Supercharged Is250

[IronFist]

Check this out guys. I stumpled across this while surfing the net - Could be the first kit of it's kind in the world??

RG Motorsport Supercharged IS250

[Bluey]

Still slower than the IS350.

I wish Lexus would just bring that in.

[Timolol]

How much does this cost in AUD$? Might be a good time to import with our strong dollars?

[Atlantis]

$11,500 AUD installed or $8,200 DIY... hardly worth it. I agree with Bluey... IS350 would be far superior.

Our dollar might be strong against the weak USD, but it hasn't moved much compared to other markets.

If i had a lazy 8200 dollars i would seriously consider this. IS350 228kw (approx) supercharged IS250 280kw.

allthough 350 more refined. i dont have 90k to buy one. more likely to pay 10k for my low km 250 and have a power house under the bonnet. ??

its still alot of money 10k. but so is 90k and i love my 250. so.... hmmm

[k2sty1]

nice, but 10K

what do you guys recon bout this?

k2sty1 im not a fan of turbo, i dont think it would suit a lexus sleek style either.

im driving a supercharged v6 commodore atm and love the surge in power and no stupid ricer psh pshh just raw power. makes a big difference to stock engine.

to have that on the 250 with 280kw (claimed) that would be awesome.

[k2sty1]

yeh, i dont think turbo's suit the Lexus IS

but a 280kw, IS250 would be just insaaaane

but the 0-100 time seems weird

10 seconds for 0-100?

lexus claim 8.1

isn't the IS250 faster than that??

i think it may have to do something with the high ambient temp over there!

for sure a 350 will still own this setup any day of the week but for those of us who have moddded our car a lot it's an alternative to retain all our mods.

might not be a 350, but is as close as we're gonna' get! It's also only 280kw with there headers otherwise it's only about 240KW! not that thats not good, but just so everyones aware.

i enquired but from what i was told they are still working on producing the kit for sale as well as DIY manual!

If i wasnt saving for a house at the moment id still consider it. . . like you said in the 350 thread, the gap between 250 and 350 is a bit much although refined still large gap. but for 10k. power to dolllar ratio sounds impressive.

i guess for those in our shoes we could always wait for a pre-thrashed 350! lol..... 4 yr warranty with lexus so if u pick up one with reamining factory warranty you should be ok. i know lexus are really good with warranty work so i'm very confident buying a pre-thrashed one!

If i said i knew a guy who is interested in building and installing kits for a minute fraction of the above cost how many would be interested. He wanted my car as a prptotype but im not financially ready atm. What he is planning though sounds awesome. If there is interest ill get a write up of what he is willing to do post.

[4plzu]

Very very interested depending on price and details of what is going to be done? Final output figures, reversible, etc....
