All depends on health of the engine and how much boost is being pushed. Unopened 1G tends to top out at 280hp before going bang, but are capable of more if running a decomp plate and good tune. Besides it’s an engine from the 80s not designed for performance so comparing it to the 3SGE, an engine designed to be a performance/sporty engine is not a fair comparison

@@TheNotCletus My turbo kit was second hand and it is a homemade manifold 🙂

@@ayeleyapawwah39 thanks for watching and commenting! how can I help?

What shape do you use for the intercooler pipes that go from the turbo to the intercooler?

@@ayeleyapawwah39 a 45 degree silicone joiner that comes straight off the turbo downwards into some ally that points around the outside of the power steering pump etc, then into a 90 degree elbow to get it into the cooler. Hope that helps :)

@@MADagain All good questions, Thanks for the comment :) 1. The “conversion” is simple, put ethanol in it…… although to ensure the ethanol does not do damage to the standard fuel system components I replaced all the fuel components with ethanol compatible parts, (rubber hoses/fuel pump/injectors and regulator are all e85 compatible) and from there I tell my ecu what fuel is in the tank and it does the appropriate corrections for fuel density calculations etc 2. E85 is arguably not needed especially at its current boost level however I did it more as a longevity and future proofing move due to the fact my engine is high I’m km/miles and i knew everytime i drove it i would be always pushing it full noise and bouncing off the rev limiter the cooling properties of alcohol fuels will help keep it running cooler and last longer when “hotlapping” a track which is the entire purpose of this car, something that works everytime and I never have to worry about watching temps just drive drive drive 3. E85 due to its high octane rating and fantastic cooling properties also gives me a larger tuning window for when i inevitably turn up the boost to which ethanol in my opinion will become necessary for engine safety (future-proofing) Hope this was helpful thanks for watching, appreciate the support :)

@@Racelab_life Thanks a lot for the run down. I have a mate with an is200 and eventually we will be looking at throwing a turbo at it to see what happens so any help or just alternative ways about doing it is good to see. I've seen countless people say it's not worth it on these motors but their just slow and unresponsive stock anyway. So any improvement just for responsiveness I think is a good move as long as his engine is healthy enough for it. Which we will find out ahead of time. It's all about the enjoyment at the end of it. Rather than completely engine swapping it of course. I do have one last question related to ecu stuff, I've seen a few people run the stock ecu but never clarify if that's all they used. Is it possible to use the stock ecu in this instance or does it require some form of aftermarket ecu... Obviously if it could run a stock ecu the lack of tuning would hurt it but if we're able to limit boost should it work?

@@MADagain No problem, it’s obviously a lot larger of a gain just by going jz or another easier to make power platform but this was incredibly cheap for me to do vs a jz conversion so was a no brainer for me, the biggest thing to make them last is a good tune, highly recommend using a known reputable tuner that knows what they’re doing and understands these aren’t the strongest in stock form. As far as ecu goes there are companies out there that sell “packages” that give you a fuel system/turbo kit/intercooler/ dump pipe/fuel cut defender etc and claim that it’s safe to run their setup on 7 or 14 psi depending on which package you go but…… based off the fact the stock ecu is NOT tuneable at all I would personally advise against this and run a piggyback setup like in my video or wire in a standalone to gain full control of all engine functions, this is in my opinion much safer and better, although I have no experience with the types of kits mentioned above so cannot necessarily speak poorly of them, I’m sure they work great but a standalone ecu is always better in this case…

@@Racelab_life yeah I think for us the goal is just to get it running with a controlled amount of boost say 3-5 psi then once that's sorted find a "cheap" after market ecu to use as a light back but I've never done anything like that so just wanted to get your opinion based on the fact you sound like you know a bit about these cars. Any chance you could do a video about how you have yours set up and what it allows to to control?

