Default SRT Turbo Kit for GS300/IS300 for under 4K

Details are in the Swift Racing Forum!

Here is the post

I had to go see this product myself, and let me tell you, I was IMPRESSED! So thats why SRT has been soooo quiet?!?!?!?? hee hee hee

Anyway, I saw the IS that was used for development, and research, and these guys put in the R&D! The kit looks clean, and the sound of it! Man, I was like "WHOA!". Didn't get a chance to get a test ride, but I did see the dyno chart. AND THAT FREAKIN PRICE?!?!?!? Under 4K? I'm jealous!!!

No turbo lag! Straight torque curve! And the units are ready to go! I know there is a buzz on IS300.net, soooo if you know that these going to get snapped up! Now I have to worry about the Lexus little brothers (IS/GS3), coming at their big brother (GS4)! Thanks SRT!

If all is as you say, it looks like SRT has just stomped there foot down once again....This time in a market where there is a rather large demand for that type of product for that type of price....Way to go SRT!!!!!! Tiny

heh heh im gonna liek this mod...

ima wait a couple of months though.. incase any bugs show up .... plus might as well jump to stage 2 or 3 when they come out.. 275rwhp sounds good.. but i bet stage 2-3 would bring alot more

BTW how much HP would it need to stay up or mayb even beat a 6spd M5 ??? just wondering... a friend has one... always wanna race.... haha i knwo ima loose bad now... so just wondering ... mayb ill gte him after a turbo.

I thick you would need 350hp at the tire to run with the new M5 but 275 at the tires is faster than me (13.9) in the 1/4 I have about 258hp at the tires now.

I woud say you would need about 340-350 to beat the M5...
But, even with the stage-1 you would smoke MANY MANY cars you would have previously lost to...
-Mustang GT
-2002 Maxima
-GS400/430
-2003 350Z
-WRX
-Audi S4
-BMW 540is
-Benz E430
etc.,etc., etc...........

but then again guys..... buckwild said he got his setup for 6,700$ and it was a custom setup...

540hp crank

around 446RWHP!!!

for 3grand more i think its worth it...

PHR is doing a custom project on IS300's charging like 7grand for a 400+RWHP IS so im sure they can do something like that with my GS..... Then show that M5 Whats up... haha

_______________________________
Still thats 3 grand more and its a big 3 grand you know what I mean. $3700 is a great deal for forced induction and its a turbo even. still alot of dough however its affordable for some when $6 or$7000 is a little out of reach or just more than most will spend on a mod.
