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.

Fun, both heartwarming and heartbreaking
Format: Kindle
Only my second first person written selection, I am still getting used to that aspect, but unlike my first, I enjoyed that the story was told through both MCs. A great enemies to lovers, forced proximity, fated love etc, that resonated to me. There were some small twists that I could see coming, but also a few that I didn’t quite see until the characters were also seeing. Personally, I am more interested in the story than the spice, but with that said, it was well seasoned! I am kind of new to the spice world so I can’t say for sure how this would rate, but it definitely had some heat. I am very glad I happened across this author, and I do plan on also reading the next book….if nothing else, just to see for myself the “transformation” of the characters I’ve grown to love!

😍😍 BEST DEBUT NOVEL EVER
Format: Paperback
I’m having trouble finding accurate words to describe the way this book made me feel, but I am going to do my best. To start off with basic elements, the character and world building are phenomenal. I feel a strong bond to not only the two main characters, Ara and Rogue, but to each and every character introduced throughout the book. The author did a stellar job of giving each of them unique personhood. All of the scenes are beautifully described. So much so that throughout the entirety of the book, I could see every scene: the towns, the castles, the meadows, the landscape. I have had difficulty with this and with distinguishing between outlying characters while reading in the past, but I did not have to think to remember details of world or character building because they flowed naturally within the story and were described well. I have read book series before that made me want to be a part of that world, but I actually felt like I got to step into Auryna and Ravaryn! The plot twists!! Although this is not a suspense novel, it still had me on a rollercoaster of emotions and on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. I haven’t cried actual tears over a book since I was in high school (and I’ve read a LOT). This book finally broke the floodgates in the final few chapters. Multiple times. And we love a good cliffhanger. It truly made me FEEL. THE SPICE is a solid 3.5/5. Some of the scenes had me flushed, some had me taking notes, some just had my jaw slack and my mouth hanging open. Bravo, JD Linton, bravo. The relationships: friendships, family, romantic, ALL of the relationships in this book have so much meaning. The author does a great job at making you feel the love, the anger, the peace, the frustrations, the safety, the familiarity, etc. between the characters. Ara and Rogue. I can not say enough and I also do not want to say too much. Just know that I feel like I know them both, to their core. I know what their childhood looks likes, their darkest moments, their biggest fears, their dreams and passions, what they want in life… The POV switches were seamless. I am so happy this author decided to let us see from both sets of eyes. I can not wait for book two after that cliffhanger. And there is SO much potential for at least one prequel, I can’t wait to see where this author goes! I hope this series continues and flourishes. Fingers crossed!

Amazing!
Format: Kindle, Format: Kindle
This book was phenomenal, I devoured it within a few days! For this being a debut novel, it is fantastic and I would’ve thought the author was a seasoned author. I have zero complaints about this book. Let me start by saying that the world building was phenomenal. I could picture everything in my head because of how detailed it was — that’s how good it was written. And I absolutely love the “captive/captor” trope so much, it’s become one of my favorite tropes, so I was pleasantly surprised to see that this book had that. I loved the banter between Rogue and Ara — they’re both snarky and witty, plus with the romantic tension, it made the dialogue that much better. Speaking of romantic tension, yes there is spice but not so much of it that it overrides the plot, which I loved. For me, this would probably be on the 3/5 level of spice. This book had a ton of plot twists and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

High on Tropes and Satisfaction
Format: Kindle
This is a great Romantasy book full of action, adventure, and everything you look for in this genre. I won’t lie: it does kinda feel like the author found every common trope from every successful book of this kind and threw them all into this novel. But if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Especially in romance, there’s a large audience who has specific expectations, and they want them every time. Nothing wrong with that and many times I’m one of them. I have no idea what defines a spoiler honestly, so spoiler alert!!!!!!! Tropes include: Only one bed at the inn/bar Dissatisfaction with life before hunk appears Lost royalty The chosen one Montage of dress up time followed by shocked hunk Forbidden romance between two from rival peoples Power that cannot be controlled, simply guided/asked Gathering intel at the inn/bar FMC who knows how to fight/use weapons well There’s probably more but no need to list them all. Good story and I would recommend!

