How to BUILD A 704HP LEXUS GS300 in 15 Minutes
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 авг 2021
- We took all of the highlights from 14 episodes of our GS300 build and condensed them into one short video. Minimal talking, plenty of building & modifying with a hint of skateboarding.
If you haven't seen the entire series, buckle in for a jam-packed 15 minutes of the team turning a bone stock, deteriorating Lexus GS300 into a 704HP street monster. If you've got a longer attention span, we highly recommend watching the entire series from Ep. 1 to the end.
It's rare to see a modified GS300 in Australia, but considering they come from factory with a 2JZ-GE, there is plenty of potential for those who want to get into it.

15 minutes to build? That’s incredible 😀👍
Haha man if only! The beauty of editing I guess.... The build took the better part of a year if we're being completely honest with you.
No way you guys only have 1500 subs! Awesome quality and great build! Hopefully you guys blow up one day !
Hey man, glad you enjoyed the video and appreciate the support.
We're working on it, just takes time and effort. Make sure to tell all your friends about us!
Holy shit I thought this was a Million-Subscriber channel. Insane. Sharing this with all my friends and excited as my own GS300 build is coming soon! Amazing content fellas, much love from Utah.
What a team to accomplish all that in 15min
Comes down to create planning 🤣🤣
Sick transformation guys.
Well done!
Thanks mate, glad you liked it!
I own three of these... Beautiful build you guys built...💯🏁🏁🏁👍
any tips for how to get flush fitment, i have a stock 2000 gs300 and can’t find any videos on what to do first or how i should start, sorry if i sound dumb i’m completely brand new to all this
Amazing job! I'm actually debating on buying some D9R in 19x10.5/9.5 for my GS and this just confirmed that I should definitely buy them haha!
100% man, little bit of negative camber and you're sorted!
Guys U R amazing...during 15 min you just did incredible things 👍
Haha glad you enjoyed it!
Great video.....it's motivated ro see the complexity and dedication on the gs300......
Thanks for watching!
Not too many people go this crazy with GS300's, so there was a lot of learning involved. But super stoked with the outcome!
Probably my favorite youtube vid. So good
Thanks for watching man! A lot of time went into building, filming and editing so we are glad you liked it.
Nice work!
Big fan of the work ‼️🔥
Appreciate it, thanks for watching!
Had my GS for 3 months and I’m loving every minute
That is awesome! They are excellent cars :)
Nice build 🔥
Glad you like it
I crashed my gs300 4 times one left slight front end , damage , one some Asian foo reversed full speed while trying to EXIT a super market parking lot smfh, one time lots of fog on the streets and I went over a divider , popped both tires , third time I was trying to drift it in the rain and front hit the front end in a light pole , fourth time I raced an ls430 and I kept em off till about 65mph from a dig , he kept going I let go of the throttle ,coming down a hill I floored it again and the back started swinging , hitting a guard rail and smashing the rear passenger quarter panel , I used body filler on it and it runs great , needs suspension work for sure but other than that its great , crazy even fixed the slightly blown head gasket from the catalytic converter breaking off Inside and clogging it , used some bars headgasket and been running 20k miles without an issue
Damn
Damn
Dang what a video and you guys 1k subs?? Can see this channel going far much love 🙌
Thanks so much! Tell all your friends about us haha.
ARA on style. Great job. Bravo!
Thank you! Cheers!
Well done chaps awesome build, you convinced me, rather GS than E30. Much respect from Potts here in CPT RSA. SSS GTX soon GS
Hey there, thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed the video. We put so much work into it so we're happy people enjoy the content.
Honestly you can't go wrong with anything that has a 2JZ in it.... 2JZ E30 is maybe an idea for you haha!
I want my GS300 done like this! That thing is beautiful!
U can’t. Just keep it stock! Stock is the best.
@@cleanerhustle9969 how is stock the best?
Thizz Rebuilt Lexus GS300 izz BEYOND AWESOME !!!
Car absolutely awesome. Stunning ...
Hey Daniel,

Glad you liked it! A lot of blood, sweat and tears went into creating this.
NICE
Thanks for watching, we really appreciate it!
Im glad i purchased 2 2jz-gte engines years ago build is way cheaper and found a clean gs300 shell for $750 recently now its time to put in work!
