Ask me when it's done - we have a cunning plan :)

We intend to make the induction system so that it can be shipped and self fitted. We should be able to make quite a nice job of it. Mark :)

The filter itself will be HKS or better, and the carbon fibre induction pipework will be TDi

Due to popluar demand we will be releasing a proper carbon fibre induction system for the is 200 in NA and supercharged variants. These should be available during November. Pricing will be confirmed then. Cheers - Mark :)

Hello We have the compressor hose kits in stock today. 5 left. The price is £38.50 plus vat. 1st come 1st served. All the guys that expressed an interest, please let me know if you want a set. Cheers! :)

We will do some testing on our airflow testing machine when someone asks us for the stage 2 compressor boost upgrade.

I take it none of you guys saw this car on our stand at the Autosport Show at the NEC in January this year? This car is awesome :o

dboey, maybe the pic isn't clear enough but it looks standard to me. What have you done?

Let us know what you think please :)

We haven't actually done any back to back testing on this model yet, but a similar system on an MR2 gives at least 6hp. Best regards Mark :)

HKS have introduced a Super Powerlow induction kit for the Alteza. This comes inbetween the Racing Suction System, and Super Filter, and costs £155 plus vat. They are in stock. :)

Ehem, I am happy, nay PROUD to let you know that I have just had confirmation from TTE that we can now buy directly from them instead of going through TGB which is a painfully slow process. This means that we should now be able to supply TTE parts and information faster. Mark :)

asin - there is a separate module that can change the rev limiter which costs £65. Coxyboy - the ecu upgrade costs £600 plus including fitting and custom mapping. There may be some movement on price if you a Gold Member. We have the HKS induction kits in stock for the is300. Shouldn't this thread be in the tuning section :?: There is some useful info here. :)

Hello Coxyboy, we have done the GS300's which is basically the same engine. It gives better economy, more power and makes the engine feel smoother. It should work on the is300 but we need to try one. Charles, don't forget that the rev limiter is there for a reason :o Normally a good rule of thumb is that a pre mapped ecu or chip will not be as good as a custom mapped alternative. Hope this helps.

It will work, but it will not be very accurate without 3D mapping

The e-manage is a very basic system that offers 2D mapping only, so it will not be suitable for use with a compressor or turbo. Even for NA use, the e-manage system is twice the price of the Dastek system that we know and like. Hope this helps :)

The flywheels sell for £395 plus vat, less the usual Gold Member deal :)

Glad to say that the new super light flywheels arrived today - at long last! Should have some pics available later. Cheers! Mark :)

When we install a mappable ecu in the is200, we actually decrease the fuel by quite a lot as they run far too rich in standard form, to increase power and improve economy. Optimising the fuel and ignition timing improves power by 6hp. I do not know about and differences between the JDM and EUro models but I would not be at all surprised if the engine specs were different. To give you an example, the JDM and Euro model Supra's have the following differences ; camshafts, turbochargers, exhaust manifolds, cats, engine management, fuel pump etc etc............... All Japanese domestic models are speed governed to 180 kph (112 mph). We fit the HKS Speed Limit Defence to overcome this, which costs £115 plus vat Hope this helps Mark :)

Si, don't for get the SAFETY aspect! Better brakes and suspension means SAFER stopping and handling. Faster performance means being able to get away from Michael Barrimore more SAFELY :o We don't do it because we like it (honestly Darling), we do it to be SAFER

£150 normal price, £135 to Gold members. Plus vat if you are in Europe. Best regards - Mark :)

We are not officially selling this upgrade yet. If anyone wants to buy the upgrade, the only parts we can sell mail order are the pulley kits, uprated fuel pump, fuel pressure regulators and additional injector controllers. Mark :)

The term "coil over" has been b*st*rdised over the last 10 years or so. It was used to differentiate between suspension systems that had separate springs and shocks, like a leaf spring or double wish bones, and systems that had the spring integrated into the shock, ie the spring is on the shock. As most suspension systems nowadays have the spring on the shock anyway, the term "coil over" is generally now used to differentiate shocks with an adjustable lower platform that allows ride height adjustment. Hope this helps Mark :)

Hello We have commissioned a kit of silicon hoses to replace the standard hoses that come with the TTE compressor kit. Apart from being a much heavier duty, they are available in various colours which also makes them a nice dress up feature - especially if you have the matching water coolant and power steering kit The kit costs a measly £38 plus vat and will be available in 3 weeks. We will be taking advance order immediatley. Hope this is interesting Mark :)

That's strange, but 50mm is far too low for the standard shocks. Let me know if you want me to organise some coil overs. Mark
