why no forced induction over its life?

Even though I’m way bored of it, and it owes me a fortune, if it were not to sell, which we all know it more then likely wont, I’ll throw a Vortech onto it.

I can charge it for around $5k, and @ 15psi it’s a 450hp+ car. The auto’s been built, so that won’t be braking anytime soon.

Then again, the parts to make a 1uzfe a manual these days aren’t all that expensive anymore.

All pipe dream talk really, at the end of the day I want another turbo performance car anyway.

Thanks Mushy, someone I know has already had a chat to them, and they built “LEX S” a few years back. Bang for buck, I'm not happy with the power their setups make, although it is still an option if I can huggle them pn price/

Not really after a “blower” set up on top of the motor though, I prefer the vortech/pro-charger supercharger set up's

If anyone has Vortech hook ups yall know were to find me

I think it was a dark blue or greeny colour - can't be too sure tho, as I was just coming off the roundabout (just before the bike shop) at speed... :)

It definitely had plates similar to LXUSS though, and had some decent sized chromies - that's why I thought it was you.

      I know you said no amps in the boot, but there's enough space next to the battery for a pair of modern small foot print amps OR one small 6x channel amp. This is what I did over 6 years ago, used 2x marine amps (no decent 6x or 5x channel amps back then)

      Pressure delta gauge is pure pron. No guessing, no excuses.

      That’s the one. Yeah, the seller has confirmed the base ECU is from a manual car.    To be honest, I’m only worried about the TCS light being illuminated due to registration here in NL - unsure on rules. Back in Japan, we weren’t allowed to have any permalit error-related lights (or so my shaken guy said).    Looks like this Nistune is the way to go then, appreciate it GTSBoy, and the others that chimed in.

      There is no impact. Granted, mine is in an R32, so there are a couple of other things going on, but.... my auto ECU came with the auto engine. Bolted it up to the manual gearbag and suddenly the TCU is just spare parts along for the ride. The ECU doesn't (really) care. Nistune is the fixer of all wrongs. I have no ABS CU or traction control. That would be a recipe for fault codes and permalit check engine light. But....just go into the diagnostics pages and turn them off. Presto, ECU no longer cares that it can't talk to those CUs. If you're worried about the TCS light being lit on the dashboard for some rason (that I am not catching right now), then.... remove the globe. No-one needs the TCS anyway. That is what throttle control is for. I certainly don't have it - haven't missed it in 12-13 years or so. Never wanted it.
