Hey, I know the guy who made the gauge pods; just mailed those out early this week.
I actually just picked them up today. I will be sure to get them installed! If you guys need anything 3d printed this is your guy! ⬆️
@@Knownworldwide heck yeah! I’m anxious to see how the pod works for you! It’s hard to design those things from across the country 🤷🏻♂️
@@LoganDidItYT true, that’s why I’m the test mule.
Do you think it’s reliable boosting these cars at 300,000 miles if well maintained
@knownworldwide
Sick setup man. You explained it really well. Can’t wait to boost mine
Thanks bro! Appreciate you taking your time to check out the video. Hope you decide to stick around. Got another video dropping this week for sure.
You make it look ez great motivation i feel confident enough to try
Only thing left is to do it! Be confident in yourself, take your time and you can also do it! Appreciate you taking the time to watch the videos! Hope you decide to stick around.
this is a cool video man with a lot of good information packed into a short time.
i am trying to get a lexus sportcross atm, and would love to only spend about $3500 on the turbo parts and management, I understand it will take some patience. i have to save some money left over though for the manual swap down the road.
Yeah manual swaps are insanely over these days! I will say that 3500-4000 is the ABSOLUTE bottom line to boost these cars so expect to be closer to $5k as prices tend to rise slowly. Good luck and thanks for watching the video! Hope you decide to stick around for the long run!
Great motivational vid. Thanks for the push.👍
Get after it!
Thanks for watching.
@@Knownworldwide 👊
Earned ya self a sub dude. This series definitely gave me a reality check on wanting to boost my W58 Swapped Is300 haha. Insane work though!
Hey thanks for taking your time to watch the videos bro! I am wanting to manual swap this car too but everyone wants a million dollars for these hella old gearboxes!
Yeah boosting these cars (or any car for that matter) is quite a bit of work and money. I am definitely at the very bottom end of how much to spend. Realistically I would budget at least $5k-$6K
@@Knownworldwide Yeah man I would transmissions are a little hard to source right now luckily in texas they're avaliable time to time, I would consider going R154 brand new from drift motion for your current setup if you you do follow through with it, I know the A650E holds up pretty well low boost, getting a brand new R154 for around 3.1-3.2k is honestly a crazy deal, if you're on a tight budget I would try sourcing a W58 Mk3 SUpra those can handle around 300-350 whp safely.
@@wannabegamer919 yeah I am leaning towards a AR5 or a r154.
@@Knownworldwide Would love to see a in depth video series of either on your channel, looking foward to it if you do end up going through with the purchase!
@@wannabegamer919 oh I definitely will document the process as best as I can. I think next on my list is bigger injectors and a boost controller so I can turn it up!
im so in love this in definitely my dream car
Well, go out and get one! Appreciate you watching the video. Hope you decide to stick around.
Hopefully people see this and it sinks in that $3500-4000 is an ENTRY level pricetag for turbocharging these cars. Nicely done video!
I’m hoping so. I don’t think I would go any less than this even if it was possible. Thanks for watching.
You could do it for about 5k with a 1j a ton lot safer
@@jacklack18181j swap for 5k?
@@interlocs yes it’s not impossible
$3500 to 4000 entry is overstated....more like $4500 to $5000. Most get hosed with the aftermarket ECU when they want to turn it up.
Would a borg warner s366 work with this manifold? Btw great content bro!
Hey! Thanks for watching the video! Hope you decide to stick around for the long run.
The Borg comes in many different flavors. You would need to make sure you have a 3” v band exhaust housing and a compressor housing with a 2.5” outlet.
I haven’t personally test fit one but if I recall, those Borgs tend to have thick compressor housings so you may need to trim a couple of the turbo manifold studs (studs in the cylinder head) to clear the compressor housing.
Is the catch can configuration basically the evap system you've configured? Did you rip out the OEM catch can under the intake?
Not sure I follow what you’re talking about. The EVAP system is definitely completely different than a PCV system.
My EVAP system is still intact. My catch can is tucked over near the brake master cylinder. If you check out the channel, I made a video on my catch can setup.
Thanks for taking the time to watch the video!
The video is legit,mat. We would like if you are open to doing a product review that related to Auto led lighting? We have been looking for opportunities to showcase our products. Can we send a pair of LEDs for doing a review?
Do you guys make interior LED bulbs?
@@Knownworldwide yes, are you plan to install the light on your IS300? We could send the compatible bulbs according to your vehicle.
What spring are running in the wastegate I got the same one lol.
I’m running the 5.5psi spring I think it is the bigger red one. Could be 5.1psi.
I have a stock exhaust though so it opens well before even hitting 5psi. If I get into the top of 3rd it will hit about 4.5psi. If you have an aftermarket exhaust it should maintain 5psi pretty well.
Can this pass CA SMOG? I’m thinking boosting mine 2001 IS300. I recently have the original 2JZ-GE engine replaced with a 40k miles Japanese import 2JZ-GE.
You won’t be able to pass the visual smog test unfortunately. Hey thanks for watching the video! If you have any other questions, just ask. Hope you decide to stick around.
