What kind of power improvement are you seeing with the SC? Do you think you are gaining 50-75RWHP?

stock = 256hp ~=200 rwhp
with s/c i am thinking 350hp ~=275 rwhp
with s/c, methanl injection and full exhaust...about 400hp ~= 315rwhp


im going to dyno it next summer after i do the methanol injection and full exhaust. they say the methanol reduces intake temp by ~150 F.

I dont know for sure what the hp is right now, but i can spin the back tires just by flooring it (no brake stand)

That is cool - always wondered what these roots SC's add to power range on our 1UZFE's. As far as cost goes it seems like a nice ratio for a more powerful daily driver to me. Thanks for the information

I am going to be listing some Celsior parts for sale soon. Just have to take some pictures to post with the ads.

for all you thread followers, here is a preview of the list. All are for a 1991 Toyoata Celsior (UCF10 / 1UZ-FE). All prices in USD, do not include shipping, and are o.b.o.

Headlights (both sides, single piece. i think they have bulbs too): $280
Tail Lights (red/orange kind, all 4 pieces): $120
Toyota Grill with emblem: $160
Toyota Intake manifold (upper and lower halves. quite heavy): $30
CD changer from the trunk (says "Celsior". not sure if working. was disconnected at time of purchase): $30
OEM spark plug wires (used): $10

...more to come



I also have these for a Toyota Supra (which will fit the LS400/Celsior with the use of shims or spacer plates. I was told that wheel spacers may work). Selling because they wont fit now the supercharger is installed.

TRD Front Upper strut brace (used, but good condition): $offers
No Name Front Upper strut brace (brand new)): $offers

What year is written on the plug wires? What condition are they in? Are they brittle or still soft, pliant, and pliable? I'm very interested.
