The reason is simple the IS200 has a "sealed" engine bay therefore is not designed for air to pass all the way through it and some turbo cars do run a fair bit hotter than N/A cars and require a good flow of air through the 'bay.

hehe, yea i have seen that one but that one is downunder mate, there are 3 V8 IS200 in the UK that i know of and my one is 1 of them, theres one on driftworks site that being used for drifting, and theres 1 up by birmingham but them 2 IS,s have the VVTI V8 and they are not turbo,ed where as my one is , so there for my one is the only 1UZ Turbo IS in the UK
any way, UPDATE!!
i dont know if i posted this befor about my kickdown cable, ill tell you any way, when i 1st fitted the V8 it was going to be 5 speed but to save some time and £££ i went with the auto for now, but in doing so i have had to use the car with out the kick/down cable (but no more) as i got one from a guy in the US, and got it last week, as my car is of the road waiting for a new water pump (just been told it will be here friday
) it was a good time to fit the kickdown cable so i have been under the car most of the day, trying to fit it "what a pig of a job that is when the gearbox is still in the car" well its all done, roll on the weekend and she should be back on the road

20-08-2017, 01:31 PM #278Thats what James at Toyota GT wanted to do to mine, I think the gauges are unique to the IS, wouldn't want to change them.
