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.

to make it a conversion would be not too hard bullet cars sell a setup for the forced induceted 1uzfe and can even look at fitting for you

Heavy duty conversion kit (Bullet SS) $1790.00

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

LOL you started out wanting to sell the car now your after parts for it...

Only with you nismo boy can this happen....

instead of selling it to cut your losses your planing to through more money at it... i say go for it!!!

Your car has now been resprayed has it not? I'm sure I drove past it on Caloundra Rd on Monday (parked outside bike shop)... I thought it looked in pretty good shape when I glimpsed it...

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.

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
    • I was more thinking so it doesn't flop around as much rather than for rotating it. Once you have the balance right, it should rotate well enough, depending on how much resistance there is on the pivot. I think you said the pivot point was on a bearing though didn't you?
