- After being up on the jacks for a few months, I was finally able to get the turbo IS300 back on the ground and on the road for a quick test drive with the new setup! The new Wilwood brakes feel great and the 3.5" exhaust system sounds AMAZING!
Everything went very well (aside from getting caught in the rain) and now I'm even more excited to get the car on the dyno again!
Thanks for watching!

One of the cleanest 1st gen I’ve seen
i know Im randomly asking but does anyone know a method to get back into an Instagram account..?
I was stupid forgot my password. I appreciate any tips you can give me.
@Kash Jaxon Instablaster :)
@Solomon Bowie I really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and I'm trying it out now.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Solomon Bowie It worked and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much you really help me out !
@Kash Jaxon Glad I could help :)
I love the sound it makes when under braking 😍
Love the way u try drive outta the rain 🌧
can't wait to see you have 500,000 subscribers. great content
Says he hasn’t driven the car in the rain in 5years, its rain, he floors it😎🏎🔥
Had to try and get home before the roads were soaked!
two jay oh true
@@twojay you don't have ultra high performance all season tires
Gorgeous ride man! Great to see someone else out there rocking a mean Boosted Lexi!
Thanks! They are great cars!
The rain!! Haha car sounds and looks pretty good man 👌🏻 glad your brakes work 😂
Freaking rain. 😓 Haha, thanks dude!
Awesome build my guy
Bro love your is300 and that trembling check you rackand pinion bushing on the subframe .
The caster arm bushings were pretty shot so I replaced all of the front-end bushings with polyurethane and that seemed to take care of the excessive vibration/feedback. Thanks!
Bro that rain edit had me dying 😂👌
Keep up the good work man!
Nice vid! Loving the new setup. lil rain never hurt anything aha
Car runs and drives amazing!!! 😃
I just love the spooli boi sounds
Nice clean build.
Awesome!! I was so excited to watch this when it popped up! 😆
Fantastic! Unleash the Beast within, hopefully I'll be doing the same thing SOON. So many small details to work out. But in the end we know it's done correctly by our own hands. 🙌🙌🙌🙏🙏🏁🏁🏁😄.
I have nobody to blame but myself when something goes wrong! 😉
@@twojay That's my attitude too. It's liberating!
Damn...thats one clean build!!!
Hey thanks!
I love this!
Nice build! Hopefully one day I will get to build my is300
If the steering wheel shimmy was braking straight then I would check your front lower control arm #2 bushing. If the shimmy is felt while turning then more likely a ball joint. Either way with all that power and now braking you will need to upgrade to get more of the power down.
Yeah it mainly happens when braking straight at higher speeds. I picked up a bunch of polyurethane replacement bushings from Figs so I'm hoping that will take care of the issue. Based on a quick visual inspection, the stock caster arm bushings look pretty worn/soft and I'm sure the lower control arm bushings are in similar shape like you mentioned. Thanks for the input!
@@twojay it's common shit all the sc300 guys replace there tie rods and upper and lower arms a and etc.
Jay sometimes it's just the rotors
@@senton0007 True. Had a shake in my 04 that turned out to be a warped rotor and sticky piston.
You get yours out from hibernation and I put mine in lol. Looking and sounding mean my friend! Happy wayyyy late fathers day too, but thats a damn awesome present
Thanks man, much appreciated! Even when mine is "running" it usually sits in the garage for 4-6 weeks at a time. 😂
@@twojay im about to b there with this next round of mods. Cams, cage, n the rest of my jdm body panels. Unfortunately Va isnt the friendliest for inspection once u put a cage in your car and the CEL doesnt turn off
Haha, now I'm picturing Kali bringing a tow strap and the Odyssey to bail you out. Car looks and sounds good. Next time challenge the good Samaritan in the Prius to a race after he offers to help.
I thought about offering him a ride but figured that might be more of a punishment than a reward for some people, haha!
Immaculate IS300. Love the car in every way. I just got some NRG budget seats for my 05' and was reading up on the harness installation for the seats and just noticed one of the big danger situations with the harness is having the belt at an angle through the seat lower than shoulder height. I mention this because it looks like that may be the way yours is. The info I was reading was saying in a collision having that belt pull down on your shoulder will compress your spine and blow your back to shit. You obviously know what you are doing with everything I just FYI in case of an oversight about it. Stay safe bud
Thanks for the kind words and for your concern on the harnesses!
