What's up guys,

I know there's many threads and discussion about turbochargers and superchargers for the 2ISX. But, I'm pretty sure everyone is familiar with the Artisan Twin Turbo IS-F from turbochargers.com. Anyways, I spoke with a representative from turbochargers and supposedly, they have plans for a single turbo kit in the works for the IS350. They already have the test car lined up and something should be ready by the end of this month. I don't know how reliable this is, but figure I share with members who are still interested in the forced induction route. Keep your fingers crossed.

 

hm....what about for IS250?? lol

 

Supercharger > Turbo

Due to the high compression, we wont be able to boost that much and once boost kicks in (unliek an SC) it would be pointless.... i wanna see this when it comes out... hopefully its good but then again the SC is always on boost...

just my .02 cents

 

Did they say if it's a bolt on kit (which means it'll run the same lame 5 lbs of boost every other FI kit runs) or if they're going to offer a conversion like what they showed on the IS-F

(where you basically rebuild the entire engine with more turbo friendly parts, which would permit a lot more boost, but be pretty insanely costly)

 

He didn't go into details as what the kit involves, but I told him to keep me in the loop of the on going project. I agree that it might be pretty expensive. Just another option I guess.

 

wish they are also talking about 250 too...

 

Cool information, let us know if they make anything official. I'm still waiting for more 411 about the S. Africa SC kit for the IS250's.
