Hey guys....

Great to see some pics of my car... though strange to see it ripped apart.... haha..

THANKS ALOT GORD.......... really.....

I like the charger in black... 1st time ive seen it actually.... again... ive total confidence in Charlesworth... results speak for themselves right.. actions speak louder than words and all that... and theres plenty on here with 110% success stories.... :winky:

And of course the quality parts i got from Dave at Prolex combined with Charlesworth will hopefully make this project a success also.

Am dying to see the performance... and having never been in a supercharged lexus of any kind... ive no idea what to expect..

Looks like Steve's cracking on with it mate, I see you've gone for the TTE coilovers, they give nice ride mate got them on mine :D

Going to be a big change when you pick it up with the handling and more power, you'll have a sore face when you get home after all the smiling you'll be doing :D

Just a quick update...

Been a few issues with the fitting of the s/c so a custom plate is being made for the charger, so wont be finished this week as will take a while for the plate to be made up.. size, shape, etc....

Probably looking at a couple of weeks now for completion... as def dont want to rush it especially with having a VERY long drive home.. doubt anyone will be all that keen in towing my car from France.... :whistling:

Great news mole.. best of luck with the fitting party... though try keep them away from the beer until your car is sounding sweet!! ;)

I think you´ll see its hard to stop once you start modding.. i wanted minimum when i started... boy how thats changed.

Posted
update..............

all bits we were missing on way.............will be running at .45 bar for sure

Great news Dave..... so how we looking on the time frame??

Posted

Just some more info...

Been speaking to Dave from Prolex-UK and decided im going to get his NEW Big Valve Head fitted on my

IS200 which should be done around Easter next year. :winky:

Cant get enough of this modding....

So hopefully, with the s/c almost complete we'll get started organising this...

Posted

What does that mean mate? is it raising the capacity? i.e above a 2l?

Edit, just re-read it, big valves, not big pistons lol. what benifits does this give?

Stav

Posted

Will also suit N/A cars...looks like exhaust valve can be 1 mm larger (which is a lot)

Heads will also be ported & polished

Also will have the 2.2 stroker kit ready about the same time which should be a beast (comes with uprated rods & pistons)

For 2010 will be a new intake manifold with throttle bodies
