So how many of you guys are actually running some form of Forced Induction ?

 

Do you mean on a third gen GS?

 

I do, thats why I posted in the third gen forum

 

Umm... not yet??? stil deciding...

 

Alright I've given you guys half a year to come up with something good.
Now whos running some form of FI on a a third gen ?

 

I'm sure if someone has, we'd have heard about it. Unless they want to keep it a secret...

 

I dont visit the 3rd gen forum much. I own a 1st gen and a 2nd gen. Debating on trading up the 2nd gen to 3rd. Wont get rid of the 1st gen.

 

Please Give Me The Update Once You More Information On The Kit...


Thank You!!!

 

EG8, how much horsepower are you looking to achieve?

Doubt anyone has done it yet, but TOM'S has a supercharger kit or "hyper compressor" for the 350 and 430 engines of the 3GS.

I don't how you would get your hands on it.. or if it's even possible. I just know that they have it.

Good luck dude.

I dont even have a third gen yet. If I were to get one I would have to have FI. Im a boost junkie. Im just wondering to what extent people will take it. Ideally I would have around 550-600 hp at the crank. Its not likely that the stock motor and trans would take that much. That compressor is sick though. I want to see someone else forge the path. Ive done that enough times now. I want to know what its going to take to get past the OBD8000 LOL

 

I'Ve talked to Steve on the Toms compressors, the problem is the ECU. When you buy the kit it comes with intercooler,piping compressor and ECU, Right now they only have them for the Japan models. Everything does bolt up but whats the use without the reprogrammed ECU. I know he's spoken with Tom's Racing a few times about this but they want a firm order of at least 10 units since the R&D will be needed on the USA ECU.

Yes we can get them since were the USA distibutor for Tom's Racing, price was around $8000.00 and that's with a warranty.I didn't think the price was half bad considering Tom's Racing works hand in hand with Toyota, the components in the full kit and warranty

 

Luis,
How many people have commited to the Tom's Supercharger? If they R&D the US ECU, sign me up...

 

But is that only for the US GS350 or for the GS300 also?

 

The last I saw the price on the SC was like 8500.

For that price, and thats probably not including labor why not save your money and buy a car thats made to go fast in a straight line?

No offense to anyone if its your idea thing to do.
