[SIBlofa]

Very nice.. i have a 94 lexus ls400 i plan on boosting.. can you tell me the steps you took. it would help alot.. thanks

[mrlexus033]

hello i have a 93 ls400 here in australia would you have a how to guide step by step process of what is involved in putting a turbo on hope you can help

[hachibill]

I like it.

[marineyacht]

what computer did you use for tuning? i want to do my twin turbo soon

[e57820]

@marineyacht it was a split second ftc-1 piggyback with fuel and timing maps, fairly antiquated by today’s standards and I was very unhappy with the product back when I used it 4 years ago. I recommend mega squirt.

[bonekeeper16]

how much??

[ChristewieTV]

Ultimate sleeper

[JRockz08]

I to am curious about the power output, how it's holding up, etc. is an auto? if so how will does it work?

[nicholastmhsw]

it is awesome!

[lemegacool89]

sounds MEAAAAAAAN! :) i'm the guy who bought the SS ESC! ;) nice little sleeper you have there!

[smithraymond09029]

How do you pull that off if the stock mill is a 10:1 ratio compression engine? Has this thing blown up yet?

[savagexhaley14]

how much hp/tq did it make? and what are you using for an ecu?

[bobbitt187]

great video.. sounds incredible.. did you use standard fueling and just an frp ? what about clutch? stock?

[tenfelder]

how much did the turbo and the kit cost you??

[jamaicanlovrboy]

this is a str8 sleeper, no hints to what lurks under the hood, how much power did it put down?

[FNFUPJEDI]

i have a 98 sc400 vvti that im thinking of turboing with a t61 turbo at 6psi what do you think the only thing that is stoping me is that nobody produces a turbo manifold for the engine...what did you have to do? did you custom fabricate the header into a manifold? and which side? how much do you think it would cost and hard is it to do?

[e57820]

@FNFUPJEDI I fabricated the whole system.  If you go on the club lexus website and search e57820 then you can view the fabricated component pictures. I had no luck trying to post the link in this response.

[ACwithoutDC]

@e57820 did you get a tune done? and were? great car btw

[mrlexus033]

@e57820 been on that website and i can't find a thing could u send me the steps on how you did it would help heaps thanks

[e57820]

contact me through my profile page and I will do my best

[RocaFellaBryan]

What is this thing tuned with?

[waider]

Razorfag : stfu, I can see you're American since you're speaking of drag racing and having loads of hp! FYI I don need you to know that Lexus were badges as Toyota like aristo soared and celsior in the 90's!

Anyway your 2700hp wouldn't do anything on a real race track with turns!

I love youtube people that think they have a clue when the only thing they mention is drag racing and 4 digits hp...

[civicmaneg6]

I see that 98% of the negative comments on here means they know jack shit sgain tuning a heavy car too go fast. And there are plenty of luxury cars out there with turbos are superchargers.

[maddogg855]

im running a 1uz with pair of gt25r garrets on 8.5psi stock internals........still strong as the day we built it...would recommend the head gasket change though :) up the 1uz!!!

[Zmairo]

is it auto or manual tranny?

[1989ls400]

nice thats what i want to do to mine

[slim2k8420soarer]

nice how many bhp is it and what kind of power from a 5-7 psi boost set up

[kingssuck06]

Sweet setup, but is that safe on stock internals?

[e57820]

@kingssuck06 As long as it is properly tuned 5-7psi is super safe. The internals can handle even more but replacing the stock head gaskits would be a good idea.

[arnoldt14]

@e57820 even the transmission is stock? How much power does it make?

[ThisIsClarity]

i think its a nice set up fuck with everybody thinks about it i had alot of lexus cars i just got a 94 ls last week you got me thinking of hooking it up other than selling it over bro

[achiko88]

omd who puts turbo in lexus u must be some kind of redneck

[e57820]

@achiko88 Calm down, it's not like I put a small block chevy in it.

[RlCHART]

@achiko88 who puts turbo in a lexus? wtf how old are you? do you know anything about automobiles? ah I see its just the little youtube vids you watch all day.

[achiko88]

@RlCHART whats the point? make heavy luxury car faster??? stupid... same shit if you turbo lincoln town car... redneck shit

[geta8pac]

@achiko88 you are a dick roll peasent



[100millionstunna]

@RlCHART are you an idiot you can turbo a van and race at the track do you know nething about cars .... its called vip son

[waider]

@achiko88

someone that wants true power instead of ghey v8 torque

[e57820]

@waider

You know this video is of a LS400 with a turbocharged lexus V8 right? Torque is a beautiful thing, don't hate the V8.

[waider]

@e57820

I was just saying that to the dude that told it was redneck shit! I don't hate the V8 at all.

[raceguy514]

@waider

Horse power sells cars, torgue wins races. Carrol Shelby.

[Transane]

@waider UZF motors, as in the LS400, are V8. tons of torque, and the horspower to match.

ever ride in a rx7? or any rotary powered car? they are shit off the line, but when they wind up they have nice power. you want RAW fun, then you want torque.

