watching two professionals troubleshooting and enjoy the results is a fantastic thing. Loving both Benny and Scottys work

Benny would make a champion poker player, the facial expression from peeved to excited does not change.

'RB20? I thought you meant depressing' Oh I lolled!

They both would know whats going up even if they would not say any word. The explaining is perfect that even for me as a noob in everything can understand whats next or wrong. Thanks for that guys. Have a nice weekend and stay healthy everyone

Despite an aftermarket ECU, I love how realistic this is for the every day person. Unless you're racing competitively, you only really need enough power to have fun with.

I love the diagnostic banter between Tuning Fork and Benny - would listen to this in any future videos!

Really enjoyed this, seeing the two of you brainstorming while troubleshooting that thing was very therapeutic for me, felt like I was right there with ya...cheers fellas!

Awsome episode, ive seen Scotty plenty on mcm, but the detail you aired of his tuning knowledge was awsome, cheers👍

I really want more episodes about this thing! Super into it and just watched all the episodes in a row and need more!

What a dream team! That went by in what felt like 10 minutes! Love this stuff :D

Awesome video! As I've already spammed this under many dyno tuning videos: I just absolutely love these technical, detailed videos with all the fuckups included too. Love the progress more than the end result. :)

Love how calm and methodically you guys narrowed down the problem so you could get back to the interesting part of the job.

Love seeing more of the tuning process - keep it up!

Brilliant to see a long video showing what proper tuning looks like - just how much work is involved in it. Scotty is just the absolute nuts 👍

Its bloody awesome to watch Scotty tune and listen to his expertise, great video Benny 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Nice one guys epic work. showing how it's done!

Thanks Benny & Scotty Nice pickup on that car.

Really amazing videos for a car I just bought! Thank you! :)

I'm liking this build a heap. Always thought this engine needs a bit of love from someone and such a great tuner chassis.

Nice work Benny!

0:35 as lexus is 200 owner i laughed way to hard. Great series!

Tuner and mechanic having fun and working the gremlins out. Very refreshing to see the grit of it and you both bounce off each other so well, heaps of great payouts on each other haha. Get married already fellas 🤪

Love it when you guys catch Benny's freestyle comments. Comedy gold.

These tuning videos are probably me favorite. Hi Mr fork

I really love this series, I'm actually owning 3 first gen Lexus IS200. I've installed a lot of these supercharger kits, and dynoed most of them. None had so low power numbers. 1G-FE is a rock solid engine, but something is wrong with yours 😉

This was sooo GOOD. Thanks gyus for sharing your knowledge. 12:22 Tuning fork burn made me laugh.

Love these dyno vids with scotty.

Thats mad good job

Good video 👌👍

Between Benny's and Skid factory, I enjoy what you do. A little too old for unicorns from those other two.

Nice work

educational, comedy, win/fail/win gold 👌

I feel a bit better about my 1.6 litre '93 Civic with a stock exhaust (for an Integra Type R) with an intake pipe I found at work, making almost the exact same power at the wheels. Besides the lackluster results, it's enough for some skids, both Ben and Scotty are a bloody good team, love your work boys.

These engines are rated at 153hp in the UK, that's crazy that you couldn't get close to that NA

When you realise you hadn't yet subscribed 🤦‍♂️. That Lexus sounds cool with the blower.

Legends!

I'd still be happy with that RWHP in my ta22. currently making about the same as the is200 as NA.

Oh... I honestly thought it would have more in it... power gains with how many km it's done not bad. Bring on the Cresy

I have same supercharger on my 88 mustang!!! Sounds nice

35 years ago, when electronic injection was becoming common, no one would have believed that people would be adding turbos and superchargers and tuning fuel ratios with a pc.

love the problem solving...

Massaging and secret squirrel in the first 10 mins, this is fkn awesome

How do you bring up that data log screen in esp? It looks different to what I can bring up?

benny's a closet ghost cam lover

What was the torque increase through the rev range though with adding boost? That's generally the biggest advantage for PD blowers or turbos even

Don't tell Scott you can't put in more boost. He will find way! At least you don't have Moogs feral toe on your laptop

I had an SC14 on my rb30 many years back with some sketchy brackets and non-intercooled. From memory it made 104rwkw NA and 118rwkw SC on 6psi at a 1:1+ drive ratio, until the rotors munched themselves a few months later and boost was down to 2psi, lol. Crappy power numbers, but awesome drivability.

Easy math is closer to 33% more power. 75kw x 1.33=100kw

I might have a man crush on Scotty, such a genius.

Mad

Awesome EP what cameras do you use?

Have you had any issues with the idling being too high? I have a is200 with the same rank one supercharger and it seems to idle quite high

Funny to listen to Benny & Scotty rationalize having such a gutless faff of what’s supposed to be a ‘drift car’. Outside of the looks, 135hp is fine for toodling around town but it needs a mill that can put down some real power!

Friendly suggestion; You would sell mad shirts with, "Shi'ya! Wegada tadugun"

It's gonna be a good day if Scotty and the Dyno are involved.

11:20 safety first can’t go for a drive with the door open 😂

Does Benny play his theme music when he enters his shop space??

Fantastic video. Little puzzled by the bhp with a charger though. Here in the uk they are 155 bhp standard. I miss mine.

