Lately i've been in the works fitting a supercharger to the project. Using an Eaton m112 from the mustang cobra back in 03'/04' and a manifold adapter as well as a throttle body adapter from Elate Manufacturing down in Australia.

The 2 adapter essentially make it an easy install. Prior to install i did service the unit. New fluid, new fill plug, grease the rear bearings, chopped the oem intercooler flange off, some primer and paint, and picked up an OE size pulley. (3.6)

Everybody's go to question, "what ecu? What tune?" Still on stock gs430 ecu, as well as injectors until i can save up the cost for upgrades. A pair of guys in canada did it for their LS430 without issue so I'm confident I will get by.

Some other notable things to make it complete, one of the idler pulleys had to be swapped from ribbed to smooth, a longer belt obviously, and the heater core lines needed to be altered if i wanted to keep heat. Which i did, so with a few sections of silicone hose and some fittings, i managed to complete that circuit. I am still in the process of making an intake, i am rigging up a temp solution until i have the funds to do it how i want.

My temporary intake is fitted. I gave the car a heat cycle once i charged the battery. No fuel, coolant, or air leaks 🙏🏼. When the weather isnt calling for rain I'll take it out on the road.
