Was this the "KIT"? Did it include fuel adjustments? bigger fuel injectors?

Does anyone know if lexus uses a cast or forged piston? What about the rods? I hear they use a 6 bolt main, but is the rest of the motor built that stong?

Show us a picture....love to hang that up as a "next mod" someday.........

dam, 525hp!

1. Does the price include installation/labor cost?
2. Is this smog legal in California?
3. How is gas mileage affected with this setup?
4. Why platinum plugs? Any reason why you didn't use iridiums?
5. Can you please post a picture of how the engine compartment would look like after installation?
6. Do you have installer/s in California?

Thanks for any input you may provide.

GRRRRR.... I hate I.E. I answered these once and it *lost* the changes....

I'll take a crack at answering these too...

1) Doubt it.
2) Not yet. Haven't been following the other threads eh?
3) Are you kidding? Who cares! If you make this mod do you really care what your gas mileage is? If so you might want to reconsider. Having said all that, I got 25.5 MPG at an average of 70 MPH on my return home.
4) Could be two things, colder plug needed than available in Iridium, cost. These colder racing series plugs are *not* cheap.
5) See below. The SC design and mounting has changed just a bit but you get the picture.
6) Yes they do. I'm sure they can post the info again.

Wow.......I want one too. This 525 HP is really making me miss my 500+ HP supra, but the supra did not have your torque curve, thats for sure (that's turbo lag for you). Your car has to be running like 12 second quarter miles now. Beautiful set-up!

I hardly doubt that set-up is smog legal here in cali, but if you know the right people you don't have to worry.
