djspawn00 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 so you'd want to go from 300hp, spend more than a few grand... to go back to 300hp? I recall there being a company that sold built engines for 430's... they were pretty pricey but advertised some crazy HP numbers... if anyone remembers the manufacturer please refresh my memory with a link.

TRD911 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 there is a super charger kit for the GS400... It is pretty costly though.. I think there is an aftermarket supercharger that the accessory belt can turn... BP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ENJOY! http://jetsupercharger.com/t5.html heres a picture of my gs300 with jet's supercharger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevs98gs4 Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 You will need to do major internal work before boosting or supercharging a 430! When lexus went from the 400 to 430 they made the rods thinner thus able to work faster and thats how the upped the tourque from the 400. The problem is they will not with stand the boost! There is no supercharger kits outthere......unless you find a cherrished used one. the only way to do it is custom! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2whitelexus Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 each supercharger is made for each particular vehicle. each unit is assembled according to each vehicles specifications. rods are not the problem. the computer might be but dealer takes care of it for a couple of hundred bucks. on top of that theres people running supercharged 430s and there are tune shops selling kits for gs430s including jet technologies mentioned above.

sakataj Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 so you'd want to go from 300hp, spend more than a few grand... to go back to 300hp? I recall there being a company that sold built engines for 430's... they were pretty pricey but advertised some crazy HP numbers... if anyone remembers the manufacturer please refresh my memory with a link. the only reason im consdiering it is the aftermarket potential of the supra swap! i know i would be spending money to do the swap to have less power but with simple add ons u can easily abstract more power/potential! i did see a website awhile ago that would build u a custom twin turbo setup and fortify thwe motor but the price was like 42000 and im sorry thats wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy to much!

sakataj Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 ok to address the 1st question........the gs400 might not fit! the gs400 is a 4.0 liter and the gs430 is a 4.3 liter v8! so i might have to modify it! and the gs300 is a complete diffrent ball game that have some limited aftermarket support jet's website doesnt make a kit for the gs430 as far as i could see and thier website says it isnt set up yet every link u click on gives u a error 404 code!

sakataj Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 ok and back to my original ? any major concerns/problems on doing the swap on that chassis? i know its easily done on the 300 what about the 430? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3uzfte Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 It's the same car... The rods are a problem past about 8lbs of boost, do some research, the ecu can calculate up to about 7-8 lbs of boost, but the rod being that they are lighter to create better fuel economy with the increased piston size. The 4.0 and the 4.3 are the same exact size, the only difference is the bore size was increased, and the vvt-i was re-configured, that's about it... How every the UZ family engine is new to forced induction, so parts are not just laying on shelfs, but they are out there. Now if your serious about it, it can be done... If you choose to do a 2jzgte swap, your best bet is to find a GS300, and then do the swap, you would go broke trying to get everything together not knowing where to start, imho.
