I'm kinda new to Intakes and stuff anyways:

As I realized, there is only one F-sport intake, that means it fits on both IS250 & IS350 right? if yes, would it be possible to fit on my 2nd generation IS300? I know that you guys never experienced the 2IS300 before, but maybe it's an easy answer to the enthusiasts

Thanks.

 

Does the IS300 have a 3.0 V6 or a 3.0 I6?

If its the inline 6 then I would doubt it... take a pic of your engine compartment and lets see

 

Post a pic of your engine bay with all the covers off. I am pretty sure it will fit.

 

it's V6, pictures soon.

 

isnt it the same engine that is in the IS300, 1st gen for the states? I think this may be totally different.

Drill a whole in the quater panel area and go full custom CAI...

 

no, it's the same engine of the 3rd Gen GS300 (2005-2006?) and same Engine cover.

the word custom scares me :'( lol

 

my engine cover has hexagon screws! I don't see any screws on your engine covers.. the big deal is I think one of the screws got broken while I'm trying to open I'll try again later when I have the free time.

 

Im 99% sure that F-Sport Intake will fit our car, we have the same intake as the ISx50, ill double check tomorow morning with the dealer if someone would be kind enough to give me the part numbers for the intake, ill post the Mid east ones up tom

its the same engine as Middle east/China market 3rd Gen GS300, the US/JDM version had port injection and therefore also more power than ours


Our engine cover is different but essentially removing it will be the same despite diff bolt types, I have not attempted to removed the engine cover yet but i did remove the ones around the sides and front of the engine bay and those have those stupid clips that break easily when u try and remove them.




Rashood, try removing the snorkel until u get the F sport or whatever intake, its fun and the car will sound better at high RPMS. Its real easy and its even easier to reinstall it

 

ndk83, I don't want to do the snorkel part, I want to do the real thing


here are the pictures guys!











ehh.. sandy

 

do it in the mean time

wow we have an ugly engine lol

 

that what the covers are for.. haha

 

damn...your engine is extremely dusty....

 

i think ill fit! TRY IT!!! GL

 

according to wikipedia the 1st gen is300s have the 2JZ-GE engine, where as the 2nd gen IS300s have the 3GR-FE http://www.lexus.com.bh/lexus_cars/i...ifications.asp
