Bro, you are literally a pioneer in the IS300 world. I've seen maybe 3 IS300s with ITBs, and that's only in the last 2 years because before that there were NONE. AND yours is the first video of one I can find. PLEASE show us more along the way, I wanna know EVERYTHING.
Appreciate the kind words man, I'll have more updates as soon as I get some bugs sorted. I'm no pioneer though, all of the engineering credit goes to xcessive manufacturing. I'm just fortunate enough to test new products and be involved
@rybhugo I can't honestly say what the total price comes out to, it's been a long process of putting parts together/making parts. I would ballpark near what it would cost to put together a decent quality turbo kit. So if big power gains are what you're after, ITBs definitely aren't what I would recommend. But it does make changing the oil and doing your spark plugs a lot quicker 🤣
pioneer? but of what or in what? I'm sure you're 18 or something, the sxe10 platform is being modified at high levels since before this guy was licensed 😂
In the market for an IS300 soon. Keeping a close eye on this as I'd like to stay NA. I added excessive manufacturing's website to the favorites and subscribed to your channel. I'll check their website from time to time for any updates. I hope you'll consider doing a few WOT video's once everything is sorted and mount the camera/mic near the ITB's as well. So awesome. Thanks for sharing this.
Do you have any updates? Love walk through of the transmission and what it took to make everything fit. Of course the ITB system as well with filters and all the info about that. :-)
I dont even have a IS, but ive wanted one for a long time. Ive gotten an E90 3 Series since i had the chance and this is inspiration. Im thinking of doing an n/a build with it, and maybe a supercharger later. I want to experience n/a though for a bit.
Pros: they are a dime a dozen to find at junkyards, I used car-part.com to find mine locally. They're going for $250-$350, which is a fraction of what you'll find for a w5x. The gearing pairs well with the IS300 rear ends, and if you swap the FRS rear end, then it makes for a perfect combination. They can take the same amount of torque that a w5x will handle, which makes it a great candidate for an NA setup. The 6th gear should improve MPGs as well. The shifter feels really smooth, though I will admit a w5x with the stock IS300 shifter is hard to beat as far as how smooth the throw is. Cons: it is not a native transmission to the IS300, so there are some things that have to be done to make it all work. There are 2 ears cast on the sides of the bellhousing where the FRS/BRZ starters would mount. They interfere with the trans tunnel, so some clearancing was required. The factory external slave/shift fork are located at the top of the bellhousing, which will not work either. So Xcessive Mfg designed an adapter kit to convert to a hydraulic slave cylinder. I will continue in the next post.
The cool part about this swap is how Xcessive has a clutch kit option to adapt to the single mass 2J flywheel or an FRS clutch/flywheel/pressure plate. So there are options depending on where you're starting from, whether you're converting from w5x to TL70 or swapping from auto to manual. I would recommend this swap if you're planning to go auto to manual because there are expenses that will be made regardless of which route you take. Those being: clutch/flywheel/pressure plate, driveline, clutch pedal kit, hydraulic lines and fittings, master cylinder, shifter. All of these can be conveniently sourced through Xcessive if you were to opt for this swap, or a w5x swap for that matter as well. So really all you have to source on your own is the transmission, which brings me back to why I would recommend a TL70. They are a lot easier to come by, and they cost about 1/3 of the price of a w5x. You're getting a 6 speed transmission, newer tech, and less mileage effectively cheaper than a w5x swap unless you come across a killer deal on a manual IS part out locally.
@@madchyers5416 This is excellent information. Thank you so much for the detailed explanation. I'll be saving a screen shot of this for future reference. Looking forward to your future videos with the ITB setup as well. 🤘
Yes I'm running a pnp Link G4+ ECU with a custom made wire harness, there's no other way you'll get the ITBs to run right without proper standalone engine management.
Subscribed! Should do a dyno on it and as many other videos on this as possible lol I have an IS I wanna run ITBs on but there’s not much information for ITBs on a jz
