Thanks John I had "seen" pics of the car somewhere before but couldn't recall what it was... A YAMAHA no less!!! :cool:

At $47,000 a bunch of the regulars are going to get nervous. Not a fan of the name badging though

Very interesting development

Quite an assortment. What was the white car that looks kind of like a front engined Ferrari?

1000+hp is expensive. How much do you expect to spend? Tranmission?

The beauty of simplicity. Larry Widmer engine. Bottle supercharging. Tenacity.

Ah... shall we delve deeper? What we know as a "screw" and a "bolt" are actually complex objects utilizing a "simple" machine. Starting with an incline plane (very simple) both wrap or spiral this inclined plane around a round "rod" to create "threads" . So, what we commonly call...

Ryan knows much of the following but for thread reader clarification: The stock parts are designed to funnel air from the high pressure areas in front and below the front bumper, channel this pressurized air to the A/C and radiator cores and then have a relatively lower pressure area for the...

Welcome to Lextreme. I don't know your background or experience but obviously you are enthusiastic about your Lexus and HOPE to make a powerful car out of it. I HATE to let you down but your goals are not obtainable for your budget. Lexus did not design the needed strength in the engine...

Actually it depends on the execution and the available space. With a relatively low blower drive there is less space restriction at the engine front where hood clearance is tightest. Using JUST the blower itself and integrate with a heavily modified lower intake (VVTi like shown) twin...

Great advice! :cool:;)

Watched Vic Edelbrock Jr. describing the Corvette version and he mentions the long runners. I have always liked the idea of having some runner length but it does seem to have minimal impact even on low speed boosted power. That said... he brings up a good thought... at lower speeds the...

Cool... or should I say "hot" pic from Magnusen's site (Eaton aftermarket) Like to see REAL testing complete with factory manifolds, catalysts and exhaust pipe.

Edelbrock's line of supercharger systems for the 2005-2010 Ford Mustang GT 3 valve engine (as well as Corvette, Camaro and Chrysler Hemi apps)... MAY have a chance of being adaptable to the Lexus V8's. Based on the excellent new Eaton high efficiency TVS supercharger, Edelbrock uses the...

The 4.3 engines have terrible stock manifolds. Here is a comparison with the no longer available S&S headers.

First things first... ignition and fuel. Have the coils been tested and spark confirmed?

Actually VVTi stands for Variable Valve Timing with intelligence. Since this is predominantly a 1(2,3)UZ-FE forum you are likely referring to the 1998-2006 V8 engines which advances or retards the intake cam based on operating parameters. It is not an on/off feature and the positioning is...

In revisiting the pic that Steve posted of Ryan's engine bay the feed and return radiator hoses pass right over and even wrap somewhat around the exhaust downpipe from the drivers side turbo. I would look very closely at finding another route for the hoses. Turbine housings, manifolds and...

I was going to suggest adding an auxillary radiator like XR8tt has. Cores come in countless sizes and shapes. One could be fit in a number of ways. My next thought was a pusher fan mounted parallel to the road with a flap that would push UP and seal to a fabricated duct. The main duct...

In the past, to the dismay of some on here... I have made the case for the LSx series as hard to beat and not as old school as cam-in-block may suggest. That said for 300rwhp the only problem with your goal is the transmission. Stateside an early (1990-1994) 1UZ with the standard 4 speed...