[SpikeRazzor]

@waider What the fuck are you talking about? If you want "true power" you go with a V8. When your Supra can't make more than 1300 and is only doing 7's in the 1/4 you rip the V8 out of this car and make 2700. lol, I love you Youtube keyboard warriors that have no clue of what you're talking about. Most of you dumbasses wouldn't even know most Lexus models are just re-badged Toyota's out in some other countries, and who turbo's a Toyota? A lot of people apparently jackass.

[ACwithoutDC]

@waider dude what are you smokin

[armasiel]

@waider fucking fail hahahahaha

[waider]

@armasiel

fucking twat hahahahaha

[armasiel]

@waider you going for a double fail? I don't even need to insult you you've shown to be retarded enough

[waider]

@armasiel

the only one that fails are people like you that can't read properly between the lines, nuff said

[miniimoto95]

@waider

twat?

 speak english you fucking pile of shit, pole smoking, british fag. or GTFO

[wzkf289hx]

whats the go with the air flow sensor in the intake of the intercoole piping does that work ?? i thought it could only go on the turbo inlet?

[e57820]

@wzkf289hx I did have a lot of problems with my AFRs so that could have been one of the reasons; honestly I don't know. If I were to do it again I would change it to the turbo inlet.

[wzkf289hx]

@e57820 so does it work?, it should be the same principle as putting it on the turbo inlet. but the air is compressed?? is the suck of the turbo parralell to the blow? from the compressor turbine?

[smashesdomain]

OMG!

[GTIjosh1]

is that a y-pipe

[sweetcougar]

How much power you put out? and where did you got the manifold or the piping for your turbo. and is it single or twin turbo? thx in advance.

[TheKAMIKAZE5150]

WOW THAT IS SICK

[irideford]

apparently they are FWD DUH! .. jesus.. watch the video!

[DexDizzy]

are those rear wheel drive

[SusanSally88]

HMMMMM IDK maybe the fact that the rear wheels are powering the car on the dyno could help you out.

[irideford]

no its fwd...

[sweetcougar]

@irideford man the lexus ls 400 is rear wheel drive, i have a one myself llol

[irideford]

@sweetcougar .. dude i was being sarcastic.

[atroposBE]

@DexDizzy its clearly fwd. look at the front wheels spinning

[rallylexusman]

[jamaicanlovrboy]

Man that's a sweet sleeper, noone would guess it has a gt35r turbine under the hood

[jakemiller5000]

This rebadged Toyota has just been converted back into a Toyota: an AE86! LMAO!

[twistymcslide]

no......wtf are you talking baout...

[jakemiller5000]

Toyota fans have ZERO sense of humor...

[Drumfreaksoda]

Haha, great sound. I have the same car

[TheVtieg6]

What was the torque figure?

[e57820]

240rwtq @ 5200rpm

[bnz500]

Fuck thats tuff bro

[sickbro91]

stock internals?

[sahooq]

did it really make a diffrence

[bmtimv]

nice setup

[BadBoyMike3]

they really r faster den wat ppl think lol,i raced 3 r 4 ppl n my 92 so far, 2 honda civics,a alero,and a galant,they didnt have a chance lmao,it gets up speacially wen u have it tuned rite,and i just ordered a short ram air intake 2 put n it,so its really going down lol

[sr20d2fourt]

@BadBoyMike3

stfu

[BadBoyMike3]

yeah

[m19921992]

what did it put down?

[e57820]

250 rwhp @ 5psi. (My excuse) = This shop tunes a lot of lancer evos which bone stock make 215 awhp on this specific dyno. Mustang dynos are definitely tuning dynos and not bragging rights dynos like dyno jets. (excuses excuses) Also I had fuel issues 18.5:1 afr

:0

[stuntrider15]

wtf? weird man, when i had my mustang GT dynoed at CFT on there mustang dyno it made about the same numbers as your car, hmm......

[ttttoooonnnnyyyy1]

that shit crazy

[fomocoboy]

what a sleeper!

[snapywrist]

air filter

[snapywrist]

the filter cover came off

[SgtNem]

How's your MAF holding up mate? My 1UZ has a centri blower on it and it keeps popping the lids off the air flow meter....

[droppinadeuce11]

yo i just smoked an acura TL-S in my 97 LS400,,and its bone stock exept for a dual exhaust and k&n filter...these cars are faster than people think.

[jrockisthebest]

Wow now i want to build this car. Thanks for the inspiration man. Hope to put this engine in my ol 88 supra

[foam27]

Adam,

Justin in Chandler.

I ran with this guy on my Hayabusa....this LS400 runs like a raped ape!

Sold my 1997 LS400, and got an 02 LS430, now I have to wait for you to do one of those...lol

[irocz0r]

Is that the stock LS400 motor? What an exceptionally smooth and refined engine.

