We are mighty proud that our client chose us to deliver his dream of owning the worlds most powerful supercharged Lexus is200 using the original 1G-FE engine. There are more powerful cars around using a different engine or using a turbocharger, but this car really is something very special.

Although we have more experience with Lexus cars than any other company in the UK, when commissioned we knew that we were charting completely new and unexplored territory and so this project was going to be a challenge.

The engine and engine control functions had already been previously uprated as can be seen on the previous blog, so all we had to do was to adapt the Rotrex - Antonov style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ff9933"supercharger to the Lexus iS200 and deal with any issues as they arise.

The Rotrex supercharger is a very efficient and compact centrifugal style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ff9933"supercharger. The Antonov conversion introduces a 2 speed internal transmission to increase the boost pressure at low engine speeds.

Although Rotrex offer larger superchargers, Antonov had developed their technology only on Rotrex superchargers rated up to 400hp.

Our design brief was to get as close to 400hp with compromising the “Lexusness” of the car, which means that could not produce a car with too much intake or exhaust noise, and we had to retain the smoothness for which Lexus is renowned.

Here are some pictures of the Rotrex - Antonov style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ff9933"supercharger installation:
