I have been waiting for another POV drive your gs is such a beast man. I just put a supra flywheel and clutch kit into my manual is300 and I am trying to get the pedal adjusted so I can get back on the road. This video satisfies my urge to drive
4.5 is very good that’s is a over a second increase compared to stock,I love that you’ve kept the car so long motivates me to keep my gs400.Had issues with mycar starting after getting my camshaft position sensor connector wet working on it at 1am with a couple beers in me.waiting on ecm to come back Thursday hoping for the best.
Update,i broke a plastic harness retainer and it fell between the timing belt and crank pulley,didn’t bend a valve but both banks were off their mark by at least 30 degrees.Replaced timing belt and put 10k miles since
I didn’t want the airbag to deploy and blow my hand off; just my finger 😂 I’m so sick of people crossing double yellow here. That idiot actually scared me.
I love this serious. It’s always cool to see you adding new goodies to the gs. Do you have a power goal in mind? I’m guessing your making at least 350 whp right now? Be cool to see this thing have 450-550 whp someday, 1uz is a beast of an engine!
*As I vehemently stated on the comparison video of the "GS 300/400/430" I don't like the V8 over the 2JZ but i have to admit this is pretty smooth, with some kick! That drone is annoying though*
The Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera drifting over the center line at 04:01 was probably distracted and filming their own road test video for YT after installing a 2JZ swap.
Or it was another meth head trying to find the syringe that just fell out of their leg under the seat amongst the piles of repair bills from Herb’s Car Repair & BBQ.
I just got a 1999 LS400 and I know its not the exact same process as what you've done with your GS, but it should be similar to get the results you did. I want to do a manual swap and Supercharge it without having to change rods or pistons. Can you explain what the system youre using to increase the intake noise is? I've never seen that before. What transmission and Supercharger should I go with in your opinion? I have seen the M90 M112 and TVS1900 mentioned in other videos. Making the car faster is great but I really like the supercharger in yours, it sounds amazing.
Hey - I have videos on just about everything you asked about. I have two-part video series on the intake amplifier. It’s basically an FM mic that broadcasts sound into your car stereo. I have since removed it because I went to a CAI that provides enough sound. I really cannot answer the SC question. The TVS is newer tech and more efficient, but can be more expensive than an M112. Same with the MT you go with. I don’t know your budget, so I cannot say. I like the AR5, but if you have tons of money, a Grannas 1UZ to T56 system would be ideal. My suggestion is to check out more videos and let me know if you have specific questions after watching them.
@@ForwardMomentum thanks for the reply I'll check out the rest of your vids. I'm not looking to do any crazy high horsepower numbers I just want to wake the car up and make it fun with the manual gearbox and a respectable amount of boost on stock internals. I don't think that's too tall of an order for this platform.
It’s doable for sure. You can safely add 75-100WHP with that combo. But it’s going to cost you. I’d say a budget MT and SC combo will run around $8K these days, with a good clutch being nearly $1K of that cost. You probably have to ask yourself if that’s “worth it” to you as you’ll never get that investment back. For higher end offerings, including premium everything, you could be pushing well over $10K. Frankly, at that point, I might switch to a different platform. But to each his own.
@@ForwardMomentum Unfortunately after passing $10K it would just make more sense to buy another car to me. I do love the 1UZ though. I might be able to get a little fun on a budget for this car if I can source some things from junkyards.
Yes, getting some things cheap makes sense, but only a couple things. For example, the MT adapter you’ll want billet. SC adapter, Elate. If you can find a decent junkyard MT and SC that will be about the only place you can skimp, saving you maybe $1K if you’re lucky. It really sucks because some of these other guys can load power using OTA data ports and we’re stuck doing things the hard way.
I estimate I’m at 300-310whp, or +65-75whp over typical stock whp (235 on the GS400). I just added a 3.25” pulley today, so I should be around 325-330whp here soon. Fuel consumption has remained the same, funny enough.
Can you please tell me the oart number for the radiator hose that you use. I am about to buy a supercharged gs400 and it is using the original radiator hose. I saw a video you mentioned you used a special radiator hose, please let me know what hose it is. Thanks
As mentioned in my supercharger series, I don’t have that info. My friend had it laying around and gave it to me. I tried to figure out the PN by looking at various numbers printed on the hose itself to no avail. I simply cannot figure out the PN. One thing you could do is route a flexible wire to the path you need, take it into an auto parts store, and see if they have a hose that meets your needs on the wall.
A GS300, manual and turbo would be pretty sweet. Although for a DD mine is great. Given today’s car pricing, I’d probably build a 300. I can’t stand the lack of room under the hood of this thing, but dang it’s fun as a DD…
This thing is great!! Do you have an LSD? I used to have a big V8 MT (‘08 550i M-sport) and my only regret is not spending the money on an LSD to really unleash what it was capable of.
Take the belt off and see if you can replicate the sound on the tensioner by moving it and spinning the pulley. They’re pretty cheap so maybe just get another one.
@@ForwardMomentum I think it is because it’s on and off; I found a video, this dude just lubed the inside of it and installed the same one and it started working perfectly fine again, ima try it sometime
@@FixingAndFlipping No weight reduction? I am curious how you 0-60 time is 15-20% better than brand new? This blown manual gs is barely faster than 4.9.
And his claims are faster than any magazine best, back in the 90’s. The best I ever saw a magazine get, with professional gear and driver, was 5.3 sec.

