Default 1uzfe current supercharger options??

Ok I do not wan't to swap my sc400 I have decided as I have a supra for big hp #'s but the sc for sure needs more pick up and I think a supercharger set up will do what I need for now.
The problem is that seemingly all of the websites that used to sell kits now no longer do.
So my question for those in the know is what is avl as of now?

Thanks!

also if youre planning on doing the upgrade kit from then theres another alternative for close to the same price and power output for the car. look up the raptor supercharger kit for the toyota soarer.

Yea it's only 2k which is not bad and I have a brand new m90 blower at the shop just looking for a good home so that's my thinking and I will check out your suggestion as well.

Swap in a 1998-2000 1UZ-FE VVT-i engine with an exhaust.

270HP + VVT-i + 5 speed automatic + tall differential gear > just a supercharger

Where to pick up cheap manifold for M90 or M112?
Does M112 manifold from bullet car clear Sc400 hood?
Thanks

As far as I know swapping in a vvti is harder than it looks, there is a thread somewhere talking about how someone attempted it but failed. I think you would need a donor sc400 in order to pull it off...

i think it'll clear if you dont raise it anymore to add in an intercooler. also i forgot to mention a local to the US option...the "fish" bracket setup. it lets you use a vortech v1 or v2 supercharger of your choice. the only issue you'll have to relocate the battery.

The vvti 1UZ is a very difficult swap. A 2JZ, or buying an SC3 to buy or vvti SC4 would be cheaper/easier
