Very nice Ken. Let me know if you need help with the fuel system.
JPI

 

so is LMW going tto produce this setup


and if so what is the price ??

 

Looks great Ken! I actually liked it in person better...

Great ride

 

once the system is running nice and clean on lxogood's car, i am sure they will go to the next step :0

 

Ken,

I've been following your posts for a few years now. I clearly remember the pics you posted of the prototype Turbonetics system for the GS3. Guess that never came out, eh?

Congrats on finally pulling the trigger on an FI solution - it looks very clean!

 

Good 'O' Turbonetics... Yes, they never completed their setup for the 98+ GS/IS motors due to VVTI. They had a problem with the ECU and trying to crack it... They finally gave up on the project. for 97 and lower GS's, their setup will work...

 

Ken

which model did you go with

really would like to do this

did you install yourself

do you recommmend this setup

 

Yes that is a hot setup, I like it too. I wonder what the VVt problem was witht he turbonetics system, I would think you would have the same problem with a Supercharger but it seems that we were able to overcome it whatever that issue was.

 

Seen the car in person yesterday.... Great job Ken

 

Morris I talked to Turbonetics at Sema last year and they told me their engineers could not crack the Lexus ECU. They don't believe in piggy back ECU's...Of course, we all know how hard the Lexus ECU is to crack so they gave up on the project. They told me the Nissan 350z and infinity G35 ECU was cracked in 15 minutes that's why they were able to put together a turbo setup w/fuel managment for those cars. For some reason they had no problems putting together a turbo setup for the 1Gen GS car and SC300... LMW is working with a company for a fully adjustable ECU that will work with many F.I cars. The release date is in about 4-6 weeks.

TLW The wideband is great but gets a little annoying looking at the numbers during daily driving. install was very simple but you lose your clock and passenger seatbelt light... AEM has a wideband gauge that looks hot and can be mounted in a gauge pod. I came across AEM after I purchased mine.. Oh well.

 

Well that would explain it then, if they just dont like Piggy backs I could understand why they had to quit. That seems like such a wast thought becuase I thiknk you can probably hit 450rwhp or better with a piggy back and oem ECU

 

thanks

any specific model you used ??

 

Stopped by LMS today and Ken's car was there. Clean install and that whole system looks like it belongs in there. Was curious about the remote start so Jacen demonstrated how it works.

Ken, your ride is:

 

Beautiful job!


Sure you have David, you chatted on SELOC with DasGalloway about his Toyomoto supercharger kit remember? There are at least three companies making 'em for the IS, with our forum sponsor LMS coming out with the lastest one seen here!

 

LXOGOD and JTANOYO have the two best GS's in the world.

Everythign first class and high-end.

Tons of Power as well.

Congrats guys!!!

You really put me and my ride in my place!