Great video as always, two jay. I really enjoy the quality of your work and your down to earth/humble presentation. A few points and questions:
Haven't tried it myself, but my understanding is that removal of the low fuel light bulb will restore functionality of the fuel gage. The OEM ecu controls the fuel gage using a predictive strategy that includes the MAF - and when that is removed, the gage will hang up, and move in huge steps. A fellow on the forums that did an LS swap discovered that removing the low fuel light solved this. Might be worth a try for you?
The VP gas jug: I have two of these and the screw down cap leaks on both. You're a perfectionist, so I wonder if yours leaked and what you did to solve it?
Your Corbeau seats: I'm curious what model they are and if your happy with them? I've been shopping for new seats. Hard to choose because there's soo many different brands and models. A lot of the ones I've seen in person are not impressive in terms of quality.
Welcome back and thanks for the kind words! That's the first time I'm hearing about the low fuel light bulb. I have a hard time believing that it will actually fix the fuel gauge but it's probably worth trying next time I have the cluster apart. I guess I have stranger solutions to problems like that. That being said, the fuel gauge doesn't really bother me all that much, I usually just throw in another 5 gallons when the gauge is around the half way mark.
As far as the VP jug goes, are you talking about the little black breather cap? I haven't really had any issues with the jug but I basically just use it to transfer fuel from the 5 gallon pail to the car and don't usually leave any fuel stored in the jug.
The seats are the Corbeau A4 in black suede. I wish I could say that the build quality is great but I'm a bit of a perfectionist and was not all that impressed with them. Unfortunately I think that's pretty common with aftermarket seat manufacturers and it's hard to compare these with something like an OEM seat where the fit and finish is generally much better.
@@twojay Regarding the VP jugs, it's the main cap I'm talking about, not the breather. It's a common complaint with them. Obviously yours doesn't leak - congrats! And on the seats - your response is about what I expected. I think I'm leaning towards some ISF or RCF seats, which will be heavier, but way nicer than aftermarket.
@@GroovesAndLands Ah, yeah I haven't had any issues with the main cap leaking on the VP jug. ISF or RCF seats would be very nice (assuming they wouldn't be a nightmare to fit).
you inspired me to save up for a turbo for my IS 😩
God that car sounds amazing ❤️ I love the ssSSSSSSSSSS 🤑
What is the name of the rims and size of rims you have on and also what tyre sizes are you running? That is the cleanest is300 I have seen so far bro...keep it up man.
hi buddy ! Do you want to pull on the dyno without knowing whats wrong with zylinder 6 ? and by the way it would be better to let it run a little bit longer after you drive with it best regards
I really should do a warm compression test and leak-down test to see if I can some more information on the issue but for now I'm just going to keep driving it normally for now (even on the dyno). Just cruising around (out of boost) for a few minutes is plenty of "cool down" time in my opinion. The EFR series turbochargers utilize engine coolant to help cool the bearing housing as well. Thanks!
Very nice:) Brand new:)
125k! That's not bad for an IS300! Get Figs Engineering for bushings. I hear they're the best quality, I'm actually about to buy myself some online soon. And they're blue... perfect for you! Lol
Already on it! I just ordered a bunch of the Figs polyurethane stuff for the front-end. Hopefully it will help eliminate the vibration I am experiencing.
@@twojay Sweet!! Make a video of that! I'd love to see how that looks.
@@twojay I did full Figs poly on my car. I believe it was the FUCA bushings that were a giant PITA to get in. Figs has a video demonstrating installation using a fancy pants "master ball joint kit", which I don't have - so I machined up some custom "busing funnels". Hit me up if you'd like to borrow or see pics.
@@GroovesAndLands Thanks for the info! I actually ordered the complete upper control arms from Figs that come with the poly bushings pre-installed. I'm sure the caster arm bushings and lower lateral arm bushings are going to be a huge pain though... =\
@@twojay The FUCA bushings were definitely the hardest - they are a one-piece, double-flange affair and want to squish/squirm when you press them in. I had to make a funnel for one of the lateral arm bushings, too. The Caster arm isn't too bad, just needed to press old one out and new one in. Nothing crazy.
Love this build just started following 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 is this a ge build? What intake manifold are you using?
