Norbie Forums Junkie Location: Brisbane Registered: May 2002	Re: Building an IS430 Thu, 20 January 2005 11:55 ozaristov300 wrote on Thu, 20 January 2005 21:14 Jim from Sideshow Performance Wiring has been recommended by Norbie and manmx83 but I'm not sure how to contact him. Any ideas? Send a private message to "sideshow". How easy is that? Quote: Although "heaps" is a relative term, at present this goes in the DON'T KNOW WHAT I DON'T KNOW category. My initial gut feel is $10-12K, which should drop to around $7-9K for subsequent conversions once the R&D work is out of the way. I would welcome views from those who know better. I would approximately double that estimate. The purchase of the engine and drivetrain alone could eat most of that budget! Quote: The W58 seems the popular choice. What is the R154 from? R154 is found in the MA71 and JZA70 Supra turbos, the JZZ30 TT Soarer, late-model 4WD Hilux's, and quite a large number of yank 4WD's and "SUV's". If you don't like the shift quality of a V160 you'll gag if you try an R154, they really are a truck gearbox! Pretty tough though. Quote: 5. Norbie: I need brakes that are big, light weight AND work on the road but don't know if the Supra brakes fit this definition or not. I hear the Celsior/LS400/LS430 brakes might be the go. Well I've heard second-hand that the JZA80 brakes are practically a bolt-on proposition. They're plenty big, but big AND light is a big ask, especially for OEM stuff. Unless you're willing to trade a kidney for brakes made out of unobtanium, you'll have to accept that big brakes weigh lots. It's a compromise well worth making though, believe me! As for your "work in the road" criteria, I'm not sure what you mean by that? I'm pretty sure most JZA80 Supras are in fact driven on the road! Quote: 2. A certain Melbourne tuning shop who will remain nameless (let's call them AVO) declined to guarantee that their $2,500, stainless steel, mandrel bent work of art would produce even 1KW performance improvement on my Aristo. If this was a turbo Aristo, they've got rocks in their head... a big exhaust inevitably leads to more boost on 2JZ's, and if you add a well-constructed dump pipe the boost goes up so far you can't even stop it! (Ask me how I know). Oh, and you do realise you're not right in the head for even contemplating a project like this, don't you? You're in good company around here though.
