Bill, :beerchug: You deserve a big smile after what you have gone through, congratulations. And I am still waiting for you to call in and show me the car :rant: Enjoy and keep us updated, Kevin

Firstly, I dont claim to know very much about water/meth injection. But I have read that the water can have a negative effect in relation to making the motor deteriate quicker. That being the moist conditions can cause rusting to components. I know that you are going to say that the 1UZ is...

Duza - Do you still have the shell of the half cut. If so, I might just have to come up there and help you take it to the tip - NOT. Also, are you going to be using the origianl air filter box. I need the cover that clips on after placing the air filter inside (Not the cover that hides the...

See if this attached site helps you decide. Its from an Australian site over here with a V6 supercharged commodore, running M90. I know its about water injection and not fuel prior to supercharger, but I think you may get the simlar results when the rotors are hit by droplets of fuel...

Thats one sexy pulley and I love the idea of being able to change the pulley (outer) with ease. As to what 'quadcam boat' said, does anyone have a photo of the intercooler that fits inside the manifolds. Cheers, Kevin

Hi I'm after the factory radio out of an LS400 (Not a Celsior) from an Australian vehicle. I know its a big ask, but I have to try. Cheers, Kevin

Also Matt, Once you braced up the manifold, how did you cut through it. Hacksaw by hand ??????? Kev

Well, my thoughts are "Bloody good job" well done. You didn't happen to make templates of the individual parts did you? Could be a market for them :ponder: Cheers, Kevin

Far out. I know the New Zealand guys are putting 1UZ into the hiace etc, but I never new they were a factory fit. The sound would get a lot of looks, thats for sure.

Choke on the smoke - please reveal more details. I would love to get that out of my LS400. I also have just received my M90 supercharger and was going to get all the parts asap. I would have been happy with those LS400 result with a supercharger on it, and you got in n/a. What's the...

Hey guys, check out this link. Not sure if its been up on this site before or not, but you can keep your standard fuel pump and dont need a new regulator and it will still increase fuel pressure under load. http://www.kennebell.net/accessories/boostapump/boostapump.htm

Is there any reason why the stored boost in the manifold when backing off the throttle, could not be exhausted to the atmosphere like on turbo cars. I understand regulations may put a stop to it, but is there a mechanical type reason why it could not be done. Kev

FYI - The link that MightyAl mentioned does not do the 1UZ S/C kits any more. I rang them a couple of months ago and they stated it was an old advert and they needed to remove it. But you never know your luck, maybe they have started up again. Lextreme - How much does the inlet manifold of...

m90 If its to go on a Soarer or a Celsior, I dont beleive that one is any good for you due to the inlet section of the body. You need a M90 off the Ford Thunderbird and I to have bought one from the states and paid AU$160 plus shipping. Kev

Is it possible to turn off the knock sensors. I connected a scan tool today to my Celsior and I think it reads that the knock sensors are off (see photo - bottom reading). Would this be right or not. I also think the tool is a 'scan only' tool as I couldn't alter it. What are your thoughts...

If only you were in NSW, I would ask for the left over front cut shell (body). Dont need it now, but for the possible future. When and if I ever decide to do a manual conversion, it would come in handy for working out and setting up a clutch pedal system. Is it a Lexus or Celsior, as I...

Cheers everyone. Thanks for your knowledge and the info. Kev

I was talking to my boss today about the M90 I have bought and the manifold kit etc from Richwoods. We got talking about how much boost it would run and he asked what the pressure relief valve was set at. I sort of gave a silly look and he realised I had no idea. He use to race years ago and...

My car is right hand drive and your obviously is left hand drive. Where abouts is your hand (foot) brake. In the right hand drive cars its next to the transmission tunnel and may be a problem when there is a clutch pedal near it. I have also thought of this conversion a little and thought...

v8 cruiser Hi Beato, Looks like you are doing a great job on the cruiser. This is a conversion I was wondering about for my wifes 80 series. I will have to contact Dellow and see if they have a bellhousing for ours, as I'm not sure if the 5 speeds are the same. Keep up the good work and...
