Sounds good Asi, so when is it going back on the road ??
My New IS V8 Build - Asi - 13-01-2018
i have no idea when it goes back on the raod the way it looks prob about 1 and half months.
need to get new manifold made as there is no spae for the current ones and its a very tight squeeze

Well mate i bet that when your car will be ready it will be one of the best Lexus on the road and of course the only IS200 V8 Turbo

thanks Dimis.
well just got up so going to go to the garage around 1 and will take pictures of the boot as the battery and fuel pump is in place and all bynamatted to keep the sound of the fuel pump away and keep the rattles away with a futue sound install!

Good stuff Asi look forward to the pictures then, where you getting the manifold from? Are you aiming to move the turbo from where it was, as i thought there was a heat issue with it being so close to the manifold?
My New IS V8 Build - Asi - 14-01-2018
The turbo is going to be in the same place as it would require a lot of work. From what I know the turbo was overheating because it was running lean and needs a remap and it would be fine. I don't think it was close to the manifold. Would get pics up tonight
