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.

    • On the compressor side it looks like the best, if your head setup will support doing 100-110lb/min at 30psi-ish boost.   The G45-1350 compressor looks ideally better if you need closer to 40psi for it, given both the G40 1150 and G42 1200 look like they'll be around the 100lb/min mark at 35psi and dropping from there.   Bear in mind the turbine sides are all different between those three turbos, so that COULD be an influencing factor for how they all perform in the real world as well.   Not sure if you've made a conscious decision to only look at Garrett or not, but at least on paper the XRE7169S matches or beats those other three at everything from 30psi up and just going from wheel size alone likely to be at least as responsive as the G40 1150 and seem to behave closer to G42s in terms of turbine flow.
    • @Lithium  looking for a turbo for my Rb30. Want to make sure I understand this correctly.   If I want to stay 40psi or under my best choice of these 3 is actually the smaller G40-1150 ?
    • Massive ups for MTHire also. Could not have done the subframe bushings job without hiring the tool from them. Process was super easy and cost me around 25% of the cost of the tool. If you need a one-time tool to do something, check them out. (Paid for the rental myself, no sponsorship here.)  
    • I'd suggest calling Unigroup, they have a lot of experience with these, access to reliable fabricators etc. Of course it will cost but at least you can trust what they tell you
