Need Info On Supercharging Auto Is200

[Taz_1]

Hi, i have recently bought a 52 plate is200 A/T with 17K on the clock as a 2nd car. I am looking to supercharge it as it already has a Altezza - 1 off customised body kit and looks very MEAN. So to finish off and make it even more of a BEAST i want to supercharge it. I have considered a GREDDY turbo conversion but dont think its available for auto besides i want to keep the engine bay looking standard and retain some of the plastic covers in place.

So, i need to know whether an auto can be s/charged, the good and bad points, what sort of power gains are to be expected and any other info/advice you may feel relevant to this topic.

This topic has probably been covered before but i cant seem to find anything

Thanks for any feedback.

yes it can be no - problem at all, power approx 210hp look at tte.de for the details as it shows graphs etc

What car you got IS200 or RS200 as they are not the same car :winky:

[Rsarin]

i drive a supercharged auto.

[Taz_1]

its a is200 not rs200, i had a rs200 before - but swapped it for a rx8 and now bought another is200. how much did u pay for the s/c fitted and where from? whats the gear changing like with the auto box? some people say u loose air con if u s/c, is this right?

[Rob]

no you dont loose aircon at all - who ever told you that has no idea about the TTE kit in that case.

its a DIY job if you want, you can fit it in about 6-7 hours on your own but people who have done it before have it down to about 4-5 hours.

the kit last time i looked was about 3K ish fitted - check out prolex uk or tdi as they will gladly help you

[Rsarin]

im sure there are some used ones knocking about.get it done on the cheap if you can.by that i mean try find a used one and get some members to help you fit it, tempt them with beer and food.

Beer and food sounds good

[Rsarin]

i know you'd like that kind of a bribe

Someone say beer and food :D

Fitting is pretty straight forward but as mentioned there are people on here willing to help ;)
