Lightbulb SRT TWIN TURBO's IS,GS,SC YES U DAMN RIGHT! Now I'm gonna be broke...

Hello all. Guess what? Jus talked with Mo at SRT to set up date to install my PI-TC,Hayden 677 Trannycooler,TRD-LSD,&SRT Intake RACE ECU. TUE. the day. Well I'm letting the secret out.
I 'mon the phone talking to him about Stage 4 maybe stage 5.
He says that when I visit him he is ready to launch some serious stuff.:eek: YES that stuff he's been holding back fresh from the R&D. ((TWIN TURBO for GS4's )):eek:

That's right TWIN turbo for the V-8 baby. Oh my GOD!!
He's gonna rock the Lexus scene with this news. Well anyway he says that the supercharger is awesome cus he's got Stage 5.
He's says that TURBO is the answer to our prays. Were talking about serious quantities of power. Oh yeah & plenty of $ to buy Well when I return from SRT, I'll give ya a update.

Do you know what type of numbers they're expecting with the new twin kit? Sounds very interesting. Thanks, Mike D.

you get that much power and cost around the stage 4, so i'm guessing a twin turbo V8 will be well clear over $15k and oodles of power. SRT's stuff is getting intense!

I know I'm expecting 530+RWHP(700Hp+) RELIABLY. I will have everything ranging from a rebuilt tranny to pistons, but no connecting rods. After I upgrade the connecting rods, we should see 630RWHP+ figures (800Hp+). Wonder how Mo's tranny will stand up to my abuse. I still have to talk to Mo about my injector size and the compression drop on the engine.

I seen your ride in Moe's shop....very sweet looking GS.

I also know about the TT for the GS400 for about 2 months but had to swear to moe I wouldn't say anything about it to you guys until he says it was ok So I guess its ok. My TT setup should be on by X-mas

So Mariusz, does this mean that you're Mo's test Mule ? How long has Mo had your car, and are there any rough estimates pricewise for the TT setup?

I don't want to post no figures but I can tell you this much.....if you are driving a GS4xx than you can afford the TT setup. Unless your married Wife just wouldn't understand

Actually, my car is Moe's test vehicle. It has been used for R&D for over 3 months (I knew about the SRT TT before all you guys! LOL).

So I will have the 1st SRT TWIN TURBO GS400!

Anyway, my engine was completed torn apart, and checked for any pre-exisiting damage. I have upgraded forged pistons, bigger injectors, upgrade SRT fuel ECU, SRT custom manifords, oil cooler, tranny cooler, the whole nine yards. Basically I have a new engine, with the upgrades. Remember I was at a stage 2.5 supercharger, and already had the upgrades listed in my sig. They have really put the time into this! Believe me! I have PATIENTLY been waiting, but this was something that had to be done over time. I'll have to baby her in the beginning, but as soon as my break-in period is over, I have some money I need to collect from my races!

Default right on!!!

If you think supras are pushing 900 at the wheels with a lot of r&d Just think what a 4.0 v8 will do.......Lots more power and reliable wothout the headaches of a supercharger. I AM SO JACKED!!!! This is the ultimate Streetfighter....Gs,Sc, and even the fat ls400 will be amazing..... I will have this done......now which car??? HaHa anyways maybe a tansplant into a supra.....nah Gs400TT with 800 hp is good enough for me. Here comes all the apexi engine management and boost controllers just like in Japan for the v300 only bigger and better. For once the US is the first to the unbelievable.......go Mo and SRT. You are really going to get some biz....now if the price was really nice........
