If it is possible to pass smog with turbo then i will find out. No need to talk stuck-up like that.

haha, no one is sounding stuck up.

There's soooooooo many people in CA that are on boost, and i know for a FACT, that they can't pass without knowing the right people. LOL

Hey man if your so worried about smog nobody is putting a bullet to your head and saying you better by this kit, So dont buy it. First in formost we all want boost for the SC4 then we can worry about smog afterwards And nothing personal but you sound like a cop (nothing against all cops ) And if you want to be a law bidding citizen buy a new car from the factory with a turbo and you should be cool. Please dont come in to such a good thread and start ruining it. Later

Im sure you know by now that most of us that made comments were kidding...like Philly and some other said if you are not sure that it will pass the smog test then dont do it...it will save you a headache in the long run!

A Forced induction v8 is actually a step closer to a world class exotic powerplant.

600 hp Mercedes Mclaren SLR = supercharged V8

I love the 2jz-ge/gte and in all likelhood will have one of these in the sc that I buy (someday), but I can't deny the allure of a single or twin turbo V8 running 15 lbs, putting 480-500 to the tarmac...giving c6-zo6's, turbo 996's, vipers and sl600's fits.

This is a great thread, I check it like 2x a day.

Ahhhhh. nice project I remember how back in the day we had the supercharger threads..... and how $numbers$ kept flying around from non CL vendors... and how the threads would get locked..........






.........and i'd hate to see that happen again.

Trust me we are all waiting as patiently as possibly. Cant wait for more pics, dyno, and etc. And no one ask about a price until everything is done and if chrisman whats to be a vendor on Clublexus gets approval. I'd hate to get this thread closed.