Nice man, sounds epic 👌
The casual honk with one finger😂
I didn’t want the airbag to deploy and blow my hand off; just my finger 😂 I’m so sick of people crossing double yellow here. That idiot actually scared me.
@@ForwardMomentum I feel that man I stay in Florida I worry someone will Pull out in front of my gs or rear end
God this thing is friggin cool. Wish mine was this clean

I just put a new pulley on and I’m probably at 325whp. Not bad considering these put down 235whp stock.
Sick car. Want to sell?
I guess everything has a price. My asking price would be absurd though because replacing it would be difficult.
@@ForwardMomentum True! You have put a lot of work into it. You are in Fayetteville, right? I am in Asheville. Ever make it out here?

I nice 👍
How much power do you estimate right now? How much has fuel consumption increased?
I estimate I’m at 300-310whp, or +65-75whp over typical stock whp (235 on the GS400). I just added a 3.25” pulley today, so I should be around 325-330whp here soon. Fuel consumption has remained the same, funny enough.
@@ForwardMomentumwow impressive 😮🔥
As I remember you picked up the GS300 diff? Or Aristo? I dislike my one wheel peel.
Aristo 3.7. LSD episodes coming soon.

This can only be solved by one thing, remove the limiter and get this 1uz to give you its full power like the dark side of the force.
Love the content man. If you could do it all over again would you still go supercharged 1uz? or go gte or just get an isf?

Thanks! Funny you should ask. I’m in talks now with a company for an LSD deal. Stay “tuned” and thanks for watching!
Unrelated to the video but what is the most likely cause of a belt tensioner making a clickinf noise when the car is running? I have a 98` GS400
Take the belt off and see if you can replicate the sound on the tensioner by moving it and spinning the pulley. They’re pretty cheap so maybe just get another one.
@@ForwardMomentumok thx
Do a video on timing belt and cam seals
Please send car and parts.
bro, under my dash its like electrical buzzin its under the glove compartment you know what that is?
Probably the air mix servo, a known trouble area on these cars.
@@ForwardMomentum I think it is because it’s on and off; I found a video, this dude just lubed the inside of it and installed the same one and it started working perfectly fine again, ima try it sometime
It could also be your brake booster charging up. Does it happen when you start the car up?
@@Sanghax3 it’s the air mix servo bro, ty tho now I know that’s the brake booster for the other noise
I swear. With the AC on I lose like 50 hp 😂
Very cool. I have same red gs400. Recently got ionic 5, it gets 4.9 sec to 60, uncomfortable for your neck :)
