I’ve been getting a lot of questions, just so you guys know, everything is stock minus the exhaust and turbo setup. Stock fuel system, stock internals, and stock ECU. I do have a GReddy Ultimate, and a boomslang plug and play harness, just not installed. JUST SO YOU GUYS KNOW, THIS IS A VERY MILD STAGE 1 SETUP. You will not make 300+whp on this setup as is, safely and reliably. Again this is a MILD STAGE 1 SETUP.
@@dt1productions918 thanks! It was my first time boosting too! Best advice I can give is to not be afraid, make sure you got another ride, and be prepared to spend money as you tweak your setup. My Lex has been down a few times, but that’s all things I’ll discuss in my follow video, currently shooting scenes still.
Sold my gs a while ago. I plan to import an aristo in a couple years. This here is a good start. If u can do a fuel upgrade and a tune next i think ull be really happy with the results. This is a great car to have and build on. One of my all time favorites.
that was wrong place to tap into the pan you need to drill into the aluminum upper pan you need to be above the oil level otherwise the oil drain can back up and blow out the oil seal in your turbo
I got it running into a scavenging pump. I do plan on tapping into the upper oil pan. Initially this was my first time and I was scared of drilling into my oil pan, but I’ve done it a couple times now 😂 appreciate the info tho
How many miles was on the gs300 when boosting it?? I have a 232k gs300 and idk if I should boost it. I know the motor is health but that’s a lot of miles
@@DhatLex Damn! I have 3 gs300's 04 124k, '00 ( #10 built ) 170k, and '02 with 175k. Thinking of playing with the 02 since it's the one I don't really care about lol.

you should check Power Dynamix, they (back early 2000's) are the ones that made their money on making big power out of the gs platform. They use to sell trans upgraded sprockets for the trans to make some good power on. You've got a sick build.
@@alvinheu I haven’t noticed any issues, and as far as O2 sensors you’re gonna wanna run them but use a O2 spacer on the monitor sensors. That would help with keeping the cel light off
@@raullorenzdalope5098 just do the fuel return mod and don’t exceed 6PSI, you start to breakup at 6.8+ psi. Also make sure your B1S1 and B2S1 O2 sensors are installed on the runners and not the downpipe. You run your wideband and down stream sensors on the downpipe & mid pipe. So B1S2 would be on the down pipe with B2S2 on the mid pipe, also you have to run the downstream sensors in a j O2 spacer, preferably one with a built in mini cat.
Hey brother, quick question, I noticed you had the oil pan tapped with a fitting welded, so you never tapped the actual oil sump? Have you had any problems with that? I planned on doing the same for my IS, but my other turbo friends said that wouldn’t work.
I have a 2001 gs300. I'm looking for the same thing a mild turbo kit . Here In Texas gets crazy hot so want my engine cool . Where can I find this turbo kit? Thanks bro and car looks awesome. 👍👊💪
Thanks bro 💯 I pieced everything together, and I had a shop fabricate my intercooler piping. This is a one off setup. You’re going to have to piece your own setup, or buy a kit. If you google GS300 turbo kit, they should pop up. Or you can look up 2JZGE Turbo Kit, but you might have to tweak it to get it to fit and work properly on your platform since it’d be a general 2JZGE Turbo kit. Hope this helped and good luck!!!
Idk, I raced a WRX and beat it. I raced a V6 accord and beat it. I also raced a V8 Cherokee and won. I did think it made 250-265whp but I really don’t know. Hella factors come into play. Hopefully I can free up some extra funds to get some proper dyno runs, and tune in.
Honesty the install for me was easy, the R&D is what was hard, and costly. For you with the SC300, I believe they only came non Vvti if I’m not mistaken. The only thing I can think of is the distributor cap getting in the way, but I believe you can work around it, or do a distributor delete. I haven’t done this in a SC300 so I can’t really say much on that platform.
I am aware that in this video you are on stock fueling systems. May I ask if you are running an afr guage? If so what kind of ratios are you running? Idle, mid throttle/low boost, and WOT/full boost. I’m currently troubleshooting my build which is very similar so any feedback is awesome and very appreciated. I love your build and will continue to support
@@motoengineer8671 I have a Greddy piggyback and a boomslang harness, just never installed it yet. I want to do my fuel upgrades first then get the tune, that’s why I’m running a 4PSI WG spring. It’s enough for you to notice but it’s not too much for the stock ecu to handle with a RFPR. Honestly before you run it on the street do the fuel line return mod and upgrade the fuel pressure regulator. Our stock fuel pressure regulator can’t really do much once you go pass 0PSI, it’s not designed to see boost.
Mikey Martins I’m sorry bro. I gotta Rev9 turbo. A PowerGo MotorSports schedule 40 2JZGE manifold. XS power down and mid pipe, custom intercooler setup, GReddy FV limited Version BOV, XS power 50mm wastegate, no intake but I do have an autozone spectre air filter, and a GReddy Revolution catback (already had that) as far as the internals, and fuel all that is stock.

careful with the piston rods . I know youre only making like 300whp but still. Just got a 2001 with 89k miles in mint condition, leather still smells new
@@bluesky-ud9wg So lower the compression and should be mint? I’m trying to save up and boost mine cuz it’s pretty down on power and I want it to be a bit of a sleeper just so it has some kinda purpose cuz atm it’s not really good at anything but I don’t wanna get rid of it cuz I think it’s kinda cool having something with a 2jz at 22 years old lol
Including my GReddy EBC, & Innovate Wideband, about $2-2500 and that’s on the low side. I also brought my stuff before the recent inflation, some items I had before Covid.
This is exactly what I needed to see. Do you have a wideband hooked up? I picked up a kit for my is300 and was looking into a return setup but if your gs runs in the safe range with the factory fuel regulator I may skip that step for now. Not looking for a ton of boost just want to get the kit installed so its not collecting dust. I like the 4psi spring idea. I've never had a boosted car just been watching a pile of videos to see what im getting into
I’d run the fuel return mod along with a RFPR. Better to get everything out of the way, so you don’t have to keep going back. Get a piggyback and a nice light tune so everything is good and you don’t really have to worry about anything.
Bro I have watched this video like 4x now I decided to order an XS turbo kit and run it on the stock ECU like you did with low boost, can’t believe these 4000 pound cars have 180WHP 😂 Feels like I’m about to die merging sometimes lol let’s fix that !
@@DhatLex turns out my battery terminal had buildup on it and it wasn’t making a good connection. Misfiring is solved but still trying to get afrs right other then that the car is superb.
Wastegate is 4PSI high boost is 6PSI. The ecu can adjust up to 7 psi but I cap it at 6 until I can get a tune. Then I’ll turn up. Rather be safe then sorry 😂
@@ChefNorrawitJ From what I heard and seen, they’re good for 400-450RWHP (Healthy transmission) but I don’t go by HP because torque and RPM is what destroys the A650E.
