I did everything in my garage, bought a stainless steel tubular manifold manifold kit, Turbonetics T60-1 Turbo, made a return fuel system with a Walbro Pump and stainless steel lines, SX FPR, HKS wastegate, Tial BOV, custom IC pipes, 3" downpip/custom 3" Midpipe, MAP ECU tuned by me, Innovate Wideband, huge 4" thick intercooer. I just had a custom 3" dual exhaust made today, it sounds nice and the car responds much quicker, upgrading the valve body this week, upgrading the injectors this week, and adding Methanol / drag radials too.

Awesome video!

I think you should do a few writeups for those of us that are doing the DIY turbo install for our GS300's. Stuff like fuel, tuning, ecu control, obd2 stuff, etc. BTW: Thanks for the info last time.

I'm still deciding if I should go with the MAP ecu or a different piggyback system. First things first though, I need to get some more funds for my turbo project lol.

Thats what I was about to say. I had seen your setup over at my.is.

It would be cool if you could contribute some DIY or writeups as Jeff stated

Well I already did the mods so it's hard to detail a tech article to show how its all done. Up until this point I've owned Supras so this is the first GE motor I've done.

I could put together some complete kits with instructions if people were interested. Turbo, Intercooler, Piping, lines, fittings, valve body upgrade, fuel, map ecu could all be had for about 5 grand. Our trannys are good for 500RWHP, our motors are good for 450 + RWHP, there relly is no need to do a motor swap IMO.

Understandable.

Only thing with doing kits here is that you will have to sign up as a vendor to do so. If your interested PM Asiangirl (Liz).

I thought going over 350rwhp on our tranny and stock compression was pushing it?

I'm not on stock compression, I'm running a 3mm headgasket

With the valve body upgraded our trannys have held as high as 500RWTQ per Peter Farrell, thats over 500RWHP
AR is .68

How is spool with the .68 housing? What headgasket did you use and how much of a comp drop is it? Down to 8.5 - 9?
