Default RMM Supercharger

Does anyone know if a rmm supercharger with a custom bracket for a gs430 will fit an LS430?

I'm sure you can make anything work if it's all custom work

I'm assuming you meant, does the bracket for the GS430 work with the LS430 right?

Yes thats what I meant. Sorry if it wasn't clear enough.
I have an rmm superchager with a custom bracket made for a gs430.
I'm just wondering if it would be a plug and play for an ls430 seeing as how the ls430 and the gs430 basically have the same engine.

you have to see if the accessories are on the same side. The RMM uses the power steering pulley on the right hand side. also the tensioner might be in the way...not plug and play but maybe with a few minor mods...piping is another story.

Look CAREFULLY at the area where the supercharger will fit. On my LS400 the ABS and multiple brake lines are in that area. A great deal of effort would be needed to relocate all those components. Even then, other things could be an issue. The GS400 has the same engine as my LS400 but the K&N FIPK does NOT fit. Not even close. IMO similar problems will arise with the LS430. Get an experienced set of eyes on this project.

I'm actually trying to decide what to do with it. Either selling it (which i already have a friend thats interested in it) or possibly selling the gs and going for an LS. Thats why i"m asking about the sc kit fitting an ls. Decisions, decisions.....

did you check lextreme? I thought I saw a bracket for your car You can make this kit work as long as you have power steering. The 2gen GS SRT kit was a direct bolt on to the 3gen GS430 the only issue that prevented it from working was my electric steering that your LS may have?? Dont give up as this will work the pipes are nothing and you can sell the ones that came with it to a member on here. I'm sure you will find a buyer

it wont fit without removing the abs unit major brake work relocating lines not worth the hassle
