My auto trans is finally starting to take a dive so its time to start piecing together my w58 swap. So far here is my list of what I plan to use: -MKIII Supra W58 (I am aware of the shifter fitment issues) -W58 swap kit from 1uzfeswapkit.com *The 1uzfeswapkit includes: aluminum adaptor, steel...

The controller is actually a microcontroller that I built and programed. It has 2 inputs (up and down) that cycle through 5 latched outputs. And to toggle between the controller and the ecu for fully auto mode, I used a DPDT relay which is wired to a switch. I've programed 2 different versions...

So I have a 93 SC400 that I've been building for almost 2 years now but the only things I've done to it to make it faster is, 4:27 SC300 auto differential, swapped a650e 5spd transmission, dual 2.25" exhaust w/ magnaflow mufflers and bfi intake. I still can't decide which route I want to...

Over the past week I've been designing and building my own transmission controller so I can use paddle shifters to manually shift it. The controller is extremely basic and doesn't really have any fail-safes but it works and also allows you to toggle between the controller and the stock ecu for...

Ok, back in September my cousin bought a 94 SC300 5spd because he loved my SC400 so much, but he and I decided he should get a 5spd 2JZ instead so that between the two of us we would have the best of both worlds. As most of you probably guessed, the first thing we did after bring my cousins...

Sweet, thank you. Do you have any suggestions for what TCU could used. Im going to attempt to piggyback the oem TCU since I have it and the harness. The only aftermarket TCU I know of so far that will plug-n-play with a Toyota trans is the suprastick but they said it will work with A340's...

Do all 3 of the UZ engines use the same bell housing? I just got my hands on an A761e transmission out of an SC430 but the trans itself is in another state so I want to make sure it will mate to my 1UZ first before I spend the money getting from Las Vegas to Denver. I'm not concerned about...

Well, I plan on finishing everything by next year but I want to know what I can start with. So what's the bare minimum that I can start with? My main concern is the ecu and fuel system. Can a 93 SC400 run 6psi on the stock ecu and fuel system? I've never worked on a forced induction car before...

So, I recently just lost my lisence from getting too many tickets so I've decided that for the next 6 months, while my SC is sitting, I'm going to do a slight rebuild on the engine and if I can afford it, give my 1uz a little bit of boost I've pretty much come to the conclusion that the...

Does anyone know if the exhaust manifolds on the 97-00 SC400 are bigger than the 92-96 manifolds? I was underneath a 97 SC400 that had its cats pulled off the other day and noticed that the manifolds look a lot bigger and more open than the ones on my 93. It could just be my imagination but I...

Thank you very much

Where those cad designs for the egr delete kit are hiding at? Thanks

Would putting the 2 round resonators back on fix it? Im finishing an interior rebuild on a 94 Corvette this weekend and I let the owner borrow my car in the meantime so I havent had a chance to take pics of the new exhaust Thats exactly why I bought a 93 (wanted a 94 but couldnt find one). I...

Sorry its taken me so long to reply, this has been a seriously hectic weekend. My car is actually a 1993, I found that shifter at a junk yard but couldnt find the trans. Some day soon, Im hoping to swap out my a341 for an a650. I got my exhaust done on Friday with 2.25 dual pipes and...

Im glad you said something, Ill do 2.25 piping instead and post pics tomorrow. You might not be able to post it in time since my exhaust appointment is in 7 hours but could you post some links to some good threads to read through about exhausts? By the way spf_lexus, weird side note, I was...

I guess I should've been a bit more clear on my goals for this car. I am know my build is bit all over the place but thats always been my thing when building/customizing cars. I do want it to perform well on the track but at the same time I dont want it to be a track only car, I still want...

First of all I want to start by saying that I am completely self taught and Ive finally reached my breaking point of frustration. I feel like I have been running in circles on the internet for the past year trying to learn more about cars, more specifically SC400s, but I keep hitting dead...

My appologies if I missed it, how much boost are you running and are you running a roots or cetrifugal?

Im glad to finally be here amongst more tech head type people who actually understand what Im talking about. haha, ok thats weird. I saw your post on CL and basicly base my design on it but have been trying to use put the turbo on the driver side and go up and over the a/c. I want to put the...

So I have a bunch of mangled manifolds in the dump at my shop, mostly because Im stubborn and lazy, and dont want to relocate my ps pump, a/c or do an electic fan swap. So has anyone successfully fabricated a manifold that lets you keep your a/c and ps pump? And could anyone thats willing, post...
