Hey I just wanted to if any SC430 owners had a supercharger and what kind. I'm thinking about going that route but the only S/C I found was for Luxury Motor Works. Is there any other company that make them for our engines?

I also wanted to know what issues are you having if any and how is the ride quality? I had a S/c GS300 and the car drove okay, but the steering was kind of heavy. I guesss for that matter the car was heavier. I would also like to know what mods you have in addition to the S/C.

I'm planning on installing a TC and a transmission cooler. That should help the longevity of the transmission.

SRT made mine as a one-off. The boost with the stock pulley was low and horsepower increase was nominal. I had better luck running nitrous for two years and didnt have to worry about the inspection headaches. The LMS has a single fuel injector while the SRT unit requires 8 larger replacement injectors controlled by a seperate fuel computer. The pistons and rods on the 3uz are weaker than the 400 and some LMS setups have blown the landings on the pistons. If I had to do over again I would stick with the nitrous setup. Less headache and I still had the relability of the lexus. Now that blew up my engine, I'm building it up right and following thru with the parts that I have.
Good luck,
Weny

Thanks for the info. When you had the nitro were you running the dry or wet application? Also how did the car feel when you had the SC? Where did you get the nitro setup or was it a custom setup?

I ran the Zex wet unit. It was a simple install. I think I have photos somewhere on the forum. The sc felt great and sounded great. Nothing like hearing the supercharger whine....
