Default LMS GS430 S/C update

Here are some pictures of the LMS setup. I will get my car back on friday. I can not wait to drive this thing!!!!!!! I know the intercooler looks small, but with my explosion front bumper, it will be getting cool air all the time, and it fits soooooo perfect.

I think Johnny wanted to know if it is driven by the crank or the serpentine belt.
Right johnny?

now this is a great looking design.. very clean uncluttered .. i like where the blower is mounted , no moving of the power steering res, i like the intercooler and how the piping is done,i really like where the air intake is located , so far much better thought out design than rmm


i cant tell from the pics , but as asked , whats driving the blower , is it one belt running everything , is it a dual pulley system off the crank or what and what brand of blower are they using vortec or procharger


can you give us a shot of that part of the system




luxury motor , if you are reading this , all i can say is great work , now when are you going to do this for the 400 . can the bracket for the 430 be used for the 400 and if not would you be willing to fabricate the bracket for some of us and sell us the bracket and we do the rest

I LIKE IT A LOT!

Also, can we get LMS to come in here and let us know that a GS400 S/C is or will be in the works in the very near future.
