I personally wouldn’t want to put a turbo that low uncovered. Was there not room closer to the manifolds to squeeze one in? I have a ‘24 IS500 and I want to do a single turbo also but I don’t think I could handle the stress of it being located there.
@@kurtfehlman8403 no, there's zero room inside the engine bay to fit a turbo hence the location. But it does have a custom skid plate to protect the turbo from debris and water splash. If you check my IG you will see the plate, it's not in this video, I removed it so you could see the turbo setup.
The bonnet is already carbon fiber, I just painted it to match the car, I left the vents in carbon fiber if you look closely. I'm still actively looking for the matching seibon CF trunk.
Very curious though if 2 small turbos would fit where the primary cats are located because after market headers are huge why would turbos like a comp 565 would not work?
That area is too tight, you can barely fish the starter out with the factory headers installed. Also, turbo needs wastegate to limit boost, which means you'd have to fit the wastegates somewhere there also. It would be too congested, plus turbo maintenance would be a nightmare.
Hey bro, cool build but did you get a custom manifold or am i just really unknowledged on what and where you can place turbos. Ive been looking for manifolds all day and only see exhaust manifolds
Does it have the RCF engine and transmission, do you mind to share your build ? I really want to make my 08 ISF faster and i'm planing the custom turbo route, I hate RR supercharger kit. How much does it cost overall for the whole setup ? (If you want to share it with me of course)

Love how the turbo doesn't take away from the v8 sound
Thanks for showing this!

You are crazy😂 Love it
Carbon fiber bonnet n trunk would make this crazier ngl best isf hands down mad ting

@@jaMIKEca nice up the machine
Damn boy, that thing is fast. I want to boost my F more than ever now.
@@greebuh 🙏🏾
Who tuned this? I know RR Racing spent a significant amount of time cracking the ECU so you’ve got me wondering how you did this machine?
What if it rains? Will the turbo suck water in?
HELLO. HELLO. CAN YOU DESCRIBE THE MODIFICATIONS OF THE ENGINE BLOCK AND 2URGSE CYLINDER HEADS?PRESS?ELECTRONIC? ECU OEM ?
What happened to the isf with the rcf engine??
I sold it to my homie, he lives close to me so we hangout and often cruise together to car events.
Good morning.
I've owned a Lexus IS-F for over 10 years, and it's a great car that I never get tired of. ^^ I enjoyed watching it. (lol)ターボ良いね＾＾👍😊

It probably could but you'd be putting alot of heat on the trans case and the chare pipping

@@jaMIKEca dang i think that bcaz these cars came with v6 its easy but put a v8 in no space
@@muffinlion6299ok
Is this stock transmission brother ??
Yes stock trans, no modifications or tune.

@@apexiixx3945 the exhaust was modified to fit the turbo, it's custom fabrication.
@@apexiixx3945 you don't need to put a turbo on an exhaust manifold
@@jaMIKEca ohh ok also else can it be be put??
@@apexiixx3945u could put it in place of the stock mufflers, or in the trunk.
@@jaMIKEcaWhat shop did the work?

Any transmission upgrades? Are the syliniods replaced ?
@@eloytaft143 the transmission is completely stock, zero issues with it.
@@jaMIKEca 6 speed ?
@@eloytaft143world first 8 speed
AA80
damn that shii moves
Finally
The turbo is oil less?
@@Cool4.6 yes!
@@jaMIKEca nice, have you had long? Or is this video when it was installed?
Holy shit
Holy fuck
Yamaha motor 👍🏼

Nice!!! DMed you on Instagram!

@@kurtfehlman8403 the turbo is covered. Check my Instagram for pics. It's just not covered here for the video.
