    Carbon Buildup

    anybody have a link to those seafoam products? My LS400 needs a good engine flush and carbon cleanup + tune-up. there's some vibrations when idling and gas consumption is not as good as my SC400 (I'm doing 12-13L/100km on highway) Also, anybody can tell me where i can find a cheap set of...

    HP gains by passing TB coolant line?

    sure it is, but do the math 500CFM (est.) passing trough this hole, deleting the coolant line won't reduce your intake charge temp of 10 degrees. actually, you could use this line to cool down your TB. use 2 lines, a small pump and a small PC radiator plus fan could be a nice little cooling...

    HP gains by passing TB coolant line?

    If you want better intake temp get a cold air intake system Build some phenolic intake spacer/gasket to not transfer the engine's temp to the intake, bypass your TB line. Now you will probably have some small gains. phenolic gaskets will provide better gains since heat transfers is what...

    HP gains by passing TB coolant line?

    0.0002 % of 1 HP ? i think the most of the gain will come from your butt dyno, wich might not be very accurate.

    Buying an LS400 need advice.....

    As is posted in another post www.lexls.com in 91 they've got the twin pistons front calipers (same as the SC). and changes are described there from year1 to today. the SC400 with good pads and slotted rotors brakes pretty well, since there's not much difference in weight of the 2 cars, i...

    Dedicated LS400 site?

    I know, but i can't afford to wait, because i absolutely needs to sell the cressida. And 5000$ LS400's doesn't wait very long before they are gone here. Specially one in this condition (don,t forget we've got winter, winter = rust) I've seen a few 90-93 LS and this one is the cleanest i've...

    Dedicated LS400 site?

    I'll buy it and drive it but won't build it :P I have enough wich my wrecked SC400. In fact, the reason of my wallet tells me to not buy it, but my heart screams louder. It's soooo much smoother than a cressida, wider, more comfortable. And since my Cressida has shaved doors, i guess i'll have a...

    The new LS460

    Test drive http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iipzmSASVBg Lextreme, i think you'll have to build a performance torque converter for this one's too... man, it's sluggish when he floors the first gear. At least there's the 8 speed trans to help achieving fast a take-off. BTW, did everyone saw...

    reliable 1000hp?

    I wouldn't go turbo, i'd go Twin Rotrex superchargers. reliable 1000HP don't forget you've got a 4.0 liter engine. Lot of money can make lot of things

    Dedicated LS400 site?

    1UZ-FE to SC400

    it'd be easier to swap internals i think and keep the block/head combo. VVT-I is not hell, but the lightweight pistons and rods are weak that's true.

    Looking for a SC400 - Need some help!

    1UZ is not that hard to work on. removing acessories is a piece of cake. doing a tune-up is about a 1.5 hour job because you need to remove the air tube between the box and tb. it's not a 4 cylinders but i bet it's easier to work on than a FWD V6
