Hello Everyone.
Im doing some research into purchasing either a GS430 or a 450H.......based upon what mods are available for performance.
I like the idea of the 450H just to be different from the crowd.
Here in Australia, Toyota produced the TRD Aurion in 2007 which featured a locally developed TRD Supercharger for the 2GR engine.
It produced

My Question to you all - whats the likelihood of fitting this supercharger to the 2GR Hybrid engine of the 450H? For something really powerful, different?

The new TRD Aurion is the world's first production car to use the Eaton TVS (Twin Vortices Series) supercharger. Fitted to the standard Aurion’s 3.5-litre V6, TRD have managed to extract a handy 241kW from the warmed over engine and 336nM of torque from 1800rpm, and claim that it is enough to see the TRD Aurion dispatch the 0-100km/h dash in 6.1 seconds.
The centerpiece of the TRD Aurion is the supercharged V6. Developed by TRD in Australia in conjunction with V8 Supercar regular Harrop Engineering, the forced induction dual-VVT-i Quad Cam 2GR-FE V6 engine features the first series production application of the new Eaton TVS (Twin Vortices System) four-lobe supercharger.

How will you tune the Lexus engine? There's no tuning support for it out there as of today. IS-F owners are even having trouble in that category.... Sorry ![Frown](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif)
Forgot to add, all of these cars, no matter the same engine layout, all have different tuning maps.
Take the LS430 and GS430, both are the same engine, both make two different HP ratings, and both have different setups on transmissions.
