    Does anyone have the mechanical specs of the TTE supercharger moving parts?
  2. Dimitris Papamichail
    Does

    Have a look below. http://www.snowperformance.net/product.php?pk=8

    The IS200 does not have a fully electronic throttle. It has a cable electronic assist, i.e. cable and electronic motor. The electronic motor closes or opens the throttle depending on the circumstances.So the throttle motor is not subject to moisture.

    Maybe in UK it will not make a big difference since the temperature is low compare to Greece. In Athens during summer the temp reaches 40C (i.e temperature at air intake is around 45 to 50C) and in the winter is around 10C. So I suppose it might do a difference. From what i have read up to know water injection reduces up to 30C the air at the intake. Hence there must be a significant gain after all. In USA many cars have used this kit.

    My mechanic suggests to fit a water injection of aquamist of snowperformance. Has anyone used this method? I found that Daza W had installed aquamist but he has sold his car ages ago.

    I have ordered today new Denso Iridium IK22 spark plugs from www.sparkplugs.co.uk. Very good shop. Swift email response. they will send the spark plugs today to Greece.
  12. Dimitris Papamichail
    Yes it will go to the dyno as I said once I have all the part I have ordered on the car. The mechanics are doing the last adjustments at the time being!
  13. Dimitris Papamichail
    yes i did. i think te gauge i borrowed from my mate is faulty. i blow throw the hose pipe and the indicator did not go to 0. i will fit another gauge tomorrow
  14. Dimitris Papamichail
    I fitted temporarily a mechanical pressure gauge and the reading that i get is 0.2bar at full boost. What is the actual boost for the TTE SC? Is it 0.3bar? I have tightened the SC belt and I will get a new one tomorrow. Do you have any other suggestions to propuse?
  15. Dimitris Papamichail
    Thank you again mate, I wouldn't enjoy my car now if you hadn't helped me!
  16. Dimitris Papamichail
    Are you planning to sell them soon mate?
  17. Dimitris Papamichail
    I just saw them too mate. Is it worth it paying 450 for this ARBS or go for a cheaper brand such as c-one, cusco, tanabe, eibach, etc.
  18. Dimitris Papamichail
    Thanks mate, the increase of power is stunning.
  19. Dimitris Papamichail
    Thanks mate. My HKS BOV arrived today so I will have it on the car soon. Here below is a pic of the Lexus Sport Grille that I also installed on my OEM bumper yesterday afternoon. I also repositioned the horns with the help of the LOC posts :winky: in order to look nicer!
  20. Dimitris Papamichail
    Great stuff!

    Found this manifold on the ebay for anyone who wants to install turbo on his IS200. It looks like a lot of good work has been done on this manifold, nut a bit expensive i believe. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Lexus-Toyota-IS200-1...%3A1%7C294%3A50
  22. Dimitris Papamichail
    Thanks a lot, the car is great. The best part is that I managed to fit everything and work eventually. It is the first non uk IS200 with a TTE supercharger together with an induction kit.

    Here is a short video taken in the garage around midnight.
  24. Dimitris Papamichail
    Here are some more photos of yesterday's preparation. I have ordered new silicone hoses to replace all the existing ones and especially the blue one that was painted black. I believe I will have by the end of this week and they will be fitted together with the BOV.
  25. Dimitris Papamichail
    Finally yesterday after spending many hours in the garage to fit the induction kit properly my car was finished and ready to roll around midnight. After some final adjustments that were done on the car I can say that the Lex has totally transformed. It is much quicker and it is much more fun to drive. My only worries for the meantime is the noise from the induction kit. It a bit more that I expected and I do not know also how much my wife will like it. The first question I got from her was how loud it is sound .
