If only they would for the GS....................4.7 only, the LX470 guys can use it..............

trbopooh

Come on Steve, is there something you're not telling us?

Charles GReddy

the reason there is not a supercharger for the GS line is due to the fact that the motors have V.V.T.I. technology The LX 470 and the Tundra do not have that system in them. The supercharger may or may not bolt on but the 4.7 motor have a different timing set up as well as fuel system.

Humm I just seen a commercial that said all Lexus vehicles come with a VVT-I engine..

J.P.

Maybe it was just for Lexus Cars....

Charles GReddy

For the most part all of the Toyota and Lexus models do come with V.V.T.I. but on the models that have the 3.4 V6 and 4.7 litter V8 they do not. The supercharger works somewhat like the supercharger offered for the Solara and Tacoma models. The MAF automaticy adjustes for the low P.S.I. out put of the supercharger. Here is another thing for the 4.7 guys. It is highly recomened that the rear end gearing be changed as well.

I spoke with TRD months ago and he said it would work just fine on the 4.0 or 4.3 but there is not enough clearance under the hood.

Charles GReddy

Bolting the unit on is not the problem. The fuel systems on the V.V.T.I. models can not compensate for the extra fuel needed. Not to mention that in stock form the 8 cyl. motors and the 6 cyl. motors do not take forced pressure for to long. please keep in mind i am speaking in stock form not with other added units such as fuel computers or high performance fuel systems...

i now of a shop (that shall remain namelees) that has blown up motors on IS 300's after installing a supercharger kits. I am not saying not to do it. Hell, i want to put a supercharger on my Gs 430. However, i do not want to do knowing that the units on the market do not work well.

Charles,

Does GReddy offer anything for 2nd gen. GS other than PE exhausts, front lip and radiator cap?

Charles GReddy

You forgot the oil filler cap...lol
We are going to be offering a new exhaust system. It will be part of our EVO line. We have already made a prototype system and let me tell you it fits great. The new systems lifts that mufflers about 3 inches. I am not sure when the new unit will be ready for sale but i will post once i know some thing....

v300

*cough-cough* Charles does this shop have something to do with a place that doesn't exist in Nevada?

Charles,

How about some "electronics" or GReddy's turbo? I have already the cat-back on my GS and I'm very pleased.

kjhouston

OK so how much is this supercharger??? I just got my wife a LX, but I don't think I need her to carpool that much faster. How much more power will it make? speed?

Just trying to get an idea.

Thanks

Charles GReddy

The TRD unit should make 75-95 extra poines...
i was told that the unit would sell for around $3500, not installed.

e-Manage (piggy-back fuel computer)


Our new e-Manage system is an inexpensive programmable fuel management system that allows you to properly tune your factory fuel system, without having to change the entire factory ECU system to an expensive "stand-alone" unit. The e-Manage system is a universal "piggy-back" type unit, which taps into most factory ECU wiring and it still utilizes the existing sensors. This unit only works on motors up to 6 cyl. Basic functions will allow the user to slightly alter factory injector duty-cycle(± 20% at 5 preset RPM points), by intercepting and altering airflow or MAP sensor signals. Additional features that are built into the system, but are only accessible though the use of our PC-Windows based "e-Manage Support Tool" communication software are a 16x16 Airflow Adjustmemt Map, Larger Main Injector correction adjustment, Upgrade Air Flow Meter adjustment, Boost Limiter Cut, Anti-engine Stall, VTEC-fuel adjustment, Real-time Map Trace, Real-time Display, Real-time Communication, and basic Data-logging.

With the use of our "Optional Injector Harness" and the software, the unit has the ability to control an additional 16x16 Injector duty cycle Map and the Controls for adding up to 2 Addional Sub-injectors. If the "Optional Ignition Harrness" and the software is used the unit has the ability to control a 16x16 Ignition Timing Map. All of the above Maps can also be Map-traced in Real-time as well. If the factory range of Map or Airflow meter is surpassed, you can incorperate our "Optional GReddy Pressure Sensor and Pressue Harness" to set larger scales of ajustment.
