    Project Thread Vortech on a tired 1UZ-FE

    check the maf sensor. Its usually a 50/50 shot wether or not the maf will take well to boost. Mine went out shorty adding my blower. Simpy unplugging the maf brought it back to normal. Im planning to a MAP conversion in the near future. Also if there is any trace of blower oil inside the boost...

    Project Thread Project SC400TT

    dang, thats some serious draw! My two 14" haydens pull about 20amps combined. Of course I bought mine from Kragen so im sure thos Spal's will move a lot more air. Good insurance..

    sc400 X-pipe and stock mufflers

    The video sound quality is garbage. Thats the downside of youtube... usually some kid with a 2MP camera recording loud exhaust clips. A sign of a good sound vid wil be high resolution for the vid. Also, the tanabe mufflers will be a bit quiter than a true canister but not by much. In the vid he...

    sc400 X-pipe and stock mufflers

    Im in the process of moving out of my apartment and moving back to CA so if I record something it will have to wait a little bit. Best bet is to try youtube and search for straight pipe sound clips. If your still undecided when im back home, i'll try and record something for ya. There was a...

    Extreme Simulation

    Thats gotta be featured in an episode of "Lifestyles of the rich and shameless". Very cool though. Grand turismo in 1080P would be a blast with that setup.

    sc400 X-pipe and stock mufflers

    It should sound clean without mufflers as long as you incorporate a good X pipe. I have never actually measured the dB levels but you'll be gaining quite a bit. I have long tube tri-Y headers, x pipe and 2 straight through tanabe canisters and its mellow at idle but WOT sounds like an absolute...

    sc400 X-pipe and stock mufflers

    Plenty of gains to be had with a 2.25". If you decide to straight pipe it, I would strongly advise using an X-pipe. It cancels out the raspiness your talking about and also produces more power under the curve. A lot of people think that because the UZ is a v8, it should ave a massive dual 2.5"...

    Trade Trade 93 1UZ for VVTi 2UZ

    Not trying to be sarcastic... just stating the facts. From the list of individual parts above, is the engine together or in pieces? You can try sending Lextreme an e-mail. Sometimes he has extra components that he needs to sell or get rid of. I know a few months back he had a complete vvti UZ...

    The case for Asymetrical Turbocharging

    Hey john, im fairly familiar with the underside of the LS and I know that underneath the rear seats (under the car) has a large gap on either side thats covered up by a splash guard. Im 90% sure a decent sized turbo would fit. of course, adding a charge pipe back to the throttle body might be a...

    Lextreme stage I and II cams come with lash caps that are added beween the valve tip and bucket. I know lex has dyno plots before/after with these cams and the numbers are respectible.
