So most of us know that Lexus, just came out with an NX. And It has a TURBO!! Well anyway, has anyone thought of putting it in our SLOW is250? I heard it was lighting than out 2.5 v6 and you could always upgrade the turbo right? Does anyone know anything about this new motor?

 

Or you can wait till around September of this year for the IS200t..

 

Thanks I didnt know there was going to be a IS200t

 

You cannot the nx is fwd

 

I'd wait for the IS200t also but im happy with my 350 for now.

 

They are coming out with a RWD application of the engine to be used in the IS, GS, and RC.

 

I will wait for this IS200t.

 

Bye bye low end torque. I wouldn't trade my 350 v6 for 2 liter turbo.

 

The AR is already used in some RWD applications (the 2AR in the IS300h for example), so I would expect mounting the 8AR-FTS in a RWD application wouldn't be too hard for Lexus.
