IS200 Turbo HELP needing assistance
IS200 Turbo HELP needing assistance
i have plans in the next few weeks to turbo charge my IS200. Im wondering if anyone on here has done this and know much information about it, if anyone has any instructions or tips that would be a life saver.
Also im planning to look at the kit from TurboKits(dot)com has anyone used these or herd anything of it? ill be upgrading to the Garrett T28 turbo. If you guys have any recommendations id greatly love to hear them.
Im hoping someone has first hand experience with step by step turboing thier is200.

06-05-2020, 06:01 AM #2Oh also the turbo is a whole kit, the guy from the site said theres no fabrication needed as everything is bolt on, price is around $3200 USD including upgraded turbo from Garrett T25 to Garret T28
Personally id go for a modified 1/2jz manifold adapted to a 1gfe flange, make your own pipe work (if not had with some straights and angled silcone). Then use an emanage ultimate or AEM unit as mapping.
The only bit that needs making is the down pipe that any competent exhaust place can do for you.
As for first hand experience, its not cheap, its not simple. But is rewarding when done!

06-05-2020, 07:01 AM #4Is this a kit for the is200, or the same kit they sell for the is300. I have a feeling they will send the wrong manifold, and a very cheap turbo. Please check that it is for a UK spec car, as they were never imported into the USA, so they wouldn't have access to the vehicle for fabrication purposes and quite frankly no need to make such a kit as there will be no domestic interest.

I also enquired about changing the turbo to the t28 turbo which was not a problem.
He said no fabrication was needed.
I'm thinking giving it a go and if all goes well after it is setup and later down the track ill swap Internals then get a emanage/haltech and get it tuned and push more power. And change any nessesary parts.

06-05-2020, 07:42 AM #5I've spoken with one of the guys from the site and fair bit asking question after question. They have good customer support, they say its a kit for the 1g-fe engine so for 6cylinder 2 litre engine. They said the kit comes with everything so

I know of the kit as well and am interested in it as well but heard that the turbo manifold is not a full manifold and only comes with a "half manifold", so i'd love to see the results of this and see some pictures to see if the reviews on other forums is accurate, please let us know how you get on...
