Well guys, We finally had the chance tonight to strap her down to the dyno. I know everyone has been waiting for this for a while. We wont be running it too hard on this tranny so we stopped at 21psi. Lance(Toyomoto) says he wants it to last for atleast a little while. He's giving the car back to his wife tonight finally after 2 years.

Car made 494rwhp 441rwtq @ 22psi on 93 Octane Pump Gas
not too bad for a 2nd gen IS:lol:



HERES THE VIDEO GUYS!! ENJOY!

Thanks guys. The car is sweet to drive. After driving it around a couple times, i got to see how much nicer the 2nd gens are vs. the 1st gen is300s like mine. It feels alot more, expensive I guess(to me it does).

Depends how much 2 years of your life is worth to you I suppose :p


Far as I know nobody has been able to have this successfully done at a commercial shop so far though (there was one fella who posted about it a while back, had $50,000 into the swap on top of the cost of the 2IS and still didn't have it working yet).... that's why I asked if he'd documented the work, because he could've sold pre-made wiring harnesses for this swap for a fortune...sadly it appears he didn't.

You'd also have to deal with it being unable to pass emissions (though you might be lucky enough to live in a state without testing).

Better question- if you had to estimate how many hours of labor he put into the project, what would you estimate the number to be?

Then we can multiply that by $100 and add the cost of parts (many of which sound like they had to be custom made).

This assumes one can find someone equally competent to do the work at $100/hr of course which isn't a given, but it'd at least give a ballpark of cost.
