I remember and searched to confirm a thread about a Blitz developed supercharger. But no pictures was ever posted I don't think. The thread goes back to 03, but haven't seen anything since. But here you go for sale in Europe.

Mods if this is a repost please remove, I did search for duplicate posts. I hope I searched well.

 

how much is that in dollars?? It would be nice to be boosted

 

expensive... $12.6k, without shipping and tax included. I'll get rid of my greddy asap if I can get that price LOL.

 

yeah sam got it....UK£ 8 076.66 = $12,583.44 U.S. dollars than tax and then shipping and then installation if your not doing it yourself

yeah and then on top of that it was designed for the SC430 _(if i recall correctly) so you would probably have to rework the piping IF this would even work at all. for that kind of $ i dont wanna have to rework ANYTHING

 

it sits on top of the mani...the intake pipe probably wouldn't need much tweaking to work...

 

yeah looking at these pics your probably right....and man those pics look sweet especially the one on the LS430

but man for 12.5k uninstalled its a pass for me ESPECIALLY since it still only makes what 323 hp?


here it is cheaper.....but still not cheap

guys....sorry to hijack this thread, but as it relates to price, isn't it much more cost prohibitive to just go with some kind of custom nitrous set up?

awhile ago when I met with Todd at TM, he said he could do an entire custom nitrous set up with tune for $3K.

after hearing the nightmare stories (as it relates to the tranny and expense) of going turbo and supercharger FI, isn't a nitrous set up the cheap and easy way to go?

any updates on nitrous set ups?

 

Good point. I'm surprised that there aren't many guys that bottle feed their Lexus. As long as the setup is done right there shouldn't be problems, then again that also applies to Turbo and SC. I say go for it ..

 

Why would you need a "custom" kit?! All you really need is a wet fogger system. Now if you want equal distrubution to all cylinders you can go with a direct port system, but I don't see how that equals 3k.

FYI, although nitros is a cheap power adder, over time the cheap power begins to add up. Filling up the bottle is not free and depending where you refill, it can start to get expensive.

 

this thread seems epic enough to bump after 11 years.....this just got posted on the lexus groups on facebook so now im looking for a set lol

 

I saw that car on YouTube, they put together a pretty solid blower setup for only $3-4000 if I remember correctly? It was only able to run about 7-8lbs but it was a much better $/hp than that Blitz kit for $12,5 a decade ago.

 

didn’t realize that this setup involved 2 separate blowers on it, when I first read it I assumed the reference of “twin Compressors” was referring to a twin rotors. I was just looking at the photo and noticed it actually has 2 blowers mounted on there! Seems a little over the top for a stock 3UZ. I would have assumed that a single was capable of putting out more boost than it would be able to use? And harder to get the belt to to stay on tight at higher rpms when it’s only in contact with about 25% of the blower pulleys.
The unit I was referencing was just a single roots type blower off of a mustang cobra. There is a new kit available that has a new lower intake and moves the factory throttle body off to the side, and then routing the air into the rear of the now manifold. Similar to how Ford sets up the Blower in a Mustang Cobra. The kit doesn’t involve any type of Intercooler so the boost is somewhat limited. I think it would be a great candidate for a methanol injection kit to chemically cool the incoming air temperature. There is a YouTube series with the install on a Canadian Celsiure. And finishes with some dynamo runs and tuning. It’s been a few months since I watched it but I believe the company who sells the kit includes a factory ecu that has been remapped to accommodate the extra fuel loads and timing adjustments. So the kit didn’t require a new management system. And was a very affordable way to get your C8 up to 300 rwhp. I will look up the videos and include a link.

 

hope everyone is doing well.....I wouldn't bump this thread for no reason. If you have Instagram please check out my page: @AR5_GS430

You will (hopefully) not be disappointed.

I probably should get back to updating my build thread on here now:
