Ok, here's another question. What about cams for an engine with 180-degree headers? Do they use the same cams that regular headers use? Based on the articles that I've read (based on the links posted and some of my own research, and you can correct me if I'm wrong), regularly cammed V8s use a...

I would just need to modify the loom from the HKS USDM Supra Harness. Not a big deal. Or I can get a custom adaptor that's repinned for my ECU, since the SC400 and Supra turbo harness are like 2 pins off.

Sweet...time to re-do my budget...

It's a 1UZ VVTi motor. Great buy for $1K. Does that come with all of the harnesses for the engine? If it does, someone should jump on this. I would've but I've got a 1UZ...

A 2UZ coming out of a 1998 SC400? Aren't 2UZ's truck motors that come in the LX470, GX470, Tundra, and the like? I thought that the 98-00 car motors were VVTi 1UZs...Did someone swap one into this SC400?

Don't you mean 1UZFE? ;-)

cribbj, Has anyone had that clutch in a car and driven yet? I currently have that clutch in my budget, but I wanted to keep my eyes open for other options. Making a custom flywheel for an already available clutch like the WOTM one would be about the same price, and I know that that...

Awesome info...thanks. EDIT: I have a question on your second proposal. Will the 2JZ flywheel make up the distance from the transmission and the engine? Like, let's say I wanted to use WOTM single disk clutch, will it be close enough to even engage the transmission?

Sent you a PM.

Yeah, I really screwed that up. There was one out of a wrecked WRX in Australia that started at $200. I think it ended up at like $310. Stupidest decision I never made...

How would you define reasonably priced? I'm thinking on picking up an HKS F-Con V Pro or an AEM EMS off of eBay, as I've seen several for really good prices (one HKS was $200, I just didn't have the money to pick it up at that time...stupid). I will be using the V160.

Great! Work out all of the bugs for me! LOL j/k

The tube you're talking about is going in the exhaust, correct? Like an X-Pipe for a mustang? Do you think the same thing would happen if I combine the exhausts in a y-pipe before the cat?

Ok. Thank you for the response.

Right or left is a turbo collector? I pasted the one from Burns Stainless website, which is a turbo collector with a V-Band connector, on the far left. The reason I posted it is...well...I'm doing turbos :-) OK, just so I make sure I understand, if you number left - right 1 - 4, 1 is the...

Interesting ideas, Thomas. I want a screamer for my car. So what you're basically saying is to design my own muffler? Hmm, interesting concept...I don't know how well I'd do, but I'm sure I can come up with something. On the collectors, which one do you think is better? The mufflers I...

Alright, Day 3. I have most of everything off of the longblock. All the accessories, exhaust manifolds, intake manifolds, most of the covers etc. Some pictures: I get some more time tomorrow night to be in the garage, so I'll hopefully get to pull the rest of the block apart and get the...

Well, if you are right about those turbos, that might knock off $500 from the "get the stupid car running" fund...err, actually it might just divert it to the $580 more that I would spend on Cams...oh well, penny saved. Thanks for the advice.

Woah...that sucks...guess I'll keep looking.

OK, Day 2 update...not very much. I didn't even take pictures because I didn't get too far in the 2 hours or so that I was working. Got the fuel rails, and injectors out, driver's exhaust manifold. If anyone needs any of these items, please let me know. More updates as I work. Thanks for...
