TURBOCHARGING MY IS200! (1GFE+T) My Budget Drift Car
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 май 2024
- In this video i cover everything needed to turbocharge and tune my is200 powered by humble 1GFE. The setup on this car is very simple and a little messy, it definitely will be seeing some upgrades in the aesthetics department in the near future for sure.
WANT TO LEARN TO TUNE? Since this video has gone out High Performance Academy have been nice enough to reach out and offer to work with me! I am incredibly stoked about this opportunity to work with a brand that I've used and believed in for YEARS. I learnt to tune solely through HPA tuning courses from only knowing the basics to now being able to tune a car fully and confidently as you saw in this video.

Unbelievably helpful man
I’ve been very on the fence about boosting my 200. But this video has pretty much convinced me 😅
Love to hear it mate, thanks for the comment and positive feedback it’s much appreciated! Glad I could provide some value to your day 🙂
just knowing that ill hear suuutuuuutuuuu is all i need too convince me
@@FFL_ERROR it’s a light flutter at the moment but a dose pipe is in the making, hopefully be allot louder in the coming videos 😌
I’m shocked you have under 1k subscribers. Great quality informative video
Only just started uploading somewhat regularly, lots more content to come! Thanks so much for the kind words much appreciated 😊😊
Can't belive you have less than 1K Subs,
I Absolutely LOVED this SUBSCRIBED!
I was worried about boosting my IS200 especially since it's AUTO (daily)(cope)
But after watching this vid I'm convinced it's worth the try even if the box can't handle it.
Keep up the quality content & can't wait to see more videos on the 200.
Thanks for the nice comment, much appreciated and all the best with your build 🙂
Little low on power but still love to build. Got my tuned on td04hl-15t (volvo turbine) blowing ~0.6bar running LPG, 0.6b at ~3k rpm not to bend rods. Powerwise it showed 240bhp on wheels and 300nm torque. similar power on 98PB as on 95PB got little bit of knocking at top rpms. Stock internals, only injectors and fuel pomp replaced. Been using DET3 in piggy mode to tune. If you decompress the engine you can push 300+ bhps on stock internals but expect big turbolag.
Thank you so much for this! I’ve been wanting to boost my is200 for ages and this takes so much of the guesswork and searching for info out of it. 🙏🙏🙏
You’re welcome, any questions feel free to ask and I’ll do my absolute best to assist
Great video brother! Loved watching this project!
Thanks so much! More content on this one coming very soon!
Awesome video mate ! I've considering boosting my is200 and this is very helpful
Thank you for the kind words/comment! 🙂 glad I could help
i've got myself an is200 with the 1G-FE which im currently rebuilding and planning on turboing later. Seriously great informative content brother! Definitely will be sticking around to see the lexus progress
@@brunzu6079 Thanks for the comment! Check out the latest video I dabble with some suspension stuff and take the Lexus drifting. Wish you the best of luck with your build 🙂
Great video bruz!
Cheers g, appreciate the comment 🤝🙂
Fantastic video mate
@@bookie7lovemyself702 thank you! Appreciate the comment 🤝
such a dope vid just come across this channel but so good
Thanks so much, appreciate your comment 🙂
Just gained a follower man mint video
Thank you mate 🤝🙂
love the video man, im in the market for an is200 im so excited to mod it
@@Vasxnt Thanks for the kind words and good luck with the mods!
DOPE ASS VID IM KINDA INVESTED NOW
Thank you so much! filming more content on this car this week 🙂
Love it
Thank you 🙂
Its pretty weird you get only 119hp on stock engine. It should have 152 from factory so i was expecting somethink like 140 or 130 because of the engine is old. Still really impressive love this video and planing to also buy is 200. Im interested to see more videos about it.
Love this bro👌 i myself in NZ turboed my 1gfe is200, made 180kw/240hp atw but am limited by the stock & tired clutch and flywheel (200,000+kms😅) i have a new hd clutch kit to go in now haha, and its on a full standalone maxx ecu, no stock ecu piggybacked👌
Maxx ecu is fantastic and I am hoping to run their “race” ecu on my roll racing/drag racing civic build coming up
I ended up going with a 6puck clutch from extreme as unfortunately the heavy duty I installed in this video didn’t hold up to the task after some drifting do you still have the oem functions of the dash/ac controls etc??
