robby Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Hello everyone.... I just bought a 2004 sc 430 and I was wondering if there were any superchargers available for it? I looked for a while but i wasn't really able to find anything that would work for the 2004? does anyone know? thanks, robby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jzz30 Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 yea blitz and toms. both very expensive and toms even more but with toms i read that in japan you can retain the factory warranty. so lets hope that that will be the same for here if it is available.

robby Posted July 19, 2004 Author Share Posted July 19, 2004 how much is really expensive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCF3 Posted July 19, 2004 Share Posted July 19, 2004 Last time I talked to the guys at TOM'S, their kit cost about $10,000 US. Blitz would be around $6-8k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jzz30 Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 like he said. ;) but if you had to chose wouldnt you want to spend the extra and get the toms if the factory warranty can still be retained?. the sc430 puts out about 260hp and with the toms super charger i think it was at 350-60 so thats 100hp gain which is significant. UCF: did you ask or did they mention that the factory warranty can be retained with the toms kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robby Posted July 21, 2004 Author Share Posted July 21, 2004 the website says it has 300 horse power. is that wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzz30 Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 i think 260 is to the wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobsvilla Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 I can't imagine any manufacturer honoring your warranty after you add a supercharger/turbo. All that extra horsepower the car was not initially designed for surely will shorten the parts life expectancy. I remember them cancelling warranties if you took your car out to the local drag strip. ...bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bean_8044 Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 If you get a TRD supercharger installed by toyota they have to honor it. Same with the Neon SRT-4 and the Cavalier and all their factory upgrades. Only problem is Lexus doesnt offer any of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
