    Centrifugal install, lemme see those fuseboxes

    Since I still can't decide between centrifugal, roots, or just a 1JZ swap, lemme see your centrifugal installs. The main deterrent that's kinda pushing me away from that is the few I've seen, the fuse box looks uber sloppy afterwards...kinda just hanging there and looking rigged. I'd like to...

    Is a 1uz worth parting out?

    I've decided to go to the dark side with a 1jz/r154 setup in my SC400 and have a spare v8 that I can't get rid of. Been trying to sell it forever, even a good package price with my IMF headers and still can't move in. Is it worth tearing apart to sell and make room for the 1jz? Do you guys...

    Anyone wanna take a stab at what power levels this will make?

    So I'm stuck in this dilemma of spending $ on a spare v8 for my SC400, or just selling those parts I have, and putting a 1JZ in with a single turbo, fmic, all that stuff. Here's the plan I had for the spare v8, if anyone has a similar setup, feel free to toss some hp/tq #s my way. I...

    Standalone ECU Attn Megasquirters who used the MS harness

    So I'm curious what you guys did who ran Megasquirt and it's own harness and chucked the stock ECU and harness about a few items on the 1UZ. What did you guys do about the starter, or is that harness wired separately from the fuel injection harness? I was also curious about the knock sensors...

    Standalone ECU Which Megasquirt do you recommend for me?

    I've got a 93 SC400 and a spare 1uz with much lower miles than what I've got. I want to clean up the spare, bolt on my headers, change the water pump/timing belt, etc before I put it in. The p/o of the motor hacked the wiring harness to death so there is no harness, and I really don't want to...

    92 400 wont run when warmed up

    So I might be getting a sweet deal on a friend's 400 if I can figure out the problem with it. If this is a common problem and is discussed elsewhere, if someone can link me, or give me the name of the problem, I'll be more than happy to search it. It's a 92 400, had the motor swapped with a...

    Trying to diagnose a charging system problem

    I posted this over on Club Lexus, but figured some people here might not read that forum and might be able to help, here's my original post: (more posted below my original thread) Ok so I'm cursed with the all too familiar battery warning light on the dash flickering on and off; and as of...

    Can someone check on a few vacuum line hookups for me?

    If you have a SC400, I need to know the locations 4 vacuum lines go. I just replaced my ps pump and alternator, and there are 2 sets of vacuum lines I'm not sure where they go back. If someone could go check where these lines go on their cars, I'd really appreciate the info. 2 of them are just...

    Need a part # for a ps high pressure line crush washer

    The step by step guide I found on the net for replacing the ps pump on my 93 SC400 said I need to replace the copper crush washer on the high pressure line when I put the new pump back in. The guy at the dealership said his computer came up with a few different parts and wasn't quite sure which...

    Wheel pics request (specific offset and size)

    Anyone got pics of 18" wheels on their SC that are 8.5" and 9.5" wide with 40 offset? I requested some pics on another Lexus forum to see what size tires guys suggested and some pics so I could see the sidewalls (don't want too bulgy or too stretche) and one of the guys said they're going to be...

    Which type of blower to choose...

    So I'm kinda tossing around the idea of blowing my SC400. I see the centrifugal types like the Vortechs with the fish bracket, and I see some with the roots style that takes the place of the upper intake manifold. Is there a major price difference between all parts associated with either type...
