Re: Project Lex

All I bought was a chinabay 6 puck disk, reused stock pressure plate. Just a cheapo setup because this tranny can't take too much power anyway. The clutch is already pretty close to its limit. It's a good thing really cuz it helps prevent me from running enough power to grenade the stock tranny.

Re: Project Lex

Well the wedding is over, and the new house is built. Still have a lot of crap on my plate but hopefully can start to tinker on the car a little bit now.

So since I've been stuck in North Carolina for the last week, I've had a lot of time to think about what I want to do next. What I've decided is I'm currently real happy with the way the car is running, and still fairly satisfied with it's current power level. So rather than spend a bunch of money to make it faster, I've decided I'm going to instead start working on its appearance. So I started looking at numerous pictures to basically find a setup I like and to try and copy. I want it to look nice, yet still keep it simple clean and well fitting, nothing over the top. So with that being said, here's what I've decided on.

- OEM 97+ side skirts and rear bumper.
- WISE front lip on my 92 front bumper.
- Trunk lip spoiler
- Paint Job (same color, or maybe 1 shade darker)

Here's a pic of the car I'm basically copying.





Couple other cars with same lip and similar look I'm going for:

Re: Project Lex

I'm not going to be the best one to talk about MS to, I struggled to get it going on this car and I still don't understand a lot of it. Tachyon on here probably knows much more than me.

You'll see the first run was at about 339hp. Shane did his thing, 2nd run we were already up nearly 50hp. A handful of more pulls and we stopped it at 406hp which far exceeded my expectations (I was thinking more like 360). This is on straight WG boost, no boost controller. You can see how soft boost comes on with this WG. I thought it was a 1bar spring but maybe it's more like a 10lb. Will have to look into swapping that out this winter.

I can't thank Shane enough, I'm very happy with the entire experience (as always). One thing you'll notice is a random blip in the curve at around 3500rpm. It would occasionally miss at that spot very slightly. Not exactly sure why but not that worried about it either.

So I've attached the 3 charts (HP vs. Boost vs. TQ vs. AFR). Creeps up to about 12psi at the end.

Also attached is a little video. Thanks to Kerry for taking some good footage at the dyno, enjoy!!

Re: Project Lex

Got a set of FD rims for $150 that will be used for my drag setup. They are the lighter (non-reinforced) version which should make for a pretty nice poor man's drag setup. Apparently they weigh 13.8lbs each (15.2 if they were the reinforced). Will eventually get some slicks mounted on them. Thanks for the rims Nick (Cornfed2.4).


Here's a pic of Supra who used these for a poor man's drag setup.

Re: Project Lex

Small update.

Was bored last night so decided to install the 2nd 255hp. Everything appears to be working fine, and fits great. The Y that I bought, not really liking it because my hoses had to go all loopy just to ensure no kinks. So will probably rework it this winter.

Also went over to Kerry's today to swap springs with him. Suspension is now stock Supra springs all around, with some new Bilstein shocks. It's known as an excellent poor mans suspension setup for an SC. Car sits a little higher than it used to now (had eibachs before), but about 1" lower than stock. Should be perfect once I get some side skirts and lips put on the bumpers. Also leaves room for some more rubber. Car feels like a "Lexus" now with this suspension, I'm loving it so far. The old shocks were trash.
