In today's video, I drive my turbo Lexus IS 300 over to my friends house to help him start his own turbo IS300 for the first time! He has been building this Lexus for years, so this was a big day for him.
Ohhhh loving the color choice gold and green WORKS! Unfortunately this is how projects like this go, we took the engine in and out of our Boosted_Lexi 8 times making sure fitment and connections were perfect and there were no leaks. Welcome to the turbo IS300 crew Andrew!
Yep. This is just one of those things everyone goes through but no one talks about. Haha
Bro you have been missed and the content to welcome back
Thanks my man!
bro that color & that engine looks dope nice congrats
Thanks Stan!! You rule brotha
Welcome back, man
Thanks for watching sir!
Shia Labeouf?
😂😂
My goal is to turbo my IS this year, can't wait for that first start too!!
Good luck!
Did you guys have any tuning issues with fuel pressure (since OEM is returnless fuel system) or put a return on the fuel line? Also what ecu are y'all running? I can't decide if I want to go AEM infinity or a cheaper piggyback. My goal is around 400 WHP realistically.
@@notsoaveragejoe2JZ there are no piggy backs that run these cars well. I strongly suggest the infinity standalone. That's what my car runs. Both this car and my car also have return systems for the fuel.
Thank you, I appreciate your response!
Siiiiick assssss vidddd
Thanks my man
map do it
So tempted to buy the 04 in my area with only 50k miles green like this too. Never thought I'd like a green
This green is such a sick color!
Really cool
I love your channel man. Hunting for my first IS300 atm. It’s not an easy task here in Europe.
Thank you! I'm sure you will find it!
RacecarAndChill actually I found one and I’m going to buy it this Friday. Fingers crossed.
@@xkukubax hell yes! If it has a factory radio, the CD player most likely wont work. You can use that to talk them down on the price. Lower control arm #2 bushings aka castor arm bushings will probably be shot too. The symptoms are a slight shake when you transfer the weight of the car. So when you go from gas to brake slowly, you'll feel the car shake until the weight is shifted to the front.
RacecarAndChill thank you for your kind advice. The car I’m eyeballing has all the bushings swapped for polyurethane ones and all the control arms have been sandblasted and powder coated. The only thing I’m not too keen on is the colour - electric green mica. I might repaint it though. Cheers!
@@xkukubax that's like slapping god right across the face! The green mica is beautiful!
What brand or vendor is that AN kit from so I know what to avoid.
Make your 100th video an UPDATE ON YOUR BUILDi need dem details
That's actually a great idea! I have so much exciting news to share! Thanks for being here!
Would you recommend a turbo kit for the is300 if you have stock internals?
Not really. Unless you get a standalone ecu, then you can run a little bit of boost reliably.
Just wanted to let you know that the link isn't working. Great video, love seeing people turbo the e-shift. That's gonna be my summer project next year. Subbed :)
Thanks man! I'll fix it shortly!
Here's the fixed link! czcams.com/channels/ida5DKUtSO73dS2ap2bofw.html
That ending really inspires me to boost mine 🥲he said “for someone who’s a non mechanic” I felt that one
Is that Cody Graham tuning it?
Just putting a base map on, but yes.
Yoooo what is that headliner made from? Looks siiiiick af
I wrapped it myself with some fabric I bought at some random fabric store! It was cheap, the whole interior cost like $50 in material, and most of that cost was for the glue.
RacecarAndChill dude well done, it just looks so classy yet sporty. I dig it
@@kylebradley8963 thanks man! I did it about a year ago, and if I were to do it again, I would use a different material. Looks like this material doesnt like the AZ sun much. The a pillars by the windshield have started to fade if you look close at it since I park the car outside. I'll probably redo it sometime.
RacecarAndChill I feel that, I’m in Utah rn but soon I’ll be moving back to NC and an is300 is my next whip so I’ll definitely take that into consideration. I love material when it’s inside a jacket or something😂 that’s why I dig it so much. But good to know it was generally easy and cheap
@@kylebradley8963 my roof feels exactly like the inside of a jacket! 😂😂 thanks for the support!
Where did u get the turbo kit I can’t find any
What part of az yall from?
Bro wtf is that wheel gap
Believe it or not, this cars suspension is stock.
Michael Sapp that’s not wheel gap haha, that’s my car a foot in the air on the lift.
RacecarAndChill actually not stock suspension at all. Koni yellows, tein springs, TRD sway bars, trunk strut bar, pro lex launch bar, srt subframe bars
@@dthmtlsk8r shows how much I know. 🤓
Needed to be longer bro, my poops on the clock need more time
😂😂😂 you get to youtube and poop on the clock?!?
I work at Toyota as a sales porter, with learning I could work around my schedule without anyone noticing ^^
