no, i can't.


basically, i've been lurking to find more shit to add to the lex and thus far i have found that noobs basically get....
intake [check]
exhaust [check]
header [check]
and adjustable cam gears [:yumyum:]
http://www.customcarscentral.com/hks22004-at003-lexus-is300.html
i wanted to get the HKS ones but i kept hearing it's not worth it and such, but now i kind of don't care and want it anyway.
so should i buy the cam gears? i've read it's a solid 8 hp from a lot of the guys on my.is and ant just said you can adjust the powerband as well.
but for real any ideas? and it's auto so a stage whatever clutch just won't do much for me.



help me or the lex gets a onefiddy shot and we all die. really fast.

Since you've just got basic boltons, can you just guess at how to adjust the cam gears and expect to pick up power? The cars I've seen with adjustable gears had to be tuned on a dyno to find the sweet spot and even then it seems like you're just moving around the power band (for the most part). I dunno, from what I've seen they just seem like more trouble than their worth.

I don't think 115k miles is enough to be paranoid about the motor. I would think it could handle a small shot pretty well... on the other hand Amanda + Nitrous just seems like a bad idea.

honestly from what ive read with the aem piggyback and the cam gears you can get it figured out.after that either cams and spray or a turbo.the motor will be fine im sure its a strong motor.the slush box tranny on the other hand not so much

200 bux for cam gear swap to get 8hp?!? Holy Christ and I thought mods for the GTO were stupid expensive for the HP return!!

Do a compression test, leakdown test, and check out both the oil and fuel pressures. If everything checks out Nitrous that bitch!

I know of several LS1's running around with 175+ wet shots with well over 200,000 miles on the clock with zero issues, so a 110,000 mile old toyota engine should have no problems if it's running in proper health. Nitrous has zero deliterious (sp?) effects to you engine that wouldnt otherwise be there with normal usage.

In any event you will need to do some research to find out what the stock fuel system is capable of supporting and go from there. Also keep in mind, one screw up with nitrous and bye bye motor - so be sure you triple check everything and that you know what you are doing before hitting it...

Before I ever screwed with it I made sure I knew it like the back of my hand. But once you unleash that juice the first time you will realize that all the work was WELL worth it.

I know all this from helping my bud with his 125 dry kit he put on his Trans Am....:D

Well im unsure of what tranny she has, but in the 4Runner world (2nd and 3rd generations) when you go supercharged with the TRD supercharger, you need to upgrade the valve body on the transmission so that the line pressures are higher, etc. Perhaps that's all she'd need....

Tanya
June 2nd, 2009, 11:02 AM
starting adding the cost of a dyno tune into your mod expenses. I wouldn't have known how to gain 13 hp for free if I hadn't gone, and leaned out my AFM and watched the dyno #s rise. cam gears are going to be useless to you if you don't know how to adjust them right. you need to be able to see what it is doing to your powerband... and there's no way you can just guess that accurately. also, you want to know what your air fuel ratios are doing. if you're running too rich, you're losing power and you need to fix that....

Anthony
June 2nd, 2009, 12:13 PM
from what i read so far nobody has talked about the tranny having problems.doing boltons and get the aem fic will net around 210 wheel n/a and with cams she can do 230ish.the biggest difference so they say is the header and y-pipe.imo the y-pipe should be next which will take the final cat out and she should be at 205ish wheel.the motor will do fine with a 75 shot on stock computer and stock tune with 1 step colder plugs.obviously just jet it rich and it would be fine. a safc or fic would be a good idea to get but nothing you have to have

A y pipe and either an O2 simulator or some anit-foulers should fix your CEL and probably help the A/F, and clean your air filter it was dirty. And the aforementioned plugs, wires, etc.

any more mods than i/h/e amanda you'll need injectors.with those mods you would be fine to run a 50 wet shot or even a fat tuned 75 wet shot.a fuel pump wouldnt be a bad idea though.

on side note with a vb upgrade and a tranny cooler the transmission will be pretty strong.theres guys running over 400 wheel while boosted through them with just those simples upgrades

yeah it comes down to you gotta pay to play.i already said its not the best bet but it is the cheapest.


imo i would do the y-pipe and tune then leave it alone performance wise.get some baller wheels with a crazy offset and then some coilovers and be done

Explain to me how her injectors are going to be maxed out? Aren't her injectors around 315cc?? her engine is what 220 hp at the crank? I don't think with a intake, header and exhaust she'd have gained 80+hp

actually the stock injectors are 270's from what theyve said and she should be 205 wheel right now from what others with the same stuff have.so after y-pipe and a tune 210.shes pretty much at 90+% duty cycle right there.

If injectors are needed, let me know.

