I popped inot a company called Advance imports here in AK NZ last week to enquire about locally sourced air elements for my car and they told me they are building one in Australia at the moment too!

Even offered to attempt a conversion to my TRD,at a cost of around 10K NZ...(3500 pounds ish)...

I respectfully declined.

Can't wait to see what the monster runs like!!

Will do a bit more digging on this Australian job if you'd like?

TRD328 · June 18, 2003

hey Gav, so your engine is 1gfe tuned by TRD?

What have they done to it actually??

power outputs?

Saturday 5th July is dyno day at Auckland's Torque Performance, from 9am to 12noon.

Costs $50 for a 2wd, for a run and a printout.

conntact Robin at Torque at 09 828 7054

that will tell you who has what power! :D

Thems soundin like fightin' words Keith!! ;)

Trd 328-Had my car looked over by the boys at performance car magazine,they assesed it over a full day,and tell me the following is different from the norm.

1: It's a DUAL STAGE vvt-i,unlike my previous IS that was only a single.

2: The 1gfe is running a compression ratio that is higher than standard(11.5:1)

3: The computer is a re-programmeable rom-simply plug into a tuning port. It also has a (plug in)type chip setup.(unsure about normal ecu's)

4: Limited slip rear end

Their results and experts tell me the car is in the vicinity of 160kw.

I've got the article which I'd love to post for you guys to check out-but everytime I scan the mag pages they end up as MASSIVE file sizes,so would take forever to up/download.

Can anyone offer me scanning advice on doing a full A4 size,full color article that will be of a smaller size??

Been trying but my graphics knowledge is somewhat newbie....

Hope this info helps,

Regards,

TRD328 · June 18, 2003

wow how they make it dual vvti?? change the cams??

would be a good performance mod!

So how fast does the car go 0-100km/h?

Oh yeah get off ur lazy ass and scan it... I've got cable :)

Gavin_S · June 18, 2003

I've never tried timing it-i myself am still learning about these motors,purely going on what I've been told at this stage....

Tis an auto,so bit sluggish off the line but once those cams start openin its a real smile mobile!

Average file size for each of the four page article is 3.5 Meg-ya still want it??

Email maybe-save uploading all that space to the gallery?

Gavin_S · June 19, 2003

oh yeah-forgot to mention-NO TRACTION CONTROL!! :P

2JZ-GTE-IS200 · June 19, 2003

wandering a tad off the posted topic here

Gavin_S · June 20, 2003

Sorry Mat-my bad-just gettin carried away in all the excitement.....

Shadow200 · June 22, 2003

Its almost unbelieveable that they managed to extract 160kws from the engine without force induction. So is there any ideas if someone besides TRD can provide this to all our other 1G-FE?

greeneyes · June 22, 2003

As far as I know the 6cyl 1GFE have only the inlet on VVTi, whereas the 3SGE 4cyls have both cams. I wonder how big a job it was to convert the exhaust cam to variable timing, including the computer program that controls it all. I haven't seen anyone offering that service in a tuneup shop.

I saw webpage that showed new IS200s available in Russia with superchargers fitted. Power quoted was 186KW!

This page lists all the Toyota engines and their power. Very handy, including the 1GZFE 5.0L V12 for Matt's monster when he's tired of the 2JZ-GTE

TRD328 · June 22, 2003

any links to the russian page?!

they running the is200 on vodka?

Gavin_S · June 22, 2003

100 proof I hear!

Now I'm as confused as anyone as to what may(or may not) be under the hood on my car!(newbie on the technical side of these motors and going on what I've been told by knowledgeable people).

Hey Greeneyes,you up for this dyno day coming so we can have our showdown? ;) (will ease my mind on est vs dyno'd performance figures too)

:o doh!off topic again-sorry guys.

greeneyes · June 23, 2003

(Sigh) Two hours this morning searching "Altezza .ru" and "IS200.ru" through Babelfish, and I can't find that site again! Typical of the WWW, you only ever see something once! I found this news item saying our Jap imports will all become Lexii in 2005- I'm afraid its still a bit Russian...

Toyota declared about its intentions to present brand of lekhus on the domestic market and to decrease a quantity of marketable channels of those selling the automobiles of toyota from five to four.

Sales of automobiles under the stamp of lekhus will begin in 2005 year through the specialized marketable channel.The automobiles of toyota in execution of luxes were sold under the stamp of lekhus in THE USA and had there enormous success.Only matters on the European and Asian markets more badly were.In order to correct situation, Toyota plans to convert brand of lekhus into present high-class brand represented on the markets for the entire world.The advance of branding will begin from the Asian market, and first of all this will touch Japan, where most likely will disappear such models as shindom, Altezza, Chelsior and Yuarriyer, and for the change by it will arrive the new models of lekhus.
