It seems like a bad starter. The starter supposes to stick out its gear and spin. That gear will engage to the flywheel and turn the engine. If it spins and doesn't turn the engine, then it's probably bad. However, before taking it out, try to put in a full power battery. A weak battery may be a...

Sean, are you leaving the SC? Good luck on your new journey!

Good luck on the sale! I like your car very much, but I already have a turbo SC4. I hope this car will go into a good hand who knows how to take care of it.

You may not want to use those spacers. They don't have hub centric bore. You'll have great risk of breaking the wheel studs and will lead to accident.

Sorry to hear of your accident. :o At least you're ok to go on the forum. :p I thought your turbo pipes were designed and fit perfectly. However, I understand this type of project usually has some surprises in engineering. That's the spirit of it, but don't give up. lol.

I never used Holset, but if you'll go with a Garrett, you can get a T4 60-1 or bigger such as 62-1.

David is really missing the jerks from a turbo V8 torque. :D

Do you mean the steel black crossmember? I just want to clarify before I measure it.

I don't think there's any refurbished sc headlight out there. You can refurbish it by yourself. To open up the lense housing, don't use the oven. Use a heat gun instead, so that you can control the heat while prying out the lense housing. The exterior coat of the light is probably not good...

It looks like a 2UZ with lots of modifications. :D

Nice car! The stance is just right on.

Put a nice body kit, rims and coilover on it and your wife won't bother on the Charger anymore.

Ebay has a lot of sockets for those torx studs. The 2 nuts method should work easily if the engine is outside.

I like nylon braided hose more than ss braided hose. It's easier to work with.

I wouldn't use divided turbine housing. It restricts the exhaust flow. Power is 1 thing, but restricted exhaust flow will cause overheating, not to mention backpressure that hurts power.

That's awesome! All about off-roading. Some struggle more than the others. I wonder if there's a vehicle with a 1UZFE powering it.

I used aftermarket rear main seal without problem. I forgot what the brand was. Just coat some high temp gasket maker (same one for the oil pan) around the seal and press it in. It should stay and seal it forever. :p

It's good to mention the LS has a different exhaust angle from the SC. John, you're the exhaust man. Lol. From the LS exhaust design with less restriction, I think it flows better than the SC. Also, the gear ratio of the LS may be the reason it's faster at low end than the SC. Supposedly...

APEXI safc with 315cc injectors is a better way to go. The other FMU route is an economical setup, although it's still good enough to handle low boost.