@@Racelab_video yeah i have the maxx race in my is200, and same, have a xtreme 6puk w/smf to go in when i find time and energy to do so haha, and yep all my dash and a/c still work, i have a little mpx box or something like that that allows the dash and all that too work without having the stock ecu. I have followed you on instagram :)
@@darnellpoutai-teawa7276 oh that’s a very cool thing I may DM you on instagram to see what the dash module setup is like, would be very cool to get it running full standalone, would be able to clean up the engine bay heaps with no stock loom/ecu
@@Racelab_video yeah thats algood bro, and yeah relocated to passenger footwell/glovebox, next step after the clutch is to put my ffp ali intake manifold on👀
yay finally someone professional turboing a is^^ are the hp at the wheels or crank? mine made 240hp on the crank und somewhere 180hp on the wheels with 0,6 bar
Appreciate the kind words, I’m just a mechanic by trade who learnt to tune don’t know if I’d say I’m a professional but thank you very much 🙂The power figure shown in the video is power to the hubs (201.3hp at the hubs on a t28 at 7psi and e85)
post more of the build😍
More content on this car coming very soon 🙂
Thank you very much for this video, I just finished my is200 supercharged project, went true all upgrades (clutch, lightweight flywheel, pump, pressure sensor, "black box" you name it, but I still run a stock ECU - as advised by "Rank One Performance" - they say that's safer to use stock ECU rather "Haltech" and blow up engine. I don't know who is right or wrong, I would like 3 fuel maps loaded to chose from. Thanks
Thank you for viewing 🙂 Simply running a haltech will not “blow up the engine” the only thing that would cause that would be if the tuner did a poor job at tuning the engine. There’s nothing wrong with running a stock ecu on a low boost setup using the “rank one” turbo kit however there is no ability to make adjustments to the tune or power output on a stock ecu so it is a very limited setup, with a properly tuned engine a standalone ecu is a much better option in my opinion. Best of luck with your build 🙂 thanks for the comment
Chuck a decompression plate in it and whack it up a bit more, good work mind
I will be turning up the power a little in a future video! 🙂
Randomly popped up on my feed, and now I’m hooked 🫡
Glad to hear it!
Hey mate
Where can you link uo where you purchase the tufbo kit from??
Would be great to know what manifolds were used to make that home made turbo manifold
It’s a stock 1g flange from a standard set of headers with someone’s “custom fabrication” 🙂
112hp NA????? something wrong there my friend, it should have 155 stock. i went from 153 dyno NA to 220 turboed on first run back then when i did a turbo mod.
@@progunniedutchhd5310 Hey mate thanks for the comment 🙂 not necessarily anything wrong the engine is healthy and was bone stock. There are an immense amount of variables between brands of dynos and the figure they put out.
Mainline have been known to read lower compared to other brands, the output figure can also alter depending on the type of dyno (Load bearing vs Inertia) and the dyno/weather station settings (some dyno’s also display a calculated engine power/torque rather than displaying an at the wheels or hubs figure ignoring the power loss you see through the drivetrain).
For reference I tuned a friends SR20 that was tuned previously by another tuner on a different dyno and it made around 310hp at the wheels but with 0 changes to the tune on my first ramp run to get a baseline his car made 260hp at the hubs on the mainline dyno in this video, I was able to make an approximate gain of 20hp/tq on his car with some fine tuning so theoretically his car would make 330hp on the original dyno.
Lots of variables between dynos and shops unfortunately not making it easy to compare.
Great video man , how do rekon the UK style 1zz and fuel cut defender style turbo kit would be comparatively ?
@@nate-tz8sx Thank you very much, not sure what aspect you want me to compare but considering a fuel cut defender simply tricks a stock ecu vs a standalone style unit having full control of the engine operation like in my car tuneability is next to none on the defender setup. I can’t really speak against reliability on the defender style way, it seems to be popular but “is it reliable” is hard to answer as there are so many variables like turbo size/what fuel the car is running, intercooler setup, boost level how healthy the engine is or isn’t etc. For me personally running a standalone style setup in either piggyback formation or wiring the car to be run completely on a standalone ecu is the way to go. The more control I have of engine operation the better in my opinion (so far my car and tune has proven to be incredibly reliable) Thanks for commenting! 🙂
Cheers for the reply dude
Sheesh bro
If i want to turbo my auto is200， which gearbox is better to swap? The j160 or the w58?
