[IS200] What would you need for a reliable, safe, 220/225hp?
[IS200] What would you need for a reliable, safe, 220/225hp?
Just thinking out loud really, as it's highly unlikely I'll find a S/C kit for the money I'd be prepared to spend, or likewise do a turbo conversion, but curiosity demands I ask
Taking a stock, 85k, 200 lump, such as mine, and a TTE S/C kit, would else would be needed to get the power up to 220/225bhp, and if the plan was turbocharging, what would it entail to get the same level of power?
Also, which would give better torque?
(lastly, possibly a stupid Q, but I don't know - is the TTE S/C kit just for the 200, or can it be fitted to the 300 too? If it can, what does it bring the 300's 211bhp up to?)
Thanks!

purplewitch [COLOR="DarkOrchid"]What would you need? .... An IS300I agree. The 1G-FE in the IS200 is a very inefficient engine and there aren't a lot of options if you want more power, unless you want to spend loads of money.

no the tte sc kit will not fit the 300, im currently going through the motions of getting my charger install completed, had to wait for a custom setup, I eventually got hold of jimxms kit last year that he had on his car using a procharger c2 and everything is expensive lol
the easiest route to go would be to straight swap from an is200 to is300, the 300 is 211bhp as standard, add a decent exhaust and intake and you'll be near on 220 as long as the engine can still produce all the ponies through good maintenance and servicing.
It's a shame Europe didn't get the 3S-GE engine in the IS, but you could get an Altezza RS200 without having to sit on the wrong side of the car. I can't :tongue_smilie:
get saving then mate, or buy a tt supra
