Tom's Supercharger:
 
Well I get to become an IS owner again in a year after I get back from Iraq :woohoo:

Have been looking at parts, kits, wheels etc..

Then I saw the Tom's SC for the 350

Anyone have info on it?

Thanks

Yeah suppose I can look for more FI apps

It is done.
Next day right after it was completed by my local HKS facility, I took it to a local car gathering/show with "Team Solo" in San Francisco.
I will try to make another more official post when I am free.

Nice man

And yeah I know Team Solo ;)

So all in all what was the final cost?

Where did you purchase the kit?

What are some of the odds and ends you had to get?

And damn, I may have to come out to cali just to get it installed, no one where I live can do it

why the hell would you want it? 10k for basically torque? i mean the HP increases are laughable. sell car, put 10k towards IS-F

^ It's his choice. It's original, and maybe he is attached to his IS350. I think what he did was cool, extremely original!

The supercharger that has been tested is the Blitz one, correct? That's the one with the tourque increase but the couple of horsepower added. The TOM's supercharger hasn't given out specs yet, which is why there is a comotion about it.

Maybe only you don't want it, but i'd sure want it on my 350.

i agree. 60K for the IS-F with full factory warranty, 400 hp, upgraded brakes, upgrades suspension, and upgraded everything.

:woohoo:

Mystery_is Jan 18, 2008 03:14 PM

An IS-F would be ideal

Although I can not get over the fenders...would love to drive one to see

I will have cash, so a payment isn't an issue :uh:

kikaida Jan 18, 2008 06:41 PM

Simply awesome! When some people said its not possible you went ahead and did it. :thumbup:

Truly unique, yes you could probably spend little more and get an IS-F but how many do you hear of a supercharged IS350? Congrats josephdoc :) Cant wait to see some vid's.

BTW what did the ppl at Tom's say now that you have it working? I bet they would have to say their supercharger is for Japan and US spec cars. :thumbup:
