Sweeeeeet. Was that super charger on Michael Kilty's car?

I don't remember questioning or making fun of your inquiry before. I still want my car drivable under normal condition. I've seen my friend doing forced induction on his car without thinking too much ahead of the process and now with 10 mpg, he barely drives that car anymore (as a daily commut.).

Anyhow. Think before you jump. Nothing wrong with being well informed and knowledged before doing anything.

Lee,

Please just PM me the mpg after you get the average result. Appreciate it.

No, the supercharger is brand new. I am serial #009.

Actually concerning gas MPG, if I didn't speed and just drove in "normal" mode, I actually got better gas mileage with the SRT INTAKE/RACE ECU. I notice I went from 17 mpg to about 19 mpg with that setup. I will keep track of my mpg since I have to CHILL for the break in period.

Check out my pics in PART 2 thread

I do that. It would be interesting to see if there is a change in mpg. Moe told me to watch out for the 4th gear shift with the supercharger. He said that when I hit 90mph, that in an instant I will be at 140, and the GS being so heavy, it will smooth that mph jump. 4th gear being the power gear?!?!?! I can't wait!

Lee,

I'm getting around 19 to 20 mpg with SRT intake/ecu with torque converter. I'm very happy with the mpg. If mpg only drops to around 17 mpg then I'd be *really* interested. What LSD did you get? the supra LSD or the TRD LSD?

LexCiting

TRD LSD. Steve Ganz told me that the Supra LSD had a higher gearing, and that may cause problems hitting the rev limiter for the GS with a SC. The TRD LSD uses the GS stock gearing. I think it is 3.26.

If I'm not mistaken, BadBtz4u got mkilty's S/C....can't wait to see that set up either

Lots of Forced Induction happening lately, huh fellas?

Gas milege isnt that bad, but it depends how you drive it of course. If you just spent like 10K on a supercharger dont you think you will drive it a little faster? Mine gets pretty decent milege, about 15-16 and i do mostly city driving. And my car is stage 3.

wcirk,

Thanks for the info. In my case, with supercharger, I'd not drive faster, only on the track. I'm not considered as a reckless driver picking up a race with every BMW and others. I rarely race with anybody on the freeway, maybe twice a year at most.

Anyhow, 15 to 16 mpg in city for stage 3 is pretty decent in my opinion. I could definitely live with that. Do you use SRT's SC or you have it fabricate somewhere else?

Thank you.

Well, I be glad when you get some pics of the new gear on the Lex...lol ......I know If I see you riding around the northern Maryland area not to pull up next to you.

Hey Lee,
Nice to see you enjoying your vehicle.

Nice kill on the CLK430. But you knew he did not have a prayer.

The M5 will be handed his rear end after you race him.

Pics look good. See you this Saturday.

BTW MD, VA, DC area Lexus owners:
If everyone wants to meet up at SRT this Saturday, you are all welcome. I will be there from 12PM to 3PM.

The address of the shop is:
Swift Racing Technologies
5730 Sunnyside Ave. Unit D&E
Beltsville, MD 20705
(301)982-4600

Directions: From the Beltway (495) take Rt. 1 North exit,
Make a Right Turn at the Sunnyside Ave Traffic Light (Exxon at the intersection)
We are at the building AFTER the NTB building on the back side right across the parking lot from Todd Allan Printing. The tell tale signs are a new ramp with two bright yellow posts.

///MDex

You can also look for skid marks on the ramp, just before the ramp, in the parking lot, in and out of the business complex, at the nearest intersection, etc., etc.,......

Listen for the sound and smell of burning rubber, the smell of exhaust, motor oil, ATF, and the sound of high revving V8s and 6s

GS400_PUSHER

Well I will be there! I talked to Mo a few minutes ago, Its gonna be fun DEX wish you could be there......man

Crazy...crazy, now if my stupid country will ever get off its *** and produce higher grade unleaded petrol. Yes, you read it right, we are probably the only country paying $ 0.20/litre for an 89-octane gas (govt subsidy - cheap gas, crappy quality).

Oh well, I guess I have to be satisfied with the twin turbo 2JZe engine hehehe.