@@Racelab_life we'll have to do a lot of tests and check if the motor is even suitable for boost first though as the motor is completely unknown to us. If it's clean under the rocker cover and sump is clean it may be good enough but starting out with a low amount of boost just to see how the engine behaves I think is the start but we ain't even close to trying it yet just getting some options for us. I'm currently rebuilding a Subaru EZ30 and will eventually boost that motor but that's an entirely different can of worms haha

@@Dfwun thank you

@@dedelabinouze5110 no I have already modified my throttle body and removed the electric motor so there’s no delay 🙂

@@194Easy s14 T28

@@Racelab_life it was gt2860 as far as I remember, am I right?

@@194Easy Stock s14 t28’s are allegedly gt2560 (journal bearing) and gt2860 (ball bearing) , there is also the gt2860rs (famously known as “disco potato”) I’m not well versed in the details and exact differences between the t28’s and unfortunately don’t know which exact version I have but it will be either the gt2560 or the gt2860 off of a stock s14 🙂

@@Racelab_life okay ;) I’ve got on the shelf brand new 2860rs and planning to put it into is200, that’s why I was curious about it

@@HIT3291 most definitely, I like to describe it as Toyotas rb20

@@kingnorlen honestly have no clue about the history or anything so would have to take your word for it, I have 1 artis and one zeta in this style, cheers for any info and thanks for watching….. much appreciated 🙂

@@twixu8811 Technically it does….. at the flywheel but not at the wheels…… most power figures listed by the OEM’s are flywheel hp/tq figures measured using an engine dyno. Every engine looses power through the drivetrain due to the effort it takes to rotate all the mechanical parts through to the wheels (gears, tail shaft, diff, axles, hubs) The dyno in this video measures power at the hubs and is a more “ realistic “ power figure as it’s what’s actually being made at the hubs/wheels…… Thanks for the comment 🙂 (A rough rule of thumb is a 15-20% loss through the drivetrain which puts the factory power output around 125-135hp at the wheels…. which I am just shy of at 118hp on a hot day)

@@ЖибекАбдукаримова-н4я it is specific to the engine/gearbox…. Any auto parts store should be able to get you one this one is from exedy, but many other brands do single mass flywheels for the 1g

I’ll have to have a look back at the dyno sheet to confirm I think it’s around 240nm at the rear hubs and stock is 176nm at the flywheel

@@hawkeye8312 Thanks for commenting! I have heard great things about the black arts knuckles, I ordered a lock kit before this event (serial9) however there were severe shipping delays so unfortunately didn’t get to me in time for the event. The car now has a serial 9 lock kit, new video and drift day with the lock kit coming soon 🙂

@@scootz3602 should be able to get it through any auto parts store, the clutch used in the video is an exedy heavy duty, however I have since upgraded to a 6 puck button by xtreme, I’ll find the links for you

@@rcon777 thank you!!!!!

@@inzMBL Thanks for the comment! :) The 1gfe engine does make 158hp however typically manufacturers list “flywheel horsepower” not power to the wheels and doesn’t account for drivetrain loss (a loss of approximately 15-20% as a rough general rule of thumb) which puts it right around the 125-135hp at the wheels, which I am just shy of at 118hp on a very warm day, this dyno measures horsepower at the hubs not the flywheel :)

@@Apache9098 Thanks for the comment, Appreciate it! According to Wikipedia the 1gfe engine makes 158hp however this measurement is “flywheel horsepower” and doesn’t account for drivetrain loss (a loss of approximately 15-20% as a rough general rule of thumb) which puts it right around the 125-135hp at the wheels, which I am just shy of at 118hp on a very warm day, this dyno measures horsepower at the hubs not the flywheel :)

@@rickyacco3328 the turbo kit on this is custom made and I bought it second hand from a friend, all links available for parts used in this video are in the description :) but if you’re looking for bolt on kits the “rank one performance” kit seems to be very popular

@Racelab_video fantastic mate Thank you for your feedback. Apologies for so many typos in the original comment - may have been drunk.

@@xxSunShine Yes, however when manufacturers list the power output it’s typically “flywheel hp” where there is no loss in power through the drivetrain, the dyno in this video measures power output at the hubs. Typically the rough rule of thumb is you experience approximately 15-20% drivetrain loss which puts the Lexus right around that 120-130hp at the wheels mark and I was just shy of that at 112-118 on a hot day