Unfortunately I’m not too familiar with the w58 but I do have a friend who doesn’t like the shift feel of the w58 vs j160 and so far the j160 is proving to be plenty strong enough for a turbo 1g and shifts fine, I do run a pretty aggressive 6 puck clutch as well and am yet to have issues (have upgraded clutches since this video)
great!
have you done anything to the throttlebody? i had a "blackbox" on my is200 turbo but the throttlebody destroyd all the fun. :)
Completely forgot to mention I already have done the throttle body mod before I turbocharged it deleted the electric control and welded the actuator together so the foot pedal has a direct correlation with the butterfly valve.
@@Racelab_video very helpful video. will you make a video, how to mod the throttlebody?
@@KTchannelKT I have 2 spare throttle bodies so I may be able to do that yeah
Do you have any idea what that wing is called. I have the same one but my brakelight is in a 1000 pieces 😂
Unfortunately don’t know if it has a specific name I believe it’s just the oem sport wing
Is the piggyback ecu necessary?
@@parallax5182 necessary if you wish the engine to be tuneable, there are some turbo kits you can buy that say you can run stock ecu but that is a very limited setup and there’s no going up in boost or turbo size if you want to change later. I personally prefer a tuneable ecu
cool video, is your engine in good shape? I make similar power with 5 psi of boost, I'm also on stock injectors and fuel pump.
Never compression tested it, but it’s not a rattly or Smokey engine and so far has treated me well being driven hard every time I drive it so can’t complain. I definitely played it safe with ignition timing as I’m not too familiar with how strong the rods and pistons are, but I do know some other people pushing more power than me on stock internals and seem to have no issues 🙂
Nice vid Racelab, very informative. I have a an is200 wanting to turbo it but my cylinders 4 & 5 have low compression. I've been told to solve this before installing a turbo. So was this something to consider before you did the build?
@@Racelab_video I'd say 9-10 psi is the limit for these engines if you wanna keep it safe and reliable, they're paper thin and you'll bend the rods easily.
But they are pretty good if you reduce the CR and build a forged bottom end.
@@SERP92_ absolutely keeping the boost lower will be a way to keep it safe you’re right, but there are few factors go into it not just how much boost is produced, turbo size as well as ignition advance and cylinder temperature all play a big role in how reliable a setup can be 🙂 I plan on making another video on the dyno and going through a bunch of things as well as turning up the power 🙂
Yes have seen allot of people in European countries having allot of success with those decomp plates definitely a way to help reliability by reducing cylinder pressure, it may be something I check out sometime in the future 🤔
Thanks for your comment! 🙂
@Racelab_video No problem dude! I don't know a lot, but I do know a lot of people in Europe and Poland that have boosted these 1GFE engine's and had great results, If you ever have a question or something your wondering about shoot me a message, I can ask them!
how come n/a power was so low? or was it power to the wheels
This dyno measures power at the hubs not calculated power at the engine like some other dynos 🙂 power measured at the wheels and or hubs is always lower than flywheel horsepower due to parasitic loss (fancy way of saying you loose some power through the drivetrain due to friction and effort required to turn those components before it’s measured at the hubs and or wheels) 🙂
@@Racelab_video thought so, thanks
@@rcon777 thanks for your comment :)
And where did u order it
@@leonalbertini883 depending on your location in the world there’s lots of retailers that would be able to order in a single mass flywheel for you…. I’m in Australia so somewhere like an autobarn/supercheap auto or repco (any auto parts store realistically should be able to order it in)
Exedy part number for single mass flywheel conversion with heavy duty clutch kit LEK-7463SMFHD
Iv always been told 1gfe’s are turds bro have you opened it up at all or just sending it?
Haven’t opened it up at all only what you see in this video so just sending a stock long block. The 1gfe was definitely not made with airflow and performance as a priority and definitely aren’t the strongest but that’s why I kept the turbo small and boost low, it was fairly cheap to almost double my horsepower it serves well as a budget drift car. I took this car drifting and used next to no tyres and not very much fuel considering other cars I’ve drifted
Yow what fly wheel is dat
@@leonalbertini883 exedy single mass flywheel
where are you located?
