FS: Lexus IS300 - Fully built motor, standalone ems, $5500

[madchyers]

Hello Zilvia friends, for sale is my mechanic's Lexus IS300. This car was built to be a race car, it could be a daily driver, but has potential to see well over 500hp. All the work done on the car was done by my mechanic, he is an ASE certified technician who went to school at UTI in the Inland Empire. Located in Inland Empire (Redlands, to be exact) Title is clean. The only real issue is that it needs a tune, it has a start up map and idles great. Since the car needs a tune, we're only looking for $5500.

Specs:
fully built 2jz-ge engine
cp pistons 8.5:1 compression .020 over, short skirt to reduce weight
eagle h beam rods
clevite race bearings on mains and rods
full floating wrist pins with twin locks
cometic head gasket 1.2mm, gets compression to 8.3:1 over all to handle more boost
fully ported and polished cylinder head
new oe valves and springs with locks, buckets and shims. 3 angle valve job done as well
bc stage 2 cams 264/264
megasquirt 2 ems (upgraded MS3 chip) - Needs a tune, currently has idle tune by TokenSolutions
split second 7th injector tuned for what i run now
built ae650e e-shift trans
3000 stall torque convertor that is absolutely amazing
koyo radiator, manual trans style with no internal trans cooler
aftermarket trans cooler mounted at front of condensor
autometerr boost gauge and af meter with wideband
obx header, y-pipe, and full exhaust with no resonator, very loud, and extremely agressive
blitz 1.3bar radiator cap and trd oil cap.
entire brake system was flushed and had dot4 installed for higher braking temps
powerstop slotted and drilled rotors with powerstop ceramic race pads
new ignition coils with ngk bkr7eix11 iridium plugs one step colder for boost, gapped at .28
new 6k hid bulbs, custom switch to operate alternating flashing high beams, just like cop cars.
lsd rear end, not yet installed
also includes a spare engine that is blown if you want to rebuild it and have a spare.
engine has been painted to match the car as well as the valve covers
lowered on tein ss coilovers
new inner tie rods, and lower ball joints, less than 1k on suspension parts
ebay strut tower bar
less than 300 miles on engine and transmission
17" velox wheels, hubs are damaged and missing, but there are no bends or scrapes on the lips at all. they are wrapped in 245/45/17 rubber, verrry grippy and handle well.
the car has 142682k on it, but engine has ~200 miles on it

Will also include WITH the car: custom widebody kit (not currently installed), spare rear axle, LSD, near complete turbo kit (Garrett 60-1, jet coated turbo manifold, gauges, exhaust), NRG harness bar w/Sparco harnesses.

Cons: A/C deleted, began a project to utilize the A/C control in dash as a gauge pod. It will include the gauges, just needs a little work. Needs a tune, car idles great, but I wouldn't try driving it around until it's tuned. Couple knicks here and there on the bumpers, but definitely nothing noticeable.

bump. damn if only i could get my car sold

[SLiDe_WaYz]

Where's the IC? .... Am I the only one who noticed that?

Edit: my bad, noticed it isn't boosted just built for F/I.

GLWS.

[Mista Lee]

Hell of a price.I would buy it if I had the space..

Goodluck

[Slo-STI]

I'm Confused. Why does it have a boost gauge?

[ma.jomaa]

why not finish it and ask more?

[Slide in]

Hey it looks as if u guys built it to speck for turbo ? Or am I missing something with the 8.5-1 comp wouldn't it be best suited to run 10.5-1/11-1 comp for n/a . I second the tune it show a legitimate dyno sheet so there's no discrepancy on the car actually doing what u guys r making claims it could do . Plus you'd be able to Asia true fair price at that point .

My $.02

Thanks for the bump, hit me up if you get your car sold. Surprisingly no serious buyers have contacted me, it's been up on Craigslist for a while.

Thank you, I appreciate the positive feedback.

@Slo, the car will come with a partially completed turbo kit. Before it the Megasquirt was installed and the new motor was built, it was supercharged.

@ma.jomaa, not enough space to keep this one in storage anymore. It's hard enough selling it as is at such a fair price. Asking for a few more grand on top after tuning it fully and piecing together the rest of the turbo kit would just take more time.

@Slide, yes this motor was built for mid to high boost application with the lowered compression and forged internals. If you have had any experience or knowledge about the 2jz, you would know the potential a fully forged 2jz can do...Stock GE internals will be safe between 300-350hp (7-10lbs of boost), Supra TT GTE internals will be safe up to 500-600hp (14-18lbs of boost), anything more than 600+ hp, safely, would require forged internals. The turbo kit isn't complete, nor is it tuned to be driving around as it sits right now. So a dyno sheet isn't something we can supply, and if we could get it on a dyno it wouldn't show anything spectacular since it is N/A with lower compression.

That's cool I hear u

[Slide in]

That's cool I hear u on the comp . For the record several people have built 2jzgte's that supported 1000whp I know my buddy at virtual works in Vegas was the first to accomplish this . I have a few boosted toys of my own so yes I have a Lil idea about turbos .

If this had 11:1 or higher comp I would so buy this.

[madchyers]

@slide, I'm not trying to talk down to you or argue with you. I've seen GTE's pushing high horse power numbers without forged internals also. Everyone has different philosophies when it comes to motors and how to build them, fair? But for the sake of this case the car, the motor and all of the collective parts/modifications presented to you guys is priced pretty fairly considering everything that's included.

Dang, that's too bad :/
