Hi I was just wondering if someone had the fitting pipe work for the lexus is200 induction kit they looking to sell today around cardiff, southwales?
-
awesome! thanks for all your help buddy very much appreciate it
-
ah i know right, dont get me wrong im not a racer person at all i don't know nothing about cars and i only bought the lexus because it was black and had cream leather looks classy so i was just like oh yeah, but didnt really realise how slow they were lol im driving and im seeing corsa's take off quicker than me thats not cool lol
-
that's ok, sorry for all the questions im just rather curious, so ther'd be no chance of blowing up my engine or falts is there doing it this way? as im more drawn to this side now lol

Maybe not Manifold £150 Welding - free if you do it? Turbo £100 for second hand Black box will do if staying below 0.3 bar - £70 Intercooler - £100 Pipework and hoses - £100 Filter - £50 Down pipe fabrication by exhaust shop - £150 to £200 That's if you search for parts, and fit it yourself. that is pretty cheap, are there any cons to do it this way? what kinda power output am i looking at doing it this way?
-
oh right i see what you mean, so in reality how much of a budget could this be done on? im guessing it would be abit more than £2K
-
sorry mate you've totally lost me there buddy haha
-
umm if im honest mate im not really too sure possibly around the 220bhp mark ive just noticed that for a 2ltr car its pretty slugish as standard (my personal opinion anyway)

thanks for the reply, iv'e found a kit so far which seems to be selling with the actual car for £2000 http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/lexus-is-200-with-tte-supercharger-kit-project/1012722287#gallery-item-full-5 but the kit looks kinda battered to me?
-
Thanks for the fast reply, stupid moment, but when you say turbocharging i guess you mean just putting a turbo in the car? so far my budget is around the 2K mark which isn't a lot i guess for what i'm asking for is there anything you recommend for this kinda budget?
