Supercharger for Lexus LS460
Saw New Release Information from HKS dated 7/25/2011 on the internet PDF.
GT Supercharger System: GTS8550 Complete Kit for LEXUS LS460. Looks very interesting.
According to their performance chart it should produce 70-80HP.
ECU must be factory ECU, Fuel consumption about the same as stock.
Model USF40 Code No. 12001-AT005. They did not have a price on it, but similar BMW Supercharger was $4500.
Has anyone else looked into this?

I think I read somewhere that they run close to 7k. Not sure. For the added power you can always consider a wet nitous system. The systems now a days are far safer and hace piggy back systems that are linked to throttle position and many other good things to make sure the engine is not damaged. just an idea

will be even harder to obtain this supercharger kit because HKS just shut down USA operations.

Why supercharge? The top speed (at least in the US) is still limited to 130. You'll just get there quicker I guess. If I can only find something to take the govern off.

HKS is supposed to have dealers in several states, some being certified installers.
Are the dealer outlets being shut down?
I would also like to know how to remove the 130 limit.

Turns out the HKS Japan website actually lists the price for the LS460 supercharger:
http://www.hks-power.co.jp/products/...er/sc_kit.html
Car: LS460 LS460
Chassis: USF40
Engine: 1UR-FSE
Model Year: 06/09-09/08
Code Number: 12001-AT005
Price: ¥1,554,000 (¥1,480,000)
That price, converted over to USD, is approximately $19,856.85.
Further proving my suspicion, HKS turbos and superchargers are never to be considered 'cheap' by any means.
But it is nice looking:
and sounds nice too:
