We've seen plenty of the RR supercharger engine pictures. Give us the juicy gossip on the performance.

The engine was just one shot. And mine is different (can you spot the differences?) The car is a blast to drive. Power comes on as early as 3500 rpm, but even from a 1000 rpm, the response when you step on the throttle is instantaneous. Power is linear and just keeps pulling to red line. With the Borla exhaust, you cant really hear the supercharger, so sounds like a stock car with exhaust. Passing cars on the highway is effortless. Switch lanes and step on the gas and the car is doing triple digits in a blink. When you mash the pedal, the back end gets a little squirrelly fighting for traction, but manageable.

Looks good. Really digging the clean look under the hood and the centre console.

Looks sweet!! Any more closeups of the engine compartment? It looks like you may have routed the intake/intercooler differently? You still have both foglights intact? Is the boost gage you gave the one RR sells with the kit?

What is the colored unit by the driver firewall?

Nicely done

All details on the build here: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/bui...r-install.html

The boost gauge is the one recommended by RR. It is a multi gauge. The control units are what is in the orange container you see (my kid's pencil holder is what I used to protect it from water)
I retained the fog lights
I also trimmed all the engine bay covers to fit around the supercharger
