LexusNath · April 29, 2012

Hi, iv recently become a member and iv notice quite a few people have supercharged their is200's. i was wondering where i could pick up a supercharger kit and advice on fitting and prices?

Many thanks

Try a google search they show up occasionally as complete kits normally using an Eaton M62 charger, there are some members on the forum who have already SCd their Is200s who may be able to point you in the right direction.

TTE Supercharger kits are not easy to come by and go in the region of £2K

Rotrex sc's are about 5K if i remember right, turboing is cheaper though. Engine swaps are also popular say for the 2JZgte.

No matter what its gonna cost alot. If you can afford it, look at all the options first and decide what you want out of the car.

Good luck.

Thanks for the replies, i'll definatly have to look into the options available, ill be able to keep fitting costs down as im a mechanic.

u would be better off buying an altezza and doing an interior swap, 2k for a tte supercharger kit or 2k for an entire altezza with a beams engine that wipes the floor with a 1gfe

I'll give you £250 for it. Only if it's the full kit with the intercooler and all the bits.

http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/index.php?showtopic=78983 thy going 2nd hand for tht price so 250 i aint selling it for that plus just got papers off my mate it cost over 2k wen was brought off lexus sooo there be no bargain for you sorry mate

Well it's entirely your decision but you have to remember that you are selling something that you do not know is working or not, so the seller could be buying a duff piece. I'm not sure many would be willing to pay that kind of money on a chance. If I was to pay a £1000 for one it would be one that the seller could verify was working before it was removed.

To pay a mechanic to take it off will cost a fair bit, at least 3 hours to remove it and that's if he knows what he's doing. Double that if he's new to it. I'd remove it myself and that would save you a considerable amount.

It was 2k from new but that was 70,000 miles ago and you are in dreamland if you think you'll get it for that price.

By the lack of interest in this I would say my offer was a realistic one mate. It's up to you mate, good luck with the sale.
