didn't ask if he was a member here but I talked to him.

of course there also isn't something that's going to fit the SC400 and LS400 that will fit the GS400.

that's a very very incomplete kit.

He is not selling the bracket which can be bought on ebay if you do a search for supercharger bracket ls400.

he's missing stuff like....... all the piping? and like the bracket?

so you get

supercharger
head gasket
injectors
fuel pump
turbo timer

aren't those items you can pickup anywhere?
It's missing 100% of the stuff that's "designed" for sc400 or ls400 or gs400

in another words useless to us. This is stuff you can get off the shelf. A kit would have, like a "bracket" or "piping" or at least an intake filter? *sigh

Stay away from this so call kit. This is not a kit. He is selling few parts and parts doesnt make a kit.

There are few things i would question about:

this kit will support exactly 704 hp. i ran only about 522hp (still pretty good for a daily driver). in this kit you will recieve everything pictured. 1 mirror polished vortech v2-sq supercharger that will support up to 18psi.
The supercharger will support, but doesnt mean ur engine can make that much. The 1uzfe max out about 7-9 psi with Vortech V2-SQ. If you used 8.5:1 HG, you wont see boost at all. Honestly speaking, he didnt make 522 hp. If he did, he has something. 8 psi from Vortech wouldnt yield 522hp.

and one apexi turbo timer (new in box) i am still using the bracket for a smaller supercharger
Superbracket is very specific and you can not just fit a smaller supercharger. The bracket work on the V2 will work on V1 and T1. V1 produce the same about of power as the V2. T1 is slightly larger supercharger. So, there is no smaller supercharger. Why would any need a turbo timer in a supercharged system. He obviously a very good in B.S. or discriptive writting.

STAY AWAY!!!!
