Supercharging A 110K+ Is200

[kazz88]

Hi everyone im brand new to this website and think its amazing. iv recently purchased and automatic 1999 IS200 SE with about 109,000 miles on the clock. i was wondering about getting a TTE supercharger but first i wanted to know isit worth it for this car with this milage?? (would it break the car?) and what things do i need to know about supercharging a lexus (extra things to do like transmission cooler and etc.) iv looked for a beginners guide on this sort of thing but i guess i must of missed it or it doesn't exist. like i said im a beginner, and as such don't understand everything. So it might be nice for an installation guide or something on those lines. Also would it hurt the resale value of the car? im most worried about damaging the car as i would like to sell it after a year or so for a bigger lexus :)

thanx

your first mission is finding a charger kit,

you dont need an auto cooler but its nice to have. but it shouldnt be an issue on the engine no

i have found one online which i will post a link onto later. its second hand, mayb third hand. and the guy selling says it comes with everyhting i would need but iv never done anything like this to a car before so i dont have clue how to install it. would you recomend i get it? n should i pay for an install?

a beginners guide to supercharging a lexus would be nice lol

If you search this section theres loads of info about charging.

i may have instructions somewhere, pm me your email address and ill dig them out.

you can do it yourself in about 6 hours with a few spanners and a socket set (and a drill for 2 holes)

If the one you found online is on the craigslist london site, then walk away. There are people who have had problems with this and one owner who is in the process of taking legal action to get his money returned.
