Fuys, we have a tune that we have done extensive dyno and track development on. You do not need to custom tone your supercharged RCF. You will receive our stock Supercharger tune. Once you start running the car, you can simply send us some basic datalogs which we will evaluate to make sure the car is running as it should.

We are no longer short on staff, our new tech/fabricator started a week ago and we couldn't be happier with his work, absolutely A+.

Right now we are sold out RCF kits and we wont be able to deliver more until late June or early July. We are currently taking deposits for SC's for early July delivery.

Big thanks to everyone who ordered!

I am sure that the kit is not something that I want to continuously bolt on and off every two years or less.

When I had my Vortech G35, I got pulled over by CHP because he heard a "blowoff valve". Even after visually inspecting the engine bay, the guy swore I had a turbo. He took pics of my engine bay and I accepted the ticket and prepared to embarrass the F@ck out of him in court, but he never showed and ticket was dismissed. Hell, Vortech is actually in SOCAL, lol. Figured he got back to the precinct and his buddies laughed at him for writing a ticket on a supercharger with the CARB EO number right on the compressor. If RR gets a EO number, then they can pull you over all they want, but it won't go anywhere, because the car will pass smog. You can't combat ignorance and a badge, so just have your ducks in a row.

That doesn't sound too bad. Maybe I will splurge a bit and get this kit. Once they are back in stock and I can save up the money.

If kits have already been sold then why hasn't anyone posted up anything?? I wouldn't think it would take no more than a few days for the install..

Most if not all of the first batch went to Ekanoo Racing, the second batch is just starting now and I have a install schedule for next weekend!

Kanoo bought only 4 kits. One of the kits they will attempt to install on an LC500 with piggy back ECU, so we will see how that goes.

So most likely we won't get a CARB sticker for this kit ? :/

The people complaining about smog are weak sauce. I’ve been FBO for 3 years now and smogged my Lexus twice already no issues. I never removed any of my bolt on’s or tune either. FBO or SC won’t affect the actually computer scanning for codes it’s ONLY the visual you have to worry about that’s it! Just find someone who will turn a blind eye and won’t pop your hood. Plus all the Lexus ISF, GSF and RCF guys that went to Fontana Auto Club Speedway this weekend were pretty much all modified as well and not having any issues with smog. As far as cops popping your hood that’s funny. I’ve been pulled over at least 20 times since 2013 for speeding by sheriffs and CHP and not once did they care to look or ask. As a matter of fact I had one CHP officer really like my car.