AMAZING debut novel!!!
Format: Kindle
Plot ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Spice 🌶️🌶️.5 Romance 💘💘💘 Vibes ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dual 1st person POV - Ara (26) & Rogue (39 - but looks mid-20s: they can live hundreds of years so this isn't that large of a gap as it could've been which I heavily appreciate lol) Tropes: enemies to lovers, fae/human wars (deep hatred for each other), shifters (dragons- MMC can only partial shift with wings), one horse, one bed, touch her and d!e, found family, abduction turned to freedom The Last Storm is the debut novel from JD Linton and let me tell you, you guys NEED to read this. The plot was engaging and the editing was was amazing (especially for a debut novel). Our FMC, Ara, is stuck in her gilded cage longing for a life outside of her small town. She uses her books to escape and live vicariously through the pages (honestly, relatable). After her father announces her betrothal to her childhood friend (to whom she has no romantic feelings for), Ara tumbles unknowingly into a desperate plot trying to stop the humans from slaughtering the Fae. As one can expect from an enemies to lovers / kidnapper/captive romance, Ara fights her attraction and lust towards our MMC, Rogue (the King of the Fae), for as long as she can. Upon seeing Ara for the first time, Rogue is instantly aware that she is his fated mate (not a spoiler). Since she is the General's only daughter, he plans to abduct her and use her as leverage to stop the brutality. During Ara's time in Rogue's captivity, their banter and chemistry continue to rise until they finally boil over and come together (quite literally, and many times I may add 😉). Here's what I LOVED: - Rogue continuously seeks advice from his elders and deeply respects their opinions and life experience and tries to implement their recommendations - Rogue makes many mistakes in the beginning but we see him actively work on not repeating them as the book progresses. The level of self-awareness and his ability to change his behavior was impressive - The magic system is intricate and we have only scraped the surface. As the series continues and Ara progresses in her powers, I'm sure we'll get to see more of this. I absolutely LOVE the messaging system that is used in this book. - Ara's struggles are so human and so raw. She is experiencing so much guilt and pain and hurt and getting to see her work through each of these emotions is inspiring. Especially as her and Rogue get closer and she learns she can lean on him as well, that she is not alone. - While this is the start of a series, there is NO cliffhanger! There's a bit of a teaser of something major that is going to happen at the start of the next book, but it's not a cliffhanger in the sense that we aren't sure if someone is going to live or d!e or if they'll be separated. For that, I am very thankful! This book was so much fun that I will definitely be returning to book 2, even if it takes several months (or longer since this is an debut author) to publish! - Lastly, the cover is GORGEOUS! And I love the title! I'll copy a few of my favorite quotes below so you can have a little taste of the author's writing and the world she's cultivated. 😊 Top Highlights from The Last Storm On days like this, when my heart was heavy and my mind clouded, I resorted to books— to escape, to forget, to find freedom where I had none. If I were to marry him, my face would always be turned to the window, searching for more, and if not that, I would be a shell of the person I am now. I stepped back to admire her, thr0bbing at the sight. She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. To ever exist. Nothing, no one, had ever deserved to be worshiped more. All men should be made to kneel before her. But she would have to settle for me. The taste of her met my t0ngue as my scent merged with hers, forever branding her. Mine. I l!cked the wound. Hers. Completely and utterly hers. I didn’t claim her in ownership. I claimed her as my one. Devoted myself to one. With that mark, my body and soul were bound to her. I would never be with anyone else, emotionally or physically. It would be her or no one, until my last breath. “Scream my name. Let everyone know who I belong to.” I had never really cared about the weather before, but now, clear skies meant everything to me, and I was grateful to see another calm morning. “There will never be another woman for me.” He paused. “Ever.” I stilled at his words. “What… Why?” “This”— his thumb slid down across the mark—“ is a symbol of… surrender. I know you believe that it was my claim upon you, but it wasn’t. It never was. I bound my body and soul to you, little storm.” “I also know that it is more than this tiny, insignificant mark on your skin that binds me to you. It’s you. All of you. Your strength and resilience. Your determination to endure no matter what fate throws at you. Your love for love and stories and hope. You are entirely the opposite of everything that I am and I would gladly wear your shackles if it meant I could have you.” My mate. Mine. And then everything shifted and I understood. I understood everything. The surrender. The deep, soul-craving longing. Bound. I was bound to him. Body and soul. Entirely his. “I would’ve waited forever,” he whispered back, understanding. Seriously, everyone.. add this to your TBR!!
