I think I stumbled across bull**** but Im not 100% sure, the guy is sellin a 2000 es300 for 5k.. now I thought that was cheap but heres what makes me think its an imaginary ES300.. Heres the post about this twinturbo ES.

WTF?!?!? From what I understand the only options for boost in the ES is a custom turbo but its not twin or the Camry TRD supercharger kit with modifications. I highly doubt there's a twin turbo ES out there if there is I want to know who has it and where they live so I can jack them.

A twin turbo is possible on a 1MZFE. There was a kit from Topline of Japan for the Estima minivan. However, I don't know about the spacing issues of those vans compared to an ES or even to my RX300. Moreover, I would rather go single turbo unless there was some greater benefit through (and I have a friend with an RX7 who does this) the engine management system switch from sequential to making the turbos act in tandem for more power (I drag my RX so that is where I want my advantage). Pheonix knows more about this than I do and I will be asking for his help when I turbo my RX.

There is also an RX on cardomain that has been claiming a turbocharger for awhile, but again no photos.

BTW, the Supra engine would not fit right, I asked this question before.

1. Twin Turbo Estima?! Hell yeah, they know how to do it on that side of the pacific.

2. Reading the guy's profile mentions a high school he goes too, it's BS.


Someone oughta message him the huge HP upgrade from removing his MAF...
