I'm in the process of swapping a 1UZ from a 1996 SC400 into a Subaru (w/ a manual gearbox). Is the original SC400 instrument cluster needed in order for this engine run and run properly? Nothing I see in the wiring diagrams (or in searches here) indicates that the cluster is required, but...

Also, for anyone wanting to make their own 1UZ to Audi 012 gearbox adapter & flywheel, this kind soul posted up his drawings online: http://guerillamotive.com/wordpress/?page_id=183

That sounds far simpler than I imagined, thanks for the feedback. Too simple, even...

I'm in the process of retrofitting a 1UZ midships into a Subaru Brat (aka Brumby). It's mated to an Audi 012 (aka Porsche G86) manual transaxle. The donor is a 1996 SC400. I have the complete car, down to every last wire and sensor and nut and bolt. I have the factory wiring diagrams. The...

There's a really ugly SC400 locally that I want to check the compression on, but the car doesn't have a harness. Can I borrow your SC400 harness? I'll buy the harness if the engine turns out good. If the engine's bad, well, I won't need the harness. Then again, if the harness is cheap or...

Condition, pics, location, price?

Depends on the car. LeMons rules has a cost limit, so I'll part out the non-powertrain bits to offset the purchase price of the wreck. That's why I'm limiting my search for complete cars. The key, I think, is to find a car a usable engine/harness/ecu. But tell me about this head-less car in...

Looking for a wrecked / unwanted / rough / LS400 or SC400. Any year. I'm building a LeMons car which will use the powertrain. In Los Angeles area but willing to drive for the right car. Towing is no problem. What you got?

Building another LeMons car. Midengined 1UZ, can a get a hell yeah? Need a wrecked or otherwise cheap car to serve as powertrain donor, prefer 95-97 LS400 (or 96-97 SC400) if I'm picky. Willing to drive to fetch it; I have a truck & trailer. Cashmoney too. Talk to me.

This might sound like a strange request, but can someone confirm whether their stock lug nuts have the geometry shown below? It is an open-top lugnut with shank and washer. Toyota used this a lot... but I don't know on which model car. I think its Lexus SC300/400 and LS400 but I want to be...

I don't have the number in front of me but it was around 100k. I'll double check though.

bump; pics added!

Is the password no longer "123456" ? I can't connect, and that's where it seems to be failing. Any clues out there?

EDIT: Lots of inquiries for pics, so here they are. It has been stored in a garage in (dry) southern CA. All connector shells sealed with tape for protection. Hello guys I have a complete engine/transmission/ecu/harness/accessories (sans a/c), plus complete intake/MAF/airbox assembly...
