what are you plans for the heater lines? being so close to the dump and all the right angles. are you planning to make a heat shroud? or anything near the wastegate dump? concerned about anything done there getting hot?
The down pipe will be heat wrapped and then I'll also modify the heater core hoses by trimming the bottom hose which gives it a better angle away from the exhaust and also I will probably end up tweaking that lower coolant pipe inlet over as well. It worked perfect on my last IS build
I’m currently working on a slightly similar setup. Would you mind explaining the benefit to running an IACV, is it possible to run the car without one?
Yes you can run without one it can just be hard to get it started in coldweather/when the engine is cold. An IACV will adjust air accordingly and it will get the engine to idle higher when the engine is cold and slowly taper the idle down as it warms up. With a car running E85 its a big benefit because they can have hard times starting even when it's in warmer weather.
Have you ever considered building a series hybrid similar to the Fisker? They used a weak GM gas engine and an over powered EV motor and got around 25 mpg. I want to convert my 06 trailblazer into the same concept. Add a generator to my engine and disconnect it from the transmission. Gen charges 6 batteries in parallel and a power inverter?? Have that run an EV motor to my rear axle. Do you think this is possible? Could I achieve this same goal by adding dual alternators to my timing belt? Thanks for your time! You make impressive content.
I've actually considered building a full EV back in the day, I was going to one with a Toyota MR2 chassis, I Work on electric forklifts often so I'm familiar with high power dc and ac motors, building a hybrid would be cool and yes I think what you want to do would definitely be possible. I was going to something along the lines of a "tesla generator" on the EV I wanted to build.
@@LakeBuilt oh man that would have been awesome. I’m shocked I can’t find an anyone who’s made a series hybrid. Generators are fuel efficient. EV motors are extremely powerful. This set up would require less batteries. Mazda has made a $60k one. Fisker has new ones coming out for $40k. It would be sick if some pulled this off with a used suv
Depends, a full build like this can get a little pricey as there is a lot of little stuff that has to be done to support the bigger "mods" the labor side is close to $15k
@@LakeBuilt Ok... Don't mean to bug you lol. But since I'm here. I don't like chop, are bigger cams necessarily needed for say around 500-550hp but built to handle more?
@804MRMAN you're good! You can hit around 600whp on stock cams no problem, bigger cams just get you more flow meaning more power potential, I actually am running bc 264 cams on my personal car, (car was in a front end accident but going to be swapping the drive train over to another is300) and there's very minimal chop sound. I like the 264 cams because they produce good low end torque while still providing top end potential. My car was making around 700-750whp before the accident, it was a wild ride lol
Nice one bro mega like 👍

If you don’t mind me asking how much are you charging for the labor to do all of this .?

Do you think ac would work with this intake manifold?
Yes a/c lines work with this manifold, have to tweak the lines slightly but they fit
Nice work.!!!! What exhaust manifold you are using ?
Thanks! This one is a SPA manifold, pretty good quality just have to use shorty studs
Look really nice.!!! Where u located.??
@@300zx-jdmjdm8 Thank you! I'm in Colorado
Any boost creeps with the single wg on high boost.?
@@300zx-jdmjdm8 I was running the same Tial mvr wastegate on my car and was able to hold a steady 15psi when I was breaking in the engine
Hello I was watching your MR2 with Honda ECU is it posible for you to help
Me do that what parts I’m going to need
Hey, yeah dm me on Instagram @lakebuilt
Good morning I don’t have instagram
Is there any other way we can talk
@@josemiranda7970 email me, alake2244@gmail.com
I just email you
What kind of alternator is that ? I’ve got my battery swap to the rear.
This is an RZ alternator. They make some high quality stuff, I use their alternators often
@@LakeBuilt part number on it? anything to mod? plugs? or lugs obviously a different belt
@thecookeman it's a direct replacement, same belt and all. You should be able to find the listing on ebay
How much do you charge for a customer build like this and also I love your welds
Depends on what exactly is getting done but on average its in the $15k area. And thank you!
@@LakeBuiltis that just performance parts or paint and everything?
@jomommafoldin3000 my labor and most performance parts. If I were to build the engine and have it machined it would cost additional.
What state are you in? ( nevermind I read your bio. Nice work! )
Thank you!
@@LakeBuilt That's a 2jzge vvti build?
@804MRMAN yes sir, 276 bc cams and forged bottom end, built to handle 1000whp +