[jakenos51]

the best sleeper ever

[dude33694]

How is a karmaan vortex sensor terrible for boost? They're about the ONLY part on a DSM that doesnt fail ^_^

Now I WILL say they are TERRIBLE for air flow.

[dlygrind]

Gotta film more than just a dyno man! So good.

[BlkEj1]

Damn!!! Just Damn!!!that thing is crazy....has it been ran at the track? what are the numbers?

[distraction777]

this thing is a freakin beast

[flyjum]

this is a az car right? You ever bring to FIR?

[e57820]

yes, az. no never had it to firebird. work scheduel wont allow it. got a new job better scheduel building motor hope to run it before new year.

[toyssan1]

Dude, you can't run blow through setup on an carmen vortex. FIX IT!!!!!

[e57820]

I agree. I haven't been able to get the tune right. I am just going to go to a haltec stand alone. I am sick of fighting the factory computer. A speed/density system will be better anyways.

[carlosr428]

dude so im suppose to put the MAF between the turbo and the throttle body, or at the turbo inlet?, Im putting a single T70 on my SC400 btw, all you turbo v8 guys have inspired my lol, another thing is am i going to need some kind of A/F ratio tuner? electronics? u know that hell? xD im also working on getting a w58 and making an adapter plate for it, once i do ill release it for free most likely on solid works 07. well dude ure help is greatly apreciated please reply ASAP

[lowboost]

yeah those MAF's arent for boost, they will leak or fall apart and you will have an expensive mess.

[power2theq]

Great car. I really like that Blow Off Valve...sounds wicked. Where is the project at now? Have you taken it to the track?

[fritzkat]

I helped on a project and we turboed the same motor hooked her to a supra tranny and dropped it into a 1980 toyota corolla

[msgambino]

bad.

[palebeachbum]

It looks like Darth Vadar with his helmet off. LOL Sounds great man! It looks like a real beast.

[TubeYouLerDude]

nice dude, i just got done turboing a ls400 with a gt35 and that thing is sick. what are you planning for that car, drift or just daily driver/drag? haha

[carlosr428]

Hi, I really wanna turbo my SC400 but I have a couple questions. first of all do I really need to do any Piggy back tunning if i install the turbo or can the stock injectors and ecu work? (with a single T70) I meen I just want a decent street car i can drive evry day without having to fill up everyday xD, so any suggestions?

[whodablarg]

do u drive it without the front bumper or is it just off for the video?

[e57820]

I drove it for a couple months with the bumper off. In this video it has no exhaust only 18 inches of down pipe ending at the front sway bar. Since last october at the HIN show in Phoenix it has had the original front bumper and a complete exhaust system.

[Sheeple000111222]

without the turbo that car weighs only 250 less then a Lincoln town car with it i dunno

[JDMHustler]

if you don't mind me asking, how much did the whole set up cost you?

[speedaddict916]

what piggyback are you planning on running?

[e57820]

My piggyback is a Split Second FTC-1 it controls fuel and timing. I am also running a control module from Split Second called the ESC-1 It interfaces with my piggyback and controls my o2 sensor signals through programing and a vacuum/boost port. The only thing I need now to get the system installed and up and running is a laptop computer. Anyone want to donate?

[cambo61]

Great Job, can't wait to see more. You'll see 200hp/L easy.

[mypinis]

you idiot

[flipmode64]

its only a 4 liter engine you nub

[mypinis]

what are you talking about

[mattissweet2000]

4.0 litre v8 fool

[mypinis]

i know what size the engine is where did i say otherwise thick cunt

[rjetta8v]

lol

[SpikeRazzor]

Too much NFS in his diet...

[CrazyGuyFromDaBay]

HAHA

[uaedude]

Nice lexus, i have a 92 LS400 and i would like to twin turbo charge it. could you please send me a message on the info of your ls400 with the parts and costs of the stuf on yours ?

thanks for your time.

[07blkCobalt]

ballsy

[drmaz39160938]

nice

[Thermactor]

are those 01-03 LS430 wheels I see?

[e57820]

yup

[pr0j3ct86]

is that 250HP or KW? fairly big difference...

Even so, either is good for 7psi i would say heh. Yer I'm gonna have to get bigger injectors for mine =\

[e57820]

It's 250 HP, the dyno tech said on a dynojet it would likely be 280 which is around 320-330 engine HP. These pulls were done out of curiosity and for fun. real tuning begins when I get my piggyback and injectors.

[codpiece21]

What it put down?

[e57820]

7psi made 250 at the wheels on mustang dyno running 18.5:1 A/R meltdown lean; 13.2:1 is target. apexi SAFC and 251 injectors are not enough. still in tuning stages, by december I will have 460 injectors and custom piggyback. Target power is 400s at 8 to 10psi boost. Actually made deacent power for having no fuel in the engine. As I mentioned earlier STILL IN TUNING STAGES. Look for more video poasts in december and power update.

[hipvspec]

dayum it looks sweet

[loudzigen]

Single turbo uh? very nice though