Love the music too.
Thank you!

haha no way, been getting into cars since working at a engine reconditing supplies shop and I've sold to Arundel cyl heads XD
They do good work there man!
That right there is legendary man!! Blessed gs 4 sure I own one myself ! How much is a build out like that gonna run me fellas ?
Hey Mike, thanks for watching.
They are such an awesome car and totally worth modifying. This build we spent a fair bit over $100k AUD, but we left no stone unturned. We wanted to make sure it was as bulletproof as possible.
@@giorgionicola It makes a great sleeper. Street racing might even get your money back.
Men's dream car! ARISTO 2JZ Banzai!!!
I saw this the other day, cleanest gs300 in aus 👀
That is awesome!
I do love the 7:19 comment.
😂
I’ve been building stuff forever and never said it!
This is honestly one of our favourite moments from the whole series. Still cracks us up everytime as it was completely unplanned!
Thanks for watching.
Love the video… 👍🏻👌🏻 by the way do still keep the OEM Cluster Instrument for this GS300? If you still have it, i am interested to buy it from you guys..
Hey mate, thanks for watching.
Unfortunately we threw the old cluster out not long ago. We tried to sell it a few times but couldn't find anyone who needed it.
I wish you had list of specifications that you have done to it so that I can pick and choose what to order from your side
Hey Andrey, thanks for watching!
We wrote up a little bit of a build thread on our website outlining all of the parts we used. It's quite basic but will give you a rough idea of what went into the build. A lot of parts were custom made for the car, so we can't sell them as off-the-shelf parts. Although there are still plenty of bolt-on parts we used that are available on our website.
If you're looking at doing something similar with your car, feel free to message us on Facebook or send us an email through our website and we can have a chat about your build.
Here's the build thread:

Beautiful build Whats wheel spec
What I want to know is the straight 🔥that is the music playlist used on this video?!
Fantastic work on the GS300 and an even better video. You deserve 500k subscribers at least with this quality of work.
Thank you so much!
Where do you guys get your turbos?❤
Aye where did you get those headlights?
What headlights are y’all running?
Im gonna need some parts for my gs300
Get in touch with us man and we'll be happy to help you out!
Do you have a playlist of the music? It's amazing!
Hi mate, thanks for watching.
We don't have a playlist but here's a list of most of the songs we used for the entire series:
Skrxlla - Big Time
Skrxlla - Fast
Skrxlla - Yea Yea Yea
FLF - Last Supper
Less Gravity - Float
When Mountains Move - Valle de Anahuac
Oliver Michael - Wansui
Ynke - Magic Pony
@@giorgionicola ty! I love the car btw!
Where are you guys located
Hum I'm wondering if you guys could fix my Lexus GS300 like this if I had the money an time id do it myself its got 1555005 miles but around here there isn't enough black top for it in the winter couldn't drive it it be a summer car good job guys nice car hope the winner takes car of it for a long time too I know I take care of mine ..............
the amount of money i can only imagine
I own an 01' gs300. Just got it running again. The spark plug timing wires were bare and shorting cylinders 2and 6 plus killed the coil for cylinder 2. But now thats straighten up I love driving her again. Next is new tires and turn the rotors. I want to do the most effective improvement to the 2jz to increase HP. Any suggestions? Thx!!!
Hey mate, there's not a lot you can do to increase HP apart from build your own turbo kit. They 2JZ-GE's are fairly strong from factory so they can handle a decent amount of boost without pulling them apart.
We obviously went overboard with a completely built engine/head and barely pushed the limits of the build. We did a write up of all the parts we used, so it might be useful for you to see what went into the car so you can start to price it up yourself. Everything we put into the car you can get from our website and we're always happy to help/recommend parts for you.

How much power can you get out of a v8
How deep are your pockets?
Damn your channel is so underrated!! How many miles did the car have
Hey mate, thanks for watching. We really appreciate it.
From memory, it was about 210,000kms (130,000 miles) on the chassis when we decided to pull it apart. We basically changed/replaced everything there was on the car and handed it over to the winner with about 1,500kms (930 miles) on the clock.
