Default ES300 Supercharged *Update*
Hey all-

Just spent the time this weekend and finally installed my 5.5psi pulley/ 325cc injectors / Walbro 190lph fuel pump / ATS knock sensors and rebuilt the nose drive on the S/C.

The increase in power is definitely felt. Next step is some tuning, because I just know I'm running pig rich at WOT

Here is a short vid with some acceleration noises, etc... enjoy!

My car does not have Traction Control, but I wired up the TRD EBC VSV activation signal to the TRAC OFF light. This shows me when the EBC is activating boost cut.

Yeah, I was really interesting in seeing when the EBC was trying to activate. Most people claim that the automatics dont make boost in 1st gear, but seems to not be correct. Only time boost is cut is between shifts and past 6250rpm.

Hey, First off, I love the mods. Secondly, Roughly how much did it cost to do this? I would love to do this to my 2000 es300. Also, Can you make a tutorial on how to do this. I definitely love the 300, but I wish it had more power.