@kevincorrea3563 honestly the throttles that replaced the single throttle body might outweigh the stock throttle body. Dyno video hopefully coming soon. I haven't had much time to touch this thing in months.
I'd like to do this to my gs300 someday. To run itb's though, do you have to run an aftermarket ECU? I know there are some guys in Russia, Tuning/Re-mapping ECU's for 01+ Toyota/Lexus'. The only build info i've really seen online for an n/a 2j is Brendan Taft's build (NA HERO). Great looking and great sounding car you have there 🤙
Thanks man, yeah you will 100% need to run a standalone computer. The stock ecu will not be able to control ITBs, even with a re-map. There is no MAF sensor with an ITB setup, so the mapping is controlled thru throttle position/rpm (alpha N).
Ive been planning on this for sometime, there arent many companies that make itbs for this motor so ive been struggling with that as well as deciding on which stand alone to run with the setup. Id really like to pick your brain about what youve done with yours if you dont mind. The car looks and sounds great.
You'll need a standalone, and a good tuner, that can use alpha N tuning (throttle position) instead of most traditional tuning strategies using speed density (MAP). I have Link G4+ in this car. There was a lot of work that went into the kit and making everything fit right, as well as sacrificing some creature comforts like AC. I have a friend who was able to keep AC but he had to have custom lines and fittings made to fit without interfering with the throttles.
Are you using an O2 SIM for the header or is the standalone taking care of the codes that come up from it. Did you leave the motor stock as well? Or did you upgrade any internals? I see what you meant about the a/c it looks like you left the condenser attached but not hooked up that way you weren't dealing with finding a belt that would work with the different length.
@kaylabeitz1464 there aren't any check engine lights, the Link ECU replaces the factory computer. The Link will throw check engine lights if there are any faults. No o2 Sim required, no o2 sensors required, I am running a wideband gauge as well as having it wired to the Link so it can monitor AFR. I don't have the condenser or the AC motor in the car, im running Xcessives PS brace/AC delete kit with a shorter belt. This motor is an unopened stock vvti 2jz.
I've been looking to ITB my personal IS and I have a list of parts down but I'm sure I'm missing something: So I've got the ITB kit i want to run itself, 2.5 inch diameter fig headers, custom catless midpipe since I couldn't find a branded one I liked, I already have a Tanabe Medallion Touring S catback on it, I'm looking at fueling mods like bosch 440cc injectors, a flex fuel kit (just bc e85 is readily available around me and I wanted to give it a shot), a SPEC stage 2 street clutch, Brian Crower spec 264 stage 2 cams, I've budgeted for whatever ECU a prospective tuner would feel most comfortable running, budgeted for a clutch safety bypass to prevent crankwalking (probably unnecessary since the clutch isn't so so aggressive and the car shouldn't be pushing a ton of power, but better safe than sorry imo), and I have a catch can in mind for the chance that I end up getting a lot of blow-by. Is there anything I'm missing still? Thx.
The bottom end is unopened. I had the same setup on a high compression build and it made the same power as the stock bottom end. I think the cams are the limiting factor, and would make the most difference. High compression with more lift/duration would probably really wake this motor up. I'm planning to install BC 264/264 on this current set up and see what happens.
It feels great, currently stock IS300 LSD rear end but I'd like to eventually swap to FRS/BRZ rear end to make it a perfectly matched gear ratio combo.

Not really, 2jz's actually run quite cool compared to today's standards.

Beautiful setup. Still looking for parts to ITB. Keep the vids coming!

sounds fucking great
Sounds great, fitment is also extra mccrispy

Waiting on an update, your setup is something id like to do too
Did you have to get a standalone to run the itbs?
Honestly I’d love to know aswell if your speaking ECU , not fuel system
Yes I'm running a pnp Link G4+ ECU with a custom made wire harness, there's no other way you'll get the ITBs to run right without proper standalone engine management.

Also looks like there’d be some weight savings just by going with ITBs would be interesting to know how much weight you saved
@kevincorrea3563 I think the weight saving is negligible, the stock intake manifold is aluminum and the airbox is plastic
@@madchyers5416 the stock TB kinda heavy too though. Any chance we’ll see a dyno run?
