Always worth testing the o2 sensors too, especially if you're not using the factory exhaust manifolds. http://www.lextreme.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14008

would it be a bad knock sensor?

USA spec SC400 had 4 o2 sensors as far as I know. Your Japanese Soarer engine only had 2.

A Soarer v8 engine doesn't have a 2nd set of o2 sensors. It only has primarys & cat overheat sensors. I think you can safely delete the overheat sensors.

Dunno. Not really sure what pick n pull is. In UK, if it's not fit for purpose, you take it back and get an exchange - even if it's a 2nd hand engine from a scrap yard.

Can't you just take it back and ask for another?

This is *exactly* what happened to me too. I got a 2 box system with a balance pipe rather than the 3 box system I asked for. It was loud and performed badly. I took it back and this time he tried to save time/money by fitting a centre twin in/out silencer & keeping the balance pipe. Now it was...

Exactly. The 1-wire units have a signal wire & ground through the body of the sensor itself. The 3 wire work in the same way but also have 2 wires (12v & ground) for the heater circuit. You can just wire this up to an ignition live + ground. The 4 wire units are also the same, except that the...

You could contact Smiffie & see if he can help you with the Soarer stuff http://www.smiffies-soarer-sanctuary.com/

lol, ok :D

I don't get how a Supra with a v8 in it is worth that money, yet a Soarer with a v8 in it is worth next to nothing. That car doesn't even look very nice imo.

sods law, innit? :P

also the numbers after UZZ tell you what base model it is.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Soarer#UZZ30.2C_UZZ31_and_UZZ32_Soarer

I don't know what they mean but you could look it up here... http://www.toyodiy.com/parts/q?vin=UZZ30-ACPVK

Guys, I have a Soarer v8 fitted with Rush headers. I decided to test my o2 sensors & they didn't appear to be working at all so I bought and fitted some new universal 1-wire units. After all, the original ones were over 150k miles old, so I figured it was time for replacement anyway. However...

Thanks for the information guys. I've read conflicting information about just what you need to trim off the caliper. Casting flash, or rough edges I don't mind trimming, but I've read in other places that you have to cut the support webbing for the mounting tab. If that's not the case then I...

Guys, one thing I'm still uncertain of - are the LS400 calipers a direct bolt on to an SC400/Soarer or do they need mods? And you use equivalent LS400 brake disks? What size wheel do you need? 16", 17" ? Thanks :)
