But to go the urd route to reach 400-500 your looking at $9,000, you can sell your 1grfe motor for 2,500-3000 than making your ls1 cost we will 2,700,than you have 7,700 to work on a ls1 motor that puts out 310rwhp stock comparing to a s/c 1grfe

Ok well i guess i dont feel so bad now. If i were making 350 at the wheels i would be estatic! But that wont happen for me with out the 09+ UCON. And some other stuff. Right now im only 260. Even being in the 300s would be sweet.

When they say do an ls swap they're not talking about an ls7 and damn sure not talking about buying it new from Chevrolet...they're talking a 6.0 out of a wrecked gto or something along those lines.

+1 on the best thing to do is throw a Urd supercharger and ucon on it and call it a day. That'll easily put you between 400-450hp which as coupe said I would keep it close to 400. I understand the whole wanting to be different thing but pretty much everyone who has gone down the path of doing internals and "seeing how much they can get from the motor" ends up parting their truck out on here 2 months later because they scattered their engine all over the street. Very few 1gr's live long lives after they're opened up. Oh and aside from the motor, the trans is still a heaping pile of shit.

But N/A should last even if living in the throttle?

Lol where'd you get those numbers? Even if you get the urd supercharger system, ucon, stage 1 to 2 upgrade, AND stage 2 to 3 upgrade you're looking at like 7400. And that has the ability to support well over 500hp (which you won't be doing on a stock motor). I'm pretty sure the basic mk3 and ucon out of the box will make over 400whp, for like 5600.

I see a lot of new members in here so they may not know my story and I haven't posted much as of late because I was so pissed at the bath I took trying to build a 1gr... After spending just shy of 9k to do so, it failed NA.... I support whitebeauty's post 100% DONT BUILD A 1GR! URD SC and simple bolt one is all this platform can do!

Your not just gonna slap a urd s/c on a bone stock 1grfe and make 400whp,full exhaust,7th injector and diff pulley thats 2,300 right there,so 7,900 to make a motor push 400hp,basically what im getting at is for people who dont have money to just go buy a urd s/c all willy nilly,were gonna work with what we got and make the most out of it,but hey if u ya wanna buy me im all for it

Alright get your popcorn out..... Lol

Well, I'm not gonna go there but I will say that if u wanna email him or call , if u can get through, him and buy them you may do so. I sent the heads in with the cams and a set a factory cams because the ttc ones would have needed to get reground. Last I heard it was up to I think $800 of work which is fuked up because I never got any updates or approval requests to do anything. Not even an initial inspection type thing. So when I did get ahold of him last year it was on a point where the machinist was about to scrap them cuz there was no updates on it... Not my fault how would I have known??? So then It was left at I was gonna get a call back to see if they needed to get decked. That's where it stayed since....


I'm gonna say one thing I have heard a lot of stories about Gadget and Torspd and some other locals to him and I can't bash him nor I won't. He freakin helped me alon the way every step he answered my calls and fine tuned the truck every time. Idk why but it was really awesome he hooked me up with stuff and all. He is definitely a busy guy APR is not he only thing he does and to be honest I believe he is pretty much done with Toyota platform. He'll do work for some but it's far and few in between. Unfortunately for me he left me with a secret which I swore I wouldn't tell but if I could the Toyota world for enthusiasts would be a whole lot better right now....

So with that I say I don't wanna hear one word about the 1Gr is a good engine and all that crap. Sure it is but leave it at stock. Don't spend your hard earned money tryin to go fast... Forget it the 1gr is a p.o.s. For performance. My recommendation to you even with Gadgets odd way of talking to people and telling them what they should get is.......

Get a freakin URD S/c kit with the UCONN push out about 450 and LEAVE IT ALONE. This will give u reliable power and amazing drive ability And response.

Option 2 a good turbo kit from the fab guys in Texas with a standalone if your year range is in there.
Option 3 LS it. Best option.

Just depends on where u stand with your truck.

Guys like @sdxrunner could probably vouch for what I'm saying he might call me some names n stuff but I'm sure he knows where I'm coming from he's been there done it.

Don't waste your time on a freakin TRD blower it is an embarrassment to forced induction...

Ok I think that's it....lmao....

Love the forum and it will always be my family you all have been great to me!!! I'll be here so feel free to ask me whatever.


Why in the flying f*** would I call you names??? I'm not sure what your huge secret is about these engines is...that isn't allready know.... I do know a few things that I have spoke to folks outside of the ears of banhammer mods here, and confirmed a few suspicions, regarding tuning. ..but we ain't gonna go there.

And incase anyone I womdering, option 3 over in my camp is fast approaching year 2 of abuse and showing no signs of failing. Well, other then blowing up an entire diff carrier...lol

I just don't post here much anymore but do stay active and lurk. Mainly stick with FB XR/taco pages because I can stand the mobile ver. Of this page...lol

An ls7 is $16000 on chevys websight.... But I understand there are cheaper LS motors like the Ls4.

Ls4 is the transverse 5.3 used in FWD cars. It would be a terrible candidate for a swap and hard to find. Google LS swaps bud if you think the majority of guys are dropping 16 large on a LS7....when you can make nearly double the power for the same cost...:crinklehair:

dude you can get 4.8 ls motor for like $250 from the right place. you spend another 3k for a turbo kit, another couple hundred for a good tune and you can be making north of 600hp on a motor that baselines about 100 hp more then a 1gr does base and it will just laugh and ask for more
