Feb 7, 2008: Project nearing completion.

Got a new toy to add to the collection. These fans don't come cheap either! It doesn't completely cover the whole radiator just because that radiator is freaking massive lol. This rad is about 2.5x thicker than the stock unit. I had to get slim Flex a lite fans because the stock radiator fans wouldn't clear with this massively thick radiator lol.

That's a chubby radiator.

I love how you have all the car parts laid out on the carpet on the floor! LOL Just like the dining room table, my wife would kick my ***! I love it!

Can't wait to see the finished product.

Hey Jeff, you mentioned in another thread about all kinds of wiring fun with the late 01-05 models...you wouldn't happen to have a diagram of that would you?

New turbo in the car now. I'm waiting to button a few things up here in the next week. Then I'll be able to bump it up and run around 700hp on the streets

I also have another even bigger turbo in the works that will be installed in about half a year along with a big fuel pump and upgrade injectors from current 1000cc to 1600cc.

Currently there's a PT67 DBB watercooled turbo on the car. Soon to be a 74mm or 76mm turbo and some insane head and bottom end work. I want this Lexus to rev to 9000rpm
