^^^ Lol... an even slower IS250.

I feel bad for that guy... It would really suck to have a regular Corolla blow the doors off a supercharged IS250.

No it's not an lms kit.. It's s custom kit and it makes ur car faster.. Boosts from 6-albs depending on the pulley you use.. Use a vortech supercharger.. Lms uses procharger.. Anyways also developing an is350 kit right now..

The market for a 2IS supercharger is weak due to the fact that it's cheaper (and more reliable) to upgrade the model (250->350->F) than it is to add forced induction.

From the few CL members who installed the supercharger, you're only going to net 60whp tops. Cost for materials will be around $6000, not including installation ($1K, perhaps?).

Nitrous will give you a better bang for the buck.
I agree supercharging an auto IS250 makes no sense, but supercharging a manual that's another story.

Kit is still being put together..
The kit I'm getting we are trying to push 8lbs.. Looking at maybe 80hp.. The beauty of this kit is that u can change the pulley thus changing how much boost ur pushing.. And the pulley is about like $70 from vortech.. Due to the forums guidelines I'm not suppose to sell or blah blah.. So pm anyone interested on price.. U guys can wait til the kit is done for my car.. Should be done in about 2-3 weeks

Are you using anything for fuel/engine management? Because everything I've seen from other folks who tried running more than 6psi they were running outta fuel up top without that... HKS350's the only one I've seen get around this and he had to custom wire in the FCON from japan to do it.
