I know a lot of people have already done this project but I still wanted to post some pics of my project see what you guys think. A friend of mine who is a mechanic did most of the mods for me. The car is not running yet...but it should be soon.

Here are some of the mods:
2jzgte USDM
r154
spec 3 clutch
boost controller and mapecu
downpipe custom made exhaust 3" pipes
air intake thats all i can think of right now
Black Front mount intercooler 3" pipes
Nitto NT05 tires all the way

 

it's almost done i havnt put the mapecu and boost controller in, for some reason im only running 8psi as of now, but i still love it.

 

Looks great! Any pictures of the car itself? What mufflers are those?

 

Awesome! What was the total cost of your swap?

 

btw ur car inspired me alot on this project! i have to take more pictures of the car itself...those are fatboy mufflers, i wanted to make something different thats why i chose them, some people love them some hate them lol.

 

Nice work, I wanted to know what you did for your r154 to fit correctly.

Also what about your power steering hook up

 

I read alot about the cost of swap here on lexus forums, everything was going as i expected and as it was said by many people around $2500 for all the parts no labor, but mine went a little over that because i ended up buying little parts (bolts and nuts) from toyota dealership for another $400. so i would say $3000 including all the parts.

 

 

I still need to take of alot of stuff on the exterior of the car to make it what i want, but these are just some of the pictures of the progress of the car.

 

I had the shifter extended a few inches back to make it fit, which i regret rite now, after driving it, it feels weird, i think ill have to send it to driftmotion to make it perfect.

 

i had to paint over the white mishimoto on the intercooler to make it a sleeper

 

i'm liking this...! keep up the good work and good luck with your new ride...!

 

Good looking out,

so what exactly about the shifter extension dont you like? How much did u extend it?

Also do you have pics of what the interior looks like as far as where the shifter sits?

Thanks,

-GP

 

Look's good! I like that shop too with the lift!

The trans cross member isn't stock right? What kind of mounts did you use?

I'm thinking about upgrading to the Driftmotion trans mount asap, because the damn shifter does move around like they say, which makes missed shifts happen more often.

Where in Texas are you?

 

wooooowwwwww!!!! i love this build..very nice bro...i must say the exhaust looks killer aswell...cant wait to see the out come of the car, make sure you keep us fellow sc members posted!
