I recently bought a 2003 IS300 that came with a SRT Intake already on it. It is my winter car so I dont really need it too have this aftermarket intake so I figured i would sell it and put the car back too stock.


What is all involved with converting a IS300 with SRT intake back to stock air intake components?

Is there soldering wires required?

thanks for the help in advance

 

There a couple things with the SRT intakes, i have a set up with the piggy back ECU which yes requires soldering, and i believe that is the only setup that they sell, in my opinion i would just say leave it on, its a great setup with a nice ECU to accompany it.

 

agreed. i also have the SRT intake with ECU and i love it.

 

Hi, thanks for the reply guys but was wondering the difficulty level of removing it? Like how much soldering is required. I bought the car with it already on so I have no idea what is really involved.

on the scale of 1-10 what would you say the difficulty level is to convert it back too stock.

This IS300 is just my winter car and I would like to take the $300 I can get for the intake and put it towards some goodies for my summer car.

 

can you solder?

 

If you can solder then it's a simple diy. Here's the diy for the install....just do everything in reverse. The instructions are down a bit on this page....

hey wassup guys... i had a question if anyone can answer it... i traded a guy my stock intake for a SRT INTAKE with the ECU... he had the same year car as me 1998 GS400... so i swapped mines out on the spot with him. buy did not install the ECU til i got home i looked at it and it said it was for the 2001 up Gs430/ls430/sc430. he said he jus bought the car and wanted to trade for a stock 1 . he didnt even know bout the Ecu until i told him. and i cut it out his car when we were trading. if i wire the ecu up will it Damage my Engine??? and if i ride without it what would it do???? thanks

 

wrong section brother. You're in the IS300 section

 

Call up SRT (301-982-4600) and ask them if both cars use the same kit. Maybe somebody in the GS section can help you out.

 

I thought the GS SRT ECU was plug and play, but the IS300 one had to be wired up. Maybe I am wrong but I thought thats how it is.

 

hm? a RWD winter beater? lol i can't believe IS300 are being used for winter beaters already.

 

koo thanks... my badd i didnt even realize i was in da is300... i hooked it up and it worked...had to take it 2 a shop to wire the piggy bacc ecu... ohh yea i call Srt and could never get through...answer machine all day...

 

I will take a Rear wheel drive car with Snow Tires over a FWD car with all season tires any day.

The IS300 does pretty well IMO

 

keep the intake on.

 

Its already off and sold and gone at this point.

The car is actually quite a bit slower now.......but that will make the wheels grip better in the snow.....making the car more ideal for winter!
