Ah, Duh... don't know how I missed that...

I just though NoS would be easier, cheaper, and less trouble.

Does anyone know where I can "Charge" here locally for a reasonable price that is reputable and has experience doing it with the GS?

Seems like it is easier to find someone who could Nos and tune than charge and tune. However, I am new to the GS so I am not familiar with who in town can get the job done short of driving over to Toyomoto and spending $$$$$

I am equally open to supercharging or turbocharging but the last I heard RMM is one of the only places where a supercharger can be had for the GS and they are out... Selling at $4500 I am not surprised.

lol i just put an engine in a LS 430, kinda the same v8 and i was just wondering what you were looking for?

[n2ocamry]

its funny how you didnt catch n2o in n2ocamry

lol

thats funny

if you beef up the fuel sytem moderately
do some tranny work
allow more air flow and exhaust flow
and dont have an itchy trigger finger

nos will get you by until you have money for other upgrades-thats what i did

just remember

"the more you spray, the more you pay"

[CinfulxGS400]

I think I am going to hold off for FI

[LEXUSTEK]

ill agree with the you spray you pay deal . lol i see so many retards that dont know what there doing and blow up there car with that shit and believe me watching a guy blow up his gs or is and then watching his face with the service manager tells him its not covered under warranty ......man o man is that shit priceless. working at a dealership you get so see that kinda stuff

Swift Racing (http://www.swiftracing.com) has some info on things they offer. You might try Club Lexus (http://www.clublexus.com) as well. This is another good one on Lextreme (http://www.lextreme.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=17)
Supercharging would definitly be easier and less costly than turbocharging. But the bottle is definetly the way to go if you have little mechanical ability and less funds.;)

[LEXUSTEK]

lextacy.com is another good site for cool shit also, alot of our customers shop there

[CinfulxGS400]

Yeah, I have been to both. I am a member at www.clublexus.com so I have read up on just about every possibility for FI.

LEXUSTEK, have you or any of the other TEK's installed a turbo kit or supercharger kit on a GS400 or the 1UZ-FE? I guess the 430 Engine wouldn't be too different...

Have you had any customers come in that are Supercharged or Turbocharged with the V8?

[LEXUSTEK]

no all of our customers are old. lol but i know it wouldnt be that bad. ....keep me posted id like to be involved in that.

[LEXUSTEK]

[CinfulxGS400]
