Well i think the headers made me lose alittle torque on the 400 but i think the 430 helped give me alittle back. I need to get it on the dyno now to see.

Well billyb that radiator doesnt quit bolt up, there is alittle modding to do. Ill post up my stuff soon.

im running a 19x8 & 19x9's. F tires 235/35 & 275/30. So with a .5" more front & rear you should be able to fit 245 front easy & 285 rear easy. That 285 probably pricey.

And she's done. There's only one more thing to get. She needs a new badge, she's not a 400 any more.

Decided to get the cam gear covers & the valve covers powder coated too. Had to do alittle modding to make the hydro fan bolt up to the radiator.

New water pump & oil pump, cause your there.

2 pics of spun bearing, notice all the other rods are golden & 6&7 are black & there is not suppose to be a gap on the rod cap. 98 SC400 vvt-i pistons, heads, & intake manifold (inside).

You like that, I thought it fit good. Im going to copy/paste my pics from my CL thread, there might be some duplicates.

Here is a quick exhaust clip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13eCgQWH7nM

SHE's ALIVE & running strong. Ill update more later.

Cool will do. Thanks again lex.

Well everybody, just like lex said. "Im 100% it will work". Spun her over like 4 times, by hand & no valve interferance. I was alittle nervous. Ok so I probably would have had the motor completely together today, BUT had a little set back. Im using www.techinfo.toyota.com for my heads/cams...

#1 check & #4 check. For some strange reason my thermostat is a weird size, every autoparts store & even the toyota dealership cant match my thermostat to the one they show to fit my car,so i havent been able to change that since i got the car, it still works fine. Hoses are good too.

She's finally going back together. New oil & water pump. Just cause, I want it to be the newest I can afford to be.

I can save you alot of time & labor, really easy to send cash lol.

Im not sure if this is the canister that you were talking about, but this sits under the intake manifold & has vaccum hoses that run to the diaphram that control the 8 butterflies inside the intake manifold.

L O L that right there kinda just went over my head, but makes sense. I dont know much about adjusting fuel pressure, & making sure it stays right. Im glad im not having to do this on my build. I like having returnless & no egr on the vvt-i, Less stuff to have to mess with, when having to do a...

did you already find you gated shifter assembly?

Its going slow, with ordering wrong bearings, then getting the right ones & then half of them are F'ed up cause TOYOTA doesnt package them seperatly, the bottom bearing in the package is all scratched up from the top bearing,so i made 5 good bearings out of 7 & ordered 4 more so that i could...

Yes & Yes. I dont think you will have to change the linkage rod on the tranny, but the hole shifter assembly is a must. I guess its gonna be a race between me & you. To see who is gonna have there vvt-i installed first. I guess you gonna have to replace the whole engine harness. There is a...