Its make this can this pass the smog test
i’m getting my moms old gs 300 and it needs a complete under the hood fix up. any tips for a beginner? it’s a 2004 gs300
Hey mate,
It really depends on what you want to do or achieve with it. Normally we'd recommend starting with a basic service and a compression test to get an idea of where the car is at. They are getting on with age so if you plan to modify it we'd normally start with putting a new fuel pump in it and getting the injectors cleaned or upgrade them to suit other modifications you may make down the track. This will ensure the car is getting a good source of fuel which is always a plus, especially if you want to turbocharge it.
Another thing worth looking at is all of the suspension/bushings. Obviously with age these parts do wear out and severely affect handling. Bushings aren't the funnest thing to do but honestly make a massive difference when they are all brand new.
Just start small and work your way up with what you're comfortable with. Learning to work on your own car will save you money and you'll know more about the vehicle if something goes wrong in future.
Brilliant video, is this built on a 2JZ GE block ?
Yeah man, it sure is :)
Does the same thing work for a gs400 ?
Hey there, thanks for watching.
The GS400's have a different engine as far as we are aware, so you could do something similar but would require different parts to do so. Pretty much any car can be built to 700hp if you have the funds and know the right people!
What all parts you changed
Hey mate, thanks for watching.
We've got a full build list on our website here: fafauto.com/blogs/news/700hp-lexus-gs300-build-thread
Anyone knows the first song name?
Amazing build what kind of gear is it
Hey, thanks for watching.
The full build list is on our website here:
fafauto.com/blogs/news/700hp-lexus-gs300-build-thread
All of the gear we sell through our site which is a mix of USA, Australian and Japanese made goodies.
Can you guys please post the parts list ,as i am making fuel return system and not sure on lengths and hose diameter.Looking to make 600hp on my gs
Hey mate, we have a bit of a build list on our website:
fafauto.com/blogs/news/700hp-lexus-gs300-build-thread
It's got some information on the fuel system, but likely won't be everything you need. We made the fuel lines up ourselves with Aeroflow fittings and hose. We ended up with a fair few leftover fittings as you always tend to when making a custom setup.
Hope this helps.
Any tips to increase HP for the GE engine without boosting? I’m trying to make at least 300 hp without throwing in a turbo
Full bolt ons, Brian crower cams & a tune. Be lucky you get 265-275 Hp. Might well get you a 400 & 430.
where did you buy the exhaust
It was custom made
Perfection, should have kept the OEM head and tail lights over the ebay ones though
These ones were pretty cool, from a brand called Anzo!
@@giorgionicola I’m OEM when it comes to lights. Always feels like a beginners first mod. They aren’t offensive though
Very nice build what transmission did you use thank you .
Hey Leon, thanks for watching.
We used a Turbo 400 automatic gearbox for this car, which is a 3 speed. We had it setup as a manualised auto, so you still need to yank the B&M shifter to change gear. It was the ultimate setup for a street cruiser and put the power down extremely well.
@@giorgionicola do those boxes bolt up to the 2jzgte
Stock auto trans?
Hey there, thanks for watching.
This car we ran a Turbo400 which we had to have adapted to the 2JZ bellhousing. Maximum cruising abilities while being able to put the power down excellently.
what wheels are those?
Work Wheels D9rs
What wheels size and tire specs are those?
Hey mate, thanks for watching.
The wheels are 18x9.5 +12 fronts and 18x10.5 +12 rears. Tyres are 235/40 fronts and 265/35 rear.
Should i get one, my friend offering me one👀
I wonder how much it cost for this transformation
how much money would a build like this cost?
have a 98 GS300 with 60,000 kms on it, thinking of building.
Hey there, thanks for watching.
This build was well over $100k once we had completed it. We left no stone unturned and pretty much replaced/upgraded everything on the car.
nice car
Hey there, thanks for watching and glad you liked the build. We surely do miss having the car around.
My dream car I already have a 2004 Lexus Gs300, just not the money 😅
Hey Nicholas, thanks for watching!
Just start small and work your way up if you're keen to modify it. You can normally do a turbocharger kit without having to open up the standard engine which can save a fair bit of money!
Name of the headlights?
Anzo headlights
Where can I get them seat covers ?? 👍
Hey mate, they aren't seat covers. We had them completely reupholstered by a local company. You can watch the process in this episode here:
ruclips.net/video/xjSzn-TTNpA/видео.html
What's the name of the place you got the interior done at?
