I bought it and so should you! IMF headers for an insane price for $399!!
I bought it and I'm sick to my stomach. Not that I got ripped off; not that I don't trust IMF headers; but it's because I placed my mortgage payments on priority 2 instead, LOL...! Now that's bad plus the end of the...
The total shipped to my place is 450 something dollars, which is still a steal! However, after reading what people have to go through to install headers on the 1uz discourages me a bit. Some claim they've taken as long as 9 hrs. just to get them on, and after having removed several parts from...
They are definitely streetable coilovers. The ride feels similar to a stock M3, but slightly stiffer. They're pretty cool but they still can't beat the Gixxer custom coilover that I had on my SC3 a while back. But at least now nobody will complain about my ride being too modified, Lol...
Very nice! That's exactly what I plan on doing, to extract as much power out of the stock V8 before I run a safe 75 shot of nitrous. I already have the BFI mod done last week and a custom exhaust system. The BFI mod really gives you power that you can feel, and it's much more torque-ey in the...
I completed my BFI mod last week and finally got a chance to drive the car today. Let me tell you, you definitely feel the power when you punch it on the freeway. It's not something extra that only a dyno machine can you see the increase, but there's definitely a lot more torque and high end...
I just installed the bkr7e's on my sc400 vvti. When I removed the old plugs they were actually iridiums. Also, there's this sticker nearby the plugs that say use iridiums only. Now would this be a problem?
Right on JB. Yeah I did more research about the cats just now, and have decided to keep them on. The last thing I want is for my lady to complain about gas smell inside the cabin. Also, I found out that it's just about a 5hp gain. It's funny how this other guy said to me that his 2000 is300...
Thanks for the pictures.. The pictures look pretty scary alright, Lol.. How much time and labor do you think it'll take at a regular auto repair shop? I just don't know if I'm capable or have all the necessary tools for the replacement. It seems like a big job.
Question about removing both cats..
Well first off, does anyone know how many cats are under the sc400 vvti? If I remove all the cats will I seriously gain an additional 20whp? Will the car run richer without the cats, and how much louder will it get? I've already removed all the resonators...
I'm done with the intake and exhaust. I personally don't think expensive aftermarket parts such as intake and exhaust would do much better over what I've done already. Isn't intake exhaust on the 1uz motor just around a 10hp increase? I would like more info on the removal of all cats, safc...
Fellas, how much of a HP increase will I achieve with this planned setup. Also, tell me if I'm doing anything wrong here. I have a V8 98 vvti SC400 Lexus. I've already customized my stock exhaust system with 2.25" "H" piping all over, removed all resonators, and retained stock mufflers. It...
On my sc400 98 vvti, I have the power and snow button available. What exactly does the snow function do? I noticed the car's a bit slower with the snow mode on. I don't believe it's on 4wd right? I don't recall sc's having this option.
Running Zex wet kit in conjunction with a msd window switch, and in conjunction with a basic progressive controller. How do these electronics work together?
I have a 98 sc400 vvt-i with 134k, and I'm sure it's due for a new fuel filter. Can someone tell me if they're all pretty much same? They have ones on Ebay specifically for the sc400, but does not have a brand name. I don't know if I should use it or not. They also have the fram ones for the...
Rite on..! Sometimes I wonder what am I still doing on CL? There's not much about V8's over there either. But in any case, I made a purchase through Rock Auto just last night, and their price will save you a buck or 2 compared to ebay.
I've found a lot of vvti 1uz running up to 150hp shots of nitrous, so I'm pretty sure a 75hp shot for my V8 is nothing. However, I will be using a msd window switch in addition to a progressive controller for added safety. I will set the msd to go off at 3K and cut at 5.2K just so that the...
