It might happen soon, they already have a RC-F kit you can buy and also a working kit installed on a 14 IS350. Seems like the ECU is finally cracked so turbo kits/superchargers can happen now.

Hopefully its in the 4-5k range, here is the RC-F one.

Looks like they have a tune for our 2013+ GS. Really? Thought those were locked down...

Hi... yes, our 350 SC kit is coming very shortly. We have a shop IS350 Fsport we use for development, but we already have 2 local GS350 set up for customizing the setup for the GS platform.

Please look for updates in August, and release in September once we complete road/dyno/track testing.

thanks!

Thanks for that plug.

Our intro price is actually $6300, and we are offering special deals for local installs (we are located near Philadelphia).

Also, we are working on further power upgrades. The Supercharger we are using, the Rotrex c38-91, is the biggest unit Rotrex currently makes, and will support around 500whp in this application. So we are continuing to develop this platform, as we have done with the ISFs and RCF.

That said, as a point of reference, our current Stage I supercharger for the IS350 matches the power/weight ratio of the RCF.

I think that if you look at where GS350 sedan prices are on the used market, you can get a pristine low mileage car for low 30's, so I think supercharging the current 2GR engine models is a great alternative to any future turbo models.

Thats awesome. any idea what a install would typically run? It sounds like you don't need to drill into the oilpan, what difficulty rating would it be for a DIY install for someone? Kudos for figuring this out. Some have upgraded to a GS-F to get more power, but this is a much cheaper option.

Install is actually easy. Most of our ISF Supercharger customers did the install themselves, but I would say the is350 kit is less than 1/2 the install time of the ISF kit.

nothing needs to be cut or drilled, but you do need to tap into some wires at the ECU.

great news, so what power gains are we looking at on the current GS350? Sorry if I missed it.

+116whp Stage I kit, with headers. Without headers it will be a bit less gain, but we haven't tested a stock header car, we will soon.

Its a whole other level of performance, I promise.

If anyone is local, you are welcome to come to the shop to experience the power for yourself (on our shop IS350 FSport). We are located in Exton PA, near Philadelphia.

The GS kit really need to include the rear wheel drive also and not just the AWD.
