    COOLANT FLUSH HOW TO...?

    Awesome thanks! I did it yesterday and it took a good 7-8 flushes before all that came out was water. Notes; - I only opened the radiator valve, as the other ones were hard to reach. Still I grabed a hose, stuck it in the water inlet, and blew air through it. This forced all the water out of...

    COOLANT FLUSH HOW TO...?

    COOLANT FLUSH HOW TO...?

    Hey guys, does anyone have instructions for it? (I searched and couldn't find anything with pictures... or anything that would help)... Tips for it? Can I use any engine coolant or does it HAVE TO BE Toyota coolant? Thanks! (PS I just got the car today for $1800 :) Ill post pictures...

    LETS RUN ON ONLY 4 CYLINDERS... (and save gas)

    Sure, but the thing is that I am going to turbocharge my sc400 to about 400whp, so at 3000rpm (lets say) I will have (let say) 5hp instead of 1hp so the power should be there. Also, it will only be when I (a) hit the cruise control button and I know that there wount be that big of a hill and...

    LETS RUN ON ONLY 4 CYLINDERS... (and save gas)

    SO, how does GM get their cars to run on only 4 cylinders while on the freeway? (does it simply cut off the signal to the injectors and turns four of them off? Just that?)... I was thinking maybe, just maybe, I could put in a switch and everytime I hit cruise control four of the eight...

    HOW MUCH PSI FOR 500WHP?

    Hey guys, How much psi is needed for these 1uz engines to get a good 500hp (which is what the stock internals take right?). Also, what do you need to replace in order to go higher (not that I want to, but just curious; like 700-800hp). Thanks!

    IS THIS CAR A GOOD DEAL?!?! PLEASE HELP!

    Hey guys! So I have been looking into these cars as a project car (want to make it a great, reliable, and fast daily driver later on). I found a 1992 SC400 for $2,000. It has 210,000 miles, and it has some interior upholstery problems as well as the passanger door being "non functional" (as...

    Help me make my 800hp beast...

    From what I have read the 6 speed is actually weaker (dont quote me on that) and I would beleive that would be the case since most 5 speed trannys are always stronger that all the 6 speed trannys. (simply because the gears can be much thicker since you only have 5 speeds and not 6. Again, dont...

    Help me make my 800hp beast...

    I was deeply looking into converting it into a 5 speed transmission since I think it would be a lot cheaper. Does anyone know how much those adaptor plates cost? (from Dellow's or Rush imports or any other?)

    Help me make my 800hp beast...

    So, what can be done to the tranny to make it hold more power? A toque converter? Or should I just go for the supra manual transmission swap? All I need is an adaptor plate and the clutch/brake/pedal set from the sc300 right?

    Help me make my 800hp beast...

    Hi, I will be building an 800hp supercharged SC400 V8 Auto. I will be using a Paxton Novi 2000 supercharger: very good supercharger. I have already bough an engine rebuild kit (since it has 180k miles) and high strenght pistons, rods, crank bolts, and head studs. So I am good in the...
