:thinkerg: would that be to compensate for a heavily lowered geometry? NVH is noise-vibration-harshness ... engineering term

swapping out the mounts for harder polybush sway mounts will also make the sway bar effect come in sooner, taking up the slop of worn softer rubber bushes. I know you can do the whole car in poly, but sway mounts alone shouldnt have any NVH issues as a compromise.

DHP = Dynamic Handling Pack .. you'll find good pictures and some description here... http://retrorides.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=FSW&action=display&thread=70200&page=1 But the story goes like this... The Chief Honcho at Lexus UK is obliged to drive the top lexus available at all times...

In the uk we have a special model MkIV ... DHP, I've bought one last weekend, transforms the drive, unbelievable more responsive, much quicker to turn in.. im blown away, more improvement than I expected. That acheives the turn in by a 1mm thicker rear anti roll bar.. SO out of interest...

FastEgg., I'm in the same boat as you, I had LSD rwd motors and moved to an LS400 vvti, shame to see the VSC light everytime the wheel is past 2'oclock and the pedal is past a 1/4. I have also been researching this and a Torsen T1 from a mk4 supra TT AT or NA should fit.. 200mm crown ring...

ohh and a link to the bar spacer method. http://forums.turbobricks.com/showthread.php?t=108965

I really am new to the specifics of auto's but I am drawing on knowledge from other fields. With that in mind, a stupid question.. the later 5speed ECT, uses solenoids to control shift patterns. Do they still have accumulators that can be 'shift kit'-ed or do the solenoids do the work? At a...

On here i have heard of shift kits and read a description of fitting a washer under the accumulator spring. Another method i have found from a Volvo site was to fit a bar insert inside the spring, barely a 1/4" shorter than the spring itself. Both methods reduce the time it takes the...

Well if i work to 500whp.. can always redo the project later if needs be and tune/changeout for higher. I have tried to have a good read around to answer my own questions, but I think all I have acheived is confusion. Seems a lot of my issues come from this being a VVTi with a later 5peed...

I think my conufsion is that there might be a 350 and a 650 gearbox. I do have a 5 speed box thats for sure. I hope to get to 500WHP sorry for the confusion there. A charger like that would be a little wasted otherwise. Thanks for all your pointers SPF (y)

Okay I'm with you now. The early rods do look a lot stronger and according to whats written about them will be plenty strong enough for my prospective whp. There is a post here about upgraded billet sprag clutches for 650 gearbox, is that the box i am likely to have in my LS. Unlike the owner...

the later model has vvti which makes it quite a bit more powerful.. when supercharging, does the VVTi advantage matter less? or would it be well worth using a '93 block and a VVTi head with a SC. cheaper obviously just to use a nice low mileage 1993 engine. I will head to the storage in a few...

I already have the charger, from a late model AMG Merc SL55, 20k miles IHI Japan twinscrew Lysholm unit, Has a waterpump built into the nose and a charge cooler unit strapped underneath. Can get to my garage and take a shot of it if it helps? its huge, really needs a 6l engine to use it, but I...

Its a 1998 vvti Ls400, I want to charge it, but keep automatic tranny. I have a bike for grabbing at gears, just want the LS to be a smooth beast. It has the later 5 speed box, what kind of power can these take before destructing? I have the option to put 20psi boost into this 1uzfe-vvti so...
