Wow, didn't realize they had soooo little power. My car is more than double. :lol:

 

Sorry, there is no way to make a noticeable increase in power cheaply.

 

Define "cheap". What's your budget?

You might consider something cheap, whereas I'd have to decide if I'm going to eat for a month afterwards.

 

Well id probably spend a few hundred on a bit of power. There must be some way to boost them up to 170 or around that?

 

You really think 15 HP will make a difference? A few hundred $$$ just for 15 HP is definitely not cheap. Unfortunately, it's just how the IS200 was made. Your only real options are boost or an engine swap (the engine swap would probably make more sense, and then you could boost that)

 

By boost do you mean turbo or supercharge it?

 

Yeah, turbocharge! You can make up to 400HP without much trouble on this engine and the automatic tranny.

 

i have question bro how many hp can i make on my is200 without engine swap cuz in belgium not allowed

 

You could also look for a used Supercharger Kit!

There is used an Eaton M62 supercharger, some 2" piping, intercooler, bypass system,
ECU extension.

Original street legal with 205 bhp, and possible up to 260bhp, mine had 235bhp
and looked like this:

To go from 205 to 235 bhp i added a larger pulley, larger intercooler, 260cc injectors, BOV.

Made a lot more fun than the stock 155 bhp!

 

as above the cheapest way is to purchase a TTE supercharger kit. They are rare and hard to come by. They are a direct bolt on and only require a fuel cut defender due to the extra fuel required to match the amount of forced air. However a kit like that will cost you at least 3000AUD + install so not exactly cheap. I'd probably suggest if you have a manual to get a exedy clutch with JUN fly wheel,short shifter , higher ratio final drive and lighten as much as possible because they are a porky bastard. I've had my IS200 for 9 years and the most fun is finding the full potential of the handling. That said i'm doing a 3SGE swap which will give me an instant 118kw at the wheel figure compared to 80ish from a slush box IS200.

 

Beams 3S-GE with dual VVT-i is the way to go. Loves to rev.

 

Lose some weight on the car and yourself.

 

Are you sure to have the Sport LSD Diff?

Look at the firewall code, the swap from open to LSD Diff made nearly the same fun as mounting the supercharger kit!!

K&N Filter is Part number 33-2845, maybe it will help you revving faster.

I would also recommend the JUN Flywheel and some Sport clutchkit like i had: Helix organic, feels very direct and a lot quicker than original setup!
