    The SC lexus is bashed by the E55 AMG!!!

    are you talking about stock or rebuilt 700r4 units? ive done quite a bit of work on a supercharged (12-15 psi) 383ci camaro, that runs on mickey thompson et streets, and its a full weight car (close to 3500lbs). after grenading 3 700r4's with 'performance rebuilds' my buddy opted for an artcarr...

    looky looky

    dog boxes' straight cut gears are alos noisy as hell to drive around with. very cool, but not necessarily all that practical.

    The Egr Block Begins?

    if the headers require it its one thing. but to be honest im not even sure why people block their egr's. egr's operate at cruise, on WOT acceleration they arent working anyways. theyre for keeping nox down while cruising along the highway, etc. i cant speak for the missouri or cali e-tests. but...

    The SC lexus is bashed by the E55 AMG!!!

    thanks for the compliment. but yeah like i said, i imagine the amount of work in the swap would be about the same as the th400 that ive heard some of the others mention. i doubt its the same as what your need for a 1uzfe, but i know titan motorsports sells a bellhousing adapter to mate the...

    The SC lexus is bashed by the E55 AMG!!!

    im not 100% sure what they came in, i do know the 700r4's came in various 1980's gm's 1985-1991 c4 corvettes, a few pickup trucks, certain years of f-bodies (camaros and firebirds) as for difficulty, being as old school guys swap 700r4's out for th400's fairly frequently, so i cant see swapping...

    The SC lexus is bashed by the E55 AMG!!!

    reason i said i wouldnt want a 3 speed in my road car is mainly because i do alot of long roadtrips and wouldnt want to be listening to a v8 that idles down the highway at 3500rpm for 8 hours on end, nevermind paying the gas bills on it . i wouldnt be interested in the overdrive so much for...

    The SC lexus is bashed by the E55 AMG!!!

    its true, i think id be more inclined to go with a 700r4 rather than the th400 though, just because....well, for street cars 3 speeds suck. id definitely want the 700r4's overdrive feature.

    The SC lexus is bashed by the E55 AMG!!!

    well it makes sense that theyd make the comparison of a 1993 sc400, with its n/a 4.0, against an 80 thousand dollar 2003, which is equipped with an extra liter and a half and a supercharger..... and by it makes sense, i mean its absolutely ridiculous. of course in the backwards world in which...

    SC400 to be faster then 400hp Vette?

    rdm20fan : any idea if the trannys of the sc400 and the tt supra use the same case or not? i ask just because im wondering what the difference between the 2 trannys is, i imagine its just the gear ratios, but i thought id ask someone more knowledgable. pro240c : your point about the existing...

    SC400 to be faster then 400hp Vette?

    at the end of the day everyone has their own perferences. but i will say this, the only places in all out racing where superchargers are really used anymore is in the nhra or the ihra. and thats because both associations banned turbochargers out of competition because they gave their users an...

    500 rwhp Supra Vs. 500 rwhp SC400

    im taking the supra, slightly wider tyres, a little bit lighter. i cant see torque being an issue in this case. most 500ish hp supras make right around 500lbs/ft of torque too, the inline engine in the supra has a torque friendly stroke with its square design. i also believe the gear ratios in...

    SC400 to be faster then 400hp Vette?

    firstly id like to thank you for not thinking im being a **** for disagreeing with you, as that definitely wasnt my intention. like i said i was just speaking from my experience. but i do think its a big stretch to say that efi in north america is in its infancy. seeing as how many 7 second...

    SC400 to be faster then 400hp Vette?

    im not saying you cant run a cam(s) with lots of overlap. but your statement contradicts my experience as well as the reccomendation of any camshaft manufacturer i can think of, as well as most of north america's drag racing teams and their engines, past and present included. like i said, im not...

    SC400 to be faster then 400hp Vette?

    n/a and forced inductoin require different cam durations as well as the lower compression ratio you mentioned. a couple advantages of turbocharging over supercharging are a) its alot easier, as well as cheaper, to change boost levels of a turbocharger than a supercharger and b) ive had bad...
