sakataj replied to CRUNCHINMUNCH's topic in 93 - 05 Lexus GS300 / GS400 / GS430
yeah they not cheap lgs300 my driver side starting to go...........i think this acution might be over but email they guy and see if he still has them and wants to make a deal or something! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...224580&rd=1 or try sewell lexus's webpage they normally hook us up! -
the real ? alex is he just wanting it to keep tabs on his wife or the cars.......cause who puts a gps tracker on a 2004 honda accord? wouldnt think the cost/benefits would be worth it! insurance is cheap and will replace that one easily!

sakataj replied to sakataj's topic in 93 - 05 Lexus GS300 / GS400 / GS430
it doesn't seem to be to many people active on this forum that offer any advice when you actually want some and not just a opinion u know? i need some help here and outta how many members we have im sure not getting all the help i need/want! dcfish,2whitelexus,GuyTelefunken,any1 ...........where u at? im looking for some of you older fellows to guide me here.........WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO MAKE SURE I COVER IN THE 90K MAINTENANCE THAT I DIDN'T COVER IN THE 1ST POST? -
just doing a little more of my own homework and i didnt know until yesterday that rod millen motorsports used to make a supercharger for the gs400........only 25 were ever made according to them as i contacted the new company (it got passed down to one of the sons) they said it wouldnt bolt straight to a gs430 but could be adapted! anyways......with them only making 25 odds of finding one real rare! but someone told me trd makes one and i cant find ANY info on it..........anyone know anything about it?

ok spent about 30 mins on the phone talking with adam at jet technologies 1-323-683-8027 about a supercharger for the gs430! there is FINALLY a forced induction option avaliable for the gs430! its a centrifugal supercharger said it comes with a 8 psi pulley (said a 10 might be standard when it goes into full production) he said its making mid 400 hp (so think like 440-475 hp) anyways he said the msrp is $3000.00 and when they go into production (they are still out about 3 to 3 1/2 weeks on shipping he said) said it may go higher in price when they go into full production but he said anyones welcome to pre-order one for the 3000 which i'll tell u is a hell of a deal for mid 400 hp! (2whitelexus actually owns a jet supercharger for his gs300 so he might be able to answer some ?'s about ease of installation/reliability/etc....hope u dont mind the emails that might start coming at u 2whitelexus) anyways...........he did say NO piggyback unit/extra fuel injectors/intercooler will be added to the kit BUT he did say the plumbing for the intercooler should be VERY STRAIGHT FORWARD.......as far as the injectors and the piggyback i dunno what will have to be done! im gonna email 2whitelexus and ask him what he did and also talk to my personal mechanic and see what he thinks/suggests! OH I ALSO ASKED WHEN THEY GO INTO FULL PRODUCTION IF WE COULD SET UP A GROUP BUY IF THATS POSSIBLE AND HE SAID WHEN THEY GO INTO FULL PRODUCTION WE CAN WORK SOMETHING OUT SO START ASKING YOUR MODERATORS AND WE'LL SEE WHAT WE CAN GET DONE AS A GROUP!hope this helps someone atleast besides me........im incredibly (sp) stoked about the possibility of getting a forced induction motor even though i wanted to turbocharge i think i will settle for a supercharger! hopefully i can find the money and do this!

Jet Supercharger For Gs430
sakataj replied to sakataj's topic in 93 - 05 Lexus GS300 / GS400 / GS430
i havent since that one day.......like i said give adam a call and find out...... im sure like myself alot of people pipe dreaming about this so who knows how many will need/use it but if one does then im glad! my goal is to do it since i scrapped my audio build now! -
u have the remote shell or the regular shell on this key? i think sewell lexus sells just the shell and you can buy a shell on ebay for cheap........might have to but a shell with the uncut key and remove the uncut key! i dunno how the transponder works or if your car has one but i would assume that should be ok!
