I dont’ think a 16g is nearly big enough for a rx. If you are gonna do it and put all the time into it you might as well do it right, the Rand D for a manifold, piping, would not be worth it fo a 16g. Sure you could do it, but its gonna cost $$$$, injectors, pump, wastegate, bov, fuel management, piping blah blah ---

I think with a 16G you’d be able to run stock fuel… I think it would lose effeciency on a larger motor like that in high boost… but ~5lbs you’d be fine right? ---

Not true… some things are unpossible. In which case you wouldn’t be able to do them. I think turbo’ing this thing is a good idea though. ---

> [@Daddie](#): > > Camry 3.0 V6 =P It’s a Lexus ES300 V6 engine which is slightly more powerful than Camry’s. 3.0L DOHC VVTi 1MZFE U c, the reason I wanna boost my RX300, is that my EVO’s getting faster and faster which makes me feel my RX is getting slower and slower. Hmm…turbo will be cheaper than a TRD supercharger for the RX300. Still deciding or maybe just sell it… ---

> [@Rx3](#): > > MY question is: WHY? > > You have the fast car. The RX300 is a daily/winter car, correct? Why turn it into something unreliable? Im with stupid ^ Why make your DD less reliable by boosting it. A dd and winter car is supposed to be reliable and medium in the power range or else there would be no need for a summer car. Plus I dont think you really want a super fast vehicle for winter, because well it could end up in a ditch, there is this thing called “snow” and we get alot of it, but if you like the XXX moto “i like anything fast enough i can do something stupid in” i guess go for it. Just outta curiousity how much would you sell it for and what year is it ---

I just bought BRAND new tires for it which I did not install. Car is a 2000 Lexus. I am looking at about $20K. If someone buys it, they really should paint it. Some jealous fucks at UB keyed both sides of the car. The lower part of the car is going to be freshly painted. I might have the whole car painted in a couple weeks anyway.
