Look guys and gals...

I have a IS 350 from 2007 .....before that a 2004 IS 300.....which was able to be supercharged...I can give total mod details from struts and coils to bars and intake and exhaust....to wheels and calipers to carbon fiber brake lines....and dual custom headers....with custom slotted drilled rotors....it is a challenge....nere.....a collaboration that we find a super charger solution for this new engine?

Second, I was quoted going from Granite to the Electric Blue of the newer ISF....for a paint job....any thoughts, said party said all in detail would be $3500.....?

There are quite a few S/C members on here.

Would the paint job include painting the door jams I hope?

Evolveus

Thank you for the reply....


The paint job issue is 3500 with jams.....That blue was just head turning....

I have a lot of plans....but the only S/C I have seen is one...and it only adds like 40 hp at the wheel...and the other one was discontinued....

Am I missing something on the S/C front?.....

You bought the wrong car if you are looking to do a lot of engine performance upgrades. The ECU is locked and severely limits your options.

I'm boosted, just received another supercharger from Japan to boost my girlfriends car too. There's also plenty of info on the forums to boost your own and build your own kit.

Same boat as you but with a 250.
From what I understand and can comfortably fathom, a supercharger setup for myself (inspired by the words of HeyArms) is not for power (I have a 250 after all), but to be unique.
But if you are going for power, there are some people that push the pace in that department for sure... I've seen many threads on the forum, but you may have to dig a bit as they are a bit older post-wise.
Happy hunting!

The IS350 is a quick car that performs very well, super reliable, and can out perform a good portion of what is on the road. Unfortunately, if you are wanting to take it to the next level, it will cost you a fair amount and you won't get the same bang for the buck as a lot of other cars.

Novel has unlocked the ecu for ISF so i dont think that will be difficult for them to unlock our ECU. If you have money and time you can make mods in the engine

Well, it has been almost 10 years and no one has unlocked the North American IS350 ECU yet....

To tell you the truth, i am not care about us models. My car is European model and i wait my mechanic to complete my SC installation in my is250

Don't let people discourage you from trying to s/c the car. It's a bolt on mod and can be done in your driveway for less than $50/whp with the right setup.

That is a heck of a lot better than the $150/hp an f-sport exhaust will give you, and the same people who bought that will tell you to just buy an ISF and give up your boost dreams. Those are the same people who told me that I'd get 40whp, and couldn't reliably more 5.5lbs of boost. Mike Lucci's dyno got 372whp, and I got 358whp w/ belt slip. Same setup.

Oh, and the 4.08 gears eat IS-Fs for breakfast until up past 100mph. Happy boosting.

Once my IS350 is no longer my DD, I'm still seriously considering being the first DOCUMENTED in-engine bay single or turbo IS350. Just cannot have my only vehicle be down for the amount of time it'll take to do the work on it to work out all of the bugs, fab work, etc.

I miss having an open wastegate dumptube!
