OK well there is a few companies now that are makin Turbo or SC kits for our cars.. if you had to choose which one would you go with and why? just curious?
XS-Engineering--Turbo
Toyomoto---Turbo
SRT--SuperCharger
Area51-Supercharger
Peter Farrell--Turbo
SupraStore.com--Turbo

anyone else makin a kit I am missin?

let me know what you all think..

mccarlin

My first preference is TURBO. Obviously it is the way to go for more tunability and ect.....

if i had to buy soon, i would go with the XS engineering Turbo. The toyomoto is good but 10K dollars for a stage 1 kit including install. That is WAY more than i am going to spend!
if i had to do a supercharger.......
SRT is my first choice because from what i hear the stage 1 can be installed fairly easily, and the price is speculated in the 3500-4500 range.

Secing choice for supercharger is Area51, i havent heard that much info on it lately but they are good.

I only wish i was close to california......those guys get all the tuners out there!!!

EmoDragRacer

you live in Chicago.. go to SP performance,,,, they have some fast Supras they know alot from what I have been told...check it out I know they are looking to do a setup for the IS (turbo)

mccarlin

EmoDragRacer

John you da man....when is HKS comin out with thier kit?

DevilDog

Be patient and wait for the SRT S/C kit. The parts he's going to use will be top quality. Well worth the wait!

EmoDragRacer

Devildog--- I went down to talk to Mo about his kit, it sounds nice, I am anxious to see it, and how it performs!!!!!!!

SC300TURBO

just to add my 2 cents......toyomoto has worked on this kit since before the car was even released....Xs kit will be right at 7000 and you wont get a haltech...injectors....ect.....as far as high quality parts...toyomoto uses nothing but the best this is why the kit is costly...and so you know the stage 1 kit is like 7900.....and that includes a haltech E6K ....if you want durability.....quality...proven performance..and the ability to move up in stages while keeping 90% of the original kit....which is a nice option..id reccommend the toyomoto kit....besides..his latest stage 3 kit dynoed 537 rear wheel hp......pure fun there...Jeff:eek:

EmoDragRacer

jeff--- again that is SICK 500 plus RWHP.. dood it is starting to convince me..... hey and on thier kit you can use the stock front end correct, no body kit needed to fit an intercooler in huh... at least that is what it looks like in the pics... 7900 installed? or not installed and will Lance fly up from FL to tune my car.. LOL jk

wish i could tell you it was installed but it is w/o install/....money talks but i dont think he will go up there too tune it.....as far as the front bumper..no body kit is needed...factory bumper works just fine.....

EmoDragRacer

see I am into the no bodykit needed for the intercooler...
I am not a bodykit person I think the lines on the IS are just fine as it is..

thanks again...

DevilDog

Ditto...

...hurry up MO!


lol

EmoDragRacer

I cannot beleive no one else has voiced an opinion in this post.. lol does no one else dream of forced induction on thier cars.? man i can't wait till the day my kit is done and roll to the races and stomp some Mustangs and camaros and vettes..(that might be pushing it lol)
