RobDD Posted April 29, 2003 Posted April 29, 2003 I was curious if anyone has installed either the RMM or SRT supercharger to their GS400. Any comments or concerns are appreciated. -Robert

Any comments or concerns are appreciated.-Robert You might want to try and contact "superchargedmorph" He is on the UK side of the this club. He has a GS400 with the RMM supercharger. Maybe he could help you out.

gslx4s Posted May 9, 2003 Posted May 9, 2003 I was curious if anyone has installed either the RMM or SRT supercharger to their GS400. Any comments or concerns are appreciated.-Robert Man, i can not find anyone in my indusrty that has a RMM kit. I have looked and found nothing. Have you called them to get any infor.?
MrSypher Posted May 9, 2003 Posted May 9, 2003 I know a couple of guys with the RMM SC.. And from what they both told me it's not worth it... They say that the gains aren't what they should be and it's a waste of money...
lexo Posted May 10, 2003 Posted May 10, 2003 DO IT ! man I have the SRT Turbo on my GS300! The SRT kit will not come with all the goodies you need to have it running smooth. I noticed SRT does not come with any fine tuning equip like fuel management and boost controll. You will need to have those to have the care tuned for normal driving. SRT's super charger has been out for a while and is a little more complete as a kit. I do admire the RMM kit and is a smooth kit! Ask Around, do your research......it's a big step. My SRT is on and smokes! I did some fine tuning and I am happy with the Turbo...... LEXO
lexo Posted May 10, 2003 Posted May 10, 2003 Sorry for a repeat.....The gains are not as much as the turbos, and RMM has it in mind to add a little not a lot, and may not be worth your cash if you are looking for great gains! But the RMM kit is nice and easy to work with......So I hear! :P
MrSypher Posted May 11, 2003 Posted May 11, 2003 Just so you know... SRT doesn't produce SuperChargers anymore.. Lexo, what do you mean when you say "SRT does not come with goodies"?? From what I know you pay for what you get.. Like if you only want to stage 2 turbo, that's what your gonna get.. You'll get everything the kit has to offer and will be fully functional when installed.. But if you want the goodies they have them but it's gonna cost you.. And also you have to know what you want.. oh, one more thing... Which stage did you go with and can you snap some pics for us to see.. Thanks and goodluck with your turbo my friend..
silkoccy Posted May 11, 2003 Posted May 11, 2003 I also wanted to add either an ecu upgrade or supercharger on my GS , but does anyone know if this will void the manufacturer warranty?
MrSypher Posted May 11, 2003 Posted May 11, 2003 I also wanted to add either an ecu upgrade or supercharger on my GS , but does anyone know if this will void the manufacturer warranty? Oh boy will it... As soon as they see that, the red flag goes up and your warranty is through.. The ECU you can probably get away with because it's just cutting some wires and sodering in others and you can cover it but the Turbo or SC you really can't hide... Another thing, can you explain what you mean by when you say you want to add a ECU upgrade? Because usually when you do engine modifications you have to modify your ECU too...
silkoccy Posted May 11, 2003 Posted May 11, 2003 What I was refering to was the hi-fi ecu upgrade by SRT. Here is the link to what i was refering to, let me know if this will void the warranty. http://www.swiftracing.com/vehicles/lexus/...s/intake300.htm
MrSypher Posted May 11, 2003 Posted May 11, 2003 I gotcha... That's a SRT Intake and it also comes with a piggy-back ECU upgraded for the air/fuel mixture... The intake alone won't void anything but the ECU will...
silkoccy Posted May 11, 2003 Posted May 11, 2003 Any suggestion to how I may upgrade the peformance of my gs without voiding the warranty
MrSypher Posted May 11, 2003 Posted May 11, 2003 Which GS do you have, and what year is it?? This kid I know ordered one I was gonna install it for him but it's the wrong one.. So he's selling it... It comes with the Intake, Piggy-Back Race ECU, and heat shield..
silkoccy Posted May 11, 2003 Posted May 11, 2003 I have a 2000 gs 300 as you eluded in your previous e-mail the ecu will void the warranty and not the intake, if this kid is selling a kit with an piggy back ecu like the afformentioned SRT intake kit then we are back to square one, right?
lexo Posted May 12, 2003 Posted May 12, 2003 I did pay for some of the goodies....It is a great kit. The guy who did the install orig was a bozo! I took it to the dyno, added the super AFC, new plugs and the thing came alive! The dude may have stole some parts? :( The new shop did a great job, and I am pleased! It is the stage 2. I wasnt aware the super chargers are not being built anymore by SRT....I do want to post some shots but, I havnt found how to do that! I guess I better get to reading eh! Thanks man....
chaskim Posted May 17, 2003 Posted May 17, 2003 Lexo, How much was the increase in HP with the SRT Stage 2 turbo? I have a 2001 GS300 and I'm looking for a little more power . I've thought about trading in my 300 for a 2000 GS400 (e shift baby, :snoooorrrtttt: last year on the V8) but a turbo sounds kool too. B) chaskim
Matthew_McNally Posted May 17, 2003 Posted May 17, 2003 I do want to post some shots but, I havnt found how to do that! I guess I better get to reading eh! Thanks man.... lexo stick your pictures in the Gallery buddy! just hit "upload photos" - and you then browse the files off your computers disk. you can link them into posts on here then we want to see your kit.
MrSypher Posted May 17, 2003 Posted May 17, 2003 Yes I'm another one that wants to see your turbo too.. If you can't figure out how to upload your pics in the gallery you can Email them to me and I'll post them up for you.. jacer39@aol.com
gslx4s Posted May 18, 2003 Posted May 18, 2003 I have just read the new issue of Super Street. Guess what, there is an article with a JDM spec SC430 with a Blitz twin super charger. I can not wait unitl this hit the US market.
