I have been doing a lot of reading on this and found it pretty interesting. The biggest downside of the centrifugal design? Not enough mid range and low end torque! What I have found is that you can have your cake and eat it too (with very little repercussions).. here's how it works in 2 easy...

Welcome Ron, 1. I had a set of JIC coilovers on my 1991 LS400 and they were top shelf. Not cheap, but very high performance (roughly $2000). With coilovers on an LS, 120+mph lane changes are very flat and stable. There are plenty of coilovers available for the LS: (Megan, JIC, stance, D2...

FIGS Engineering spherical caster arms. Tom's rear six link kit: So far I have all the supporting mods that I was shooting for (except LSD which is coming). The rest of the to do list: 1. Fab some cleaner blower spacers out of aluminum. 2. Install the rest of the intercooler...

Procharger P1 mocked up. Very tight fit. Will need to ditch the OEM fans for some low profile SPAL's and the rad will need to slide over 1-2". Intake for the blower is VERY VERY tight. Either I run a filter or screen directly at the blower inlet, or a use some neoprene flexible ducting down...

Fish bracket installed. This is the 3rd Lexus that has seen this setup (GS, LS and SC). Notice the huge ECU loom? Yeah the ECU is exactly where the charger sits so relocation was a PITA. Solid steering rack mounts (modified battle version SC mounts). The pride of my exhaust: The Burns...

Its been a while but I have made some progress. Intercooler is installed, fish bracket installed, ECU relocated to the fender side frame rail, suspension fully build (minus LSD), exhaust completed, supra TT brakes swapped, steering stiffened. Intercooler installed, very hard to notice...

Sorry for for the major lag. The car has been stripped and sold to ecology. All I have at this time is a seibon TS-II carbon fiber vented hood (perfect condition... used 1 month).

Im a Technical Service Engineer at Ford Motors. Been here 8 months and really not into the cubicle lifestyle lol. Getting ready to start a web based business very similar to luxurymods.com or L-Tuned.com

I can vouch that the ucf11 and up rear caliper is larger than the ucf10. Its still a single piston but its a larger diameter piston. Overall caliper size is larger as well. As Hammered's spec sheet shows, the rear rotor diameter is larger as well. Not technically a big brake upgrade but an...

Hey bjohn, I am getting ready to do mine as well and have the same Q's. I have done several t-belts on 1991-1997 MY's and its much more forgiving due to the engine being non interference. Im curious to know if there are any special timing tools to lock the cams or crank in place? Im a bit...

Spinetti, Why not run 98 LS400 calipers + rotors all around with a good ceramic pad? They would hold up to the abuse leagues better the OE. I ran the 98's all aroung at one point. Ended up swapping supra brakes in the front later on and this was also on a 1991. The 98 (and 95 i believe) has a...

sorry for the bad news but i ended up selling my LS400 and my built 4.7L a few months back because I had to move to Detroit for a new job working for Ford. I parted out my SC and LS, sold the 4.7L and ended up buying Lex's white GS400. My life has been extremely busy for the last year and a half...

Thanks for the clarification. Every time I see a 2J P/S pulley they seem almost identical but of course, the eye can be deceiving.

I am 95% sure that the unorthadox brand pulleys for the 2JZ (alternator, fan and power steering) will swap onto the 1UZ. Every now and then I see them being sold individually on ebay for like $100. The crank damper will not work but the others should.

Sorry for the late replies. Headers, exhaust and adaptronic have been sold. I still have the Seibon hood, Corbeau seates/sliders, OMP 4-point harness and harness bar available. jblack1018: I have the hood still available for local pickup in Murrieta CA, 92562. Let me know if you are still...

Zombie proof! This puts all SUV's to shame haha. Not much use trying to be fuel efficient with a large SUV type vehicle anyway... awesome dude!

I think its possible but I am hesitent to start cutting until I have proof that it will fit. I would pay cash money for a picture of this installed and routed but it seems as though I am on my own with this one :rolleyes:. The loom has some slack in it, but I really need to man up and take the...

Hey fellas, its been quite a while since I last contributed to the forum. The last year+ I spent finishing up my last 2 semesters in college, started my job hunt and its been extremely stressful and busy. I ended up selling my supercharged SC400 and my project LS470 a while back so I could...

ihiryu, I can ship the seats I suppose but the standard shipping will add up. I have a pair of tires im having a freind drop off to Davids house so I can also have the seats dropepd off and have him ship them. I need to ask him first and if its ok, I may be able to score a shipping rate thats...

Hey guys, sorry for the late reply. I just finished driving 4.5 days from southern CA to michigan for my new job. U haul + car carrier for 2300 miles was agonizing! Also, i never really understood why my pm setting is permanently set to off? I have tried to turn it on in the past and it never...
