Default 2001 lexus is300 please help!!

i bought your kit about 2 years ago, nothing but problems. i rebuild the motor last year due to a blown rod, now i have eagle rods and pistons 10:1. the new motor has been in for about 3 months now, and cant get it run correct. my main problem is that i cant get on it without blowing an intercooler pipe. the kit i have, has 2"piping. i ve been told that this is the problem and go to 3". is this true? im only running about 6-7 psi. i was pondering the idea to get all t-clamps for piping to replace the hose clamps that were included with it. will this help?


all i want to do is put the pedal all the way down to see what shes got!!!! haven't done it yet been 2 years!!!!!!!

i can accelerate at a slow pace up to about 4,500-5,000 without any problems, I WANT TO SEE IT AT 7,000-7,500 were the horsepower is!

Turbonetics swtiched over to t clamps a bit ago to remedy issues with couplers blowing off. I would definitely start there.

The only thing I can think of they might have changed is the exhaust piping to use v band clamps. Aside from that probably not.

The set up you have is how the kit was designed. The replaced factory ones for 380cc injectors was done for the 350Z, IS300, and some other kits but they were designed to do that. Your kit was designed to utilize auxillary injectors.
