If ISF available in your area, just trade and change to ISF will make you more fun.

At a price tag of 200000$ here in Greece it's better to ge an apartment and have a monthly income of 700$ from the rent hehe.

Yeah from everything I've seen the US is somewhat unique in the relatively small (20-30%) price jump from 350->F (or the really tiny 8-10% price jump from 250->350)

I can't understand why the IS350 isn't an option to European market and Lexus brings only the 250 and F in IS family.
They even import the LS600h which btw costs 250000$ here in Greece

Nope I mean oem piston & rod of 4GR-FSE that I ship out from here was arrive at US supplier. They had ship it to Pauter and CP. Both company required around 4-6 weeks to finish custom order.

I only have a pic of my factory piston & rod.

You guys in the States have better options than moding ISx50s.
And if i had the option of getting a 350 for 3000$ (2000 Euros) more i wouldn't think of spending that money to boost a 250.
Or even 10000 for an IS-F.
With the new management i'm aiming at 11:1 AFR and that's why i searched for it and not so much for the extra 15 i hope to get.
The stock motor can handle 7 psi of boost without melting anything.
Beleive me that every day i squeeze the car to it's limits.
My theory is that because of the nature of the centrifugal compressors which produce their peak at high rpm, the motor doesn't suffers that much because i have 5 psi until 6000 rpm and i see 7.1 psi at red line which doesn't last that much to do any damage.
When i'm cruising on highway with 100 or 120 miles per hour my boost is zero because you need to step on it in order for the BOV to shut and deliver pressure to the manifold.
In city driving i don't see more than 3 psi in any circumstances.
What i'm trying to say is that the kit works very well along with our motor and the car is still civilized and comfort.
Only when you stepping hard on it the motor shows its teeth and you must be very stupid to ride at WOT on 6th gear for too long with 13:1 AFR.
To melt something even at 13:1 you need more than 60 seconds at WOT and red line.
My top speed is 162 miles per hour and i could hold it only for a few seconds.
Even a three lane road shrinks a lot in these speeds.
The only drawback is that i always use premium gas 100 octane.
I beleive that i gave you the picture.

I hit 165 miles per hour and I think it's the top speed of stock IS350.
Cause in that point, it changes 5th gear to 6h gear but stock's 6th has no power to keep that speed so it chages back to 5th immediately.
It happens over and over.

I thinks supercharged IS350 could go higher on 6th. (I hope so, cause I'm planning to install HKS's)


Anyway, ISs in Greece have no speed limiter?
I broke it with HKS VAC, though.

My ride comes with M/T so it deoesn't shifts to 5th automatically.
I think that a 350 with a 7 psi S/C kit will have the power to go beyond 165.
As it seems they don't come with speed limiters in Europe.
I know for a fact that the European GS and LS models have speed limiter.
Perhaps because mine is an early August 2005 manufactured model doesn't have a governor.

I need to know if the 2GR-FSE Cylinder head on the right side in this pic shares the same 2 Bolt holes below the VVT gears...
I have a project in the works and need a picture.

the new 2011 Mustang gets 416hp, and with a few bolt ons for under 5k, you should easily be around 450hp

If you're talking about the two on the right side I don't think so. When I compared to toyota diagrams and looking at some pictures it doesn't look like it, only the Plug screw seems to be in common.

Here is a whole page of 335 running 11s.
To make IS 350 fast all you need is PPE Headers, knn cold air intake and just those 2 it pulls hard , I personally have a rear mount turbo on my lexus IS 350 and my car so far has not seen any tail lights.
