Sorry guys if there is much on this in the forum...I searched the forum and really did not come up with much. I am thinking of going with the Kenne Bell Boost a Spark. Does anyone have experience with it on the pre 99 1UZ? It looks pretty good, and I do not want to go through the issues of...

It dropped down to 9 volts, so I stopped running the car immediately. I have just received the Lextreme alternator in the mail. I will let you guys know the status as soon as I get it installed... Ryan

Correct. I will take pics of mine and post up installed in my car. Here are a couple of pics attached: I have not overheated once since I installed the SPAL's, I have driven the car in the heat of summer traffic with the AC on, and still steady. Glad the Zirgos are working for you... Ryan

Installed the rear mount STB from Scooter! Guys, the rear mount STB is is installed on my car. I did notice what seems to be more stability when driving it. I like it quite a bit, and I am happy I bought it. I believe it is worth buying and installing on the SC! Ryan

Addressing electrical issue before Darin tunes it again. I noticed a big power drop off in the electrical system. Making sure the battery is not an issue as it is an Optima, and they tend to die easily after a while and fail to hold a charge well. Also, I appear to have not enough alternator...

John, glad to hear you are going to do it. Looking forward to yet another FI Lexus on the streets! Ryan

Got rained out again yesterday:eek: We are trying again next week, but we will need to match our schedules and shoot for a sunny and dry day...I will be watching the forecasts... Ryan

John, That is absolutely awesome! Good work for Jeff! I would love to see his Sprags for the 4 speed....If he made them. Ryan

But it is still a Chevy, no matter how you slice it, "Not that there's anything wrong with that...;)". I would do it all again, with a UZ as long as the car is a Lexus. If the car was a Vette, then building the LS is the way to go for me... Ryan

Nah...Too rich to eat all that. Split it with my wife, perfect...:p Rasberries...LOL...And I ate all three...I love berries. RYan

Component Speakers (3-Way & 2-Way): This happens in July. More to come

Remember, the Dyno is scheduled for this Friday at 2pm. Wish me well... So, I lucked out as my wonderful wife, who is most frugal, decided she did not want me to buy her a brand new SUV, but she wants me to pay off her Forerunner, and mod it a little...Namely, the stereo system. She wants an...

That's for two! That's why the two spoons ;) Ryan

Well, to all in the USA, I hope you had a great Memorial Day weekend! It was great here, especially Friday and Saturday. My wife and I went down to Lido Beach in Sarasota, FL, and got a beach front room and just enjoyed the sun, the sand and the ocean (Gulf of Mexico). What a beautiful spot...

Progress Update Just want tp give all of you an update. As I mentioned recently, I needed to get the boost controller sorted out, along with the Innovate Air/Fuel gauge reading the mix coming from the wideband, fix the gated shifter auto shift lock issue, and button up the car. This is all...

Glad the forum is back up! I was getting withdrawl symptoms! Ryan

Gotta love E85...you can run a car so much higher without the worry you get from pump gas, plus not the cost of race gas. Just wish it was more readily available. Awesome set up! Ryan

1 piece Driveshaft for Auto 1UZ Hey gang, I searched for this, but did not find too much, so I am dredging up this old thread and asking what you all know out there for this? As most of you may know, my twin turbo project is finally on the road, and being tuned. I am concerned about how...

Update Hey gang, The boost has been adjusted on the wastegates. MInimum boost now set at 10 lbs. The Profec B is being removed, and boost will be controlled by the Autronic ECU, as it is a much better way to do...Anybody need a Profec B? :rolleyes:. I had to order the Serial Port connector...
