RC350 STILLEN Supercharger Interested Thread/Poll
Hey Everyone!
As many of you know, STILLEN has been a major manufacturer of performance parts in the Nissan/Infiniti market for over 20 years. We have expanded into other markets in the past with good success and are now looking to move head first in the Lexus scene. Some of our notable achievements have been attaining CARB Certification on almost all of our Performance Intake Systems, and being the only Supercharger Manufacturer offering an aftermarket warranty on Nissan/Infiniti Supercharger Kits.
Building off our success with Supercharger Kits Engineered for Nissan/Infiniti applications, we are looking into building Supercharger Kits for the Lexus RC350, 3rd Gen IS350, and 4th Gen GS350. We do not have any details to release at this time, but the initial goals for the kits would be to maintain Lexus Reliability while gaining 100+ whp. Price point would likely be in the $6000-$7000 range.
We would like to get the community feedback and gauge interest on such kits. If there is enough demand, we would like to move forward with this project.
Thanks for your time!
To answer a few questions I know will come up:
Q: Will the kits be available for the 2nd Gen IS350 and 3rd Gen GS350?
A: We will not be developing kits specifically for these models. If the kit happens to work that would be a pleasant surprise, but we will not be doing the development work on either of those models.
Q: Will the kit offer a warranty?
A: Not initially.
Q: Will the kit be CARB Legal?
A: Because of the substantial investment we do not have initial plans for getting the kit through CARB, but it may be something we will look into as our other kits are CARB Legal.

Since the motor (2GR-FSE) is the same across the board for these platforms, I foresee cross-platform compatibility with the MAJOR components on ALL 2GR-FSE-equipped models. Because of course the various models do have subtle differences in body design and electrical/mechanical over the years, I'm sure there will be minor mods needed with I/C piping, piping routing, and such to compensate.
But before the "easy" part is taken care of with the hardware components, what specifically might Stillen do differently in the tuning-department that others haven't to make the potential kit reach the magically 100whp gain? Is it known that these vehicles (specifically the ECMs) are notoriously difficult (some say impossible) to tune?
With all this said, I am looking forward to seeing something come of this! Poll comment has been provided.

I think the more profitable route would be to prove that you guys have cracked the ECM and can tune the platform. Once you do that, there will be hundreds of us waiting to send you thousands. Cracking the ECM and offering a tuning solution would make your company a lexus deity.
