First off I want to say there is "no such thing as a complete Kit". No matter what kit you buy you will have to add things to to get 400 whp. Trust me, I did a TON of research. I am running the Boostlogic kit and I love it. But you are right the boostlogic kit dose not include blow off valve, electronics, headgasket, bigger fuel injectors, or fuel pressure regulator. Plus for 400+ you will also have to remove the restrictive exhaust and rebuild the tranny.

my set up

T61 with a .58 at 16lbs boost = 416/420 whp - DAILY DRIVER
Boost logic kit
550 injectors
3mm headgasket
grady boost controller
SAFC II
HKS blowoff
custom exhaust
custom fuel pressure system
OBDII car - so I ran a supra tt MAF.
Duel eletric fans.
Rebuilt auto transmission with cooler.

Hope this helps and good luck.

what exactally would you need to add on to the dave h kit anyway? some sort of fuel control, like an afc? intercooler, a boost controller and what else? the tt maf? if theres anything else that one would need to get a basic kit going?

I am not sure what Daves kit comes with. So I can not really give a fair assestment of the BL vs Daves kit.

I do know that flow makes a big difference when you start going for more horse power. When I first put on the boostlogic kit, I was running the stock cat back exhaust and my number 6 header would glow red after a few pulls. Once I put the 3inch midpipe and a custom exhaust I picked up about 30whp, with no glowing manifold pipe.

I am in the process of tunning with new cam gears and with more tuning to go. I just put down 450whp at 17lbs boost on a t61 - 93 oct. Is this because the exhaust manifold flows well? Could be but I wouldn't say that it hurts you either.

TT Maf will work on a OBD II car, you will want a lexus LS400 Maf for a OBDI car.

the only thing i dont like about the BL kit is the fact that it doesnt come with injectors,electronics, or a BOV
but it is a very high quality kit. also does SP have a website ?????

kits usually do not come with electronics.

bl sells injectors if you want.

Default Just found you forum!

Didn't mean to jack the thread, but didn't want to start a new one with the same question . I have a 93 SC300 5-speed & was going to ask the same question. You guys seem to have a lot of experience with these cars that is very insightful. I am looking at the Boost Logic kit, what electronics do you recommend for a street driven, basic kit? Thanks.
