Hey guys wassup?
I just got home from MO's and checked out my car.I dont even know where to start..
First off the SC(which was not in my car when I drove it) looks amazing, polished housing looked awesome and the billet alum. bracketing was so clean. when I got there the SC was in(stage1) and Mo was able to remove it in 20 mins. that is it.. super fast and very easy to bolt on. Also all tubing is stainless steel, not rubber. After he took it out I got to tear it around for a bit, let me just tell u that the TC/Tranny ECU upgrade made the whole werld of difference. the car and break loose in auto from a dead stop and spin the wheels for a good bit and slightly break loose in 2nd gear too. Very impressive.
Numbers will be released soon for Stage1&2 so be a little more patient, hehehe
I also got to check out his 6250 sq ft. shop. HUGE I tell ya. he will have an AWD dynojet, 3-4 lifts, and customer lounge ect.
and lastly I might add he has some pretty impressive parts comin out soon... that is another story tho..
Oh also the Stage 2 ECU will be piggyback not a replacement ECU. that is finalized. So all of his ECUS will be piggyback. And it is not just leining out the car more either..

wish me luck things are lookin real damn good..

Awesome! It must have felt good to get in your car again! Was it hard to drive with the TC in it? Could you still take off from a stop without it being jerky? Do you know what the stall speed was? Will mo make TC to whatever stall speed I would want? How much longer before your driving around with your supercharger in your car.

Mo's shop sounds pretty crazy! An AWD dynojet!?!?!?! That some crazy stuff. There isnt too many of those in the US

stall speed I dont know, I forgot to ask =( but it was still very easy to drive normally not jerky like a auto mustang or camaro shift kit/TC install..
but when you were on it.. feels 20 times better, it is not just because I have not driven and IS in months, both of my buddies have IS's so I still get the drive them alot.

the shop is nice and I will out drivin on stage 2 for a few weeks before it goes back in for stage4... woohoo

So how much hp are you expecting at stage 2? How much boost will you be running?

stage 2 should only be about 6 psi of boost or so intercooled and somwhere around 100 rwhp. give or take some.. we will be doing dyno runs very very soon..

Hey Brian, I would love to see your car whenever you are in the area let me know.

white---- give me a couple more weeks, the SC stage 2 is very close to being done and I got to get the bodykit done... so that will be a lil bit too.. but I might run at battle of the imports with no KIT... who knows..

Hey Brian, just like I was tellin you when we were @ the shop, I have never been crazy about the IS300 personally, BUT I'm seriously considering getting one to "mod up to all be damned!" after seeing you drive it & when Mo & I had to road test after the TQ C being installed.

What do you think?

Marken GO FOR IT MAN.. y not what do you got to lose? I am not savin up for the rest of my parts.. let me know how things are going on it and get MO to finish it up soon so I can get bodykit done byb by AUG 24.

BATTLE OF THE IMPORTS is at ATCO AUG 26th.. Lets shoot for that..?

what do you think/.

Marken, if you want a MODDED IS that is GONNA BE FAST I will sell you mine for the right price...

off topic but do you know when the stage two ECU will be released. I want to purchase it and have mo send it to me right when it is released.

stage 2 ECU will be done soon, you prolly want to call MO and set it up with him to get it all setup..
