oldskooliron Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 I just got a 2002 IS300 and was looking for advice on some small things I could do to get a little more power. Im not looking to sink a whole lot of money because of the high miles and plus im in college and dont have a whole lot of it to spend. So what do you guys think?

smooth1 Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 I can't help it, I love this place! well, first thing you need to do is set some goals. Like determine how much more hp your looking for. 25? 50? 100? 200? 400??? 600??????? then set up your perameters. Like staying naturally asparated, or going turbo, or supercharger, or motor swapping altogether. Once you have decided that, then it's easy. And by the way: Reliable and Cheap is not Fast Cheap and Fast is not Reliable Fast and Reliable is not Cheap

smooth1 Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 I was thinking about dropping all the mod listings as they are about to get even longer. In fact way to long. Ok. I'll do it.
dcfish Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Well? Quite fitting I like it, You should keep it, Highly recognizable, It's you for sure B) And it answers alot of initial questions ;)
flop170 Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 but mainly..... it's just plain out the truth!!!!
dcfish Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 but mainly..... it's just plain out the truth!!!! So true
oldskooliron Posted February 10, 2008 Author Posted February 10, 2008 Ok, so lets just say I want to get about 50 more hp....
smooth1 Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 50 hp is gonna cost ya somewhere between $4 or $5 grand. That's : 700 for full exhaust 600 for the header 250 for the intake 175 for an exhaust cam gear 1500 for head work 600 for a 272 cam 500 for an AEM 350 for NA tuning. You may come out with a few more ponies in the end as some of the mods work together to increase thier efficiency. Like the exhaust is good for about 10-15 hp, but after you do the head work and intake and header, the exhaust is probably good for more than that.
oldskooliron Posted February 11, 2008 Author Posted February 11, 2008 Alright thanks for the help. Ill see what I can come up with.
smooth1 Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 but mainly..... it's just plain out the truth!!!! Dude, this post was at 4:43 am? Dayum!! Get to bed brother!!!
