IRISH_IS220D

Dking good to know someone has done it safely. Although an engine rebuild to be sure the better gasket is put in may be too much. But its something to consider for sure

Thanks for the reply everyone. I know its already over the limit at 177 but i figure ince i keep it serviced and keep the likes of the egr clean it should last. If anyone on here hasnt done the egr you really should. Take the battery out and its 4 bolts easy peasy. I think i just have to accept its built for comfort not speed...... Or a family for that matter. I think ill go for the bigger Lexus next time. Thanks again everyone

I bought this 2010 IS220d a few months back and i love it. Iv got the back windows tinted, changed to front LED and cleaned out the EGR but it needs more power. So im thinking, i want to try get the engine to 250bhp but Lexus detuned the engine because of gaskets as far as i know. But does anyone know..... 1 Did Toyota or another company make stronger gaskets? 2 Is there a way to stop coolant pressure building up and in turn stop gaskets blowing. I love the car but think its crazy that toyota made a bad engine. There must be an easy way to correct there mistake other than a detune.
