Hi there im new to the Lexus thing im going to be getting an IS S soon and would like to know how i would go about turboing one what i would need and from who also a ruf idea of money

Alrite mate,

You could be best going to the Prolex uk website and sending him a message.

He does a turbo kit for the Is200,

As for cost, it depends what you want and how much power, but your looking at a couple of Grand at least, plus a lot of time.

Stav

Hi welcome to loc mate turbo, well if you fitting yourself about 3k using new parts, fitted about 4k you should be ok for 240 ish bhp, if you wanting more you need to sort the standard engine ( rods + pistons )

Looking to get about 210 ish iv got 2500 to 3000 pound to spend so should be ok with that then

Well for that sort of power you want to try and find a TTE charger kit, they come out at 200bhp.

In fact if you look in the cars for sale section, theres all the IS you'll every need in Lee_icemans Silver TTE charged IS200.

Stav

Hi, Welcome.

TTE supercharger is a better route to take for 200-220hp, and like Stav said, Lee has a lovely one for sale, think he wants just over £7k for it (bargin). Check for sale section.

how much would i be looking at to do that if i was to by one my self and apart from the charger its self what is needed any internal work

TTE supercharger is bolt on kit, you dont need to do anything else to you engine (internal) but thay are very hard to come by now

No Internal work is needed as long as you keep the boost Below 0.5, the standard setup runs at 0.3 bar.

What do you mean by how much aprt from the charger? you sourcing one from elsewhere?

Stav

So how do you up the boost to 0.5 if the standard set up runs at 0.3??

Cheers,

Tom.

Bigger pulley

And wallet for if/when a conrod gives way.

Think i'll stick with the pulley i got with my kit then

Tom.

I've got a bigger pulley that i no longer need it you want to try it though, Some engines are fine with it some are not, luck of the draw.

Once you start dont expect to finish it soon ive gone from a turbo kit to a complete engine convertion now lol.

I remember talking to you in southend a while ago. Liked the look of the car and the turbo, was able to get hold of a 3.0lt supra engine N/A a month ago, and thought about turbo'ing that but decided to go for a charger instead

Tom.

Cheers Stav, might have that off ya but will wait to have a look how she runs wen i get it put on Having to do it on my own this weekend as my mate cant now and i cant be assed to wait till b/h monday! Havent really got much of a clue what i'll be doing but i'll give it a go

Does anyone know where i can get the page of Bolts and stuff from the TTE charger thing as i just have a box of nuts and bolts and dont know what is for what! lol

Tom.

You'll need a hand to get the bumper off & on matey, its just not a one man job I have the list(s) of parts at work I can send that to you tomorrow if no one does it before then

if you have any bits left over you know its a job done right

If you going to jae, we could help you fit it mate

I am going to JAE! not sure how to get onto the club are tho?? If people wuddnt mind helping, and would like some free beers would be great i could do the ECU stuff before hand anyway, just not too confident playing with the enigne!

If not then i'll have a go on saturday

Tom.

I'll help you at JAE! would be fun. No0t much point doing the ECU beforehand the car would just run really rich.
Its only a five minute job fitting the ecu anyway,

Stav

Have you got fitting instructions?

there here: Cick me

If you want them.

Stav

I knew i had the parts list somewhere.

Here it is: Clciky again

Its an Excel document and the second tab is the bolts list and what part to use it with.

Stav

would be good and help me get to know everyone! Might just have to hold out till the end of the month but accept the insurance quote so i dont pay more after it expires

Cheers Stav that excell one is great will check 2nite if i have all the bolts there as alot of them are still on the parts so will identify and bag the ones in the box

Tom.

Not a problem mate,

I've added it to this thread here: Charger parts

Including Google translations of the parts.

So has anyone successfully run a relaible car with the bigger pully, (on standard internals,) then?

Yes, Gord had his green one running with a standard pulley.

And HyperSR have done a few with the bigger pulley.

Stav

But they are a bit prone to blow up though?

i've heard a couple on initial tuning, but have a few havent.

Like i said, luck of the draw really.

Well my Dad asked me today when i was finally going to get the Supercharger fitted to my car as its currently sitting in the kitchen! I said hopefully this weekend at JAE with the help of you guys!
He wasnt happy, he has told me to have it booked in to a garage and fitted Professionally! I cant really argue with him as he did give me the money to buy it! Has really me off tho!

So does anyone know of a good (reasonably priced) place to get it done??

Cheers guys,

Tom.

A few of the guys going to JAE have fitted the superchargers to there own cars and Gord and Stav know quite alot about them and the fitting of them, Just take it with you anyway to JAE

Could well do! i'll just have to take the crap out the boot and just lump it all in there with a jack and some tools! And hope he doesnt notice!
I tried to change the manifold to the De-Cat one this weekend but it wouldnt come out as the Cats were getting caught on the Steering colum bit! then started to rain so i had to leave it in! Just seems to be taking ages to get it all on the car lol!

Tom.

Worth a try mate and if i remember right you have to seperate the steering from the lower joint to fit the manifold I did that job on Lee-iceman's lex when we fitted his S/C at my brothers house

Just noticed were a bit maybe a good idea to start a new topic if you want to find out a bit more

I was going to try that but didnt want to bugger something up and it started to rain!


OK will do

Tom.
