Engine Conversion Beams In A Is200

[kris_t]

hi for some strange reason iv got some spare cash burning a hole in my pocket and am considering putting a altezza beams motor in myis200 sport

just want to find out hot much work and money will be involved?

[Rob's Lexx]

IMHO, not worth it mate.

[Parthiban]

Can't see the point of the transplant mate as you can just swap your IS for an Altezza - much easier and cheaper.

If you want to do a transplant, makes more sense to drop in the Supra engine or similar as others are doing :)

[Fargo]

or buy an IS300

[kris_t]

is300s are all auto and like my manual

was thinking it would be a easy job

and altezza are to basic

my be super charger then but herd lots of horror stories

[Rob]

what horror stories????

[kris_t]

loosing power destroying engines

[Matt Hillyard]

Super charger is the way to go and even after the charger is fitted theres still loads of room under the bonnet.

[kris_t]

i realy need to be taken out is a is200 with a charger went in altezza beams and was very impressed compared to my is

[Rob's Lexx]

i'm going to try and organise a midlands meet soonish so get down to that. i'll take you for a spin in my charged IS if you like? trust me mate, you'll want one after u've beenin one!!

[kris_t]

sounds good keep me informed

This is what i'm afraid of :P, let me know about the midlands meet as I'm interested :D and wouldn't mind a ride in a charged 200 :D

[kris_t]

im sure if we get a few of us together we could get a gr8 deal on super charger conversions in bulk

What one would you be thinking about though?

i spoke with tte a few months ago about a deal for there last 4 tte compressor kits and all they were willing to do was knock off a few euros off the 6.385,94 Euro price

[Rob's Lexx]

just started a thread on a midlands meet.

regarding the 'bulk buy on a supercharger', you wont get that deal on a TTE setup mate!! their as rare as hen's teeth. maybe on a rotrex s/c but they are VERY pricey IIRC.

The odd TTE s/c comes up for sale now and then, but they generally sell within a couple of days!!

[kris_t]

worth a try lol

[sparkystav]

seriously who told you about engines blowing up and losing power with the S/C's?

what a load of rubbish, the standard TTE is spot on.

Very little chance of failure, very little.

It was designed but TOYOTA tuning europe to be very reliable.

[kris_t]

ok what sort of price would a tte charger conversion cost?

[Rabster]

Well the average price on a SC is about 2k second hand im sure you cant get the TTE one new now but i may be wrong if you get hold of one you will be joining the elite team lol as they are becoming very rare i think there are a few up for grabs on here if you quick anf have the cash to hand etc

[kris_t]

ok and what about total cost including instalation and other parts?

[sparkystav]

Nothing,

We fitted one to Tom-18's car in a field at JAE.

All the parts you need come with the kit.
