Hi mates.... we finished our work on my Mini-Monster We got a problem... the ECU makes a fuel-cut over 0.25bar of boost. But when you take care with your gas-foot, you can hold it at this boost level and it pulls very great. Don't know what we can do.... maybe a fuel cut defender will help. We will see. Greetings, RR

As far as I know, the IS200 doesn't have a return line. The return line is in the tank, because the fuel regulator is also in the tank. The injectors are sized at 240 or 280cc I think....

Oh I forgot to say: After a while I saw a Honda Civic Intake in a tuning shop. I bought it and modified it a bit to make it fit. It had a bigger diameter (76mm). The bigger the diameter the more resonance is there and the better the sound. The last pipe before the throttle body was 60mm and I noticed a louder and better intake sound after fitting the 76mm. Look there: Changing Intake Pipe

Thx mate :wink2: Hmm... it's 100% custom made. We bought the pipes, cut them, drilled holes, bought the silicone hoses, the filter and mounted all that. The filter was for 65€, pipes ~40€, the elbow and silicon hoses I got in a tuning shop and they were expensive. All in all about 200-250€..... Well, you get more power with an exhaust, the intake was hardly to notice, not much power increase. The response was a bit better yes. The sound got much better, a really deep rumbling suck-sound.

Hi! This was mine, before I installed the turbo.

A while ago I called JE-Pistons in California and asked for rods and pistons for the IS200. They'd need one stock piston and one stock conrod for manufacturing. Pistons for 800-900$ Rods for ~1200$ ...as far as I know. They also ask you for HP you want to go, how much boost, race or street... and so on. They are specialists in that area. And a bit cheaper, but you have to add the shipping for that.... ...should be around 200-300$... only a suggestion. I think if enybody of our workshop-specialists could send the rods and pistons there, we would have an advantage. :D ;)

Go with an intake and exhaust, it should work a bit. I could feel a better response after installing that stuff. ;)

No other option. I let the turbokit sent to a friend in USA, who put the AVC-R BC, the Greddy boost gauge and the BLITZ BOV in the box. After that the kit got shipped to me. The SAFC, the EGT gauge and the AEM O2 controller have already been installed since June. It was a seperate order.

Hey Marcus.... cool plannings! Custom built TK??? Not bad.... But I should warn you to hit the 300Hp mark on stock internals. Also you should get an ignition control over 0.6bars or such. And I would take a smaller turbo for 300HP, because a 600HP Turbo will spool a bit later. Of course if you want you could get a huge kick in your a**. But I wouldn't do that on stock engine parts. I got a T28BB it reaches for ~320HP.... of course a bit larger would be fine, but enough. But this is your choice. I only wanted to tell you, don't to overpower that engine.... look at the rods from TRD328.... Or ask SimonSkippi.... he got 284Hp out of his Rocket, but it overheated every time...... Are you going to get a stainless steel turbo manifold and such?? If yes.... get one for me too.... :D

OMG!!! :o That is the hottest ride I ever saw...... WOW!!! :D

Hi mates! :) (irst of all, I'm from Austria and not Germany, but we also talk German.... :P ) Yes, this is another "problem" for you left-hand-driving guys. You would have to do some custom work. And the turbo manifold and downpiping fits right well, but with the piping you will have to cut, bend and drill something..... it takes a while, but works. The space behind the front bumper is small it's millimeter work there. I hope anyone of you who ordered it, gets the right parts. I'm lucky, I got a too short oil line, so we only mounted the intercooler + piping and electric parts. I can continue my project, when I got the oil line. But one thing I will never understand...... why the hell do we get a quite good turbo kit FROM USA!!!!???? :duh: :duh: They don't have any IS200 there, but we get a kit. The kit is made by TSI, that corporation is in California and they make a turbo kit for the IS200. Don't know..... but it works, that's important. Who in Germany got that kit and didn't tell us?!?!? Greets Mike :winky: Oh and I got told, that a guy in Australia (I'm from Austria --> difference :D ) has already fit that kit, with fuel management and that mini-monster put 235RWHP down on the road!!! WOW! That's quite good.

Seems nobody has any specific idea of the IS200 eh?? @NickTheGreek NP! :winky:

60mm ;)

Hi guys! Can you tell me where the oil pressure/temp sensor is located?? Where is this thing?? Greets RR :)

Hmmm it works a bit like a turbocharger, it sounds like a huge turbocharger..... ....the only problem is... Would it fit?? The other question is.... would the engine withstand a few hundred kiloponds of boost..... With this you could really throw flames like in the FF movies... :D

I also have installed the Apexi S-AFC II into my IS200 and I noticed that the response and acceleration @ high rpm improved a bit. But only for some more HP or a few ft-lbs. But it doesn't work very good on N/A cars as somebody already said, it'd be better to use it on a super- or turbocharged car. ;)

@Andi Das Abgasrohr war verbogen, daher konnten die Gase nicht richtig ausströmen, erzeugte viel Hitze (EGT) und verursachte jede Menge Gegendruck in den Motor (backpressure). Jetzt müsstest du's verstanden haben. :D ================== @TDIplc Hmmm... SiSki's turbo IS200 produced tons of heat, in cause it was a bit overpowered for stock internals. It ran a bit hot always, because of too much boost possibly. I'd say 230-260HP on stock internals you can be safe on street. I wouldn't want to check it out on a race track. ;)

Man, would be awsome. Let me know when you can do that for me.... :o) Greets Mike :winky:

Hi! I'm going to get an entry of the hipermax II coilovers into my car papers. It's illegal to have them in your car, without any certification and without any entry in your car papers of them, TUEV or such. So I'm asking if anybody knows where I could get a certification sheet of the HKS Hipermax II coilovers used on a Lexus IS200/IS300 or Toyota Altezza, which says that those things are made for this car and can be used and is OK and is strong enough and such. (Austrian bureaucracy :duh: :shutit: ) Can you help me guys?? :) Let me know please, Mike :)

Yes with a heavy foot I also don't get much more out of it. But between 300-400 miles is normal, so I cant believe that some people get the doubled milage out of it.... maybe they shut off 2 cylinders... :P

I asked my Lexus dealer for clutch and flywheel and he told me that TRD has only the FW for the Altezza and this WILL NOT fit. So I thought there is no FW for the IS200.... Or do you have part numbers for the FW and the CLUTCH???

35mpg??? Those are more than 1000km on a tank.... Sorry can't believe.... those would be 6.7ltrs/100km and this is far under test consumption. I think you live on a huge mountain and you shut off the engine when rolling down to your work every morning..... and pull it with a pickup when you get home in the evening..... :P

Yes those are different a bit. Of course you could boost up the Altezza's engine, but you'd have to take care a bit. The AltezzaEngine is an N/A engine so the compression is at least 10:1 or 11:1, and if you would give it too much boost it could blow up. Yes and not to forget the VVTi in the Altezza. Not for the Celica's engine.... :D it's compression will be around 8,5:1 or such and is made for being turbocharged. I heard many times of over 400HP Celicas (GT4) on completely stock internals. No Problem. :) The engine in the ST205 (2.0 N/A) and ST205 GT4 are completely the same except of the pistons... of course in cause of the compression ratio. But it would be all too easy to turbocharge an N/A Celica.

Mitsubishi EVO VIII has it. ;) At least I saw it on a motorshow. B)

The first is an EGT sensor (exhaust gas temp) that I know the engine temp. The second is a wide-band lambda sensor to read the correct air/fuel ratio. Inside I have gauges for both sensors and the SAFC to set the A/F ratio. :)
