Default Dreaming of the ultimate mod....

Oh how nice it would be.... I've always been more of an engine guy compared to exterior styling. Before I moved to PR I did everything I could to my 06 Mustang GT, besides forced induction, putting out about 400 at the crank.

I was just browsing and how nice would it be to put this guy on. Anyone actually use this product before?


Vehicle:
Toyota 1UZFE HTV1900 Kit

Overview:
Breathtaking performance with ultra high efficiency - Bullet's world first High boost upgrade for the 1UZ-FE utilising the HTV1900 Supercharger.

Forget the M90 or M112, this is THE Supercharger to have nestled confidently between your engine "V". This kit has been developed to meet the needs of those 1UZ owners chasing a real world 250kws+ at the wheels. The Harrop HTV1900 is a Roots-type supercharger manufactured utilising the latest Eaton TVS (Twin Vortices Series) rotating assembly. The Eaton TVS rotating assembly features twin four-lobe rotors, twisted 160 degrees. By comparison, the original Eaton superchargers (for example - the M90) features three lobes twisted 60 degrees. The fourth lobe and added twist, when combined with redesigned air inlet and outlet ports, creates a smoother, more efficient flow of air into the engine. In addition to improved overall efficiency, the Eaton TVS supercharger has improved noise and vibration characteristics as well.

The HTV1900 kit is a true OEM style kit utilising the renowned Bullet High Flow cast intake manifold. From the CNC cut top plate to the unique Bullet high flow rear entry, the Bullet kit is unrivalled in engineering precision and product development. The HTV1900 delivers maximum boost from 'off idle' all the way to the redline, maximum torque at lower engine speeds and drastically reduced air intake temperatures when compared to the M90 and M112. The HTV1900 can support boost levels in excess of 15psi and with the increase in efficiency, produces unlimited high rpm power that easily outperforms any other 1UZ positive displacement Supercharger kit on the market. Guaranteed.

For maximum gains, Bullet recommends a complete standalone engine management system to take full advantage of this Supercharger's potential.


Benefits:
Bullet’s world renowned cast intake manifold with removable top plate
Ultra High Efficiency HTV1900 positive displacement supercharger
OEM style installation
Fits under standard Soarer bonnet
Boost levels exceeding 15psi
Power in excess of 300 rear wheel kilowatts
Ideal kit for forged internals

Parts Included:
Harrop HTV1900 Positive Displacement Supercharger and bolt-on pulley
Bullet High Flow Cast Intake Manifold with removable CNC cut top plate
Bullet High Flow Cast Rear Intake manifold
Internal Bypass Valve with optional interchangeable boost delivery system
Idler Bearing with mount
Engine and Supercharger 6PK Drive Belt
New intake manifold gaskets, nuts and bolts
New bottom Injector seals
Intake piping with Idle air control valve provision
Comprehensive Installation Instructions
Technical support available via Email and Phone

Price: $6490

Fitting: $1200

Time: 1-2 Days

Recommendations:
‘Plug and Play’ Wolf V500 ECU with full Automatic transmission control
Water to Air Intercooler
High Flow Bosch Injectors with plugs

a couple issues:
1-that bullet kit (and most of their kits) are for the early 1UZ, which use a totally different cylinder head and intake manifold (that are NOT interchangeable with the VVTi intake). So that kit won't work for you.

2-'95 and up 1UZ (in the LS, '96+ in the SC) have weak rods that are prone to failure past ~8-10psi. 8-10psi is only good for ~350-400hp. if you want 700 or so, you'll be looking at a forged, built bottom end, headers, a completely reworked fuel system, and standalone/high end piggyback management+tuning. Oh, and a bigger SC w/heat exchanger.

can be done, just will cost you ~$20-30k USD.

Any idea if they are worth it? I know on my old GT the full catback + headers was good for 45hp.

I read the title and thought you were dreaming of PureDrifter.
Tha kit looks a little over the top. Not that I wouldn't consider it if I could afford it.
