T/c Or S/c On Is300

[Mr Morse]

See plenty of blowers or superchargers on IS200's, what's the experience of modding an IS300?

Pretty awesome I imagine

What about upgrading the guts parts?

This modding game is more addictive than good hydroponic skunk..........

You can do awesome things with that 2JZ-GE engine in the 300, much better to work with than the 1G-FE in my opinion.

I wanted to go down the 300 route but had to get a house so that's gone off the agenda :(

If you check out some of the American sites you will get an idea of what they are doing to their cars with the turbos and superchargers...

Might be worth you looking at a website such as www.is300.net to see what they are doing with theirs, to give you an idea here are some sites for you:

Fargo was looking to do this with his, bear in mind that the kits above are US spec so the turbo manifolds may not fit UK cars with the steering column in the way, in either case Fargo is probably the guy who knows the most about modding a 300 in the UK as he's looked into it - good luck :)

yep,, i will be getting a s/c very very soon...should be pulling in 320BHP quiet safly without any internal or fuel upgrades.

[Mr Morse]

OK. I'm whacked by 320 horse...

What about uprated guts? Needed?

If you look at that Turbo East SC link I posted and go through the 4 stages you will see what kit varies amongst the kits as that is what they recommend to hit that power level.

You'l see different fuelling systems etc mentioned as required...

If you're going to do it I guess you might as well go for the Auto tranny upgrades as well to be on the safe side :)
