Correct.

There is a tipical problem with the IS, specially if the catalitic converters are damaged !

The ECU doesn't read or receives a malfuction, but reduces the fuel supply to the engine, by assuming a voltage reading different from the necesary under the actual load through the O2 sensors.

That blows the engine, cuased by engine knock at mid-hi RPM's....it happend to me.

Solution:

Eliminate all 3 catalitic converters

Install a O2 simulator on the rear O2

Add all gas you need, and the ECU won't detect any "out of parameter" rich mixture needed for S/C or

turbo engines (@11:1).

No Lexus support here after 3 years....

Examples on radiom stations:

88.3 / 91.3 / 97.3 / 99.7 / 101.3 / 104.5 / 106.5 / 107.5....

They go @ from 88-108 Mhz.

Yes.. as mentioned before:

european Specs

FM Tuner frequency: UKW87.5 to 108.0 MHz.

I own a Lexus IS200, european Specs, but I live in the Dominican Republic.

Another problem is that the Lexus dealer here dosn't wants to deal with internal part of this radio.

The radio is OEM for Lexus IS200, VIN No. JTDBS182300018779 and has this specifications:

Toyota: 86120-53030

Fujitsu Ten: 122000-1050A101

Serial: A7000496

The problem is that the radio doesn't control the FM stations, for which the tecnitian refers to the FM tuner control.

No. on the FM tuner housing: 12-3310A

9201B2

FM Tuner frequency: UKW87.5 to 108.0 MHz.

Please help on how to obtain this needed part.

Thanks !

If it's the same after that, check the catalytics....

Does anyone have the part # for the CLEAR LS430 repeaters, here in my country we get the USA version which doesn't carry this marker.

The dealer couldn't get the part # from their archieves.

Please remember it's for both sides !

Thanks,

SHAHZ: di you have the part Nos. for the 2 2005 OEM ?

Thanks,

Not usually...check the ATF and filter.

Colin can the throttle be cleaned with any regular carb cleaner ?

Thanks,

No posibility on auto Supra Tranny on IS.

I've done all needed reaserch...IS uses 4 selenoids, supra Turbo uses 5 selenoids.....Supra N/A 3 selenoids

Its the same filter as in Toyota Camry (Don't know the year), but can be easilly compared !

Inconclusion Mark, did you definetely do the test for the head ?

What was the result (Torque / HP / ect.) ?

I've sent my ECU to the guys at AUTOSPORT. The results were satisfying and according to detals, only that when I installed the SC I had to exchange ECU's with another is200 because of the excess timing generating detonation.

AUTOSPORT was an excellent choice !!!

0-1/4 mile: 4-5 five cars differece as specified.

George...I would go for it; it's the only reliable choice before SCing.

Could be junt the relay ?

If the front do 80% of braking, how come the rear wear out faster ??

Mine has it ! I was told that it is a shield in front of the sunroof that is broken.

You have to take down the interior roof panel to fix.

I haven´´t foxed mine because all mechanics will spoil the interior roof panel with their dirty hands and I want to do it myself.

I´ll check it out and let know.

What are scuff plates ?

I´ll chech everything over tomorow, I´´ll be chnging all 3 belts and will check tensioner.

Fargo: The problem was excess power to the tranny, It´´s possible that this one will last more because of the upgrade during acceleration from the ESK. This system limits the discs from slipping by generating excess pressure in the system

Thank you all !!

GOOD !

Lately I have been listening to some weird ratling sounds from the S/C at idling. Is this normal or is it me ?

Do you guys hear this same noise or might it be mine ?

Are the vibrations hard or soft ?

It´s not the TC.

Is your IS stock ?

Can anyone give me the Ref. and make for the belt of the 1st stage upgrade from TDI.

I have to chnge it and I don´t live in UK.

Shipping Only would be @ £75.00, much more than the belt.

Maybe with this details I can make some cross reference.

Thanks,
