What about a TRD supercharger like the ones found on the Solara,I'm pretty sure those fit the ES300...As for me I'm leaving my ES300 stock from the engine,but I"m going to lower it and install some IS300 wheels,I'm going to leave the engine upgrading for my SC300(MT) and swap a 2JZ-GTE...

My car is pretty much stock because its too cherry to mod
The only things ive done are advanced base timing, lean out AFM, threw in Denso Iridium plugs, Vitek wires, new cap/rotor, Castrol Syntec 5-30 and thats pretty much it. The 5 speed helps too. I run only OEM oil/air/fuel filters. I routine clean up the IAC, TB, and Intake chamber and it purrs like a kitty. Once I get my valves back into spec shell be good to go; i wish i could find shims though
Maybe my Solara one day will be juiced up, since there alot more available parts than a gen 2 ES 300

hey all!!! I noticed today when i rotated my tires that the mecanic said the tires are wearing funny, that there is deff something wrong with my alignment! I also noticed when driving around 80 miles an hour the car begins to shake but then calms down, but then skaes again after about another 50 or so feet! I am wondering what this is! is this the alignment? and wtf is this gona cost me! omg, and then, I also need a new power steering pump. The car only has great power stearing when my rpms r high! like driving, but when parellel parking, the car is a hastle to turn. What is this? Is it the pump? What kinda pump should i buy? I hope anyone can help me! I am a bit low on cash with work and school and such and i dont know how much more im gona be able to put into my car. This is really hurting me! well thanks again all for posting on my thread
HEY EVERYONE!
I am making this thread so I can see what others have done to increase HP in there ES300! If you can please list the product installed/company+website it can be purchased at and also the year of the car the product was put in that would be great! And of course say how much HP was actually added and the cost of the part!

This is probably useless to all of us... but it's part of performance...
But it only applies to turbo setups with water spray kits at the intercooler. If you use alcohol, you will gain more HP than using water. This was tested on my cousin's Evo VIII.
