Hi all, My names Elliott, im 22 and live in vancouver.
I have had es300s in the past ( laugh it up ) and always been a toyota fanboy, though i am a major honda enthusiast and am building a drag car from a 97 civic hatch at the moment.
For my daily fun I drive a 2008 lexus gs460,
All i have done to it so far is an exhaust i fabbed myself, wheels and coilovers are in the mail, blew the stock RR so i might as well upgrade.
Now here is the trouble i face, i want more power, i take it to the 1/4 strip often, best time so far is a 14.0 at 102mph.
I am having mucho trouble finding performance parts for this motor (1ur-fe) but these are my current thoughts and i have the mechanical inclination to do it all, but with little being done elsewhere to this motor by us poor DIY guys anything i do seems to be venturing into the unknown.
- Direct injection swap from the ls460 (40hp gain approx)
- 5.7 swap, alot more support for this motor, as well as the trd supercharger
- 2ur-fse 5.0 from a ls600 but all the hybrid tech seems likley to add difficulty even though i would not retaing the hyrbrid powertraain
- Wet shot of nitrous, single fogger. may use an msd unit i have to retard timing or an apexi neo for fuel.
- I see many programmers for the 4.6 tundra, i am wondering if it would work at all on my car.
- Or turbo... I have all the means to fab a kit, tuning is just a bit of a bitch, i would rather not have the headache of wiring in a motec unit or what have you and deal with probably a million weird electrical issues ( lights sensors etc.)
Share some lexus v8 wisdom with me? Hope to be on this site often.
Here is a video and some pictures of my car. Ingore the drug dealer wheels they are temporary hehe.
