power up options for 4.7 V8?

Post by CRUSHU »

I'm now a Toyota owner (sort of, it's a Lexus LX470) 100 Series.

What can I do to the 2uz motor to hop it up a little, without Boost, as I want it inconspicuous.

Exhaust would be the quickest and easiest thing.

The exhaust on these is very 202'ish....a nice set of extracters would help...how much i dont know, then there is unichips that give more and return more economy too...dont think the 2uz has ozygen sensors....if it does, then that wont help alot, as they self tune to optimum with the o2 sensor anyway...the best way to get power is safari turbo or capa...lots of money later, you would have a weapon.

My brother does Blowers for these, but I want something subtle....

I want more power, as my other 2 cars run either a 418ci windsor plus 200hp of N20, or 408ci Clevo with 6/71 Blower.

Exhaust is restrictive in standard form, tune is conservative. Piggy back chip, exhaust and a good tune would suit most.

They are pretty average all the way to the head but tight to get a decent system out to the Cats.

If cost wasn't an issue, I'd be looking hard to ditch those log type exhaust manifolds - very 1950's design :-(

Complete the exhaust and get someone experienced to tune it with a Unichip.
