NYBlkLex -I wouldn't worry too much about the LMW sc kit, there are always going to be cases where people might have an issure. Even some of the lexus big boys like SRT and Toyomoto gets cars back for issues and things blowing or breaking down, it happens once in a while. there are 3 gs right now running the lmw sc kit and none have had issues. Also LMW now offers a fuel I-management system with their kit. Good luck in your search. We need more FI gs3's

 

Soprano maybe you should get your facts strait before you bash someones product because LMW does in fact have a fuel management system that does come with the kit and it is actually really really nice.
As for people running it without the fuel management if they dont try to get crazy hp numbers from the kit then it does work fine on a stock engine. If they try to push the limits without the fuel management then obviously they are going to have problems.
So I would have no problem buying a LMW s/c setup and running it everyday without problems. Good luck with your purchase.
Soprano is turboeast a sponsor of yours? If so can you give us some real life examples of gs's running their setup??

 

I was just merely pointing out some stuff thats been discussed already with IS300 customers who have said their kits are garbage...and in fact, LMW straight out copied Turboeast's S/C set up and there was a long thread on that as well.......the LMW S/C kit is a waste of money for what it says it comes with and the low power that IS300's have made on the dyno only 240rwhp....pretty crappy for spending over $6000...their website does not even list anything for the GS300....so you might want to get your facts straight too...where does it say anything about engine manage ment or fuel management? it doesnt NOT.....

I would advise not to buy this kit to anyone other then californians who lives down the block from the place...otherwise, expect major headaches with this kit...

no, they are not a sponsor of mine....I am not sponsored by anyone nor would I want to be...I'm just pointing out the facts here....maybe you should have done that before ur rebuttle at me

there will be a nice Turboeast Supercharged 320 rwhp IS300 at lexfest, if you want to see that next weekend.....

 

240 Seems very low and hard to believe, i'm sure they wouldn't lie about it but man thats low , that sounds more the like Prolex SC numbers than a LMW SC , we have a member who just got the kit for his gs3 and is pulling 280 rwhp and that without proper tuning or and y pipe. we had another member do 298 rwhp which is what is expected of this kit, we also have another member who running LMW extreme SC kit which is pushing about 340 rwhp right now, no issues. Mayb their website is not updated, nut I guess you can say that about most busy places like Toyomoto who never updates their site and SRT which never does aswell. But when calling them they'll explain everything the kit comes with.

 

^^ any proof of those claimed numbers you mention on those cars? I've LOVE to see that...especially an LMW kit making 340 rwhp....thanks

 

Has he posted the dyno results yet no, But he is one of our moderators and a major sponsored car on the west coast, he needs not to boast about his car or his numbers and is a very well known member in our gs community. But he is running the 2nd option kit from LMW which is called extreme or something like that.

Bottom line is for $5500.00 shipped and being able to get at least 280rwhp and up to 298rwhp is a very nice deal imo.

But I do like the option that if your in the north east and this turboeast place is close or within only hours that you also check them out to compare numbers. what does the turbo east SC kit cost? and what does it push for the GS3?

 

Welp here it is, right from their website stating all the facts bub.

SUPER STREET

The heart of the Super street supercharger kit is powered by the Powerdyne BD11A. The silent drive technology gives the BD11A one of the quietest drive superchargers on the market. No oil lines or maintenace required. The Hyperdyne impeller generates low RPM boost and flow that is unmatched by other convential centrifugal superchargers.

The intercooler has been custom designed to fit behind the front bumper with no cutting or minipulating of the factory frame. The 15"x 5.5"x3" intercooler has been designed to take in maximum air volume with little or no heat soak.

The kit also consists of mandrel bent 6061 bead rolled thin walled polished or anodized aluminum piping, HKS sequential blow off valve, anodized or polished custom T6 billet aluminum bracket, heavy duty stainless steel clamps, high temp silicone Turbo hoses, vacuum hoses, belts, pulleys, spark plugs, K&N filter and all necessary hardware for an easy do it yourself install.