Is the variable intake manifold working? On the stock tune it feels like the engine makes peak power at 6500 RPM, I find it strange it dives down so much at the top end.

nek minnit " so now ive bought another IS200 for the road "

Would love to hear scotts tips on tuning with unreferenced fuel pressure regs

Now i know for sure why i cant be bothered to put a sc on mine. It loves high octane fuel, probably due to the e-throttle. It works ok drifting on icy lakes, only grief i have is the awkward seating/pedal-position.

Would you not gain more power if you got rid of the standard Manifold, they advise you to get rid of the cats on rank ones website

What did that engine with the blower make stock? I feel like 100 kw for a blown 2.0l i6 is awfully low.

Would've got chopped by Yaris Hilton but it does run much smoother after the tune.

I think if you were making that a full time drag car, a pro charger or turbo would be better. For a street car this way is really good gains in the rpm range of normal driving.

I have definitely fallen behind, this is the first vid I have seen in this series

I prefer Scotty with glasses. I can't get used to him without.

I'm wondering how you got the different percentage throttle positions? Scottie's foot position?

Can you get a smaller pulley for these to get a bit more boost?

i kinda feel like you should check the valves. losing 1/3rd of its power is just not ok for this car. they're slow but they usually dont degrade that much.

Mad hoop marks out the front of Haltech or what?

talking so up front is like thinking out loud ...you can have a master class in tuning thoughts...in 1972 my mechanic tuned my Cooper s by ear..just screwdriver and twisting the dizzy

you can get better pulleys for that supercharger, think they go to 7psi? can't remember.

If you go from 75 to 100 KW its not a 25% increase but a nice 33%. it seams to be a vary nice kit.

Yo Benny as someone who just saved an is200 6 speed from a bad home and wants to make her a little more fun, how much would you say my stock 6speed could hold in terms of power? I’m hoping to just get her up to 350-400hp and leave her there, do you think the J160 can handle that?

Whats a stock 2jzge make ??

Exactly the way i have it in my car, stock circuit drives a relay to the fuel pump and said relay has a dedicated power supply wire from the battery, i tossed a perfectly fine 255 pump before finding out that the power supply was the problem... yeah i know

Have you tried changing the ACIS activation point? I can see that you have been playing with the VVT-i but this engine also has a variable length intake manifold, a variation of the Toyota T-VIS called ACIS (Acoustic Control Induction System). It's a solenoid that operates a vacuum actuator and moves a butterfly inside the intake manifold, this re-routes the air through a longer path, effectively creating long or short runners for low or high RPM operation. I don't know if the stock ECU is still operating this system with the piggy back, but it may be worthwhile to fiddle with it. You can bypass the ECU and activate the solenoid directly to change to the short air path and see if the performance in high RPMs is improved, just to test. In the stock 1G-FE (My daily is an IS200 and this supercharger kit should be arriving to my home in a couple of days :)) you can feel the change in performance at about 4500 RPMs, when the ECU changes the ACIS to shorter intake runners, it's very noticeable. The dyno graph shows a very steady increase and no bump at this RPMs, so that is why I'm wondering if the system is being used. I guess that the ACIS works with the VVT-i in the intake cam to get the most out of the engine, so it must be harder to tune than a normal VVT-i engine. I've been with this car for some years now and I know it very well, don't hesitate to ask :D. I love how it handles with the double wishbone suspension front and rear. Anyways, nice videos, keep up the good work! Regards from Spain!

Fun episode, that kit does seem nice. It's just a shame you're probably making the crank horse power of a gen 4 liberty 2.5i ;) but still holy crap 2L V6, would be cool to see what a built motor could do

I absolutely love watching this series, but it just seems like a ton of work to end up with no power, especially for a car that isn't road legal. This makes my old R53 look like a rocket.

So now I'm glad we got the IS300 here with the N/A 2j. Still a pitiful motor without a snail, but better than that!

Why do I hear LFA when the car was revving

Sounds very similar to a Lancia 037

A cheap eBay turbo in a welder and you could double or triple the results everywhere

Have I missed something 1g-fe engine is 114kw stock so why is it only making 100kw with the supercharger

Watch out for those Corollas tailgating...

What are you life goals this year ? "Try & run out of turbo"

Those power-figures seem SO WRONG, seeing as people here have gotten 200+ on the basic superchargers that bolt right on all over the place. Seems like somewhere there is a substantial power-loss

Never knew Ned Kelly was into Toyotas.

Oh well. at least you have a fun skip pan car. I'm still waiting for some genius to unlock the potential power from my gg9 ej204 wagon. Surely something can be done? cheers.

Dam a stock na 1j has 125-147kw

I know in canada they never even bothered to sell the is200, guess i know why.

Scotty your 7' or 2.5 m car ninja

what ecu ?

new camera guy ?

no ads 😭

Looks like it's gonna be a ballache to change my is200 intake & throttle then. Such a shame cus the engine & chassis are brilliant.

Good content, love the back and forth commentary, but Good lord there are a ridiculous number of cuts and camera changes. You don't HAVE to swap camera everytime somone ends a sentence. I was having flashbacks to AMV compilations from the early 2000s. Also, who's the new co-star with the camera and man-bun? He needs to be introduced since he's getting as much screen time as the car.

I want to buy an 86 and whack a supercharger on it and get that little bit extra everyone says the car needs. ( only issue is swimbo says one sports car is enough.....one! .....)