It is called Platinum Trimming
So I have a 92 Sc300 and I’m just curious if you switched heads with a gte
I want to get rid of that ugly throttle body on top on my 2jz-ge
Hey mate, appreciate you watching our video!
We used the original GE head, but had a fair bit of work done to it so it could flow more (cams, springs etc.).
We changed out the intake manfiold with a Plazmaman manifold and larger throttle body, which moves the throttle body to where pretty much where the GTE throttle body is. This was done because the manifold flows a lot more than stock and made intercooler piping much easier to fabricate.
Hope this helps.
hello i dont know if this alot to ask for but im soon to be getting a 1999 gs300 and im really new to cars i know some things but i really want to turbo it but i also dont want to spend the a heap amount i just want a fun fast street car and i was looking for a complete kit but i dont want 1 thats gonna break on me in a year it would be cool if you could help me out
Hey Zach, thanks for watching man! We really appreciate it.
It's a pretty involved process turbocharging a standard GS300, mainly because there's no complete kits you can purchase and bolt-on ready to go. A lot of the parts we used had to be modified or custom made to work (such as the intercooler piping, exhaust, intake etc.) properly together.
If you want to chat about it, get in touch with us via Facebook and we'd be happy to help.
Stock?!
Bobs burgers tune cars now…. Cool man 😎
What kost that built?
We spent well over $100,000 AUD on this build.
Step 1 Have money.
Step 2 Have capable mates.
Step 3 Have plenty of time and patience😂
Ooh I wish some help my like this
Who's shop is that? Do you guys own it or do you rent it? I've been trying to get me a space like that to work in myself.
Hey mate, we rent the workshop at the moment to run our online store and work on our own cars. The next move is to buy our own place.
Build the na 2j?
Yeah why not!
So If I take my completely stock 2jz-ge and put all the forged internals and racing internals, drop good valves on it, basically build it, will the block be able to hold all the power or is it determined by the internal parts? I want reliable power and I don't want to have my engine blow up, I also want like 500 hp but only access to 400 and be able to gradually up it. Plz help lol.
Yes that is correct.
This car looks so niiice can you tell me how much did it cost to build? I want to know how big my budget needs to be.
Hey mate, thanks for watching!
We put over $100k AUD into this car to get it to where it was. We basically modified or replaced almost all factory components so it was pretty much a brand new vehicle.
You could likely make similar power without having to go as nuts on the modifications, as the stock 2JZ can handle a reasonable amount of boost without opening it.
@@giorgionicola yeah I understand that, thank you! Your content is underrated but really well made.
Keep it up!
Is this doable with a GS400?
Of course 🙌
What is u r rim size?
Hey there. Thanks for watching!
The wheels are 18x9.5 +12 fronts and 18x10.5 +12 rears. Tyres are 235/40 fronts and 265/35 rear.

Ayo! when is the next video for the civic haha
Haha we're working on it man, just been a little busy of late! We've actually got two Civic builds in the works so keep your eye out.
This is a dream come true. I have a GS and really want to put some performance into to make it a sleeper. The 2JZGTE price increase due to COVID is nasty. This vid however game some hope! Hopefully I can get some things done to it!
Unfortunately all old school Japanese engines are starting to increase in price. We've seen it in Australia recently and it's getting hard to justify swapping engine these days. Unless you're looking at a K-swap, they are still cheap and a great engine.
@@giorgionicola exactly. In the US, the engines were going for $3500 pre COVID. Now they're around $7000 and few things on the Lexus are cheap to fix or replace as is
Watching this before breaking into my Gs300 due to keys locked in
Haha the joys of having an older car without keyless entry... Story of our lives!
@@giorgionicola bought an air bladder $20, a plastic wedge in the chainsaw section $5, and thin metal stick $4. Problem solved.
My 99 GS300 has 261,000 miles on it, still runs like new!!!
What is a total cost for those modifications ?....
30k ? 40K ? Or may be much more plus ?
We spent over 100k AUD on this build.
Chris York..
Was this a music video or a fashion shoot?
Bit of everything really!
How much for this build
Hey there, thanks for watching. We spent well over $100k AUD on this build.
