Default Decided to go with the supercharger kit for the isf

So I gave myself a couple options . One was to get a Rolex 41mm buss down or buy a newer faster car or just install the supercharger and after a month of deciding I decided to call Simon and will be doing a compression test to my engine to see if everything is working normal or properly before the supercharger install . I wanted to hold off til spring but kept getting smoke by evos lol just need more power and hopefully it’ll b enough to satisfy myself and beat some evos . Plus I never had a forced induction car and thought I would share it with you guys since not many have the supercharged kit installed yet . I really wanted to wait until more people got it to see if there’s any common issues or if anyone is having problems but from my research and what I’ve read I think I should be fine plus been dealing with RR Racing for awhile now and they always take care of me . Wish me luck on this journey lol. I will be dropping the car off next Friday and prey I get a 100 on my compression test lol so we can move forward to the supercharger install

Congrats! Welcome to a very select club.

You really won’t be disappointed with the kit from Rafi and Simon. Just done a 500+ mile road trip up to the North of England with the U.K. Lexus forum. Car and blower performed flawlessly.

I’ve also worked out exactly what I need to do to bring it online, so I can conserve fuel when needed. I was travelling in convoy with a couple of relatively stock ISF’s both ways, and we all had roughly the same amount of fuel left when we stopped at the service stations for breaks.

When I did put my foot down, it was like night and day! The guys following me loved the sound, and I was pulling truck lengths with minimal effort.

I’m coming up to a year now with my supercharger kit, and not a single gripe or issue to report. As with all my other RR-Racing products, the quality, materials, testing really shows.

It’s not cheap, but it’s worth every cent!

Best of luck, and do let us know how you get on.

All the best,

Pete

Thanks Joe... we will always take good care if you, let’s just make sure the compression numbers are good and You’ll get a lot more pleasure out of the SC than the Rolex!

I'm glad you chose the SC route - purely for my own selfish reasons...

Are you going UEL or EL headers? Videos of you killing other cars when all is said and done please!

And good luck, although RR Racing got your back so not really needed!

Congrats. I’m a little jealous. I am considering this route as well. But I also plan to grow old with the car, so I am considering leaving it N/A for very LONG TERM reliability.

Im not saying their kit isn’t reliable. But I have had some back luck with forced induction in the past... completely unrelated to Lexus or RR.

I may join the dark side after buying a house with a massive garage, which I’m still shopping for.

please report back with your results.
