well if we're gonna start with a different chassis....why not put a 1uz in a lotus exige? totally impractical and probably not worth the ENORMOUS effort if it's even possible..but it'dbe light as heck.

that's what i meant by wear and tear. and the traction thing is the purpose of moving weight around, maximizing what you have. unless i misunderstood what you meant there (which is possible, i JUST woke up)...neway...i forget who said it, but they were exactly right. The LS400/Celsior; no matter...

Shedding weight isn't just goin to help you go around corners faster. Weight reduction will improve almost every facet of the car. Straight-line performance, cornering, braking, fuel comsumption and even wear and tear, and it's not like you have to drop 500 lbs and live without AC to acheive a...

All in all a combustion engine is a glorified air pump and shining example of inefficiency. Anything you do to assist the evacuation of air and "lighten the load" on the engine is going to improve efficiency. So by replacing your old clogged cat (s) with one that flows better than the stock one...

I recently had a rodbearing related failure (i dont want to talk about it) in my LS400 and as a result am left with an easily repairable low mileage 1UZ. And seeing as how this is an AMAZING motor ideas immediatley began coming to mind. The first two involved my lonely 280 z (completley stripped...

I've driven it down the back road where my shop is....and the tarmac is kind of broken...its not bad for a back road but its far from perfect...and in these conditions all i have to say is that roughly 400hp in a 1500lb car is stupid....anything under third gear is useless.....fourth might be a...

Thanks for the reply. I unfortunatley don't have the luxury of having anyone as intrested in LS 400's in canada as you do. I beleive I may be the only person locally who has a pretty good understanding as to the potential of the 1UZ... Anyways Thanks for the input and good luck with your swap...

Hey all I'm going to be on the receiving end of an isurance cheque soon for my torched ES300 (long story short something went through something else while on the highway, big bang, lots of smoke and fire, no more ES300) and I will be converting my 1991 LS400 to a manual trany very soon. I would...

Again thanks for the insight. would the gains i'd see with 6 psi make spending the money worthwhile....i meani could always go down the engine management route later and save some money up front by only boosting to 6psi...hmm..lots to think about....plus i also gota speeding ticket not 20 mins...

Thanks man, my insurance company will also be thanking you in acouple months :veryhappy ....lol...do you know what my optins are for intercoolers and fuel management...i hope to only be running about 8 psi (it is only and mp 90 im using) and if its possible to retain the stock hood with this...
