ok when i get the is300 witch i am planing to get manual what can i do with it to get more hp i would like to get a turbo for it but dont see many people doing this and am only going to put $5000-$7000 on the engine and i dont what to supercharger it becuse it many rob me of power but its easy to maintain what do you recomend me to do or put on the engine and were can i go to get it

 

there seems to be more support on turbo

 

What's a trubo and superchrager? Must be German. Perhaps you can proofread and use punctuation for everyone to understand? Thanks.

The turbo will yield you power but if you want reliability for everyday driving, a supercharger kit will probably be the most practical.

 

why is that

 

Do more research first before you ask questions like this. www.howthingswork.com

 

i know how a turbo works ask me any question on a turbo and i'll answer it

 

Then why are you asking us???

As for robbing power, a centrifugal supercharger that is used on the IS kits uses very little power to operate, nothing compared to the power it adds. Turbo is nice, but it all depends on how far you want to go. The supercharger kits, since they tend to be less hp require less on the fuel side to keep it properly tuned. I personally would consider the vortech kit from PLP, mostly because that is about all the power I would really need, and keeping the car easy to control on the racetrack is something important to me. Remember, the more power you make, the more you can brake, and the more expensive the parts are to upgrade, especially if you are planning to do much drag racing.

 

TURBO!
But for now, if i were you, i would save up 7K that you are planning to supercharge or turbo mod, and wait for 2006 GS300. ( i mean if you really don't need a car right away) it's just my 2 cents.

 

im planing to selling my car for the lexus is300 but the only way i would buy this car is if i get a turbo for it. im also planing on getting the car crashed so i can spend more money on the engine

 

I sure would love to be your insurance agent. You'd be blacklisted for life.

 

 

I dont get what you mean by this brother. why are you so crazy about turbo? are you planning to buy a car in the morning and get a force induction in the afternoon? i think ( as you stated in another fourm, you want to get T-70 turbo on 2JZ) before you get T-70, there're tons of things to do inorder to match that force induction(*correct me if i am wrong please). You said you know everything about turbo but here you said you would get the IS300 only if you can get turbo for it. I dont really understand what you mean.
You are planning on getting the car crashed??!!! trust me, you dont want to do that. i give you a better idea. why dont you tell your insurance agency that you misplaced your can and you cant recall where you keep it? that's a lot better i think. and why do you want to spend more money on the engine when you car is already totalled? you just want the engine turbo charged and use it on the electric generator?
I am sorry if these offense you ( and i dont mean to offense you or anyone) but your words are more confusing than the organic chemistry.

 

hahaha LOL
Car's gonna look horrible if its wrecked not to mention bent frame or damage to engine!

 

this guy has no idea what is up against hahahaahahahah

what are your goals buddy? 300rwhp? 11sec 1/4 miles times?? 500rwhp? alot of speeding tickets? altezza taillights and pssst?

 

Hi all, first time poster...

I have also heard that you can find wrecked (but not necessarily trashed) is300's for around $7-8k.

put the $8k into bodywork, and for $15-16k you may have a car that would have cost about $22-23k used for a comparable example.

Is this true, or realistic?

going on the turbo vs.supercharger theme, while it may make sense that you can have an out of the box, bolt-on or nearly bolt-on s/c kit for the is300that makes an additional (how much? about) 50-58hp to the wheels, isn't it true that you have more flexibility and more upgradeability if you choose the turbo route?
