UZ Vortech/Paxton Supercharger Bracket Kit “Tiger Shark”

The Adapt Lab “Tiger Shark” bracket aims to bring what the market has been missing for a while: A quality complete bracket kit to mount a Vortech/Paxton supercharger on your UZ engine. While many other kits are more expensive, more prone to heat soak and produce hp numbers that are lacking, this kit brings more value in a better package. Bolting onto all UZ engines from 1UZ non-vvti to 3UZ vvti, there is no way you will be left out.

Designed from the ground up for the highest belt wrap possible. Beating any previous or current supercharger setup available for the UZ family of engines. This kit achieves 220-240 degrees of belt wrap. This drastically reduces the possibility of slip which is not attainable with any other kit. No point in going with a setup that is doomed from the beginning, so we built in hard adjustment points to allow moving an idler closer to the supercharger pulley as the pulley gets smaller in highest boost setups.

Even with the high strength stainless steel bracket being 6lbs, we still achieve a roughly 25-27 lbs total weight with the bracket and the Vortech blower (Vortech V3 Si was used for the weight) making it the lightest supercharger kit offering ever. Being that this bracket mounts the blower low in reference to the engine, you can assure that the weight is well placed. We took care to precisely machine the spacers for the supercharger with an accuracy within .05 mm, we guarantee proper alignment with the rest of the drive system on the engine. This level of accuracy allows the idlers to be put closer to the supercharger pulley without causing weird loading that can cause the belt to come off.

Superchargers love longer runner lengths. This tends to be a point that does not get talked about enough. While many see longer runners better for low end power hurting peak performance, this is a benefit when paired to a supercharged engine. Why bring this up? The UZ family of engines has historically long runners on the intake manifold so an intake manifold change most likely is not necessary to reach your power goals when you choose a centrifugal supercharger. This allows you to spend money elsewhere where it is needed. If a top mount supercharger is used with an aftermarket intake manifold utilizing very short runners (typically under 3 inches) this will reduce overall power, force you to run more boost creating excess heat and most of these setups with the positive displacement blowers will not net over 400whp even with over 10 psi of boost. Positive displacement blowers also mount directly on top of the engine soaking up large amounts of heat while creating heat from the compression of the air. With a Vortech or Paxton supercharger the heat from the engine will not transfer into the head unit reducing heat soak. Less heat soak means lower intake air temperature for more efficient power. No compromises in performance are required when choosing this kit and the mounting is the simplest as well. All of the magic happens on the front of the engine so no need to remove the intake manifold, modify and cut coolant crossover pipes or mess with the fuel system either. It will require that you swap over to the proper fan clutch bracket but most engines already have the correct bracket from factory. The goal for this install is to get you from start to finish and driving in 48 hours. No cutting, welding or modifying the front water bridge required. No compromises in comfort either. This kit is A/C friendly.

All the components were made with A/C in mind (vvti engines may need to make a new a/c line to go around the supercharger bracket and head unit). If you are not running A/C all of the components will be provided for a non A/C setup. This is the best kit for supercharging your UZ engine. Long gone are the days of 20 year old blowers mounted on top of your engine. With a wide range of mountable blowers you can easily find the right blower to support your power goals. No need to break the bank either as this is the most cost effective form of boost beating even budget turbo setups. Light weight, no heat soak, high belt wrap, easy install, well priced, built with high quality components and precision makes the Adapt Lab solution the right solution.

