I'm trying to get someone to prove me wrong and actually do something.........

Yes, there are a few exceptions here, but mostly, noone does anything but complain "damn I wish more people made parts for the SC4". If you build it, they will come....

I simply need more info on the kit before I buy it. The car is already in the works getting newer engine...SC is next but I need a lot more info then FAT have to offer on their web site. Keep this thread going, post what you know about it and more and more people would be willing to get it. BlownSC...how did you come up with $7k? Whats in that number?

I'm pretty sure that with the first system, you don't need any additonal fuel management stuff, but with the second one, you might. Once you increase the boost from 6 psi, then you'll need the fuel pump, injectors, piggy-back, etc.

I just want to say, Rush Import (Neil) is a great person to deal with. FYI the kit is not ready yet from FAT. The intake manifold is ready not the kit. Please read it carefully. We have a long thread about it too in our forum. http://www.lextreme.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=370

However, I am just so happy that there are companies making kits for the 1UZ. I would say this, start save up your money. Few kits are coming.

Actually, the kit is ready, including the manifold. It's just not the final cast version. It's the machined version at this point.

I have inside source about FAT kit. Its not ready. The manifold is done, but the kit is not ready yet. Supercharging takes more than a manifold to run. I think it will be ready by the end of this year. EFI kit will be ready by September.

That's not the email I got or posted on this forum, so I'm going to go with the direct words from Danny.
