Kinda been bummed out lately cuz I've spent so much cash on mods for my 430 (srt intake+ecu, s&s headers, full custom exhaust w/ 2.5" piping using magnaflow high flow cats/mufflers w/ x-pipe, and 3.76 lsd rear end)

Don't get me wrong she pulls hard off the line, but its just no comparison to the current cars on the market... Just wonder what it would be like if there was some way to fit the IS-F motor in my GS (of course only if I hit the lotto or something) Idk it was just a daydream that I thought I would share...

Here's a vid of my exhaust if you wanna hear it...

Why not do a supra (2jz-gte) motor swap?

 

cause he has a gs430....V8 FTW....

Supercharge it

nice video, little raspy for my taste but why do your inners flash?

how u like them S&S headers btw?

 

LOL thats exactly what I was thinkin!!

 

it's a 4k lbs boat... you will need FI or Nos if you want to get her moving fast... we drive luxury sedans, not supersport compacts...

 

Maybe get a NEO and have it tuned for your mods..
And then FI!

 

Yeah like the guy above me said, to add to that...

If people are buying these cars with the priority to make them fast on a budget in respect to modern day 500 hp stock cars, you are in for a trip. If you want cheap power you better get an ls1 or mustang.

 

Don't supercharge it, just my opinion. Its hard to compare old technology to the new technology. Like the top of the line old school projection to the new LED TV's. You'll just keep kicking yourself...no matter what add on things you do, it will not compare.

 

Sounds good, but a little raspy for my taste.

I only paid roughly $175 for my exhaust setup.

 

Didn't even see that.

 

Its that simple. All those mods and there are newer stock cars that will still pull on you. I am sure the IS-F engine could be swapped in. Throw enough money at it and it will fit like a glove and run like a champ.

Or you can always buy the LS1 GS that's for sale.

 

Sounds great... guess when you coming down the block, they know its you... lol

 

Coming from someone who used to own a modded Cobra, I think the exhaust sounds good. Maybe just a tad too raspy, but overall sounds pretty good.

 

i like the exhaust. mine is raspy liek that too. dude i know how u feel about wasting money it is ok just know that in the end it will all be alright...just do what makes u happy. i say get a high stall TC like 2800 then get a neo...im pretty sure you can free up like 30 ft lb....and 30 hp....u will def notice it man...from what i read.

 

Of course I know, but my dream is to have a 4-door luxury that will murder anything that pulls up next to it... especially 2-door sports cars.. but i dont ever think i could go american.. well unless it was a z06, or even the zr-1

i agree... but i just love my GS so much that I could never let her go lol

lol like I said if I hot the lotto the IS-F motor would be one of my main priorities lol... But as far as the ls1 in that GS.. it's very unique and i give my props to the owner, but me personally, I would only stick to toyota/lexus motor for my gs

yupp exactly... my neighbor is always yelling at me.. But I respect my neighbors so I always creep slow out of my neighborhood

Yea I wouldn't mind the sound being a lil smoother, which could easily be obtained by adding some resonators... but I love seeing the look on peoples faces when I pass by lol

Maybe I just need to go ahead and do that and see where it gets me... sigh... more money to be wasted lol
