Default 650BHP Twin Turbo GS400 Dyno Specs

I will have my car within the next two days. From my understanding (will verify as soon as I have charts on hand), it made 487RWHP/498RWTQ on pump gas and 13lbs of boost. I will put dyno charts up this weekend. Assuming 25% drive loss, this would make it a 650bhp GS4TT

Awsome,

Where did you get this all built and how long did it take? Also, when you get it can you take pics of the engine bay for us/me?

You can see the video of the engine bay. It is 27MB and it was made before the final tunning stages.

The work was performed by Swift Racing Technologies and they are located in Beltsville, MD.

That's just obscene! I really can't imagine how such a car might feel...

You guys all need to send this info to the major car mags since there have been multiple super-sedan comparos recently between the M5, E55 AMG, RS6, and S-Type R. Even though it's not available from Lexus in this configuration, it'd be nice to show that you can get the Lexus mid-size sedan segment entry into (and beyond!) the same performance range!

Congrats!

All I can do is drool, drool and drool some more!!!!!

How much did this cost you and what exactly has been upgraded? The engine, transmission etc?

How does the car feel in acceleration? 0 - 60 in less than 4 seconds? Quarter mile times? Drivability? Reliability? How long did they keep your car for while doing the install?

Here is a full list of upgrades.

We will see as soon as I head out to the track. It's raining in NJ right now, but as soon as it clears up, I will take her to Englishtown.

Drivability? Reliability? How long did they keep your car for while doing the install?
I can't really answer these yet as I will have to drive the car with its full power to be able to say. We will see. The install takes anywhere from 2-4 months. Your best bet is to find out for yourself as the time frame will differ. Mine took a little longer than expected, but hopefully it will be worth the wait.

Pump gas!?!?!!?!? That thing is a crazy! Imagine if you put on 16" wheels (stock wheels instead of those heavy 20s, you have!), and race gas?

Hey Mariusz,
Good to hear you are getting your "baby" or should I say your "out of control Teenager" back. Your video is off da hook. Just wondering if you have some good stoppers for your ride. I looked at your mods, and noticed that there was no mention on brakes. Knowing you, you just forgot to list it.

I was talking with SUPRATRD about his beast. Seems he's getting new stoppers.

Happy and safe driving to you. Remember "Power is nothing without control"

aloha

Im curious about traction. I know your going to have a hard time getting your tires to grab.

Someones gotta get your ride into Turbo Magazine. After all of that time, frustration, work, and of course money, thats the least that can happen for you.

Sick car!!
