Bullet has a good rep on lextreme, problem is they are in AU so shipping here is pricey. I've been looking into the 1uz for a while myself and a good place to start making power is a set of headers and a cam. I believe Kelford makes a set for the 1uz, but I havn't found any numbers there. Rush imports in AU makes a set of long tube headers for the SC, which I hear add around 30hp. Again shipping is pricey. There used to be a company here in the states that made shorty headers for the SC, S&S but they jsut recently went out of business. You could try searching around for IMF or EKT(?) headers too.

that said, the m90 supercharger off of ford thunderbirds is a good match for the 1uz, and can be had fairly cheap. you'll need a custom intake manifold though, or one from bullet and neither of those are cheap, but can be had. Don't forget you'll need to tune if you go with any sort of forced induction. 6psi boost from an M90 ought to get you about 330hp at the crank (http://www.planetsoarer.com/supercha...al/JimRoal.htm

Good luck!

Did you say $2000 just for the engine? That doesn't include fabricating cost, extra parts, tuning, ECU, and a can of worms. And you still have an unknown condition engine.

If you want to go with M90, buy a Bullet supercharger manifold for $1000 and some other misc. parts for cheap, then piece together. You can have a complete setup for less than $3000.

NA setup for the win! rebuild the engine and head with lightweight forged parts, throw in new cams and bump the CR to 11:1 and grab a ECU to tune it with! spin it to 8k and have a blast!

One could always buy a Mustang, thereby disproving the generalization.

NOSSS its cheap but fixing the damage if used improperly is EXPENSIVE. get bigger injectors. and then NOS. nitrous addes alot of oxygen/ air to your engine you would blow it up if you didnt get bigger injectors because it would go too lean and get way too hot.

here is my knowledge from my previous car drag setup mustang 5.0.. here s a pic just for fun to do some justice.



Nitrous hits the stream of fuel entering the engine and finely atomizes it into droplets. this is important as you don't want un-atomized liquid fuel flowing through the motor for lots of reasons, the most important of which is that the stuff will not burn as it is in big droplets and just comes right out of the tailpipe!
the extra power comes from the extra charge in the cylinders, of oxygen and fuel. he extra Oxygen comes from the breakdown of the nitrous oxide gas compound, into itrogen and oxygen due to cylinder temperatures. additional power and a deal of "anti detonation" comes from from the powerful charge cooling effect that the liquid nitrous oxide has on the incoming charge as it turns to a gas from a liquid state. it does this partly inside the inlet tract, as it "boils" from liquid into gas as it emerges from the injection point.This "point" may be a single point say at the throttle body on fuel injected cars, or directly into the inlet ports on most bikes, but the effect is the same. In all cases the charge is cooled, extra fuel is added, and atomized. the additional oxygen and fuel in each intake cycle increases cylinder pressures (and temperatures), and therefore engine torque and power, quite drastically rise.
check out this nitrous dyno sheet for the spike in hp and torque with nitrous!


have fun ADD FUEL DONT FORGET! and nitrous does not do more damage or put more stress than doing a turbo would.
