Default GS300 TT prices?

I am looking for a GS right now and I am not sure wheather I should take a GS300 and turbo it or take a 400 and make some mods and make it faster NA. How much would a TT kit for a gs300 cost that would put me into 350+HP area? Is there a supercharger for it? If so, how much?

Thx in advance.

SRT has a kit for the GS300 that should fit meet criteria.

I know there are some engine swaps available as well but I don't have that info right in front of me.

If you have a 2nd. Gen GS SRT has the stage 4 turbo that should keep up with the TTGS400. A stage 2 with the intercooler should soot your needs just fine. I forgot to check to, is it a 1st. Gen or 2nd. Gen ?

Would those fit GS3 as well as IS3? The links only talk about IS300's. Is there a supercharger for GS400 GS300?

Thx for help...greatly appreciated.

Not sure about the stage IV but lexlyf, who works for swift, has the stage II in his GS3.

Yeah Retro, same app applies for both GS3 and IS3....
Another thing, I don't think you'll be able to do a TT setup without swapping out the engine.. Just a single turbo, but for what your looking for (350rwhp) a SRT 'Stage4" will be more than enough.. But it's a pricey 12 grand... I was actually contemplating getting the Stage4 or the MrSypher's Stage V.I.P. (Mo and Marken are going to do alittle something extra to my GS if I decided not to get the stage4)..... They X'd the stage3 so you have a choice of the stage 2 (around 6 grand) or the 4 which is almost double but includes inhouse install at SRT.... The choice is yours... Goodluck my friend...

If I do go with GS3, I am looking at stage 3 kit. That should put me into 300+HP and I can do some little extra mods like TC, LSD to get it to run even faster.

He said all he needs is 350hp(flywheel), the SRT STAGE I will be perfect for this. It costs $3,995.00(+S/H if Retro has it installed himself). Also if he chooses, installation at SRT will only run him around $500. There are other options like Toyomoto, etc... but for the kind of power you want(and buying the finished kit) the SRT stg. I is perfect. Plus Retro, you could always upgrade when your ready to the other stages(i.e. 450, 550+hp).

Thx for the info guys. I have a clear idea about the FI for GS3 now. Looking for the good deal on the car.

Should have specified where I want my power at...wheels or flywheel. I would be looking at stage 3. It seem to have good ammount of power for the right price.

So you want 350RWHP Then you could also go with a Toyomoto stage I but it will run a little more money(but has easier upgrade ability). The Toyomoto really becomes worth it when you go stage II+ IMO. Below is a vid of a Toyomoto stage II IS300(515rwhp/ 521tq- 659hp) running a 12.4@116 . Also below is a link to someone that was selling a Toyomoto stage III SC300 that has an impressive 729hp(570RWHP/ 560trq).

(570RWHP Toyo Stage III) https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...light=Toyomoto

What did he say??? I must have missed that....
When we talk HP, flywheel means NOTHING.... It's all about RWHP..

Just going by what he said . If someone says HP then that means HP. When someone says RWHP then that means RWHP .
