The Uk's 1st Supercharged Is300

[B15RUP]

In the short time I have been a member with LOC, there is the bitchyness!! I am not really bothered if Mr Morse's car was finished or not :duh: This topic has been put on LOC to keep you guys informed of the progress with MY IS300 and to gather interest and support of fellow LOC members. As far I am concerned this is the first supercharged IS300 in the UK and I am sure this is the understanding with the majority of LOC members.

Get off your box mate.

All the best with your car, and i hope all is going to go will for you and you are very happy with you supercharged is300, please keep us all upto date with the progress.

Noel, asked a Q about Mr Morse's car, i only told Noel what was what with Mr Mores's car.

That wasn't too hard Gord :D :winky:

[Noel]

I wasn't being bitchy either... i remember all the posts about Mr.Morse's IS300 that was to be supercharged and the fact that you said yours was gonna be the first i wondered what the hell happened to Mr.Morse's so....

Anyway i think you'll have a great car afterwards.... power and Luxury :) what more could anyone want...

oh maybe handling ... :P ( just messing)

good luck

Have been really busy! :duh: But as promised more pics of the supercharger upgrade, have been driving my VITO around for the past week and cant wait for the car to be back on the road. The coilovers and anti roll bars I ordered should be with me very soon too.....

[B15RUP]

I cant seem to upload anymore pics, it says max single upload size 1.74K with 748.26K of 750K used... Can anyone help??

[sparkystav]

use photobucket or imageshack to host your pictures mate then just use img links.

Looks good though.

Looking good,and moving fast, what sort of time you looking at getting it on the road

Welcome to the Supercharger club :D , nice looking charger :D

[Rob's Lexx]

Mike's IS300 conversio on BB never got fully completed.

He's in Lagos now and don't even know if he still owns the Lexus.....

This conversion is already looking very good. Hope it all goes well for you matey :-)

[DJ Wozza]

Glad to see it is taking shape matey, and fairly quickly too.

[TonyGoose]

Looking impressive there.

Is that all 1 belt ? Looks about a mile long if it is :)

In that pic seems like it's virtually rubbing against itself as it passes/goes round the 2nd pulley below the charger.

Cheers Gord, supercharger install is now complete, car is off to SE england for custom exhaust and mapping.

Tony the belt is long and does seem a little close, but is fine it has about a 3-4mm gap. To all you IS200 members, there may be a new supercharger kit available to you guys soon....

Here is another pic and a linky to one of the intial start ups.

Looks good though mate, who makes the charger?

[DJ Wozza]

Glad this is coming along well mate

[Rob's Lexx]

a new charger for the IS200?? still need engine upgrades to get any more real power/boost over the TTE setup :shutit:

great looking install though mate, bet ur well chuffed!!

how long has work been going on for??

[Rob]

vortech make the charger jamie

[yemgi]

It looks good but it seems a bit noisy

[Bazza]

nice to see something different

my concern would be the intake filter being located above the manifold ;)

[MacRS200]

Agree with Yemgi it sounds very sick, to a trained ear something is not right, I would have shut it down in about 5 seconds.

Bazza - Yup not a good place to be drawing intake air from.

Dont think you've read the title mate LoL

I agree with the others something sounds very gratey like metal on metal, did u make sure that oil feed was pumping through before actually switching on the engine ?

Yup my bad LoL Prolex are doing one soon i think

[Rob's Lexx]

i was wondering if this was the lysolhm (sp?) unit that is being talked about?? or maybe a vortech unit for the IS2??

[Fargo]

hmm, as said before does sound rough, also the air intake is deffo not in a good spot.

You said its off to be mapped, what ecu are you using.

Apart from that, well done.
