very nice OP. looking good. what rear end you using now, you not staying on the OEM are you?

 

factory rearend!

 

OP, this build is sick, I am sure that thing is a beast and has everything you said it does cause why would anyone put a baller hogan intake on that without major mods? I really like your build man, can't wait to see this thing go.

Couldn't you just run two complete different computers, one for the LS motor and trans and the factory ECU to run everything else? That is what most people do when they do most of their EFI swaps that are into a car that it wasn't intended to go into. I think that's how CleanS14 did his, kept the stock ECU and powered the LS with it's own ECU, and ran a t-56.

 

i also thought this was the case with the LS swap...

 

Yes, you need to run run dual ECU. But when I said stock functions...I was referring to cruise control and traction control. Also, the gauge cluster might not work correctly. AC, airbags, and ABS are separate systems that should still function correctly.

 

The TH400 has arrived. Built by the best, Mike's Transmission. I dropped the factory built tranny today. Just waiting on the adaptor plate and converter.

 

your brakes. give them to me.

 

Your comment and your avatar together is funny.

 

nice....been wondering how this is coming. its a subscribed thread to me

 

[QUOTE=justink08;5134446]First time poster... Here's a build we have been working on.

Brief history: The owner of the lexus (which I'm pretty sure is a member of this board) originally had it supercharged. Wanting more power, he purchased a used turbo kit and brought it to us to install. After spending some time to sort the kit out and puzzling over some of the pieces, we convinced the customer to have us build one from scratch. From what started as a relatively straight forward turbo install turned out to be a long drawn out full on build. First I'd like to thank Kenny Lynch for his patience and I'm sure the wait will be worth the while.

Specs:
built bottom end consisting of pauter rods and ross pistons, blue printed and balanced.
custom ground camshaft
hogan intake manifold with 90mm accufab throttle body
comp turbo (triple bearing)
tial 60mm wastegate and 44mm blowoff valve (to the atmosphere)
550cc injectors (we'll see how the transmission holds before we throw some larger injectors in)
two factory transmissions with upgraded internals
aem ems

misc:
bosch iac
ceramic coated exhaust (all vband)
aem boost controller
twin walbro in tank fuel pump (two -6 coming out of the tank joined to a -8 before the fuel rails, and a -6 return)
aeromotive fuel pressure regulator
powder coated wrinkle black ic pipes
aem gauges
greddy turbo timer
stoptech big brake kit

without further ado




INSANE!

 

updates still needed....

 

progress has been much slower than anticipated. here are pictures of the mods we made to accommodate the th400.

here we had to cut the original one piece bell housing off the th400 and hybrid it with the factory bell housing.




custom tranny mount


shifter




we're getting closer!

 

love the black intercooler so sleeper. does that affect the cooling process?

 

nice had the th400 in my old cj-7 it was a GREAT transmission

glad to see some progress, keep it up

 

everyone has there own theories on that. from my own personal experience there is no ia temp increase
