This Lexus GS300 returned to KMS Engine<\/a> in Poland for another dyno session. The sleeper is powered by a turbocharged Ford Barra<\/a> inline-six and 8HP70 eight-speed automatic transmission using a PMC Motorsport adapter<\/a>. Read more details on the engine setup in our previous article<\/a>. In the last dyno session the motor made 911 hp (670 kW) and 1006 Nm (741 lb-ft) of torque on E85 fuel and 1.4 bar (20.3 psi) of boost from a Garrett G42-1200 turbocharger. This session they increased the boost to 1.7 bar (24.6 psi) and made 1022 hp (751 kW) and 1160 Nm (855 lb-ft) of torque. Anymore boost and the 325\/30-19 tires slipped. The next step is a hub dyno. After KMS Engine maxes out the G42-1200 turbocharger they plan on swapping to a Pulsar PSR 8582G turbocharger. This turbo has the potential of making 1650 hp. <\/p>\n
