Default New member with twin turbo GS

Hello everyone. I am new to this forum. For some reason, I had it confused with lexusownersclub.com Anyway, I am in the South Florida area and my daily driver is a 2002 twin turbo GS300. The original 2JZ powerplant that came with the car was swapped out in favor of a more potent 2JZ GTE vvt-i from a 2002 Aristo V300. In addition to the engine, I have the following mods in the car:

-HKS RS Intake
-HKS EVC PRO boost controller
-HKS SLD Type II
-HKS Type S Intercooler
-HKS Intercooler Hard Pipes
-3" QUEST POWER downpipe
-3" QUEST POWER midpipe and exhaust
-US specs CT12 turbos
-US specs twin turbo supra injectors
-Stock Twin Turbo Supra Fuel pump
-Blitz DC II
-TRL Performance Boost Cut controller
-Tein Type Flex coil over
-Stock Twin Turbo Supra Brakes
-Brembo cross drilled slotted rotors

with this set up, the car dynoed 463 rwhp and 517 rwtq @ 18 psi on pump gas

I used to have a body kit where the big front mount intercooler was showing as well as some 18 inch chrome rims.


but my wife hated that kit as much as she hates my MKIV Supra and traction had become an issue with the 18 inch so, I got a new body kit, sold the bling bling rims and got some 20's...LOL Here are some current pictures of the car with a new paint job on it by the way...

I remember reading one of your kill stories on Supraforums. I knew I hadn't seen your car on CL before...lol. Welcome and once again that's tight GS.

I like the current wheels and kit better than the previous.




Nice house

welcome man, that's a nice setup you got there, must be a fast car! aristo v300 swap, that's always a good choice, and we all know that the engine is bullet proof

Don't know where you are in Florida but you should try to make this track event in Bradenton and turn some heads...

Talking

Thanks for the warm welcome guys and thanks for the compliments. The road to building this car was not easy. Those of you who go to lexusownersclub probably already know what I went through....At any rate, I am fairly happy with the results but I plan to add more power in the near future (ie. going single...single turbo that is ) I already have the manifold, the SP67 turbo, the fuel rail, the larger 720cc injectors. If only HKS did not have such a stupid policy with regards to its software, I would have already bought the FCON VPRO and let it control the whole thing. However, I am now at an impass considering that the stock computer won't be able to do the job and AEM is not an option because of the vvt-i and drive by wire...Oh well, who knows, may be one day someone will get a hold of that HKS software...and in case anyone can get it, I don't even need a key, I will make my own Thanks again for the welcome guys.

Hehehe...Yep, I am finally here. I travel a lot because of my business but I have decided to take a few weeks vacation. As far as nitrous, I seriously doubt I'll ever use any in this car. I blew one of my motors using nitrous before and I tend to shy away from it. Besides, the stock tranny tends to unreliable over 500rwhp. The next step is to single turbo but I can't proceed until I get my hands on a FCON VPRO WITH software. You probably have it easy in your area with plenty of HKS pro tuners but here on the East coast of the US, there aren't any and I sure am not going to ship my car over to the West coast to get it tuned...Oh well...may be one day

Nice Car.
Hi Cinful, thanks for the compliment. I am in the MIami area but I won't be able to make it to Bradenton because of the date. I know for a fact that I will be out of town. My business takes me all over the Caribbean and Latin America and I hardly have anytime for myself. Heck, I have to bribe the wife and the dog (especially the dog) everytime I come back in town since they pretend to have forgotten I live in the house
