I have bought an IS200 which has had a 1UZ VVTi installed by the previous owner.
It doesn't feel as quick as I thought it would.
In essence he has ONLY used the 1UZ engine and ECU everything else is stock:
Gearbox, fuel pump, rad, axle etc
Has anyone got experience as I find it hard to believe that the items designed to run 150ish bhp can cope running 300ish bhp
In fairness I have taken it for a decent run and it doesn't overheat (albeit it's only 10 degrees today) and generally drives well and is far more civilised that I expected.