Im running a similar setup right now about to do an r154 swap the dual ball bearing cx turbo has lasted me a while though
Awesome! Wish I could say the same for my CX turbo. It failed after about 180 miles of driving. How long has your kit been on your car?
@@Knownworldwide for about 5 months of on and off driving I’m running 5 psi stock Ecu stock internals so knock on wood it lasts a little longer before I get a name brand turbo
@@washingtonsupply3967 haha, fuel return? Bigger injectors?
@@Knownworldwide only mod fuel wise I did was a warlbro 255 lph pump
@@washingtonsupply3967 you getting good AFRs?
How is the new speedway turbo so far?
Working great! No more smoking or oil leaks at all. The CX turbo just isn’t designed well enough to get the oil drain oriented correctly. It also just flat out failed on me so 🤷🏽♂️
Was your cx racing turbo the the journal bearing or dual ball bearing one?
It was the journal bearing turbo that comes with the basic kit. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the informative videos
@@morganthomas9404 Of course! Feel free to stick around and see what’s next.
Another question. Why didn't you use an electric boost controller?
@@morganthomas9404 haven’t gotten that far yet. I will install one later on. A manual boost controller can be used if someone was after a more budget approach as well. Just FYI
Did u do oil drain?
Yes I did. I believe I covered it a few videos back. I also talked about it when installing my new turbo just last video. If you want to check it out feel free. Also thanks for taking the time to watch.
Manual swap next 💯
Don’t tempt me.
I have a question, so with that exhaust manifold & the amount of space there do you think that a 6766 will fit ?
Should fit. I wouldn’t recommend getting a very big back housing though as that might mess with the Downpipe fitment.
@@Knownworldwide yea , I was really worried about the clearance there by the manifold & the shock tower
Well what turbo is it you’re getting? As a large compressor housing can cause problems with trying to fit the 90 degree coupler off the outlet as well as come into contact with the exhaust manifold stud that is right in front of it (middle of the head studs)
Are your shooting for a certain power number?
@@Knownworldwide i really want to avoid going with a front facing intake manifold, i really should for the simple fact that i have the motor out the car right now getting built , but i just want to keep of simple with the cx racing kit
What power are you after?
Stock is300 has 217hp bro. I like your set up. I need to upgrade and I want to get at least 100hp more with stuck auto trams.
A stock auto IS300 makes around 168-170wheel. If you are making around 245-250ish wheel. You will be making over 315 crank.
No brother. It's 215hp and 218 torque! Auto trams. I tuned my is with rebuilded engine, intercooler independent mishimoto and ECU chip. With less weight. Pushing 290hp.
@djchris8520 217hp is crank HP. Like every other brochure in the world. I am not disputing that information. I just prefer to call it like it is with any car. I like to quote what the car actually puts down to the pavement and not what the brochure says.
No disrespect intended at all.
But I do want to do your set up! Simple and not to crazy! If I can get over 320-350hp stock auto trams! I'm happy! Did you do all these by yourself and how long did it take you?
@@djchris8520 I have done all the work myself. I am trying to schedule a dyno session but I am going to be busy for the next couple weeks so it will have to wait. Appreciate you taking the time to watch video.
Have you ever heard of a AEM FIC that’s specific to a car?
No, they are all piggy back universal setups.
@@BongoisaPyro oh that is probably an AEM EMS. This I am using is an AEM FIC (fuel/ignition controller) the other is a “engine management system” completely different product lines.
@@Knownworldwide nah bro it advertises AEM F/IC
@@BongoisaPyro link me to it let me see
@@BongoisaPyro I looked it up. Apparently that is made specifically for the S2000. If there is one for the IS300 that would be news to me. They are very old so I don’t know everything about them. I know the FIC-6 I have is universal so it will work on any 6 cylinder car.
My apologies for telling you no above bro. I know they don’t make them anymore so maybe at the time they were making them they offered vehicle specific units?
do I need the aem controller if I have a manuel
I assume you mean boost controller?
If so you can use a manual boost controller if you would like. Electronic boost control solenoids are more consistent but not absolute necessary.
Appreciate you watching the video! Hope you decide to stick around.
What turbo did you use?
Hey, first off, thanks for taking the time to watch the video! Hope you decide to stick around.
I did a video on switching turbos here:
The IS300 Gets a NEW TURBO!
th-cam.com/video/UQ7cNTp_mTo/w-d-xo.html
Basically, if you are running the CX kit, you will be restricted to utilizing the same 3” v-band exhaust housings and the same compressor outlet sizes.
@@Knownworldwide ohhh how much do you think the is300 would push hp wise if it was like around 10 psi?
@@abransanchez7176 if you are using the same size turbo I am with a proper 3” exhaust should be around
370-380 wheel with a manual
With an auto maybe around 350wheel.
Of course every dyno is going to read differently so what I say isn’t set in stone.
Should’ve done a 1j lol
way too expensive now :(
Yep. Not to mention almost no one keeps the stock turbos. They always pay to upgrade so that’s even more money.
@@Knownworldwide you would have a more reliable car
@@Knownworldwide look at ken gushi
@@jacklack1818 car is running great.
