That is Correct
An IS250 here in Greece with all the goodies on costs 74000$ US
An ISF 138000$ US
IS350 Not an option.
Same prices all around Europe give it more or less.

Congrats on the gains.

Are the prices of all cars inflated to this extent?
How much would a 335 and a c350 cost?

Thanks
A BMW 335 full equipped costs 95000$
A Mercedes c3350 BLUE EFFICIENCY costs 97000$ and a c350 CDI 95000$
In Germany prices are 15% less.
Petrol costs 7$ per Gallon Diesel 6$
Average salary 35000$ per year
1 EUR = 1.49734 USD

Well done! Those are some impressive gains. Slap on a supercharger and u might be encroaching on IS 350 territory.

Supercharger? There's no such thing, It doesn't exist or can't be done. Too much $$$$ - blah blah blah

Just kidding

Yeah, I know what you mean. I kind of ignore the HP number and focus on the TQ as well as 1/4 mile ET and MPH. The trap speed was 96.7 MPH at 6k' above sea level which seems very good.

It's a bit if a stretch but the NHRA would correct that to anywhere between 100 - 105mph.

Spoke to these guys over the phone a month ago.
They said that have only install one kit as a prototype.
They are now in the process of finalize the kit and write down an installation manual.
But in order to start selling the thing the need to install it in one more car they said.
About the gains they cliam that their numbers are correct.
For me though is very difficult to beleive that they extracted so much power with 0.5 boost from a 4GR-FSE.
Kit will have a tag price at 6600$ US without exhaust system plus freight.

For the ISx50 community as a whole, I am glad that more people are showing some interest in this kit.
I’ve been following up with RGM for over a year about the progress. Unfortunately, the price is not a good fit for my current financial situation (new house, new kid etc…) - darn this economy.

I can only hope that they want to take a chance and sponsor me or something.

The power gain questions stem from the unusually low base dyno numbers for the stock IS250. The WHP was somthing like a 30% down from the advertised 204BHP. The car must have had a flat tire on the dyno? I am guessing that they used this 30% in reverse to estimate the SC BHP from the measured SC WHP. Not the best idea IMO.

I certainly hope u decide to go through with it.....Its just a matter of months before I myself will order a dual exhaust and cat+header system for my is250.

BTW why no JoeZ or F Sport Intake??? Its probably the cheapest 5 HP u could harness from ure car.Moreover u might even yield better results as u already have an upgraded exhaust.
