Superchaged Is200 For Sale

[billybandit]

this is for sale on eBay. whats the thing above the alternator, like a chrome pot.

Mmm, was looking at that earlier. Some interesting bits ...

Has a seperate clutch reservoir instead of tee'd into brakes.

Looks like a blow off valve fitted... above alternator.

Airbox appears to be early f/glass type so very early kit.

Interesting...

I didn't think that you could get a blow off valve for the TTE supercharger?? And anyway....why would it be over there??

[TonyGoose]

Presumably the seller is a Janspeed employee - given the pictures and location.

Lexus GB supplied Janspeed with s/c kits to do some development work - apparently ;)

No reason not to have a blow off valve i s'pose... if that's what it is.

The tube into the throttle body looks a bit different too...

AAAHHHH! I drive past Janspeed every morning on my way into work and have seen this car pulling in. :)

I presume it belongs to a Janspeed employee.

I thought it was turbo'ed though as Janspeed used to specialise in turbo conversions. B)

Also someone told me the other day that Janspeed have an IS200 race team but I haven't actually seen any details of that.

Anyway I can confirm it is a very clean car and has a large "Janspeed" sticker all across the rear bumper.

i have been informed that the supercharger was fitted by janspeed

as was the exhaust system

and that the car was owned by one of the managers !!

Interesting to look at the metal pipe from the side of the s/c.

It's got a large 'JANSPEED' logo branded into it - Hmmm....

That's an HKS SQV dump valve. It shouldn't be necessary because the compressor by bypass valve recirculates the compressed air on a closed throttle Unless it has been deactivated). Maybe he likes the dump valve sound :)

Could just be for the sound ...
