Fasteddie: I will be using the standard intake and plenum for now, with some small mods. I have cleaned up the interior of the plenum by filling the holes, crators, and passages with epoxy and grinding and sanding it all smooth. I have also gone to a slightly larger throttle body by welding...

There are strange things happping with your web provider: not only are all my posted photos missing, there is actually a photo (an exhaust system drawing) in one of my posts that I didn't put there. My race car will not have a muffler! This is meant as feedback, not a complaint. Technology is...

Zuffen, Thanks. Yes, I have a steel tube back brace from the outside edge of the supercharger bracket back to the cylinder head, but I didn't get a photo of it. Flex will be a possibility, but I am going to put as many triangulated gussets in and around as possible, and double up the forged...

Thanks for your concern. You are right. I should have given more info. Yes, I will have an adjustable idler (tensioner) pulley mounted on the outside of the belt near the supercharger (this also provides more "contact patch" between belt and pulley). I have the smallest pulley Vortec makes...

Zuffen, Thanks for the reply. I appreciate it. I also really enjoy this site, the feedback I have received has been very helpful. Thank you for taking the time and effort on all our behalf. Dr. Jeff Harper Harper Racing Bangkok

I notice that under the new web management the photos I posted have been removed. Oh well. Here is a link to my Racing Projects Blog where you can read about new progress on my supercharged 1UZ drag truck. http://drjeffbangkok.squarespace.com/racing-projects-blog/ And a photo (maybe) of (1)...

Some recent progress:

I have been away from the shop for two weeks (in The States for a conference). In the meantime, my guys fabricated a mock-up of the Vortec V-9 supercharger brackets in aluminum and cardboard . . . to be transferred to steel once we are sure it all aligns. I may or may not want to brace the...

I am at a purchase point for injectors for my supercharged 1UZ race car project ( http://drjeffbangkok.squarespace.com/racing-projects-blog/ ). I have been all over the Web like flies on roast beef . . . . and there is a lot of "information" out there on this topic. I am looking for a "drop in...

I need an answer quick: I have been told that the Subaru "pink" "565cc" injector is a drop in replacement n the 1UZ. True?

Thanks for the upgrade on the site server. Here are some pics of the current state of my 1UZ implant into my race truck. I modified the standard oil filter flange to accept -10 fittings (smoothed the inside too). Lots of photos and notes on my Racing Projects Blog...

Yeah . . . . . you know . . . there is vibration . . . . the pick-up is trying to suck the pipe to the bottom of the pan . . . oil is thick . . . . and maybe I worked too long on a le Mans prototype class team where everything is built to last 24 hours at WOT!

More progress on the fabricated oil pan with photos - follow the thread over on the Forced Induction Projects forum of this site.

More work completed. Oil pan baffles with dip stick calibration and new braced oil pick-up tube fabricated, Brian Crower valve springs installed, aluminum firewall polished, and engine bay cleaned, sanded and detailed.

I spent yesterday down on the floor in the shop fitting the 1UZ V-8 into the Familia race truck chassis. A lot of time and care was taken to phase the drive line: after leveling the racer in all planes, a line was drawn on the floor that exactly passed through the centerline of the rear axle...
