Now I know I should have bought the IS350 but for some reason my dads company wouldnt insure it. *BLEEP*s. haha So does anyone have any ideas on how to get more power out of the engine..now I know a turbo would work but thats a last resort..any other ideas??

This will increase your horsepower and make it sound nicer, but your performance still wont increase that much. Dyno it? Do some research and try to find a chip for it.

(brands and items specifically??) thanks all! The only way besides an engine transplant, is to turbocharge or supercharge it (Blitz have a S/C). Correct me if I'm wrong, but won't you have similar problems in insuring it with a T/C or S/C as you had with insuring a 350? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonystewart Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Spray it with NOS. A number of manufacturers have lits available. A couple of them driving around Boca Raton FL right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cory Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 I don't know what's available for the IS250, but here's a list of basic performance upgrades - Intake Headers Exhaust Underdrive Pulleys Advanced Timing ECU/Chip Injectors/Plugs Weight Reduction (including drivetrain components) Keep in mind, a lot of these options can void your warranty, and any time you mess with your A/F mixture you should retune your car.

lexusaddict Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share Posted July 19, 2007 Actually my driving is just fine, I have no problem driving my dads 2006 Carrera Turbo S nor his 07 S65 AMG. So perhaps we can all just come to the reality that the is250 has no power and that needs to be changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rx330driver Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 lol rheerrrr. anywhoo, tsounds like it wasnt a financial issue that you went with the 250. Why dont you just trade it in...it would make life a lot easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryukensfj Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 The only way to really add power is with FI. But if you want just sound and a little of performane go with sri and exhaust. They complement each other very well. I have a Injen sri on a is350 and that thing sounds like a beast! It sounds like a muscle car now.
