    serious help guys

    Hmmmmmmmm what if we gave it a go with the vvti pistons? Would the early rods have different pin sizes then the vvti rods? Or maybe machine the non-vvti pistons? This is kinda interesting and I would be willing increase my budget for if I could get some good solid advice on how to make it work...

    serious help guys

    Turbo is an option but what about a root style s/c like the m112 or m90? I like they whine they make :D but not sure if they could make the power I want. Well probably not the m90 that's made for smaller displacement engines. And what would it take to mount the vvti heads to an early block...

    serious help guys

    Like I said my budget is around 10k and yes forced induction was part of the plan I just cant choose which engine to start with. I've read of guys making good numbers on the 1uz but yet I'm look for more displacement which leaves me with the hybrid swap or just the plain old 2 uz with a built...

    timing vs shift times

    Hey guys I've been reading up on my car its a 92 sc400 and from what I've read it retards the timing a good amount when shifting to smooth it out. I was talking to a buddy of mine and he suggested upgrading the valve bodies to shorten the shift times thus giving the ecu less of a chance to...

    Fuel pump not turning on

    Disconnect the fuel pump, get a multimeter and see if it gets power at the pump if not then trace it back till you find the problem it could be something as simple as a bad wire.

    If your looking for vvti then a 1uz from a second gen sc if your looking to just get more power since your looking to mix an match I'd go with a 2uz block with ported 1uz heads.

    HELP Steer me away from a Chevy LSx

    Lol wtf if it works then what does it matter I recommend it if your looking for low budget add on performance since we don't have enough displacement to make big numbers n/a or $5-12k to sling out for a good turbo setup. Personally I'm not a fan of sc's but for a street car with extra oomph im...

    SC'd 1/2uz hybrid ?

    From the articles and threads I've read here to my understanding we could use the 2uz block along with the 1uz rods but not the pistons. I'm starting to collect parts for my project and am soon going to order pistons. I plan on running 6-8psi. My question is would it be safe to run the stock...
