Heres the photos of my self made bracket.




How it will work





Mounting spacers





Mounting bracket

By the way, this bracket can be cutted in the bottom, and it can be fitted to fit the OEM crank pulley, like in HKS & ARMA kits! its better... less power loose! and cheaper!
i have did mine, becouse before i made the bracket, i bought the Charger with 95mm pulley, and i bought the crank pulley 5.25" to push 0.5+ bar ...

How are you enjoying the kit so far? I might be picking up an HKS Supercharger kit for my girlfirend or for me (give my LMS kit to girlfriend), just curious to hear more feedback.

I am following this thread very closely, I would also like to see the progression of the build. Are the HKS kits available for the U.S. now?

HeyArms, are you in Houston by any chance? I think I've seen your IS250 around town here..

I have an HKS supercharger on order, should be here late January or early February. If it's sold on this planet, there's always a way to get one...

Yes I am in Houston though. she sees life outside the garage a couple times a month lol

Sweet! Where did you buy it from and how much was it? Is it just the maim supercharger compoment, or the whole kit?

I've been looking for a few hour and haven't found squat.

One more question. How are you able to combat the lean burning engine? From what Ive read so far, the stock ECU is encrypted and adjustments can't be made to the A/F ratio if you add additional injectors.

Hi ,I am fine .thank you. I am really enjoy the HKS kit now,so far running until today ever thing no problem yet and finally my snow performance arrive. After install add 15hp to my car again..
will install the S/S manifold Soon and see any gain.

Nice to know that you are also upgrade to HKS Kit, this kit only bring one problem ..it generate more high Temperature to our engine. I have been monitor from day one until today ,Normally our water temp is only 85'c ,but if the boost on ..the water temp easily go up more then 95'c ...Exhaust temp also can go up to 980'c ...

I still looking the aluminum radiator to upgrade the water temp..But i really can't find the way to install the oil cooler and transmission oil cooler...Do you know any one of member here have been successful install the cooler ?

That's great to hear! Are you still running .8 bar? In terms of temp, have you been able to measure the temperature inside the engine block?That's a much more important number to look at. You should find a way to measure that. The pistons built for this car can withstand high temps.

I think it would be fairly inaccurate to back into engine block temp by reviewing the exhaust data, too much heat loss occurs by the time the fuel exhausts out of the tail pipes.
