LMS has one for the GS430.. not for the 400 though.. maybe with some more money and modifications it'll fit the 400? i heard someone was trying it out like close to a year ago, don't know much more about it though.

You sure you want to put a nicely running car through this??? I did and regretted it. Say goodbye to Lexus reliability unless you are lucky enough to live in Cali of Maryland where there are experienced people to work on it.

Sorry to be a pessimist - but FI on my GS400 was a bigger money pit than my marriage!!

LOL...

I've had mine for four years now with no problems (knock on wood). I admit I drove to Maryland to get the work done but since then nothing major to speak of.

Course if I wanted more boost and started messing with it I could see that all coming to an end.

BTW: Marriage isn't the end. Wait and see what kids will cost ya!

Yup - as I posted in another thread. But the kit, leave it stock - and you have no problems. Add bigger injectors, bigger pulley etc and the reliability factor goes out the window.

And yes, I am glad I mentioned the Marlyland thing

Oh I know - I have a kid too

thanks for the info guys. jonny i think you raise a good point. i have been thinking the same thing. i just want to increase my horsepower substantially. and i think turbo would be even less reliable. ill probably just do engine mods but they dont increase hp much. nor do intake and exhaust upgrades.
