Thanks, From what I gather a 1UZ+boost is a monster!!! (in a very good way!) My "dream" set up for my car at least on the engine side would be a 1UZ that revs and makes power up to 9500 rpms and has boost, by either a lone supercharger or twin charged!

Yup thats me, Thanks! Cool, I think that was a good color to use!

So I was cruising craigslist and came across a "safari bar" for the RAV! Guy ran it on his RAV for about a month then the engine started smoking so he pulled the parts off and stuck it right back in the box! SCORE!

I finally found a Vortech that was has the correct discharge. It came from a guy who had a SC400 running a 10psi pulley, so its perfect for my goal. It was a little dirty so I cleaned it up, I think I'm going to re finish the polish job and make it look new again! I also managed to find a set of...

CX Racing is developing one, they also have plans for a turbo kit for the LS swapped Supra.

Wow, what color did you use on the block? I like the way it looks!

A friend of mine was cruising ClubLexus and found them, but they are on eBay new, the ones I have are OBX. They originally came from a guy who was building a drift/race car and started to fit the ITBs he never finished and parted it out. The ITB cast lowers have to be moddifed to fit, some parts...

Thank you! I found that one on ebay, got it for a steal considering what they cost new. I pretty sure Lextreme still makes them, or at least parts for them. I ordered some 1UZ downpipe flanges last year and out of no where a week or two later they showed up at my door, good quality water jet...

I started to think of where I want the inlet of the plenum, also took a lot of measurements so I could model the plenum in 3D and have CFD run on it to see if all the runners are getting equal CFM of air. I also took a few photos of the ITBs since there seems to be little info and photos out there.

Ahh yes, my father had dabbled with the hydrogen. He runs his generators on it, great alternate fuel source. When I built my 1UZ Supra I knew it wouldn't be nearly the fastest thing around, but I knew I wanted to build it. So, no matter what people said I did it, and I couldn't be happier...

This is awesome, a few of my friends were talking about doing this to a 7M. That sound is just... freaking amazing!

Its been a while, but I have been busy with a lot of stuff. I recently started parting out a car, I'm using it for a mock up base for my car. I can't stand when my car is down for months at a time, so I'm doing all the leg work on this chassis to see what problems arise and make everything "bolt...

Ok, So after extensive testing at the ECU using the EWD book, checking voltages for all the sensor imputs, checking for grounds, and checking for shorts the only thing I had left to check/ swap out was the igniters. So I found a set in the local pick n pull, swapped them, and it still ran the...

Hahaha, nice. Thanks, it was a two hour drive to get there, but way worth it! Isnt there some sort of road race that a small town hosts out your way? They block off like 15 miles or somthing of curvey and straight roads for people to let loose on. Yup, all this V8 torque is just too much! :) I...

Thanks all, I like the tires. If I bought them again I would go wider for sure. Atlas, thanks. When I made it back to the staging area the announcer said "... just came in with the most strange sounding Supra... ever... must be a V8... or something" hahaha

Thanks, yes it was a lot of fun! The tires grip well for street use, but in most of the corners I had to wait to roll into the throttle a short time or the back end would start to swing out. They are only 225's though, I bet with a wider version it would be much better.

Thanks, yea by the end of the day I was pushing it a lot harder, but the gopro died... The video was my first solo run, the first two I opted for an instructor to give me a few pointers. He let me run the track then told me what to do better and it did help, I saw an improvement every run.

Yesterday I raced in a local autocross event, it was the first one I had raced in. I LOVED IT! I will be racing again. My car did better than I expected, and I got a chance to see what I was capable of. I cant wait to get back out and on the track! My car was in the SM (Street Mod) Class, there...

You got a stray 'p' in the link. But yea, that does suck.

Just added a new wiring diagram to post 1: 1987 Supra to 1993 LS400 1UZ-FE (This diagram is subject to change, since I have not done a LS400 1UZ-FE swap yet it may change as others give me input)
