Default "THE" clublexus eaton m90!

So I am thinking about being the next owner of this supercharger that started with scottrunot, then to jdmmuscle, axmily, meshguy etc whoever has it now if they are the forums. I really need to find a few things out first.

My main concern is POWER. Why no one ever dyno'd with the darn charger is beyond me! Not trying to spend over $3000(realistically) and make barely 300whp. Which leads me to believe why everyone keeps reselling it because they realize it doesn't make much power.

I have searched far and wide about the m90, but none that I have found have been ported.

So does anyoneeeeeeeee know the figure this thing should put out with a 7psi pulley or say a 10psi pulley if/when I relocated the coolant hose? I have aem fic-8 now but not going to install it until I find my platform, if this falls through I will more then likely upgrade to aem v2 and go boost.

OR

Get rid of the 1uz and go gte or lsx, just months after I put my 6 speed in the 1uz is such a good contender to other engines but lacks so much in readily available information and aftermarket. It's starting to bother me esp since I have done the m/t swap and now's there's really nowhere to go with the car besides spend a fortune to make it faster for the price of another engine swap

Look in the GS forums. I always go there whenever I'm looking at a new performance mods for my 1UZ. They (for some reason) have done more with the 1UZ then us SC guys have..

How is the 1uz with the 6-speed? Do you feel a need for more power? I heard the swap on the 400 makes it quick

I ask because my w58 2jz-ge is pretty semi fast...

Maybe a different gearing in the diff and some cat-less headers?

The last GS member is going 2jzgte if that says anything. A 2jzgte with the cd009 is a great combo...

You're answering the question right here. The Altima, Camry, Accord, and Maxima have 300hp right out of the box now.

None of those cars make close to 300whp stock. Manual Accord is the strongest of those and dyno's around 250ish...

That's around 70-80HP more than a stock SC400.

How I look at new cars is like this. Sure they make 250-300 from factory but with forced induction added almost all of them hit a limit close to 400hp without having to open up the motor. And its the same with the 1uz. Now there is one impressive little sucker! The k24; its such a great motor. If only honda would make a v8!

Also theory 5150, the car drives great and is enough for a daily driver. It's everything I expected out of a m/t 1uz but being up in the mountains the car really feels the altitude and its kinda boring me. I am getting the craving for more power.

I am now searching for a lq9..... would be nice if I could attach my trans to it

isn't it a beaut!

I've got a Maxima with the VQ35, rated at 265hp. My guess is it's putting down about 220-230 to the wheels. A good deal quicker than my stock 1UZ. Not sure what the current gen Maxima claims but my guess is another 25-50hp. Just putting my input here.

Sorry OP, no answer for your question.

Do the 1UZ! Anything with 1UZ and forced induction is rare and unique...be different.

My god I would so love to do the LQ9 with the z trans but I'm a little hesitant about cutting the trans or know any shop that would do that.
