    small amount of pull left/right on secondary roads and balljoints question

    When I'm on Louisiana State Hwy 8 (a secondary road with those ruts left from loads of 18 wheeler trucks traveling it), my car tends to want to pull left sometimes and right other times. The steering wheel stays pretty much straight, but I can feel the car wanting to go left or right. On newer...

    Are there any Blower Intercoolers developed?

    Would the adaptronic ecu do the on off thing? Can it be set for normal and power mode based on a switch setting (the console mounted ECT transmission switch) through the adaptronic ecu you think?

    Are there any Blower Intercoolers developed?

    I saw your setup and it looked nice, but complicated to get to the original belt. Do I really need a dedicated belt for it? Is the reason to reduce slippage? I'd like to keep it as simple and as clean (low clutter) looking as possible. I was looking at the opcon on rich technologies...

    Infinity G35 Rims on my 96 SC400. . .what do you think, spacers?

    That looks good. I'm going to use your pictures as a reference to get mine built. One question, though. What about the discs for the brakes? Where are they?

    Whirring sound coming from drivetrain.

    Alright, I've been having this problem with my 96 sc400 with 217500 miles on it and I was hoping someone could shine some light on the subject for me. When I'm going less than 30 mph there is this whirring sound that decreases in frequency the slower I go. I can feel the sound through the...

    Are there any Blower Intercoolers developed?

    The more I think about it, the more I want to go with a supercharger setup. It has a lot of advantages for my own needs. . . 1. even power distrobution 2. easier to find parts for 3. Easier to mount/bolt on power 4. more reasonably priced Now, the only drawbacks I see are 1. the boost is...

    Fan relocation in sc400

    It's not that I don't want to use the FI setup. It's just that I won't be needing continuous boost. If I could drive 160 all the way to work, I may need continuous boost. Speed limits are 55, even out here in the country, and the roads I travel aren't the best so 65 to 70 (and that's pushing it...

    Tragedy..

    I know where an sc300 is right now. it is damaged in the front right fender, though. Pretty low milage w/only 121000 miles. A mechanic owned it.

    Fan relocation in sc400

    cool, thanks for the info. I just thought that at normal highway speed under no boost conditions it would be close to a natually aspirated engine. It uses that much more fuel even when boost isn't on?

    Tragedy..

    That's sad. I don't loan my car to ANYONE. Most toyota built cars are very strong, though. Hope you had full coverage.

    Fan relocation in sc400

    When will it be available? Is this kit going to be better than a supercharger alternative? Is the major benefit of turbo increased fuel economy aside from the higher boost potential? How do I get my hands on this kit and do you know what the cost will be? I'm assuming its a single turbo. I know...

    Anyone find any turbo manifolds for the SC400 yet?

    Any idea when these will be ready? I'm interested in them if they will work for my 96 sc400. Any idea on the price yet?

    Now for the Most Ridiculous Item of the Day. . .electric supercharger

    LOL. What's amazing is that some of the people who replied via feedback actually praised the product. I personally don't really see how it could help. Its not even a cold air intake, so I'd think that it actually may hurt performance by sucking in hot air.
