is350 Supercharged
Well I seem to have happened to come across a 2006 is350 that has a LMS supercharger on it. I just bought the vehicle and am working on getting it back to top shape. I am having a problem with finding the right belt size for it. Some of you with the supercharger have posted some nice pics for me to go off of. I found one picture that had the LMS kit and I tried the belt that was listed Gates Micro-V k060295....but it was too long so I am trying the next step down......k060288. I won't get that for a day so two....but any advise on the system itself would be helpful.....or if anyone can help me with the right belt size.....Thanks a ton

Thanks......I am thinking I need something around 28-29 inches on the inside....I was beating my head agaist the wall when I first got the car. I called LMS and they were not much help at all. It made more sense when I saw how the belt was supposed to go on when searching this forum. I ordered the oil for the supercharger from Procharger. I believe it takes 2.5oz and is changed every 6,000 miles.....correct me if I am wrong.

thanks for the help so far. I will put up some pics when it is done. I feel kind of bad about the car. I did some research on here when I first got it and some on this site once owned it. They haven't posted in a year though. I have to put back the whole interior inside the car. It was stripped for weight reasons by the previous owner. Finding all the seats and panels was a pain in the ***...but I think it will look good once I get done. BTW....I will have 2 Sparco racing seats for sale in a day or so.....they were in the car but I put factory seats back in.

did you replace ECU or modify the software in it, or the supercharger was just installed like 'plug and play'? If it was PnP then I'd rather worry how soon the engine will die

Um, the motor can handle the 5lbs of boost. The ECU is intelligent enough to know how much fuel to compensate for the blower. Trust me I know 
I've had it for almost 15k now and my motor has almost 65k and there does not seem like anything is wrong or has changed, as in getting bad.