The kit delivers 7-13 lbs of boost @ 6,400 RPM with an adjustable air fuel ratio. Using the LMS FMU (fuel management unit) you are capable of adjusting your A/F ratio to 11.5 with 13 lbs. of boost without touching your factory ecu, injectors, or fuel pump.(note: head gasket or internals are necessary to lower compression on kits boosting over 10psi) Minor tuning and no chance of any check engine lights. Maintain your factory fuel economy at cruising speeds with 300+ horses at the tip of the gas pedal.

The kit is estimated to deliver 300+ RWHP and 275+ ft lb of torque with a modified exhaust system.

Dyno results soon


$5,500.00 installed or shipped

So as you cans ee it is not over $6000 and it DOES have fuel management.

As for a turbo pushing 320hp are you gonna take that into a wall as well? I would love to see that.

 

CLEARLY, it doesnt mention ANY FUEL MANAGEMENT..cmon, what they talk about is a JOKE...for the same price, you can get a Turboeast kit with a Greddy E-Manage at least.........

no need to act like a jackass either.....keep it to PM if you must feel the need to joke or insult me for crashing my car....*****

as I mentioned, there will be a nice 320 rwhp Ati SUPERCHARGED TURBOEAST IS300 at lexfest....NO, its not mine.....

will you be at Lexfest? would LOVE to meet you...

 

PRO STREET

The heart of the pro street supercharger kit is powered by the Powerdyne BD600. The silent drive technology gives the BD600 one of the quietest drive superchargers on the market. No oil lines or maintenace required. The Hyperdyne impeller generates low RPM boost and flow that is unmatched by other convential centrifugal superchargers.

The kit delivers 6.5 lbs of boost @ 6,400 RPM with an A/F ratio of 12.2. No fuel management is necessary with this kit. No tuning and no chance of any check engine lights. Maintain your factory fuel economy at cruising speeds with 300 horses at the tip of the gas pedal.

The kit delivered 242 RWHP and 221 ft lb of torque on a 2003 Lexus IS300 Automatic transmission with a completely stock exhaust, injectors, fuel pump, and engine computer. Finally, the power the car should have been born with.

If Soprano is referring to the same thread over at is300.net as me, I too would be very wary of LMW. When the major tuners questioned LMW about their kit and knowledge of the is300, LMW could not answer. I have no loyalties to of the FI companies but I am loyal to my CL members. LMW has not done their homework like SRT, boostlogic, and turbonetics. If I were in the orignal posters position, I would definitely not be comfortable purchasing a LMW kit.

This thread is an interesting read: http://my.is/forums/showthread.php?t...&highlight=LMW
(Mind you, the original poster is a moron, but when some of the more experienced guys start questioning LMW about injector flow rates and more technical aspects, LMW could not answer.)

 

I can't understand how the same kit for an is3 can do only 240rwhp and than do 280rwp-298 rwhp on a gs3? Does that make sense?

Again the kit now comes with a fuel management system, mayb it didn't before I'm not sure but I know its included with the kit now.

Now to go back ontopic the starter of this thread asked for a kit for gs3 not an is3. we have had 3 gs3's come on our forum and talk very nice about the kit and had their cars dyno'd and raved about the kit so far and the numbers it has produced. has anyone put the the turboeast sc on a gs3 before, if so we would like to hear from them to compare results. So for what the starter of this thread asked I still think, being that we have gs3 owners with the LMW kit all good and no bad results, that the LMW kit is a good buy for the money..

 

well after reading it again I gues their is a different kit for the is3 than the gs3. so why are we talking about the is3 kit?

 

because both engines are identical!

and your posts above make no sense at all and are pretty confusing and hearsay

as I said, please provide links to GS300's with this LMW kit, or better yet, find me ONE that NOT in California..........

 

their not indectical, they have some small differences but how is this confusing the info verylost posted says for the is3 and post 245rwhp and the info lexis11 posted says gs3 and posts 300+ for 5500.00 shipped with fuel management. let me look for the links..

 

i fu wanna see a LMS kit on a gs3 out of cali try mikeyboy...

also tsopranoMB... i dont think lexis11 was tryin to insult you at all, you seem to get upset over nothing.. calm down..

 

this thread should be either locked or moved to the forced induction section....

so much misinformation in this thread its beyond riddiculus....
