- In today's video, I meet up with my friend @seth.wynne and he shows us his Turbo Lexus IS300 build. The car is 2JZ GTE swapped with an aristo motor. The engine is run on ProEFI and uses a plug and play harness for a 2jz ge engine. AR5 5 speed manual transmission from a Pontiac solstice or Saturn sky used with a drift motion ar5 driveshaft adapter kit. The engine was refreshed and converted to single turbo.
Nice to see another well put together turbo IS out there running around! Even if he IS GTE swapped, we still love him! ;)
😂😂 this car is so clean though!
@@RacecarAndChill yes it is! Definitely up to our standards, we approve!
Damn those wheels look so nice on that thing!
That car is so many types of beautiful
Very nice man
Have to love a nice IS300. Hope all is well 💪🏾
I remember when this car was all stock and yellow lol
Good shit Seth ✌🏼
Crazy how far its come!
thanks brother
GOOD QUESTION!
This video is fire !
Thank you sir!
oh come swap time, ill definitely be hitting him up lol would love to see more of this beast!
Let's make it happen!
Im here for it!
@@repeat_v2 what exactly do you want to see?
Bro, this is exactly what I was looking to do on my is300! Super nice. A/C is a must. Lol
Very clean build. U gotta bring Seth back and make more videos with him
What do you want to see??
RacecarAndChill going to the drag strip would be dope or maybe some races between u and him
mad props! my man just blew $20k + ..i had an is300 from new and it was such a letdown. Back in '02 we didnt know the GE would be so stupid. i was expecting to just bolt on a turbo and to be a nightmare. but it was just DOA. it really is too bad toyota was and still is so clueless about what the US public wants. PLUG & PLAY power with support. twin turbo juggernauts with tappable potential. why dont they get it
That's the common misconception with these cars!
Like those mu brakes.They look clean on that is300.
So beautiful!
Music to my ears! Nice ride!! Those wheels are more than I paid for my IS lol
Haha theres so many nice parts on this car!
Absolutely love this! So much inspiration to do my build now. Just subscribed. 👌
Welcome to the party! We're just getting started. 😉🤘
That's a clean ass IS300, those BRAKES ARE LEGIT MAN where'd you find those haven't seen those in DECADE'S. Trying to stay JDM as much as possible with my 05 hard to find parts (to a small extent) still looking for the OG TRD YELLOW SWAY BARS FOR MINE (FOUND THE FRONT IN JAPAN, can't find the rear, lol).
Please go through this car more
WE WANT MORE OF THIS CAR!!!
mint as fuuuh, I love it
First thing I recommend for a new IS300 Ge owner,… gte rods n pistons n head studs
No... ball joints first.
Seth seems to know his shit, please do a budget boost video with Seth for us BUSTERS out there to get faster. I'd like to bring that plan to my local mechanic and see what he thinks!
Oh and dont throw shit at me, but AUTO trans bois, I want a boosted daily driver!~
@@KiddNemes1s good idea!
@@RacecarAndChill its all im good for! ;-) i'd focus on lowest cost entry, do a 350hp bare bones club, 450club, 550club budget, leave as much in the budget for your tune as possible, counter weigh parts to reliability based on cost, offer the spectrum from low mid high on all facets...
you could make a series out of it, make sure the vids are at least 10 minutes a piece with 4 ads ;-) get dat yttube bucks bruh
@@KiddNemes1s that only works if people actually watch the videos! 😂
Let's get some roller shots and highway rips of this beauty!
I like where this is going!
Good info
Thank you!
Nice swap. Why did you go ProEFI over Link plug and play? What fuel pump are you using?
Hopefully Seth comes and reads these comments so he can give us some answers!
I dont know if link had options 4 years ago lol, walbro 450
Please make a video breakdown list. I want to build the same set up on my 2jz is300
We're filming it this weekend! 😉
@@RacecarAndChill Im so jelly! I just bought a 02 is300 2jz-GE manual swapped W55 5 Speed and I could not help but take down the ad to sell. It is clean but heavily loved with some minor tweaks needed to be done that i resolved and now love the car even more! It has 300 miles on original 2JZ-GE but I did all maintenance u can think of on it, so Im like send it! but I want to learn on upgrade 2jz or 1jz gte one day.
I came from 2zz-ge back ground but the inline 6 is where power is and maybe I might NA turbo? Basically I would love to know, whats the easiest swap vs whats the cheapest swap? Also can I use any stand alone ecu brand for 2jz ge and my original harness or does it have to proEFI? And lastly, how do I tune a S-AFC Apexi?
Thank you for your valuable time and support it is appreciated. ~tk
@@tkflex2332 there is lots of ways to get where you want to be. Na/t would probably be cheapest, and a 1j swap would probably be easiest. But I should note, none of them are actually cheap or easy.. haha you can easily get caught in making this thing a money pit. I would suggest you start with a goal in mind and dont change your goal unless you're ok with spending more time and money. You can pretty much use any standalone, as long as you have a tuner that can tune it. I dont know anything about the Apexi that you asked about, but if it's a piggy back, you're going to struggle to keepc it running right.
