Sorry 4U2Quik, just sold it to Lex. I had some errands to run and it took me literally a block from his house. 4.7L is now sold. Adaptronic e420c is still available after dealing with a low baller today.

Its not PnP but it has a 3 foot loom already attached. I recall that Kc95 has a PnP loom he was trying to sell a while back. Its not too hard to wire up. Cobber has a thorough wiring guide and its about 20-25 wires total to get the engine running.

its murrieta which is an hour south of Los Angeles. Im planning to leave it at my parents house so it isnt going anywhere. When the time comes and you would like to pick it up, I can setup a time and a place even though I will be in michigan. Anything aside from the engine can be shipped.

Update: spare heads (sold) oem transmission (sold) lextreme high stall torque convertor (sold) sc400 shell (sold to wrecker) Price drop for 4.7L hybrid: $800 cash

I have owned 3 early 90's LS's and I never found a straightforward balljoint replacement. Lexus always forces you to buy the entire arm with the joint. If its pressed in, you can count on lexus to force you to grab the rest of the arm. However, I know you can find polyurethane bushings to...

Well I finally finished my degree and im about to upgrade to a vvti GS400 as my DD. I just got hired working at the Ford headquarters in Dearborn Michigan so I will be moving in a few weeks. I need to consolidate all my projects that never really materialized very soon so my modded sc400 and...

Serious yes, but just speculating. I got to thinking that using a simple grease zert would make maintanence a breeze but new tech almost always has a compromise. Now on the flip side, if the entire turbo needs to be removed from the engine and disassembled, my tune would obviously change. Even...

I like that the bearings are re greasable. Thats definently a big selling point. If the turbo is top mount, changing the grease every 2 weeks or so doesnt sound to laborsome. I always wanted to give turbocharging a try and the idea of not requiring oil feed/drain lines w/ tuned restrictor...

I guess I read the AFR right side of the graph as if it was referring to the 400+kw line. I read the plot thinking that the 400kw was at a super lean 17:1. My mistake, got the x/y jumbled up

Hey FoPar, if you ran E98 instead of 85, would you end up with even less of a fuel requirement than the standard 98? I got to thinking and wondered if E98 had more energy value or is it just detonation threshhold?

... am I reading this correctly ?? 17:1 afr? Thats mad lean! My uz popped when my gauge read that high but then again I was a bit mad that day :rolleyes: Amazing power Justin, and im guessing on E85/E98? If its ethanol, and you successfully pulled that much power at that AFR... im sold on the...

Power wise that would really fit the bill. What really made my eyes fixate was the quattro AWD and the 0.89g of grip from the factory. That AWD would be VERY useful to me as I drive to the ski resorts evewry season and traction is a selling point for me. Also that engine is bliss... Naturally...

Yep :). By then I can start shopping newer lexus's or whatever. I hate to go to the dark side but all day today I have been really eyeing a 2001 audi S8. They go for about $9,000 used these days. I will most likely keep it toyota but my eyes have been wandering :cool:

I think im on the the same page Zuffen. I have been waiting for importation paperwork for a couple weeks now and the idle time is how I came to giving this a try. I will most likely just leave the car alone until my career starts and I can afford a replacement. I have a set of 19" rims with...

LP1: Light throttle bog is more than likely from the stock ecu + 315cc's. I would throw a wideband on it and i would be willing to bet its super rich until you step on it, effectively bringing the AFR from a super rich state to a more managable level. also, if your pushing any more than 6psi...

Been covered in previous posts... injectors are already unplugged with the plugs. Already tried this and it works.

If you read the pervious posts I do not care about power. I plan to unplug only for long commutes where I only see 55mph anyway. Easiest/cheapest way to save mpg is to drive slower... and the easiest way to do that is to leave earlier so you can drive casually.

yeah it bolts up just fine. Its coming off of a 3uz which is the same casting as the 2uz and 1uz... all 3 have the same bell housing. I would assume an aftermarket trans controller should be able to control the 5 or 6 speed but nobody has stepped up and given it a try.

I have installed 2 seibon hoods. 1 OEM and this vented type. Both had flawless fitment, perfect weave, and yes, they can be painted. The vents can be a bit flexy but as long as your not sliding across the hood like Starsky & Hutch, they are plenty strong.

I just installed the seibon TS-II hood on my sc and man it does wonders for underhood temps. The day it was installed the temps were 105 outside. I went for a drive and at stop lights I could see waves of heat rushing up out of the vents... which are positioned directly above your turbos, or my...
