well, the only person on CL (as far as i know), is 00lexondub now, you have to know that he purchased this unit from kyle3481 and he (kyle3481) had an RMM supercharger custom built for the 430. the RMM supercharger was designed for the GS400, not the 430. im sure its not too hard for someone w/a little knowledge in that field to figure it out, but i am of no help there. good luck.

Well from sources they say that you have to do one mod. Thats what I am trying to find out. I am not sure if its the space around the wheel or rubber under tray. So if someone knows please inform me...

If I remember right I think that he had posted that the rmm supercharger worked fine on the gs430 - the only mod was a custom bracket that had to be made. Anyway, unless a used one comes up for sale in the classifieds or anything, I don't think there are any gs430 superchargers left available for sale.

Your best bet is to contact 00lexondub as he is the only one that I know on CL that has the RMM SC on a GS430.

the su percharger will work fine when installed with the brackets (but wont be able to run correctly with anything over 4k rpms), i would buy the software before you even drive it, the gs430 just doesnt accept it..
but give me a few more days and i will tell u the computer software to buy that will make it properly run with the gs430..
im pretty sure you will need to fabraicte the brackets, and then get a halltech interceptor and have it tuned properly!

and oh yeah... i got mine to work with no CEL light on !

I don't think fitment is a big issue from what I've heard. I think one of the brackets has to be modified a little. I haven't done it, but that's what I was told.

Rick, your guys called my buddies about something the other day. What "software" are you talking about? Are you having issues with something???

oh yea good luck with the install.. you are gonna have to custom amchine and entire bracekts, get the software, a gs400 belt tensioner,... and some other little custom things here and there..
other than that its a simle install..
i would reccomebd doing what i did and do a tranny cooler, a shift kit, a by pass valve up grade while u doing it as well.
and OH YEAH make sure that you upgrade/replace your alternator prior to install because if you have to change it YOU WILL BE VERY UPSET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
