    Debating Turbocharging?

    Thanks XR8tt thats clears up the operation of the two styles a little better. As you mentioned this is probably a somewhat biased research. There has to be some kind of truth to it. Are there any screw type superchargers that will fit the 1uzfe?

    Debating Turbocharging?

    Exactly. The screw type compresses the air in between the veins of the screws. the roots i believe, as in this may not be correct, takes a chunk of air and transfers it to the other side of the supercharge case. the rotation of the rotors transfers enough air to where it compresses it so that...

    Debating Turbocharging?

    Thanks. I thought that I had read somwhere that they were roots, but i guess is must have been some other supercharger. Yeah. this car is amazing! I love it! I am nothing but impressed with this car. Its engineering is unparalleled. I have never heard of a sturdier car either. Except for...

    Debating Turbocharging?

    Debating Turbocharging?

    That Water/methanol setup sounds like it could be a little difficult, maybe not too bad, but somewhat of a hassle. Does it use the water/methanol mixture as much as it does the gasoline your run through your engine? Where exactly does the mixture get injected? Does this affect the amount of...

    Debating Turbocharging?

    Thanks for the input. What kind of Superchargers will fit the 1UZ? I guess that all depends on the manifold that you get. What kind of supercharger do you have on your 1uz? I haven't looked too much into superchargin, so what would be an estimated cost of supercharging rather than turbo? I...

    Debating Turbocharging?

    I recently drove my friends Acura Integra that was turboed I I think that I may have got bitten by the bug. I loved it. I am now itching to do this to my sc400.

    Manual Conversion (SC400)

    Hey fellow lexus owner I recently bought a 92 SC400 and my biggest gripe is the lack of a manual option. Eventually I plan on doing a similar conversion. I have heard that it can be done w/ a w58 or v160. This is a very interesting thread and I have yet to read it all. Thanks for the info guys.