It would not be difficult for me to get hold of top feed injectors rated 315cc or possibly even more.

theres a thread involving bolton performance and the gains of each part.they go into detail about the tuning of each part and where you have to stop.they pretty much all show that after the simple boltons the injectors are at 90% duty cycle or more and we all know thats bad for any length of time.they also explain the best mods to do and what to not waste your money.what she has done now is the most you can do besides 700$ cams or head work that only gives you 10 wheel and a slightly higher powerband.

Where is this thread? I'm interested in reading this. I've been told for nearly a decade that doing n/a mods to my engine would be fairly pointless, but that hasn't stopped me from doing it anyway, and I am making a lot of progress in the "proving people wrong" department.

And yes, agreed, anything over 80% duty cycle is bad. I was under the impression the IS300 came with larger injectors than what you stated.

I've been playing with this calculator all morning getting ideas for my app

Its close, hers has vvt-i, its not an AFM its a MAF. I just used it to illustrate how the intake hides so much shit.

Indeed.


Regardless, there are options. Fuel is not a problem that cannot be solved. Nitrous is apparently viable.


And finally...

I say meth injection!

Holy fuckballs... does the IS300 use a fucking AFM!?!?!


Oh, and I'd do it the fly way and direct inject it at the end of the intake runners. Nobody will ever see it and it'll go into each cylinder uniformly.

If you can hide a direct port system, you can hide a wet nozzle MUCH more easily - there'd be 5 less nozzles and 10 less hoses/hardlines... Secondarly going direct port for just a 75 shot is silly particulary when a single wet nozzle kit will cost 1/2 as much and be far more simple to install. (And remove if you want to get the car serviced under warrenty.)

theres a thread involving bolton performance and the gains of each part.they go into detail about the tuning of each part and where you have to stop.they pretty much all show that after the simple boltons the injectors are at 90% duty cycle or more and we all know thats bad for any length of time.they also explain the best mods to do and what to not waste your money.what she has done now is the most you can do besides 700$ cams or head work that only gives you 10 wheel and a slightly higher powerband.

sorry im not retarded and thousands of other people arent either.if you cant figure out how to hide it thats not my problem

x2! You can hide ANYTHING in the engine bay - it's all about how much time you want to spend hiding it.

Meth injection is nice in that she can ramp up ther BTDC timing and inhibiting predetonation and use lower grades of gas in doing so, but it wont really gain a whole lot of power in a NA application like it will in a boosted application. :) I was considing meth for a turbo setup for the 4runner....

Advancing the timing will give her more power.

I wouldn't run lower grade gas with it if I were advancing timing at the same time.

I'm just a motorized alcoholic. Nitrous would see much more gains.

To run meth safely, you would want to set up a knock monitoring system like J&S Safeguard.

Also in my opinion, when running advanced timing and Methanol or Water injection, I'd also run a W/B consistently with a EGT, water pressure hooked into the injection system or a flow sensor to give warning if the nozzle clogs, and finally an engine bay temp sensor only if running 100% methanol system.

Methanol burns a clear flame and without any smell. If the system starts to leak and it catches flame, then you won't know it until something else starts to burn and creates the smoke. A temperature sensor telling you that your engine bay temps just spiked will tell you that you need to break out the extinguisher and you'd have a much better chance at saving anything from catching fire.


In the end I think the way to go for you , Amanda, is an F/IC and some new injectors. I'm a person that like power that I can achieve with the gas pedal, not buttons.

win statement.

wideband, injectors, SAFC maybe? dyno tune!

oh and get those headers ceramic coated or something, will reduce engine bay temps by a lot.

exhaust is probably the biggest jump in hp you're gonna get, the rest is managing air and fuel and fine tuning IMO.

I know what you are saying, but a few switches ... and the rest can be done via the pedal with a nitrous setup as well. Fuck holding a button.

Oh and in addition, methanol injection can also be used for when you are running out of fuel, just like larger injectors would be.

Water injection effectively raises the octane of the gasoline. Octane is the rating of knock deterrent or preventative. Water injection increases the prevention of knock. Often people think that adding 100% methanol is the way to go, but in reality, it's not.

While methanol is a great combustible fuel to add and it burns cooler with more kinetic energy, water has more latent heat and keeps pre-ignition and detonation at bay. Often water is all that is needed, again, unless the motor is running out of fuel.

This is why I say running a W/B sensor daily and a knock monitoring system is best. EGT's won't really be effected at all, but if they start to rise to unacceptable levels, it gives warning that you might not otherwise detect.

Oh indeed. My upset is that once I buy the power adder, I like to look at and be happy. Not constantly feed it more money to keep it working.

meth is going to do virtually nothing for a stock compression lightly modded n/a car.she could spend the 400 for the meth kit or for about 50$ more she can get a ypipe emanage and injectors and then after whatever she wants to do from there will be fine.just needs a vb and tranny cooler and the transmission is stronger than the 5 spds

Go SRT stage 2.75 and get the auto trans cooler. 450ish whp. your tranny can handle that. but start saving.
