Hey, if you wanna do more work, to go slower, be my guest.

I'll be over here working smarter, not harder

Someones done it though. Sounds awesome.

Nope... in fact I sold my >500 hp car to get the Lexus.

FWIW, that one didn't have a clutch pedal either.



As to the guy who did the 2JZ swap, yeah it does sound awesome.

It'd also be $30,000 just in labor to do it, so I'm gonna pass on that too.

That's the one thing I wish that Lexus did different, give us a 6sp man. with the 350, not just a slushbox.

i agree with you 100%, just because they don't have clue what to do to turbo a 250 they just say its a waste of time, anyone can buy a fast car but the true meaning of a enthusiast is the build,subaru brz comes with direct injection and runs 12.5.1 compression ratio an makes over 150hp to the wheels on a bone stock. if you don't know because of ignorance or just stupid about turbocharging shut the ****** up and stop telling people about trading in their cars fro a 350 or ISF , research and development and persistence and you will achieve your goals. push on

One of these days I'll get a single-turbo setup crammed all under the hood. If a 350Z or G35 can, we can!

There is a guy on this chat that dropped a IS350 engine in a IS250 6sp that sounds like fun but, I agree with a lot of guys that responded. A 2jz series engine would be a better platform do get high horsepower from but, the only person that did it lives in Florida and since I live in Florida too, I tried to contact him plenty of times to find out how did he do such a clean swap and worked out some of the bugs, he even got the push button to work with the 2jz. But I never got a response and he never did a build thread so all the secrets went with him. RR racing has a supercharger kit but , it's like 5,300 plus labor unless you are doing it yourself.

A single or twin turbo setup though is still an option which no one has really explored. If I had the time/money, I would now that it could be tuned; but alas, getting re-married to a non-car gal...not gonna happen. LOL!

Anyhow, tuck a single turbo in where the factory airbox is or fit twins in where the headers meet the midpipe. Oiling can be supplied via the ports near the factory oil filter. Just will need alot of one-off piping/welding.
