Default 2013 IS350 Engine Performance

Hello everyone.
Since last year I have become a proud owner of a 2013 is350 Fsport (also new to CL). I really love the 2nd gen IS & everything about it! But one minor problem I am having an issue with is finding internal engine performance parts. My guess is 2nd gen IS350/250 owners are limited. Could someone please help me out & point me in the right direction please.

So far my car is completely stock except tints & a Takeda short ram intake I bought from modinjapan.com.

Also currently looking for a carbon fiber rear windshield spoiler. Seibon does not make one & I kinda don't want to take chances with ebay.
Please help!

There isn't much in the way of internals for the 2IS, it's pretty much just simple bolt-ons.

The fitment on the ebay rear roof spoilers are pretty dang good, it's just the paint/clear that is awful. There's a huge thread about roof spoilers around here somewhere.

Thank you so much for your reply.
I will check out the rear roof spoiler thread & find out more about it.

I hope one day there will be more for 2nd gen.
I would like to do a little performance & styling to my car. Thank you again!

With the recent tunability of the ECU, we have a few tuners currently looking at developing new engine performance upgrades for the 2GR-FSE engine.

OrangeVirus Tuning is said to be working on a camshaft and valve springs upgrade to allow the IS350 to achieve 8,000RPMs.

RR-Racing is currently working on a supercharger kit for the 3IS350 and would also build a kit for the 2IS350 if there is enough demand for it.

I bought an OEM trunk spoiler / roof spoiler combo for like 180.00. Pre painted in tungsten pearl. Fit and finish is spot on. ( for now) lol. For 180.00 , what the heck . Worth a shot. JUN-TW makes a cf roof spoiler and I think most of the replicas are based off of theirs.

There isn't much to get as of right now. Redspencer hit the nail on the head with what is potentially happening in the future, but parts you can get now that add HP:

PPE Headers (12-16whp) $1200
RR Racing Tune (12whp) $800
OVTuning Tune (18 - 24whp) $350 - 600
F Sport Intake (5whp) $300
Exhaust [various] (6 - 12whp) $400 - 1600

I am planning on getting the headers and the OV Tune as they add the most HP.

Hope this helps.

Since when is the OV tune $900? Their bench tune is $350 and their new hand held tuner is $650.

You're right, just checked right now. I remember seeing the 2IS tune a few days back at $895. My mistake.

Sorry if I sound dumb but is the RR and OVTuning two separate tunes that you get, or do you pick one or the other? I just got my 2011 is350 awd two weeks ago.

Two different companies: Orange Virus Tuning and RRRacing. The guyys at RRracing are very supportive and knowledgeable. They offer quite a few different parts for our platform.

Members seem to not get the customer service they deserved from the OV guys. I'd definitely recommend going with the RR Racing tune, especially since they continue to build upon the platform that others don't!
