow me to keep the features that would hinder me if unplugged or deleted. That's only an issue for Auto trans [A650E]. GTE TB is my last option because it won't be the siz that I will need...

Nice build.

The RMR throttle body is a beautiful piece. About a year ago I installed a RMR intake manifold and throttle body on a buddy's Supra and it was easily the best quality manifold I've seen. But you're saying you'd have to switch to a throttle cable with the RMR and you'd rather retain the DBW? Sorry if I'm misunderstanding. Very interesting though, can't wait to see this whole thing come together.

Thanks bro

EZP

Thks, but no, I prefer NOT retaining DBW... Without it there's a quicker throttle response which is good in my book. Still debating on the RMR TB... It's the price that got me thinking. But I'm sure with the XS-Power FFIM, it will be a great match!

Looks good, hopefully a bigger turbo is in the works to take advantage of it???

EZP

I already have a bigger turbo collecting dust a my shop. It's a Garrett 4088 pictured below... Just want to see what this 68 A/R is going to produce

Yeah I misunderstood then. I was gonna ask why you wanted to retain DBW haha. It will definitely make a great match. I vote RMR!
