Thanks!

Eric,
Thanks for the the info.. One more thing, do you feel the the stock injectors on the GS400/430 is adequate for the jump to 5.0?

You'd have to turn the pressure up and trim out the idle, but honestly injectors are cheap so it'd be a great idea to switch over to something with a higher rating and trim it out.

Thanks!

Hahaha.. I know we can't drop the 5.7L into the GS/SC/Supra, but we may begin to work with the 3ur just for the fun of it.

Cowboy, I'd love some sources of tranmissions places that are familiar with the Toyota units.

I'd PM you, but it appears that is turned off on your profile?

Thanks in advance,
Joe

Let's say all i wanted was lower compression (8.5-9.0), but to lose no power, and maybe even gain power on the low end?

VVT-i 1UZ.

Can't PM you, Cowboy... What's up with that? Anyway, I can ask my question here: is there a more mild approach (read: inexpensive) to a vvti 1-uz motor you can offer? I'd like about 375whp daily driven, so after bolt-ons, I'd only need about 75 horsepower from your services. Thoughts? I too want a M5/CL63AMG type-car without being close to a 5 digit price tag to upgrade to it.

Yeah, my PMs have been disabled by so if you have any questions feel free to ask openly. It sounds like you will need a cam upgrade and some tuning if all you're looking for is 375rwhp, and you will have all of the bolt ons. It's a lot less $ than a full build and you can keep your original motor in your car. If you're looking for something on the mild side, I'd say that's a good way to go. Figure ~$1800 for the set of 4.

Thanks!

Eric

Are you looking to go forced induction?

I have a gs400...if I go with the cams, is the $1800 range for parts only? If so what is the expected labor rate?

Eric, I'd like a price on cams for my supercharged motor...I'm going to save my pennies for one of these motors next year if they're still available. How much for the cams?

Right, that's for parts only. We'll also need a set of cores, or we can source he cores ourselves. I'm sure what the labor costs would be as I do my own labor.

Thanks !
