    American V8 Swaps into Lexus?

    I think the toyota diff/axles should hold up fine. IIRC The big hp supra guys push lots of power without much problem. Between the SC400, SC300, Supra base/TT, auto, etc, i think you can go from 3.25 rear to 3.75 (maybe as high as 4.11 but this is all off of memory). Some of the stock LSx...

    American V8 Swaps into Lexus?

    LSX power has been done in about everything. The way to do it would be a complete engine, trans swap. Then a custom driveshaft mating the T56 6 speed to the Lexus diff. The chevy computer has been hacked time and again so no stand alone would be needed. The lexus instruments seem pretty basic so...

    http://www.ssheaders.com/header.htm Decent info. Remember they are usually referring to American V8s with the same firing order as the Lexus.

    Would take a new crank to change the piston rotation order, cams to open the valves at the "New" right time, and ignition to fire the spark at the right time. I dont remember exactly what the benefit is other than exhaust timing. I think there are some balance issues as well. Not sure, read...

    Ferrari Sound

    First off-they are not the same firing order. The goal with the crossover headers is to make the UZ motors exhaust pulses hit the collector in a similar way to the ferraris despite the different firing order. Think of a good header collector like this: O O O O With the positions being: 1 2...

    Transaxle conversion

    Not sure about the 944, but the 928 looks like the above pic, torque tube and all.

    Transaxle conversion

    The 928 used a REALLY tall final drive. I think the options were 2.25 and 2.75

    Is there a 180km Speed Limiter on the American SC400 ?

    I was a little worried. The entire thing rear of the car was vibrating-probably due to my worn suspension bushings at the time. 176 was redline but not quite fuel cut.

    Is there a 180km Speed Limiter on the American SC400 ?

    My US 92 SC400 has no speed limiter. I recently topped the car out at 176mph on a chassis dyno.

    Speed limited? if so how to remove ... ??

    Theres not a speed limiter on mine. I just had it to 176mph on the dyno this weekend. Its a US model 92 SC400. Dynoed 189hp 208tq bone stock with 200,000 miles. (226/260 if you count the spikes on gear change)

    New Headers for the 1UZFE

    The next question is how are these better than the "Tex" headers? For a hijack type of question id like to ask what the best length would be for long tubes on a stock motor? Im not trying to bust anyones balls, and I know its a limited market, etc, and I will probably buy these or tex's...
