Supercharge 1UZ into UCF10 project.

[JamesN]

I'm just sharing my current project I've been working on. I'm in a process of doing a rebuilt of 1uz motor to be swap into my 93 LS400 that have been broken down. I'm also adding a Bullet M90 supercharger kit with it too.

This is the final product of how it should be. I hope.


Now to start. This is what she look like right now. On jack stands.

I got a free medium mileage motor from my friend David(Lextreme). It's a little burn but the internal is in great shape. That is all I need since I'm doing almost full rebuilt.

The Tear down begins. Thanks to my buddy Steve(Stevechumo) for taking out his precious time to come over and lend me a hand.





A pile of parts.

More new parts are here and more to come. New engine harness, mounts, gaskets, seals, bearings, and ARP head studs.

Finally the big stuff is Here. Been waiting over a month for it and it look totally awesome. Thanks to Tom at http://bulletcars.com/ for putting together this complete supercharger kit for me.

Good luck James; it looks like one impressive build!

Are you changing cams or staying with the stockers?

 

[Lextreme II]

Nice work James. That going to be one clean and quick LS400 out there. Congrats.... I would estimate around 75-80 rwhp increase from stock with that setup.

Thank you. I'm just staying with stock cams. I'm now looking foward to make a custom set of headers for this setup.

You'll have 1 of the fastest LS400 out there, and to say 1 of the big powerful sedans out there. 9 psi can easily be achieved with your setup. Drooling!

Steve my brotha.. I can't wait for you to start your Supercharge project. BTW, I can't do this alone without your help.

I dont know about the fastest. Dont forget our friend SPF_Lexus (Shawn F.) He has a 4.7L with ATI. He will give James a good run for his money. Cant wait.....

We'll see. I know James is hardcore enough to put in some more mods to make it real fast. I think James is planning to make this car into at least a 12 seconds car.

[JamesN]

Some update... It's coming together slowly. I'm taking my time doing this project since I've been busy with many other activities.

 

[Lextreme II]

Those valve covers look exactly like a set I did for the 7M-GE ten (!) years ago. The color was "Pontiac Blue Metallic"
