Keith C Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Blimey Chris - that looks almost factory! What that work done by yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 How could the engine not fit? The IS300 in the US uses the 2JZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted April 26, 2005 Author Share Posted April 26, 2005 Proper job! Engine nice and far back in bay, proper induction set up, decent heat shielding, they even mounted the programmabel ECU baord in the same box as the IS200 one which controls air con and dash displays. I'd be very proud of that conversion myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 It does look like it came out of the factory that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 How could the engine not fit? The IS300 in the US uses the 2JZ. Apparently the Toyota lump wont even fit in a GS 300 either , cough bullshit cough Dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted April 26, 2005 Author Share Posted April 26, 2005 But this is in Oz, and it started off as a 2 litre 4 cylinder.... You don't think the yanks could do anything quite as tasteful as that, surely ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu_Fraser Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Looks really neat..... bet it goes like shit of a shovel too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Terry S Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Chris that is Ray Hall's personal car, it's been floating around for about 3 years+. Reg Riemer has a gorgeuos VVTi example too which he uses in the US One Lap challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted April 27, 2005 Author Share Posted April 27, 2005 They have done some really nice conversions. I rate the Ozzies and NZlanders for this sort of stuff, they seem to have the patience to do stunning work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnA Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 That's a very stealthy and neat conversion, I like it a lot. PS wot, no stupid cone filter? won't the engine choke to death from lack of hot air? lol... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 That's a very stealthy and neat conversion, I like it a lot. Me 2. Be lovely if it was VVTi too Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Going back to the pic.. love the way the intake uses the standard airbox.. do you think hes snuck a cone filter on the end of that enclosed in the box? Very nice install if so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 ...do you think hes snuck a cone filter on the end of that enclosed in the box? ... Yeah, using a filter element with 3-4 times less the active surface is a good way to gain power, well if you believe the advertisers that's how it is, lol....

Ian C Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 He's in a bad mood because internet access is extremely slow and very sporadic at work Pod filters are great if you've got heatshielding and a bit of ducting And a good reason to have them. And they aren't green mushroom ones. Must sort out my heatshield lol And some ducting. Still, one out of three isn't bad -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Ian, before ditching the HKS filter thing, I took the time to measure it's effective surface area: 1050cm2 Do you know how much the surface of the stock filter is? 5000cm2 mate. Almost FIVE times as much. Not even similar ball park figure, we're talking about a serious downgrade here... Heat soak comes for free. But hey, it sounds kewl, so that's good enough to spend money on it, it's a free market after all, each to their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Not all Pod filters are the same size or construction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
