Default R&R supercharger

How many members are running one of the R&R setups? Ive neen debating on doing this myself, i come from the 2JZ world so its tough to get excited about our HP numbers for the price.

Please post personal experiences with either of these kits.

Thanks, Jimmy

There used to be a member @RCFormante who had RR supercharger on his RCF. I believe, he still has hos RCF on Instagram, but does not come to this forum anymore. He has had it for 5 years now so he would be a good resource to ask about it.

Agreed, I never understood the whole air ride stuff. It does not look great when it is slammed and also adds a lot of weight. I am not sure how it affects the handling.

Hey Jimmy, I see this is an old post. I'm considering the same supercharger. Were you able to get in touch with RCFormante?
I'm interested in the opinions and considerations about the 2 Harmonic (Torque) options and the Tranny impact using the higher boost.
Did you get yours done?

I still haven't been in touch with him, however I've spoken with a few other owners as well as SC companies. Rafi would probably be the only one with enough boosted 2UR experience to ask about the transmission. Personally I've been wanting to do a roots style blower, but there is very little R&D data available. The R&R kit is the only extensively tested (raced) boost option availbe for our platform.

Plesse share your experiences if you come up with any additional data .

thanks, Jimmy

Hi everyone,

Please feel free to reach out with any questions - as far as owner feedback, I'd recommend checking out our Facebook group 'RR Racing Lexus Enthusiasts' as we have many active SC'ed RCF owners.

Thank you!
