awesome! cant wait to see some numbers and hear what its like. good luck to you sir!

 

Which optima battery did you go with? Any pictures of it installed?

 

I finally got the IS350 back this last weekend and drove it back home from Cali. Here are the latest pictures:

First the new carbon fibre hood:



A shot of the intercooler in the front bumper:



I couldn't get a good shot of the new supercharger. It's a procharger C1 and it's only running 5 lbs of boost for now. I'll jack the car up later and take some shots from underneath.

The front sway bar:


Rear sway bar:


The intake pipe:


Gutted interior:


The car was also lowered 1.2" in the front and 1" in the rear


Rear



I'm taking the car back to the drag strip tonight, so I'll post the results as soon as I can.

Still shopping for the right combination of tires/rims for it too.

Let me know what you guys think.

 

damn! u've been busy! looks sawweeeet! let us know how do at the track!

 

Painful to see the car dissected like that.

 

thats great! do you have a weight figure? also, got any more pics of the intake? yours looks different than the other LMS intakes i have seen. is it necessary to remove the engine cover to clear the strut bar?

 

Can't wait to see the numbers from the strip but how does the SC feel? It's gotta make a very noticeable difference.

What springs/coilovers did you go with?

 

How much are your hood and front sway bar?

 

ok, so when is someone going to point out that all these dynos have NOT used SAE correction?

 

so the C1 Charger requires a 3oz oil change every 6000 miles?

 

Yeah, Steve at LMS gave me a few bottles and showed me how I drain the oil from the supercharger and refill it. Here is the picture of the supercharger I said I would take earlier:




The latest power/weight ratio is:

3259/277.12 = 11.760

. The car pulls very nicely and lights up the rear tires if you get on it hard. I can't wait to get it to the drag strip and see what #'s it will put up. I should have another dyno by the end of the week. I'm not expecting a huge HP gain since it's running such low boost now.

 

How much? Do you feel a huge difference? whats the advertised HP gains?

 

So your hp is how much? 277!? That must be pre-supercharger numbers with intake and exhaust?

 

nice RoRo-I smell an eleven second IS brewing. you'll be sick of twelves in no time.

 

You'll have to contact LMS to find out how much they're going to be selling the kit for.

My #'s pre-supercharger were 277 @ the wheels with intake/exhaust.

My drag strip times were 13.1@105 before the supercharger.