Brisbane, Australia
How’s it holding up?
Very well, done 1 event + lots of closed road pulls * all legal of course * and she’s still very happy even with almost 300,000km on the odometer, starts first time everytime
U said the haltech now controls the TPS, does that mean it overrides the stupid a** stock "smoothdrive" electrically controlled TPS that does not follow the pedal and cable, but is controlled by the ECU (unless u block it by disassembeling some parts inside it)
Apologies for not mentioning the throttle body in detail in the video, but previously to installing the turbo and haltech I installed a modified throttle body to delete the electronic control and get a direct relationship between the foot pedal and the butterfly valve
@@Racelab_video Ah, thought so! Alot of ppl never touch it, and it is a big difference! Some ppl use zenki gx100 1gfe tb's and some modify them, which is quite easy to do, if u do it smart u can reverse it to get rid of the check engine light too (for inspection) but yeah FFUKKK Toyota for leaving us with that BS even on the SPORT version of the IS200... >_
@@kingnorlen it does make quite the difference to throttle response for sure! To Toyotas credit it was one of their first production attempts at a drive by wire style TB, and to its credit it worked flawlessly for providing a perfect idle no matter the conditions but the delay in response is atrocious. Luckily it’s deleted in my case
@@Racelab_video Yeah, but since Toyota actually had the guy who was responsible for the AE86 to make a "new affodrable sports sedan" that carried the same type of soul (altho the 1gfe clearly is NOT what he cared about, and was strictly a Toyota corporatedecision for the EU market) its kind of embarrasing tbh. I dont know if u guys also had the IS200 Sport? The ONLY difference from a regular GXE10 is that the LSD is standard, and its got a bit shorter final drive, and thats it xD Still slow as fuaaark lol
@@kingnorlen ahahaha yes unfortunately it is miserably slow from factory, Toyota did drop the ball a little there 😂
i have a 1gfe in my cressida i was gonna engine swap but if i can i wanna slap a turbo in mine
Turbo 1g is definitely a fun option and if you are able to do allot of the work yourself it’s likely allot cheaper than an engine swap
@@Racelab_video i have a chinese spooly boi (td04) in my garage rn, i also have an intercooler, boost gauge, and boost controller ready haha all i need is exhaust manifold and maybe put either a piggyback ecu or fuel cut defender
@@eresuplays most of the way there, hope it all goes well! 🙂
isnt the 1gfe have 155 hp stock??
@@xxSunShine Yes, however when manufacturers list the power output it’s typically “flywheel hp” where there is no loss in power through the drivetrain, the dyno in this video measures power output at the hubs. Typically the rough rule of thumb is you experience approximately 15-20% drivetrain loss which puts the Lexus right around that 120-130hp at the wheels mark and I was just shy of that at 112-118 on a hot day
@@xxSunShine Thanks for commenting 🙂
is this reliable
Also I know where that shop is do you know anyone who can do it
I have not run into any issues so far, the reliability of turbo charging a 1gfe would come down to how much power you’re trying to get and how good the tune is…. So far the car has proved to be very reliable and it gets driven very hard
@@RICHYSUNCLE I used to work at the shop in this video, I believe it is unlikely that they would want to do it as the main focus is auto transmission swaps now. However you could always ask. Although pre warning going through any shop (not just this one) will likely be pretty expensive due to labour costs, something I did not have to worry about as I did the work myself 🙂
110hp from a straight six is criminally low
Hahaha it’s pretty bad, very small cams and the head/intake manifold design isn’t really designed for amazing peak power/torque but a turbo definitely wakes it up 😅
I mean there fews in the uk that made 480hp from a stock 1g internals and it still run and drives sweet as hasn’t blown the engine up or anything still driving it after 5months
@@Racelab_video bro i own both a 1gfe and 3s altezza and let me tell you, in those older forums the 1g owners would swear up and down that the 1g has more tq than the 3s because its a 6 cylinder and i would laugh everytime
@@divin3kag3242unfortunately not everyone understands what power and torque actually is and in allot of cases just think more cylinders guarantees more power/torque but there’s allot that goes into the equation. The humble 1g was definitely built for hairdressers and business people with 0 desire to go fast 😂
@@divin3kag3242same peak torque just less hp
