  1. i had my boost upgrade induction kit exhaust done with std SMIC...........had FMIC fitted and boost increased by .2bar...........
  2. Not a lot TBH. No one has ever done a before & after dyno. I know of one bespoke kit fitted to Zee's IS which lost power (over exhaust type) Sounds lovely though
  3. will be sent tomorrow....get you get the instructions OK ?
  4. Only way to go IMHO heat rises so can't see point of the others........ where mine ends up as well is well away from the radiator another source of heat
  5. HKS don't do one for the IS200. Thats the trust kit
  6. have you had a 220,or are you just speaking from your rear end. just read people complaints and spoken to high level Lexus people in Europe......... Reason they will never do another oil burner oops time its taken to write this your cars lost even more money it will never lose as much as yours,as i thought just talking from the rear end. how old are you 5 ? have you had a 220,or are you just speaking from your rear end. just read people complaints and spoken to high level Lexus people in Europe......... Reason they will never do another oil burner oops time its taken to write this your cars lost even more money did u import ur 350 from states or japan? how much was it if u dont mind me askin? mine came from japan before tom's did their magic it was £18k (thats a 2005 full option car with 20k miles on)
  7. they can stop the creaking some is's get. They also,as with all upper braces help stiffen the chassis You do need to trim the side panel mounts slightly to get it to fit (or remove them)
  8. yea seen one a toms t280. would be wicked quick. but from insurance quotes i think it would just be an rs200 lol. my local toyota dealer seems happy enough they can get parts for them ok so thats a plus. much dearer to insure than is200. the TOM's one on autotrader is not what I'm talking about. That one is very collectible...........think only 100 ever made
  9. your sig says rs200..............if you have a 3s-ge rs200 then the piper cross kit will not fit The HKS zorst wil fit though
  10. you can get a turbo charged rs 200from Japan
  11. when my is350 was being road tested by Car magazine they also had an IS-F in....he said the suspension was to hard for the road but not right for the track either........... maybe lexus should consider some form of edfc (electronic damping control ) so driver can adjust that from within car when driving ?..........................I do know TOM's are about to launch a set of lower body chassis braces for the IS-F which may help....they are also about to supercharge one
  12. you going to give me a good deal on a set then?? Not allowed to trade just offering my opinion
  13. TTE/Eibach are good.................as are TEIN.............IMHO PI are rubbish
  14. have you had a 220,or are you just speaking from your rear end. just read people complaints and spoken to high level Lexus people in Europe......... Reason they will never do another oil burner oops time its taken to write this your cars lost even more money
  15. IMHO the image of the IS250 here is all wrong............IS220d is a pile of pooh........................they should be the profit makers...........RX400h is OK
  16. 1g-gte rods are available. The pistons are not right for the tte compressor cars though. you can use JE pistons as well............
  17. The magic figure that seems to be always quoted on here is 250bhp.... Most think this is the limit for a standard engine, but my info only comes from reading threads and info from those with experience, of supercharging, but like you say, each engine will have slightly different tolerences depending on its age, abuse to date etc... yours is set to .45 bar Thomas............
  18. elliot...............bigger it not always better (i tell my wife this.............) you need a turbo which is going to give sensible boost low down.........what cc does this lorry turbo normally work with.............somewhat more than 2.5..........needs air to work.............you'll have lag lag lag lag ............power for 2 seconds change gear...............lag lag lag lag...............
