with all that modifs, the price must be higher than an IS300 ?

And how many more horse power do you expect?

Thanks for your replies

Vince,

I have no idea what the price of an IS300 is in the UK, as for power gain, i'm off to get the car dyno'd when it has been back into TDi for the last few bits. The car goes back to TDi on 21st October so should be able to give you the info then

IS200 IS300

Price 20230 26700

Weight 1380 1500

Power 155 215

Price difference is 6470, this will get you:

Super Drager 355

Super Charger 3900

UniChip ECU 550

This should give you about 220 - 230 HP and leave 1665, you could spend this on more engine work (manifolds, boost upgrade, induction kit etc) or work on the suspension:

TTE Coilover kit 795

CUSCO Front and Rear Strut 200

TTE roll bars 325

Still leaves 345, get an induction kit made (say 320) and put the remaining 25 for your TeamLexus GoldMemebership :D

Overall you will have a 230 - 240HP IS200 that weights 100kg less than the IS300 but cost the same.

If you intend to go very high horsepower the IS300 is more suitable than the IS200 since the engine has already been widely tuned.