  • Fits non-vvti 1UZ, 2UZ, and vvti 1UZ, 2UZ, 3UZ engines
  • ***This kit is to be used in the Lexus Sc400 or any vehicle where your UZ has more room in front of engine and no room on the side of the engine due to chassis constraints please use this bracket (Trucks and SUV’s with UZ engines most likely need this bracket). This specific kit allows you to low mount the blower and not have to move your oem fuse box in the SC400. You may still run into clearance issues with your radiator fans when creating an intake for the blower. Move your fans for best fitment. Battery relocation may be a possibility to accommodate the intake and the blowers volute.***
  • This bracket supports the following Vortech model superchargers: V1, V2, V3, V4, V7. MUST BE A COUNTERCLOCKWISE UNIT (CCW) this will not work with CW rotation blowers.
  • This bracket supports the following Paxton model superchargers: Novi 1200, Novi 1200SL, Novi 1220, Novi 1220SL, Novi 1500, Novi 1500SL, Novi 2200, Novi 2200SL, Novi 2200X. MUST BE A COUNTERCLOCKWISE       UNIT (CCW) this will not work with CW rotation blowers.
  • This kit includes the supercharger bracket, bracket spacers, blower spacers, studs, washers, nuts, pulleys, idlers and bolts.
  • Belt wrap will range between 220-240 degrees depending on pulley size and idler position (idler position matrix will be provided for best wrap on specific pulleys).
  • Requires the use of the fan clutch bracket. This supercharger kit will NOT bolt on with the hydraulic pump bracket found on some 1UZ engines. ***WE DO HAVE a drop down menu where you can purchase the necessary fan bracket and pulley required to bolt on this supercharger kit. Drop down menu can be found back at the top of the page.***
  • This kit supports usage with an A/C compressor or without it. ***Be advised*** Some vvti model vehicles have an a/c line that may interfere with the supercharger bracket itself. A custom a/c line may be required.
  • This kit is designed to be used with a 6-rib supercharger drive pulley. It can be used with an eight rib or ten rib pulleys but only in the smallest size (2.5-2.6 inch). There are some in-between sizes that may suit your boost target better, but we advise staying with the 6 rib pulleys. (https://vortechsuperchargers.com/products/copy-of-s-c-pulley-6- rib srsltid=AfmBOooHQJ6wmta8PHabQ4e2ceVtW- uFNKYsYS3lbRbr0FHgmUZH1z9x)
  • For the individuals running stock distributors, there is an additional bracket that can be purchased to properly hold the ignition coil since that bracket will have to be eliminated. We have a bracket for the MSD ignition coil #8226 which is a part of our kit for non vvti 1UZ engines and the Oem ignition coil as well. This can be found in a drop down menu at the top of the page.
  • Depending on pulley size this kit may require you to cut a relief on the engine’s cam covers. For the 1uz non vvti you will need to clearance the plastic lower and upper cam covers. For vvti engines you may either need to remove the metal cam cover to not hit the supercharger pulley or cut a relief for clearance. Attempting to use an 8 or 10 rib pulley will make this worse. If you plan on running more boost later (which requires a smaller pulley) I would advise not cutting the vvti cover as you may end up creating the clearance you need later.
  • The provided spacers MUST BE USED as instructed or you risk tossing the belt off and causing damage. The supplied Dorman idler pulleys MUST BE USED as well. These idlers were specifically selected as a control variable for belt alignment.
  • The supercharger pulley must be setup to where the ribs are closest to the blower. Incorrectly mounting the pulley will mean the ribs will not match the alignment of the engine when using the supercharger spacers.
  • SERPENTINE BELT SIZE: Belt size for this kit is ranging between 102-106 inches with the use of 2.87″-3.8″ pulleys (interpolate belt size if you are not using these pulley sizes). It is a good idea that you consider changing belt size to always have the shortest belt possible. The less belt there is the less belt there is to stretch.

Lightweight, doesn't run into my eyes
Style: SPF 30, Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I really like this as an everyday sunscreen and for outdoor sports. It looks thick compared to the watery Kinesys (my other go-to sunscreen), but the Eucerin goes on light and stays put. Unlike Kinesys, it doesn't get into my eyes by the afternoon. I still prefer the K. brand for easy application to my hairy arms and legs, but the Eucerin 30 is perfect for face and neck. I also tried the SPF 50 version of this, and the spray-can version, but they don't go on very well, so I'm returning to this one.

Great for Sensitive Skin
Style: SPF 30, Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I've been using greasy white, mineral sunscreens for years because the chemical sunscreens all made me break out in a rash--until I tried this one. It dries clear, is non-greasy, and goes on well. Note the relatively few inactive ingredients compared to other chemical sunscreens. Whatever ingredient irritated my skin is not in this one and I love it!

Expired
Style: SPF 30, Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 30, Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I just received this item which was ordered specifically 17th of December and I received it on December 20th. I was excited and didn't bother to read the reviews and wish I had. To begin the expiration is December 2024, therefore this product I just received is basically useless. Secondly to my eye the product came battered, there seem to be some marks on the bottle and if I have to be honest to me looks as if it has been used. Given the dangers potential dangers of using expired skin product I will not be using this, and the worst thing of all, this item is not returnable, going to figure out if I can get a refund at least.

Expires in only 3 months so that's on seller "The MMC." Otherwise the sunscreen itself is great.
Style: SPF 30, Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I split the difference on the rating: I would give only 1 star for seller "The MMC" because as others have experienced there is little time left before the product I received expires (3 months). I expect that to really matter on a product where you are relying on the strength of the ingredients to protect your skin. Otherwise I'd give a 5 rating for the sunscreen itself. I tried 3 different brands of mineral sunscreens in the last few years because I had become concerned about loading up my skin with chemicals. They were all a little "white hazy" but I am fair-skinned so once they were on about 20 minutes they weren't very noticeable. But I had to sit on a towel in my car to protect my upholstery and they all left faint white streaks on the armrests and window sills, and reapplying them later in the day was a pain when I had to worry about getting them on my clothes. The last straw came when Consumer Reports published their research showing very poor scores for all the mineral sunscreens they tested. So I reluctantly switched back to a chemical sunscreen and after some research I settled on this one - Eucerin Sun Advanced Hydration SPF 30. It fared decently in Consumer Reports ratings and the ingredients are rated "low hazard" by the Environmental Working Group. It is definitely a thinner lotion than most sunscreens but I've gotten used to it and now consider it a plus -- it's very quick and easy to apply and it absorbs fast. And it doesn't make a mess on my clothes when I reapply it. Some people have said that it's a little shiny on the skin and that's true. I should note that I use a different sunscreen just for my face and neck and I don't wear makeup anymore so that's not a factor for me. As far as sun protection goes, which is kind of the point, I spent over a week hiking in five national parks in the Utah sun at high altitude this past June and I did not get even a whisper of sunburn despite being fair-skinned. So the product did its job.

Easy application - absorbs easily
Style: SPF 30, Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The sunscreen is quite thin and liquidy which made applying it easy and quick. Spent 2 hours per day for several days playing pickleball in full, constant sun and not a tinge of pink on my skin. I highly recommend this product!