@@RacecarAndChill OK NA Turbo it is. Any links or info to direct me in the right durection? I have a few little things like gauges, intercooler and exhaust. List would be nice. What kind of ecu? wiring harness change? what kind of ecu is best? thanks appreciate it
Nice ! Just got a is300 5speed and want to do this swap but I wanted to see if it was possible to do it and still leave the AC 👌
Oh its very possible. Its just not cheap!
RacecarAndChill I’m sure it’s not but I’m ready, it’s been my dream as a kid to get this car and swap it !
Man I want to use this ar5 but man it’s going to cost more for a 2pc drive shaft to ride of the vibration. No way you can get a cv shaft made that can hold power
Yea you can. Its gonna cost about $900 for a custom driveshaft
I got my stock is300 drive shaft adapted for the driftmotion adapter for 500, no vibration till 105. Another guy was able to adapt a stock solstice cv joint to the 2 piece driveshaft and has no vibration, just need to find a driveshaft shop that will do this modification
Very nice sound... Anyone on here looking to buy a built is300 with a spun rod bearing? I'm done with this project after many years 🤣
What part of the world are you in?
Wisconsin! Built a GE with Gte Internals, painted engine bay, r154 trans, wired in a brand new Haltech 750 and then had an oil pump issue after a month and started hearing some knock. Been sitting in my garage since last spring 😭
@@ThreeDPrintDesigns bummer. It sounds like you've already got all the hard and expensive things out of the way! Spend a day pulling it and send it out to the machine shop! Then spend another weekend putting it back together. Realistically, you're like 2 weekends worth of work away!
You're right, I've pulled that engine so many times haha. It's the money my dude... the moneeeeyyyy!!!
@@ThreeDPrintDesigns you're not wrong. These things are such money pits. Why do we even like cars? 😂😅
Seems like it should be making more power easy stock engine or not
Does the AR5 directly bolt on to a 1JZ-GTE? I’ve been seeing this swap only with the 2JZ
Yes. They use the r154 bell housing.
I wondering what is first gear like since this gear box is made for truck and the gear ratio is not meant for turbo motor? All ar5 trans swap i see are either high way pull or second gear pull.. is first gear useless?
Yea first is pretty short. Very easy to spin in first though. Ar5 isn't perfect, but it beats the other options for that price range imo. 3rd gear tops out at roughly 90.
What kendwood stereo is that exactly?
That's so clean! But damn, I need to have a chat with my tuner. I'm 12 psi and only sitting at 323 whp on 91 octane...
Yea I'm at 15 pounds at 420ish hp.. haha but his turbo is very efficient! The whole setup is!
at 485 hp i was at 19 psi until the clutch starting slipping on the dyno. (gear oil leaking on clutch disk) The leak has been fixed since so im ready for retune
Wish i saw this vid before i bought the 1800 dll harndess and now im stuck with a dual ecu setup😣
We were already done filming the video when Seth told me that... as soon as I found out I said hold up! We need to put that information on the internet! Lol
So just so i get it tru my head... everything was plug in play?form the ge hardness to the gte exept for the deloom of the plastics and extend the one sensor right?
@@Darkeclipselm It was plug and play for the harness that Seth used! You'll still need an adapter harness, but it's not a custom one.
@@Darkeclipselm yes, as long as both engines are vvt-i, the pro efi set up wasn't cheap either but it saves the headache from having something custom made. Keep in mind all is300 are can bus systems and will use stock ecu to control body function. (Cluster, interior, a/c etc.)
Do you have a base tune? Is this better than the magasquirt? Im trying to tune my engine since i went with a single turbo
You guys fix the vibration issue?
Not yet. Looks like another custom driveshaft needs to be made. The key is to have a high speed cv joint in it.
Nice build how big are the injectors?
Good question! Hopefully Seth gets on here and answers some questions!
750 Denso
@@garagehotcar look who decided to join us!
I don't have ig what's the wheel specs
If Seth ever visits here, maybe he can post it
@@RacecarAndChill what size wheels are those? They look great.
Does anyone know what wheels those are
Watch the video one more time and turn it up! 😉
How did you get the project mu bbk? Can't find ones for the is300.
I got them second hand, but you might want to try sites like rhdjapan, nengun or search a usa project mu retailer. Use altezza when searching
Where'd you get those front fenders? o.0
They are a brand called Stage 21
What front bumper do you have ?
Oem Trd neo 2
only thing i didnt like on that car was the steering wheel and driver seat....otherwise nice build
No expenses spared??? No Hypertune? Stock mains????
Nice vlog , enjoyed the content hope we can support each other
