Mods to an IS300
 

Well my girlfriend was lookin for a new car, so I convinced her into an is300 because its a nice reliable car and i'll probably be driving it a good amoutn so I didnt want something to crappy or slow. It is a decent car but it needs to be quicker. Its also an auto, what mods can i do to it to make it faster besides a turbo kit. I gotta keep this bitch reliable. I was thinking an intake and headers, but i dont know anything past that, or if it'll throw a code or anything.

Re: Mods to an IS300
 

just do the basic ---- man.

Re: Mods to an IS300
 

Yeah, thats probably all im gonna do. cold air intake, headers, downpipe, exhaust. Just make it a bit quicker.

Re: Mods to an IS300
 

SRT shift kit
Intake / Header / Exhaust. Best mods my buddy did to his. Shift hard

Re: Mods to an IS300
 

Dont touch a cold air intake. Your will not be able to tell a difference in power you might be making from a cai to a ram air intake and it could save your motor from hydrolocking. Believe me, my friend hydrolocked a single cam zc with his beloved cold air intake. now he runs a ram air and cant feel a difference at all.

Re: Mods to an IS300
 

Boost that ---- YAY AREA STYLE!!!!

Re: Mods to an IS300
 

It never rains bad enough here to hydrolock a car. Unless youre trying to find puddles you wont come across them.

Re: Mods to an IS300
 

stock air box ftw! I rock a HKS filter in a stock airbox :y

I'm thinking about buying an IS300 myself, but I want a 5spd wagon. 8) So it might be time to sell the del sol, EK, and the rest of my honda stuff.

Re: Mods to an IS300
 

I drive my IS300 like an old lady. Burns too much gas. :'(

Re: Mods to an IS300
 

throw a 2jz up in that biatch if staying auto throw a stall to build some boost off the line if not throw in that 6 speed ,big ass t67 or up and your ballin!!!!!

but since your stayin reliable,exhaust..intake,headers......ecu flash???some stickers 5 hp a peice :8 :8 :y :6

Re: Mods to an IS300
 

I got one....they're ok....nothing too fast. I just cruse in mine. Keep it smooth and clean. I have an L-tuned kit, lowered on bilsteins/prokit, K&N drop in filter, and an apexi ws exhast. Rides like stock. Look on the IS forums. If you want speed.....turbo or sc is the way to go. I kept mine pretty stock and clean......it isn't for speed. GL

Re: Mods to an IS300
 

I know is not for speed but I want another 20-30hp. A bit more power, reliability is very important since its my girls DD. Probably just do intake headers downpipe and exhaust. This car has a really short first gear so it accelerates pretty nicely.

Re: Mods to an IS300
 

this guy mad his own headers that were making more hp then any header out there. He's producing and selling them now. Look up Mazzuri headers. Intake wise...seems like SRT's intake with the shield and ecu piggyback is the ticket. Easy hp for you there.....but both those together....depending if you're installing or not, will be about 1000-1500. Its not cheap to play with lexus. Its not like the parts are more quality....they just sell ---- for more. But yeah...I love my IS300. Its perfect, a bit of luxury, style, and quality. Heres the site I'm at...just so you can get more info.

Re: Mods to an IS300
 

they come with 2jz's factory.

Re: Mods to an IS300
 

hahahahah....Its TRUE!!

But the usdm SUPRA 2jz-tt don't fit. But he wouldn't know that. You can make it fit...but its not worth the trouble. But the Arista 2jz-tt will bolt right in. You'll just need to run a stand alone and you're good. But then...everything is easier said then done.

Re: Mods to an IS300
 

put a supercharger on the bitch mang!

Re: Mods to an IS300
 

I know meant the supra jump off the tt sorry didnt mean to get your pantties in a bunch :y

Re: Mods to an IS300
 

an N/A 2j is worthless.

Re: Mods to an IS300
 

then again so is an is300 :-X

Re: Mods to an IS300
 

Its not my car dickholes. I'd never buy an IS300 and try and make it sooper fast, besides that fact it looks like and is a girl car. V8's over anything anyday. I just want to make it a little quicker for passing power on the freeway, and incase we see another IS300 to smoke.

Re: Mods to an IS300
 

Buk-mod.

Sprinkle generously with bitching and terroristic threats.

Re: Mods to an IS300
 

Putting a CAI on it will cause it to lean out because of the stock MAF specs in the ecu, exhaust with anything besides the stock cat will cause it to throw code.

You can pull the battery and "reset" the ecu with the MAF settings the car had experienced, as well as drive it hard for a period of time then pull the batter/fuse right after. The car "remembers" how it was revved/shifted at and will adjust timing accordingly, also compensating fuel.

Eventually it "remembers" it's outside stock settings and will give a lean condition again.

Happened on my friend's IS300 before he went with turblow.

Re: Mods to an IS300
 

leave it alone

Re: Mods to an IS300
 

I've always loved the IS300. They're not the fastest cars in the world, but they're pimp IMO. No need to be the fastest car on the road when you're cruising in your heated leather seats with the moon roof open listening to (insert your favorite music). :6 The ricer in me wants a yellow one.

You own a camaro or something? lol

Re: Mods to an IS300
 

I have heard guys running whay you suggested plus maybee a cam gear too that was tuned with the e-manage ultimate. Supposedly the ecu is very hard to thwart, but I can't imagine 40-50 or so hp could not be had with just bolt ons or a low pressure turbo. Is it that sensitive? gas milage from my experience: 20 city, 25-27 hwy. The build quality is very good and is suprisingly easy to work on/maintain.

edit: Try: isfanatics.com too.

Re: Mods to an IS300
 

This thread makes my brain hurt a lot. Between Scott needing to ask the forum about the typical IHE boltons to the suggestion that a CAI will ---- with the MAF, my brain is just about ready to explode.

Re: Mods to an IS300
 

Gunmetal all the way. Pimptastic. I would leave mine stock too. Just ride nice and slow.

Re: Mods to an IS300
 

I got a neon, and the only person who couldn't waite is your spelling teacher, who was waite'ing for you to turn in your test, so she could laugh at your illegal ass.

I think it's time to post some pics of Dr. Bitch's chunty titties.

Re: Mods to an IS300
 

IS300's are pretty sick looking cars, expecially for the price and its a great platform to start from.

Auto or not. The tranny's are solid upwards of 450 on stock with a shift kit. over 1000hp with the SRT built tranny (retails 3k can be easly had for 2)

My buddy is building his right now, 01 auto

Re: Mods to an IS300
 

You must have hung out in Minnesota in the past. They actually think there's an X in especially. /thread spelling nazi

Re: Mods to an IS300
 

I honestly thought the initial topic was really terrible. One of the worst threads from an almost OG member, but then you guys just pull it in another completely craptastic direction. I applaud the effort.

Re: Mods to an IS300
 

The always classic BIGNIG. You make me want to take it old school and punch Quadnie.

Re: Mods to an IS300
 

Lol. I know how to spell it. But I always ---- it up when I write something up quick.

Re: Mods to an IS300
 

this is the worst thread i have ever seen on HMT, its true i havent been here that long but holy ----
