Oh also as a disclaimer here, i am in no way involved with/work for/ or even personally know the guys over at swift

all the knowledge i have regarding their company is from this site and my.is back when i was about to get an IS300. Like i said Swift is a VERY reputable company in the IS world and i am pumped at the fact that they are hitting the Honda market with this car

my guess is maybe, im not sure how much you'd be able to lower compression with a new head gasket...

as you know with lower compression it will allow you to get more boost into the motor and allow more power

so depending on how much the head gasket can lower compression and allow you to up the boost would make the difference, im sure Mo can chime in more on this

Well from being at the meets and seeing what they've built and viewing their shop. Mo and his gang know what they're doing and have kicked ass in the world of toyota motors. About time they done some honduhz

The auto on the IS is acutally strong than the 5speed lol
you need a supra 6speed swap to handle the power of the 2.75kit
but with the auto all you need is a new sprag gear i think it is.....
Swift please correct me if im wrong on this...

that was in the testing phase, i think a graph posted on here showed like 302whp or something like \\edit i found the graph i was refering too, that graph was a 7-7.5psi, the kit is set for 9-9.5psi so yea 325 might be more accurate

The piping is actually higher than the lowest point of the car, if you go over something that the piping hits you will also damage your frame.

There is no way of any water getting into the area of the BOV, it sits inside the front bumper and is covered in all sides, we have done such locations in the IS300's for years now with not even one failure. Remember there is nothing going into the BOV everything comes out from it.
