Someone has already done this swap on an IS300:

OK...who said a single............. :)

after carefull deliberation, its been decided that 2 of everything has to be better............

and so may i take this opertunity to introduce to you, the Twins.......

they don't look like the HKS turbos from the previous page (or are they?). could just be that they look different when fitted.

This looks interesting...............

CO2 cooling

I tried a similar thing on an Escort RS Turbo back in 1990 - total waste of time.

The technology is better nowadays so I would give it another try.

how much heat (in Wattage terms) would you expect to see in the inlet charge? if its not too high can you use Peltier devices to cool instead?

Count me in too. I'd prefer indoors, am flexible on the dates.

Where is the Nitrous feed / nozzle? Is it in the intake manifold (in the blue part of the joiner or as a hole in the metal further up) (or somewhere else?)

Pics of the install:

yes, i have one, whats your question?

please order me one, i'd like to get one that matches my dash unlike the existing one i've got!

Try Adrian flux, I got a great premium from them.

Were you walking near the Aldgate East this morning?? Thought I saw you but wasn't sure.

This has prob been discussed hundreds of times and i did try a search first but with no joy.

I am thinking of fitting some subs etc and just wondered where people ran the power cable through from the battery to the boot in the IS?

Thanks.

I've put mine through the existing hole in the firewall on the right side of the engine bay just behind the Battery. From here it goes down inside the glove compartment and then under the door sills to the rear seat. From the rear seat it goes up and through the hole on the top right behind the seat, this comes out behind the soft panels in the boot, it then follows down and through to the spare wheel well.

Hope that made sense!

Hope ir gives you as much pleasure as mine gives me!

Have you gone for the convenience of a remote bottle opener? Beats me why they never showed these in the fast and the furious.... ANd have you got a Purge Valve to ensure that you are straight onto liquid and the gas is expelled. makes all the difference to that first hit!

Loz

Me know nothink !

if you go for a setup with purge, make sure that you purge it onto the intercooler to make use of the nitrous that would be wasted otherwise

here is my home config (for the security conscious (paranoid??)):

Zoom ADSL modem (ethernet)

Linksys Firewall Router connected to Zoom on one side, PC1 on the other side

PC1: Cheap Pentium 100 with two network cards, running smoothwall

SMC 8 port switch

2 Linux PC's (running IPTables)

2 Windows XP PC's (running ZoneAlarm)

At the risk of casting virus-authors as stereotypes, I'd say they are all socially inept ****s.

I'd guarantee that none of them own a Lexus, coz if they did, they'd have more respect for other peoples property!! :o

most virus writers are very clever, some just use tools by other people which isn't clever though. i don't think that the virus writers are socially inept, just the case that most people using PC's are technically inept and unaware of the details involved in using your pc:

if you compare computing to your car you find things that are pretty stupid,

1 - Car keys vs passwords

You would never give your car keys to someone but its often you use simple passwords

or give them out on request

2 - Virus checking

Would you use your car every day without ever checking its ok (tyres pressures etc.?)

3 - Security

Would you leave you car unlocked in the middle of the worst area you can think of

(e.g. Mossside) People do it every day with PC's

4 - Updates

A car manufacturer issues a safety warning about your car, you would update it straight

away, how many people ever update PC's with new patches from vendors?

If people do silly things and leave their computers in a dangerous situation there are always people that will take advantage in exactly the same way as your car, house etc. Until the average computer user learns to treat the computer in a similar way they will always have problems.

i went drag racing again this weekend at SantaPod, the temperature was about 36 degrees vs 20 degrees last time I went. power and speeds were pretty much unchanged between the two outings, the engine bay was v.hot but intercooler and air going into the engine was ok.

Would like to see what your insurer going to say about NoS..hehe

I'm with the Lexus gold people so dont envisage any problems......any its only money

Car is manual ........... hopefully clutch will be up to it

no chance, my clutch lasted about 6 months

are you male or female?

so we are gonna 4 superchargers there tonight?

Hmm, I want cover for my trackday insurance, lets see if google can help.....

:tsktsk: :tsktsk: lexus owners clubs :tsktsk:

chat about it tomorrow if you like mate?

can help you with our top secret mojo that makes search engines love you B)

i'd like to see some of the top secret mojo, seems to work pretty well:

Search for "hifonics" "zx6400" http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-...hifonics+zx6400 LOC = #4, pretty good since my signature is above valid retailers of the product!!

Search for "tdi" "induction" "kit" http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=...i+induction+kit #1, LOC beets TDi :D :D

"tte" "supercharger" http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=...te+supercharger still #1 for LOC!

YOU SHOULD HAVE YOUR TTE AIRBOX

And i will....

But out of interest Mat, what are the adv / dis-advantages of going with the TTE box or an induction arrangement..

You might get a bit more power with the induction kit, not sure if anyone has tested this or not though. I'm pretty sure that if an induction kit would give significant gains TTE would have fitted it instead of the airbox arrangement. I would gues the induction kit is only useful if you increase the boost on the S/C, same applies for the intercooler, the uprated intercooler is only needed if you go past stage 1 on the S/C.

you can improve the pre cats by removing them

Mat,

Is there a simple way to remove them, and is it still legal after there gone?

I heard the precats are only there to absorb engine gasses during the "Warm-up" period.Is this correct?

So if they're removed, when it comes to MOT time, you take it to the garage after the engine has warmed up, that way they won't be able to detect any change.(hoping that they do the MOT straight away and not let the car cool down)

my car got through its MOT without the pre-cats and with all the other work done to it

(Mind you, took us about a third of the time to get home from JAE as it took us to get there)

mmmmm....sounds familiar

four and a half hours to get there

and one and a half to get back!

it was only 110 miles ;)

might as well change that signature now, your secrets out! (can you pm me the name / number of that place we were talking about? thanks)

Hope they chaps didn't get nicked by the speed cameras on the way to JAE, as I believe they weren't aware of our speed limits....................

I think they were ... 150-160kph they thought....

That's about right isn't it ? I only fracture them a bit in that case :shutit:

They probably mistook the 'normal traffic flow' speed... 90ish for the speed limit :)

Though from Keirans comments, sounds like H. Beyer just couldn't give a stuff

Or maybe he was just late for his ferry :D

everyone else was doing about 90 - 100 anyway so it wasn't too bad

Followed the IS430 all the way back to London, think we all need to apologise to the guys from TTE about the state of UK roads, the M1 was stop start all the way to the M25 junction, we were going 40 mph, stop, 40 mph stop. aaggggggggh

Major progress once we got on the M25, maximum speed whilst following was 120 till trafiic slowed progress, awesome car, lots of looks from people on the motor way when two IS's fly past them!

Bit of late night you had then...  your door speaker install is exactly like what oxford audio done for me..

BTW did ya lady contact that smoking place i gave you the details off.

Once you've done it once its easy (the installers have a good deal going), the first door took almost all the time, the second door took about 10 minutes from start to finish. Decided to give it a go myself, will be doing some more tonight hopefully.

I told my girlfriend about the smoking thing but at the moment she has been without for 3 weeks now without trying it, she will give it a go if she starts again this time.

3 weeks,, thats good going,, they say the first 3 days is the worst, then the next 2 weeks after,, then should be plain sailing...

the first three days seem the worst, i've experienced the first 3 days 4 times now :duh:
