Not many second generation GS but heard of a lot of first gen SC. XX300 much more so than the XX400/430. Try here...

I'm assuming you want some serious power.

I have:

forged pistons/rods
lowered compression
fuel return system
custom exhaust manifold

I had SRT completely rebuild my engine & tranny to handle 500+ rwhp. They completely tore apart, cleaned, and rebuilt every part of my engine.



I have a true Twin Turbo V8 GS400, if you are wondering....

Here are some links to my pics, and comments on my setup.

I am positive I am the ONLY person that has had both a Supercharger Kit, and a Twin Turbo kit in the same V8 car. There is a difference between the two.

The 1st Lexus Twin Turbo V8 GS400

SRT Stage #1 Twin Turbo Specs/Dyno

Twin Turbo Stage 2

My Battles:

vs BMW 745i

Vs Turbo Supra

vs Undercover Police Officer

vs Japan Spec Turbo VR-4 Galant

Enjoy!

Lee
