JoeZ Exhaust- $1600
JoeZ Intake- $400-800(random guess)
MHP Tune- $1700
Thats high 3k's to 4k for around IDK... Lets say 400whp on 93 give or take some numbers. Great thing about this is you will probably keep your warranty.

If you were to custom fabricate a Twin Turbo setup(Something ive started to do in my spare time) you could make upward of 500Whp on a stock computer. My planned cost is $5500 but i expect it to be in the 6K range.

Now my question- Is 400whp all motor and with warranty better than a turbo Isf without?

What do you guys think would be the better choice?

I would personally take the 400whp with a warranty over a turbo'd F without. If I wanted more horses I would take the money and put it towards a faster car with a warranty from the factory. I've done stuff to my previous cars that voided my warranty then later ran into some problems where I really shouldn't have done such work and needed the warranty. I personally told myself I wouldn't do anything like that again because of the chance that something could go seriously wrong with a car again.

PS The Joe Z intake is only a tube and I believe around $150.

Geez - I hope (think) you're wrong



My estimate was more like $80 to $100. I'm waitin' for one

No way - Joe's intake pipe should be around $100.
I thought MHP "tunes" were more than that?

I believe the Transmission tune and the Ecu tune are sold separately as well as together.

LexISguy

There is a group buy for the MHP tune. The JoeZ intake should be no more than $150-$175.

You need to remember that putting the twin turbo system in the ISF will require more rubber on the road as well. Considering I can't keep the tires from spinning with factory power, another 100+ would be ridiculous on stock rims and tires. So add another $4-5k for option B. Joe Z intake is more like 125-150 btw. There's a lot to think about when it comes to that much power. Way more than I have experience with so I'll stop typing now.

I paid $130 for my Joe-Z intake anodized blue.

Well, we each have our own idea about how much it will cost. And these mean absolutely nothing The only one that will really count is JoeZ You talkiin' Joe

Edit - Maybe we have a winner - Big Mike

I personally would do all the mods i could intake exhaust tune, but no turbo for the reason it may have problems. now if this was a toy car like my STI then i would do whatever! i may try to do a supercharger or turbo when it comes out but i dont need this car!

I'm curious to see just now much power the car makes with a Intake Exhaust Tune setup. Also,i want to see how the tune helps on the 1/4 mile.

Id also stay with a warrantied All motor....

Turbo'd system, as many tuners w/ aftermarket turbo systems can vouch, might rise more problems than an all motor set up tuned directly from the factory..the Exhaust, Intake are basic bolt ons...MHP tune might be more intensive...

but tuning a forced induction to maximum capacity would also involve mannyyyy hours of tweakin and tuning which unless you DIY, a highly qualified tech will cost a pretty penny on top of the parts/labor
That my 2 pennies

I say Turbo that bad boy and push it there should be no debate here on this

you know what you want so just pull the trigger and make it happen You can be the first on the street, not as a prototype car, leading the way while others are trying to keep up with you

+1 One of reasons I love visiting the Club Lexus forums is to see members who push the envelope. If you have the ways & means to turbo your ISF, go for it!