Thanks! Yes, it's a GE build. Some of the build details are in the video description. It is a custom intake manifold that I built with parts from RMR and the stock lower manifold section.
*I literally saw a video, pretty sure it was new-ish, some kid had a really nice BMW and he put gold wheels and when we test drove it, WHEEL CAME OFF LOL!!!*
Yeah I'm trying to avoid that kind of stuff as much as possible! =D
wow...amazing engine!!
its normal to see 1-2psi pressure drop. I hit and hold 5psi on a 7psi spring
Their is a hump in the fuel tank, shift your fuel sending unit as far to the right as you can I know yours is modified. May fix.
My gawwd that red and black looks so goood 😭😭😭. What color red is that?
The feedback from the brakes could be a control arm. I have the same problem too. Not yet fixed but mechanic says thats the problem..
Thanks for the input! I ordered a bunch of polyurethane replacement bushings for the front end so I am hoping that will take care of it!
@@twojay cool no worries. Your car build does look pretty nice!
I love ur videos man an old sub watch you
what kind of clutch are you using? It looks so aggressive.
Haha, it just needs a driver mod. It's an RPS twin carbon. The clutch pedal is very light (which is nice) but it can definitely be a little touchy. I have abused this clutch for several years and have yet to experience any major issues with it. Would definitely recommend it!
Which Wilwood brakes did you go with and do you think they will fit 17" wheels? If you have a Part # that would be amazing! Sweet car btw!
The kit is from Arizona Performance and the calipers are the Wilwood 4-piston FLSI. I don't have a specific part number and I don't know if they would fit with 17" wheels, sorry.
@@twojay its all good homie thnx for the info...i wanna stay with my RPF 17's in the front but want an upgrade because push 800whp thru a TH400 on stock brakes is getting sketchy in the 1/4 at over 145mph 🤣😂🤣😂
@@twojay almost ended in the Sand pit a month ago i couldnt stop lol
@@MurdaRacing For sure. From the looks of it, it seems like these brakes should clear a 17" wheel but it will also depend on the width/offset. I feel you on the stock brakes not being reliable at high speeds. This Wilwood setup is also lighter than the stock brakes so it shaves a bit of weight as well.
@@twojay Yoo got lucky and found so AP Big brakes that will Clear my wheels so im gonna snag those up! Keep up the great content my dude thnx for the help!
Where did you get the innercooler monts are those custom ? Very nice car btw you inspired me to fix up mine
Thanks! Yes, I made them.
How much of an increase have you seen going from a 9180 to the 9280? I'm looking at my options. Currently, I'm running a 9174 in my rb30 swapped R33 GTR Vspec. I am running into the issue that the motor is spooling up the turbo to fast and not leaving me any room at high RPMs. My tuner is really pushing me towards a precision 7675, but I am a fan of the EFR series. I feel they are more durable and spool faster. Could you share your experience with the 9280?
I'm not sure of the exact power increase from the turbo change alone because I changed a couple other things at the same time and I also used a completely different dyno than I had used for the 9180. That being said, I would assume the larger compressor wheel alone is good for an extra 50-80 WHP on similar boost numbers. I don't have any experience with the 9174 but the larger turbine wheel should also pick up some good power obviously at the expense of response. Spool is very similar between the 9180 and 9280 with the 9280 being about 200-250 RPM slower in terms of response (not even noticeable in my opinion). I have always been impressed with the response of the EFR series, but Precision definitely makes some great stuff as well. I see 30 PSI by 5000 RPM with the 9280 and it holds boost to redline much better than the 9180 did (probably due to the much broader compressor map). This is actually the 4th EFR unit I have had on the car (7064, 8374, 9180, 9280) and I have loved all of them.
Nice smooth ride even with all that power i know its very smooth already but did you any major suspension upgrades ?or upraded mounts ?
Most of the bushings in the rear have been upgraded to polyurethane along with solid subframe collars. That and a set of BC coilovers is pretty much it as far as the suspension/chassis goes.
@@twojay subframe collars ? For the back ?
@@rahulpersaud3379 Yes, for the rear subframe. It makes the subframe mounting much more rigid.
@@twojay o ok never herd about those thanks for the info
What are you using to paint your plastic engine cover and intercooler? the black texture looks really clean.
I'm actually in the process of buying an is300. What's your wheel setup? The fitment is mint👌🏾
how much did you pay for that mini lift and how much weight does it hold?
