Obviously wrong. They did it once to get the feel for the setup. It was done at 3lbs and won't be duplicated untill the engine is broken in.


BTW, does Toyomoto have any type of turbo setup for the GS4? Just curious J/K

oh boy....ok..i was just asking question...very mature questions....

when breaking in a motor be it at 3 psi or 0 psi on a n/a motor full throttle mashes are not appropriate....but being the professionals they are im sure SRT knows this?...
so obviously i wasnt wrong...you said they did it and they did ...it was at 3psi but im not wrong......correct?

as far as toyomoto since you brought them up......they have never done a turbo or s/c for the 400 motor...how ever i do happen to own a little 6cyl motor that puts out some pretty nice power.....and toyomoto has been dealing with turbos on lexus's for over 10 years now......and srt has had ....umm..uhh...a couple months?....because the s/c kit didnt make much power?..oh..ok..just checking.......

im suprised they did this kit..and anxious to see the results...i just want to know the answers to the questions i asked.....and if it shifts right.......not if it shifts...but if it shifts right at high boost...and what is high boost for that matter....anyway...trying to be friendly....although it isnt deserved...but im trying....

...Jeff

That is very true...all it take is 1 redline to put damage on the new engine. There is no need to break in the engine any further after a couple full throttle acceleration because any premature wear is already done. Especially with 700lbs of extra weight the engine just have to work that much harder to redline.

Consider this engine already broken in and ready for action.

Now let's see some dyno numbers.
