    Project Thread Vortech on a tired 1UZ-FE

    Actually I'm getting the problem with the blower disconnected as well as with it connected. In fact since it came up I've been driving around with the blower disconnected the whole time to try to make heads or tails of the situation and eliminate the variable that I'd introduced by supercharging...

    tighter serpentine belt tensioner

    An "L" bracket from a hardware store with a double nut-adjusted bolt on one end putting pressure on the flat protruding tab of the stock tensioner is what the accepted solution for belt slack is!

    Wanted WTB: 1UZ-FE knock sensor

    Hi all, I'm looking for a good, working 1UZ-FE knock sensor for my '96 LS. As far as I know, any '90-97 1UZ-FE knock sensor will do the trick just fine. Let me know what you have - thanks! (My budget is less than $25 - have mercy on a poor fella!) :D

    Project Thread Vortech on a tired 1UZ-FE

    My pinging problem has become very real, with P0325 - a knock sensor code - getting thrown when the car is cruising on the highway around 60mph, when hot. The code throwing makes the car very slow and makes the motor lope and buck - which is really disconcerting. I can't even see the knock...

    Project Thread LS 400 Single Turbo

    How much money would you say has been spent on this project so far? If I had to guess I'd say 30,000 euro

    1uz-fe, are you happy?

    My super-high mileage supercharged LS still makes power, and still doesn't smoke or consume oil. It's a motor designed to live forever at stock or stock + 20% power levels.

    BMW V12 Project

    I came so close to buying a 1991 850i for $5500 a week ago. I didn't do it because there were too many things wrong with it - the front bumper was cracked, the trunk was disassembled, the headliner was replaced by something out of a corner garage, the motor wasn't running right - with a Dinan...

    The case for Asymetrical Turbocharging

    Are you serious about boosting your LS? I seem to recall some GM diesel from the 90s had a turbo running off of only one bank of cylinders. I don't see it causing any failures in your setup. Do it :)

    Where can I get A supercharger for my 1991 Lexus LS400?

    You can buy the "Fish" bracket from Lextreme and then mount a Vortech or ATI centrifugal supercharger on there. That's what I did.

    Project Thread Vortech on a tired 1UZ-FE

    The AFPR made no difference on the dyno when disconnected, the A/F ratio was still nutty. I will try the new plugs before I increase the boost. I don't think that I'll get to up the boost for another few months as the bracket needs alignment and solidification work. I think the M/W kit holds...

    Project Thread Vortech on a tired 1UZ-FE

    I need more power. I have a line on a 2.95" pulley. The seller is trying to talk me out of it - he comes from the Ford world where crank-mounted blower pulleys are 8 inches! I'm hoping that it gives me 5-6lbs boost instead of 3.5lbs as current with the 3.75" pulley. I've also disconnected the...
