Turbo IS300 gets new wheels/tires and other upgrades!

After fighting an issue with steering wheel vibration/feedback while braking, I was finally able to eliminate the issue by installing some upgraded polyurethane bushings in the front-end of the Turbo IS300. Needing some new tires anyway, I figured it was a good time to switch things up with a new tire and wheel combination as well.
** I'm currently planning to take the Turbo IS300 down to Supras In Vegas Show & Shine this Friday, October 11th, so be sure to stop by and say hi if you'll be attending the event! **
Thanks for watching!

Are the old rims for sale? Love the new look. Also when are going to take it to the track? I think it is time to go with a 3.13 or 3.24 rearend, you have the power and the tire now. You just need a little better gearing to utilize both. What a mean looking and sounding IS. Great video keep them coming.

@twojay 4 жыл бұрын

I already sold the old wheels and tires. I'm not sure when I will make it to the track but I would really love to take it to a 1/2 mile event. The 3.55 gear set is the lowest that is available for the IS300 housing unfortunately, so going to something lower would require retrofitting an entirely different rear-end in the car (Supra, Ford 8.8, etc). It's something that I plan to do eventually but is a big project both financially and in the amount of work involved. Thanks for watching!

No lift shift requires an ecu with a strategy to cut spark during a shift. You'll need to have a strain gage shift lever (Measurement Specialists in Hunstville Alabama can do this for you) that can detect when you are applying force to the shift lever. The ecu will see that signal and cut spark for a calibrated duration. This can be done on a synchronized transmission, but it is abusive to the synchs. A dogbox or "faceplated" box handles it better.

@twojay 4 жыл бұрын

@@GroovesAndLands Thanks for the info! I know there are ways of accomplishing "flat-foot shifting" without fancy equipment like a strain gauge, but obviously that's probably the best solution.

Either way, definitely hard on the transmission synchros and I have no intention of putting my V160 through that kind of abuse!
