Omg !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is a Tom's supercharger on ebay right now for the 1uz and 3uz. somebody buy it. It's a measly 2,400. And its in Russia. "Supercharger Toms For Lexus LS430 GS430 GS400 1UZ 3UZ".

Well, now's your time to shine, badblackgs. Go for it.
|
Not a fan of the magnetic clutch on the pulley. I feel it takes away from coolness of the supercharger. at the bottom of the ad, it states the ecu comes with it. I'd like to see someone else pull the trigger on it. Im on track to install my supercharger this weekend. i finally worked out all the small details so install will be a breeze. (hope that statement doesn't come back to bite me)

A supercharged LS430 would be great, a real sleeper
|
This COULDNT have popped up at a worse time...... I would kill to have this on my LS.

The TOM's unit sucked and made very little power,especially for the price of it, it had rareness and coolness points though

Uhh... that dyno chart shows 260kw aka 349bhp starting from 4k to redline, and makes significantly more power all along the curve. That's not a monstrous amount, but it's not 'very little'. Not to mention that torque curve; RIP tires.
Believe me, if I had that kind of dough, I would be allllll over that. Great setup. |

HA, after doing some research on it, it appears the TOM's makes about 65-75 HP, yeah def worth $2500 my proof https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc4...ercharger.html https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc4...-progress.html https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc4...ercharger.html MANY, MANY people have made that power with the RMM and supporting mods https://www.clublexus.com/forums/per...s-the-kit.html |
Plus the plenum is not included and super hard to find

i thought the Tom's kit you just removed the upper intake plenum and mounted it directly to the lower intake plenum, is that not the case?
i guess there is a cool factor and rareness to having it under the hood... for dollar/hp you better off running nitrous... |

you are correct, it just sits on top... no hood modification required...

Plus this kit is FAR from complete. Its the roots charger, belt, ecu, and IC.
This was funky design with the IC water\air cooling that required you to tap into the cooling system of the car and it had a clutched pulley so you could choose when to engage it. All in all a nice kit when bought new, but with no brackets, intake elbow, cooling hoses and fittings it would take a skilled mechanic to sort it all out and get it working. And then for what 75HP>? |

I'm sure trying to install a smaller pulley would be a monumental undertaking. unless you just did away with the clutch and pressed on a smaller pulley. Regardless of what everyone's opinions are on this topic. I think we can all agree that "you have to pay to play".
