Is My Supercharged Lexus IS 350 Faster Than An ISF?

[@RedspencerIS350]

Great comparison vid. Having a direct comparison between the two cars with both a drag and roll race brings to light what each car can do. Once the ISF has a FBO setup (to include headers), it should be a closer race.

@@stephenrand5033 I love the comfort of the GS more as a daily. However, the IS 350 is definitely faster. With same motor and power, the IS 350 in 2014-2020 shape is faster than every generation of GS 350 and noticeably so. The older IS 350, however, the 2006 to 2013 models, are only quicker than both generations of GS 350 through the quarter mile and to 60. After about 80mph it starts falling flat and the GS350 of any generation will pass it on the highway. So overall, the 2014-2020 IS 350 as a daily is the fastest of them all. I have lined up with the 2006 IS 350 (actually owned one) on the highway in the 2014 and I am much quicker. From light to light he would walk me though.

Also in the 1/4 in my 08 12.55 @ 113.31 and my best in my 11 so far is 12.72 @ 107.56. Manual/sport/tcs off/vsc off was my best method.

It looked like the ISF dude left it in auto? The shifts are way slower that way. Not that it would've changed the results, but still.

[@marcosmarti87]

Marty did his in auto and it was actually faster in this video. 8:59

[@lp9280]

Actually it is opposite, Auto shift are mostly better for acceleration. At least that is the case on Lexus and I am speaking from experience IS250>IS250AWD>IS250 F-Sport>IS-F>RC200t>RC-F. As much as you would like to computers are better at knowing when to shift than humans, the only downside is that if you expect kickdown, computer sometimes may misunderstand your intentions and that could delay things, but for simple 1/4 run auto gearbox on Lexus left to shift by itself will be faster than manual shifts every time.

[@ing8404]

@@lp9280 That's odd because auto takes longer to change gears?

[@lp9280]

@@ing8404 No it doesn't. Maybe on some cars, but certainly not on Lexus. First thing you need to understand - you can't shift manually in Lexus (except of LF-A), the paddles are for gear ranges. If you just have your foot planted to the floor they will change gears perfectly every single time. In practice you can downshift with paddles by limiting to say 4th or 3rd gear, so car is forced to downshift if it was in say 6th. But you can't upshift on demand, when you press paddle it does not upshift, you just tells gearbox that now it can as well use say 5th gear, but car will continue pulling in 4th and only actually upshift itself when it wants to. However, if you increase the range too late, after the perfect time for shifting, then you may bounce off the rev limiter as he did several times. This is because there is time delay for range change i.e. gearbox was limited to 4th gear, there was time to shift which takes ~100ms, so gearbox predicts that you will need to be in 5th in 100ms and would start gear change 100ms early for perfect shift, however up until that point you had range limited to 4 gears and only clicked the paddle to increase the range 20ms late + it took another 120ms for gearbox to increase the range, by that time car reached the rev limiter and bounced off and only 140ms later it realises that it is now allowed to shift and does it in another say 200ms. So instead of letting car do the change in 100ms, by trying to do it manually you would waste 340ms. And this is not only gearbox, it is as well ECM that manages all aspects of acceleration and when you over-rev the car it has to adjust to be able to upshift. When leaving car in auto, it not only shifts gears, but it as well controls VSC/TC/Throttle for rev matching, injection, valve timing and etc. to get absolutely the best gear shift possible. In short by trying to change gears manually on Lexus you are just interfering with system and preventing it from working optimally. A960E, A760E and AA80E are simple torque converter automatics, they are not DCTs and there is no point upshifting on there gearboxes. Downshifting for overtaking sometimes makes sense, but as soon as your foot is down it is best to push it back into D. There are manual conversions to A760E (so the gearbox in IS350) and it then basically works like you would expect paddle shifters to work, it actually shifts slower (say 200ms instead of 100ms), but that is sometimes acceptable, usually in turbocharged applications where top HP/Torque isn't at the top of rev range and shifting at say 4800RPM is preferable. But on NA or blower it is best to leave it to gearbox to do it automatically.

Do you plan on building the motor a bit? Like cams pistons and all that?

[@MartyMotoring]

Probably not, handles this power just fine

[@onedrop6011]

Awesome bro Is it cheaper to turbo a is350?

[@MartyMotoring]

Well there aren't any turbo kits out there, but there are supercharger kits. Both can get pricey, but usually a supercharged IS350 will be cheaper than an ISF. Just alot more work

[@onedrop6011]

@@MartyMotoring yo thanks my man I'm new to the Lexus brand for New Zealand and there's no many ISF cars on the road her I might as well get a ISF 😁

[@subsonicninja777]

My 2007 GS350 AWD runs 13.1 in the quartermile completely stock. I thought the IS350 would be faster since it's a smaller lighter car.

[@MartyMotoring]

I got a 12.4 in my supercharged IS350 and 13.6 in my stock IS350 years ago. But I was also like 280lbs lol

[@thisnameislessembarassing]

Marty, not sure you’d know much about this but did Rafi or anyone else tell you about difference between 3IS or 2IS when it comes to supercharging? Gearing is shorter on the 2IS but I’ve always heard the 3IS has a more robust trans…

[@MartyMotoring]

Yes that sounds about right

[@alexispadilla2606]

I paid 7k for a 120k mile is350 if i put another 8k i can get 500hp? Hmm

[@lexusrcf2441]

Wow nice results Marty. Me and you should race I have the fob orange rcf. We were just down in Lancaster today at a cat show lol. Lmk. Bless up

[@MartyMotoring]

That would be fun! I’m down

@@MartyMotoring ok cool congrats and yeah mos def. We’ll be there as well 💯

[@geepswitzer]

That was dope.

[@will2tao]

Wow thats pretty fast

[@silasbriggs8616]

I think I would take the supercharged 350 for sure as it looks better and sounds better and is better all the way around

[@SmokieTRW]

So is rev limiting bad?

[@jepurjepurovic6378]

Sounds like gearbox on ISF is much better, imagine it is on 350 🤔

[@timtresch4848]

very cool is350, but I'd still much rather have the ISF, perfect daily, great v8 power still stock enough where its going to have that lexus reliability, and like mentioned a lot cheaper then an IS350 + S/C. And I'll bet the n/a V8 does gets slightly better MPG.

[@MartyMotoring]

Thanks! I sold the SC IS350 and got an ISF actually now and while it’s “slower”, the V8 and trans are great. Gets around the same MPG. It’s a great daily! I got a great deal on mine so it did end up being a little cheaper than the IS350 in my case.
