Turbo Set up...Help!
so for those of you who have turbo charged their lexus did you use the stock internals? for only 7-10 psi I feel that the 2jz-ge will be just fine but I just want to know about the ecu fuel etc I know the basics but what about those two thing particularly you had to do thanks for everyones advise too
before you go out and building your set up talk to SRT or PFS. they have kits for the IS300 and can build whatever you want.

Whoa, there is so much misinformation in this thread. First of all, you need to determine what your power goals are. Once you do that, then you can go from there. Not everyone's goal is a 1,000,000 rwhp dyno queen. Your stock motor is perfectly fine for boost, they have been proven over and over for years. But you also have the choice of building your stock block with forged internals, GTE internals or swapping a GTE shortblock, swapping a VVTI GTE and non VVTI, etc. Again, it all depends on your goals but keep in mind budget, emissions, etc.

I would love to see where i misinformed him. I said the stock block could probably get to 400hp. I never said you couldnt do 7-10psi and make 300hp i just said that will get old and he will want more so i was giving him information to help him do it right the first time. I was trying to figure out more specifically what he wanted. because his first question was about an EMS being his biggest problem.
But apparently i have misinformed him yet you havent shown where i said something to mislead him.

Lol for everyones info I kno about cars and everyone has been helpful slidingis included. The questions I was pertaining to were the engine manegement set ups, I have supra injectors I have the piping the turbo and everything and I'm an ase certified technician I was told I have to use a Honda ecu to reprogram my car to make it run off the new turbo set up with the compression change and all that **** I needed to double check and see what others did to their is to make it run right

i currently have the AEM standalone version 1 with the plug and play harness which is actually a modified Honda box. it makes good power, lots of shops can work on it. my only issue is it doent control idle so my tune is a little off and i sometimes have to play with the TB cable. some people say get an Idle Air Controller (IAC) as a fix. i think im going to swap it out for a ProEfi. love the idea of the added traction control.

my set up is a t67, with 720 injectors, upgraded fuel pump, regulator and return, tial bov, tial wastegate, stock bottom end with a cometics head gasket and ARP studs, valve body upgrade and built clutch packs. car made 454hp at 17psi.
just a pointer since you have all those supra parts, not all of them will fit. the GTE head is different than the GE head. not 100% sure but you may also run into issues with fitting the injectors.
If you do piggy back, don't waste your time with the SAFC. Get at the minimum an FIC or Greddy EMU. However, if you do standalones, then go with what your tuner knows best, Haltech, AEM, etc.

there are a lot of ecu options from SAFC piggy back to stand alone Motecs you can run. it all depends on your budget, goals, how much work youre willing to put in and put up with.

Unless this GE block is something magically different then the GE block that the SC's run, you're way off. I've seen numerous people Boost their stock 2jzGE blocks. I've also seen people swap a gte head on to a ge block and run some large numbers to the wheels.
I can't give you a max, but it seems that many people claim the ge bottom end of being capable of holding 600-800hp (depending on who you ask).
To the OP: You should be safe boosting the stock ge block with the minimal amount of boost you're thinking you want. Remember though, the ge engines have a higher compression so it will take less boost to reach the same amount of horse power. If you do plan to do anything more then 300. You should look into lowering the compression.
You do know that the GE and GTE blocks are near identical with an exception being that the GTE block has oil squirters?
