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.

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

[curly]

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

[sparkystav]

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.

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 :o

[sparkystav]

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

[Tom-18]

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

Cheers,

Tom.

Bigger pulley :winky:

[sparkystav]

And wallet for if/when a conrod gives way.

[Tom-18]

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

Tom.

[sparkystav]

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.

[LexusIS200Sam]

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 :D

[Gord]

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

[Tom-18]

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 :P 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 :D

Tom.

[sparkystav]

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

[sparkystav]

Have you got fitting instructions?

there here: Cick me

If you want them.

Stav

[sparkystav]

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.