I think I paid around $1200 several years ago, but I'm not sure if the pricing has changed since then. It's the BL-5000 which means it should be able to lift up to 5000 lbs.
Just saw it this weekend at my Costco - $950
@@GroovesAndLands Nice! That's a great deal!
GroovesAndLands
Oh damn! Going to have to hop on that thanks!
17:57 just look at those arms.
Just how did you fit 3.5 exhaust under it lol. My 3” is a pain
Is that the stock jz motor in the car or swapped
It's a built GE (check the video description for more details).
What tuning software do you use and do you of any software that can tune the stock ecu on the is300
The car has an AEM Series 2. I'm not aware of any tuning solutions for the factory IS300 ECU.
two jay damn, I’ve heard of many people tuning the factory ecu but I can’t find any info on the internet.
Love the car bro. Simple Cleeeeean🤩. My is300 needs work but it’ll be amazing eventually
@@tagallstar1801 There is no legit software for recalibrating the OEM ecu. The one thing I have found that *may* be possible is called bitedit, but it's Russian and didn't pass my sniff test. Lots of folks turbo IS300s and keep the original ecu, but in those setups, the toyota ecu is not controlling fuel and spark, it is there to control peripheral functions like: immobilizer, speedo, tach, fuel gage, VVTi, etc
GroovesAndLands thanks bro hmmmm interesting
What should I do first to a stock automatic is300
They got forms and is300 Facebook pages also do your research like I did when I first got my Lexus sc300
Is this the original motor GE that’s actually built not swap with a GTE motor?
Correct. Built GE.
Are you still using the stock ecu or a standalone ecu? Also fantastic build, I hope to get that clean of a setup!😍
Thanks! I utilize an AEM Series 2 in conjunction with the factory ECM (to retain functionality of the factory gauges).
@@twojay also btw where did you relocate the ecu? I know with the front facing intake manifold, the ecu box gets in the way. I've been wondering for future reference, thanks again!
@@axbryant16 Mine is currently located inside the cabin at the front of the passenger side footwell. I have a full custom harness from Tweak'd Performance.
what size wheels & tires are you running?
The wheels are Work CR Kai 18x8.5 +38 (front) 18x9.5 +38 (rear) and tires are BFG Sport Comp 2 235/40/18 (front) 255/35/18 (rear).
@@twojay I am just seeing this bro. Did you do any modification all to make this wheel setup work?
@@orangetangotv I have had a few different sets of wheels on the car. All fenders have been rolled and slightly pulled.
@@twojay thank you very much bro
Love the video, love the car, but for the love of everything holy you need to wear your seatbelt! I was watching when you pushed your harnesses aside and then hoped you'd grab your belt...but it never happened! Stay safe brother!
Hey Steve, I appreciate your concern! This was the first time I had the car out in several months so I knew I was going to be getting out of the vehicle several times in a relatively short period of time and didn't want to deal with strapping in every time. Thanks!
💙💪💙
Hey #twojay I was wondering what valve covers/engine cover you using? Custom?
GTE valve covers, modified factory GTE upper timing cover, Induction Performance IGN-1A coil kit
@@twojay Thanks man.
Your setup is so meticulously put together. Aesthetic and utilitarian in harmony.
@@michaelr.johnson6175 Thank you!
Would be nice when you get featured by ThatRacingChannel.
Uhm? Where is the other IS300? You better not tell me that you sold it for that minivan 😡
No way! I still daily drive the 2004, it was just parked on the road so that I could get the other one out.
What octaine do u use?
VP C85
What Kinda Exhaust You Have ?
Full custom 3.5" stainless turbo-back.
Spend a few hundred dollars on a harness and harness bar, and then don’t use it?! Extremely clean build though! #newsubscriber
I didn't want to deal with the harness when I knew I was going to be getting in and out of the car several times. Watch my other videos and you'll see that I usually strap in. Thanks though!
dope ass tattoo on your arm there
are my eyes seeing shit....did anyone else notice that 0:53 of the video....pay attention to the passenger side intercooler end tank, it starts out silver then gradually turns black....no one was there painting Am i tripping?!.
It's just the sun.
Lets put "fuel in this thing" 5 gallons of aviation fuel😁😁.
I love the car color....what color exact is it
Intensa Blue Pearl, factory color.
