I'm running the SAFC2. The biggest problem is the transmission or finding a suitable solution to hold in excess of 400 hp that wont make me a poor man. If you can put the headers in I would do it and forged pistons and rods are a good thing to do if you can afford it, that way you dont have to...

Yes FI the photo in the first post is the underside of my car.

Yes it worked out very well, I have been boosting at 500hp daily for quite a while now.

THats a great idea, thanks for suggesting it. I have a guy in MD with a trans and no valve body but I figured the more opetions the better.

how much for the transmission?

Have you been able to get any 98+ 1uz with VVti to accept a manual transmission? I guess my question is more specific to the 98+ ecu working with a manual transmission?

Well turbo should be back next week thankfully they fixed it under warranty.

Ah so what was the answer here, are the billet rods better than forged?

Wastegates run off of springs, the spring pressure keeps it closed unitll the presscribed boost pressure is reached. Or you can hook up an electronic boost controller that lets you adjust the boost controller from inside the car and run at higher boost pressures than that which the spring is...

A few questions. Do modifications need to be made to the starter in order for it to work with the setup? Which cars has this been tried GS, SC, etc on, my concern is will the Cars stock ecu throw fits with the manual transmission. How much clearance will need to be hammered out in order...

Thanks for all of the information guys. Of course with this stuff there is always somethning, it looks like I blew my turbo for the second time in less than a year. So I have to look into that tomorrow, once I see where I stand with that I'll come back to the decision on the rods. Thanks...

Forgive me for asking I am far from an expert on this stuff. So if the questions seem lame please bear with me. Do the argo rods come with bolts, how much hp can the bolts handle? Can I use the stock Lexus bearings or do I need something else? will the argo rods work with my Ross pins?

I have noticed in the past that some of the products that work on the older 1uz do not neccesarily work with the Newer 1uz with VVTI, the ross pistons come to mind as one example. Has anyone installed these rods in a 98+ 1UZ with VVTI heads?

Pauter is about 1500 US.

At the risk of starting another thread like the one on pistons (which I dont want). I need some help picking out some rods. Pauter makes forged rods for the 1uz VVTI and Carrillo makes rods as well, I am assuming that the ones sold in the for sale section will work with the VVTI motor. Can...

I have ross pistons in my engine and while they are slightly noisy upon startup, once the car reaches operating temperature you no longer hear them.

500hp = 372KW Calculator here http://www.wentec.com/unipower/calculators/kw_hp.asp

No it wasnt stock, it has been fully built with forged internals and ARP studs. I only mentioned it as a way of saying that the SAFC will work

I hit 500 on 17psi with an SAFC Took 3rd place in the V8 and above with power adders At NOPI in Atlanta Last year.

10.1 is rich but in my experience with the 1uz it isnt rich enough to cause fouled plugs and hesitations while under WOT. You mentioned that you are getting a MAF code, are you sure that the MAF isnt faulty?
