IS200 + 2JZ-GTE + single turbo

Neat huh??

Hmm?

is that the one that was featured in jap performance and banzai, built by TDI?

No that had the HKS 2835 set up and cost over 50K because the engine didnt fit !!!! cough Bullshit cough !!!!

Dude

Blimey Chris - that looks almost factory! What that work done by yourself?

How could the engine not fit? The IS300 in the US uses the 2JZ.

Proper job! Engine nice and far back in bay, proper induction set up, decent heat shielding, they even mounted the programmabel ECU baord in the same box as the IS200 one which controls air con and dash displays. I'd be very proud of that conversion myself.

It does look like it came out of the factory that way

Apparently the Toyota lump wont even fit in a GS 300 either , cough bullshit cough

Dude

But this is in Oz, and it started off as a 2 litre 4 cylinder.... You don't think the yanks could do anything quite as tasteful as that, surely ?

Looks really neat..... bet it goes like shit of a shovel too!

Its been done, years ago. Also the 4.3V8 version

Theres a guy in PR who races with a Turbo Altezza, got vids of him somewhere beating supras

Chris that is Ray Hall's personal car, it's been floating around for about 3 years+. Reg Riemer has a gorgeuos VVTi example too which he uses in the US One Lap challenge.

They have done some really nice conversions. I rate the Ozzies and NZlanders for this sort of stuff, they seem to have the patience to do stunning work.

Ray is a great guy, very helpful, & he is the main worldwide Autronic dealer.

That's a very stealthy and neat conversion, I like it a lot.

PS

wot, no stupid cone filter? won't the engine choke to death from lack of hot air? lol...

Me 2. Be lovely if it was VVTi too

Gaz.

Reg Riemers is VVTi

Going back to the pic.. love the way the intake uses the standard airbox.. do you think hes snuck a cone filter on the end of that enclosed in the box? Very nice install if so.

Yeah, using a filter element with 3-4 times less the active surface is a good way to gain power, well if you believe the advertisers that's how it is, lol....

WE KNOW POD FILTERS ARN'T IDEAL!!!!!! FFS

Alex, your signature is a 'getaway' clause, just like mine mate.

He's in a bad mood because internet access is extremely slow and very sporadic at work

Pod filters are great if you've got heatshielding and a bit of ducting And a good reason to have them. And they aren't green mushroom ones.

Must sort out my heatshield lol And some ducting. Still, one out of three isn't bad

Ian, before ditching the HKS filter thing, I took the time to measure it's effective surface area: 1050cm2

Do you know how much the surface of the stock filter is? 5000cm2 mate.

Almost FIVE times as much.

Not even similar ball park figure, we're talking about a serious downgrade here...

Heat soak comes for free.

But hey, it sounds kewl, so that's good enough to spend money on it, it's a free market after all, each to their own.

Not all Pod filters are the same size or construction
