Selling a 92 sc400, it is a project car ie, needs interior and paint. Tires are old and needs a battery. Engine has 200k with original tranny. Hasn't been registered in over a year, fees are about $200. Have title. The engine is in great shape, hauled really good and the tranny shifted fine as...

For the boost level Im looking for, as well as, fitment what turbo size would you recommend. Im seeing that the t3/t4 68 a/r might be to small. I was thinking that the smaller size would help build boost faster given that it will have to travel a further distance from the rear to the engine. I'm...

So Stevechumo, what your saying is that I can run boost from the turbo, to the MAF sensor, to the engine? That is what I'm hoping for that way I was going to run the air filter from the trunk to the turbo (that's in the wheel well). -Lextreme I'm hoping to have everything ready in about a...

Hey guys, I'm getting ready to start my remote turbo set up for my sc400. I decided to go with a single turbo versus a twin set up, simpler to install in the wheel well (after slight modification) and to run a single oil feed line with a surflo pump to return it versus having to lines. Where the...

Why go through all that hassel to switch a v8 sc400 into a L6, why not just get a sc300 and get a turbo kit off of ebay for $1500 and install yourself.

That is a very good point, but I would like to experience how to make this set up so I could perhaps do this to other cars that I have, like my 73 lincoln mark iv with a blow through carb. Plus, personally I like the sound of the V8.

I won't have any problem resorting to use junkyard parts to keep parts cost done.

For the mean time, 5-7psi is about all I want. I know that a stock comp can handle that. Need all funds available for the fabrication just incase it goes over $1000. In the future I may start adding more hardware. Just looking for a decent increase in power for now.

I wouldn't mind cutting into the spare tire well if needed for added clearence. Also for exhaust, I'm thinking about keeping the stock diameter but removing all resonators just leaving the cats (newer high flow) to increase exhaust flow.

That would depend where I mount the turdos though. I think replacing the mufflers would be better. I haven't lowered the car so clearence might be good. Could I mount a skid plate underneath for protection?

Back to the original question, what would be a good size turbo to install. I was surfing the net and I saw how they removed both mufflers off a corvette, and put two smaller turbos in place. Could this be done as well with the sc400? Would a twin-turbo set up be good or should I just stick to a...

I think that if you intend on having your engine at high rpm a lot of the time then you could be in trouble with oil build up in the turbo, I don't think for street use you will see much problem.

Are you saying that at high rpm the turbo will be oil starved.

I live up in Palmdale, but I go to LA lot. I have talked to a couple of guys who had build there own system, one guy came into my old work (about two years ago) and showed me his neon he had built a turbo set up for, ran about 5lbs. Total cost was under a grand. It was very basic mainly used and...

You are correct about low boost. But I also should of disclosed that I would want the option of raising boost to higher levels (12psi or higher)with the same application in the future, funds permitting of coarse. From what I have research it seems that a lot of people preffer a turbo over...

The website originally gave me the motivation to build this setup. I just think it sucks that there is no set up fot the sc400. And I know there is hardly any info on this. I agree with sts That it would be simpler to mount a turbo in the rear of a car. So that is why I am asking you guys...

I going to try to build a low boost rear mount turbo, very basic, hoping to make about 5-7 psi. What would be a good choice for a turbo size, I know the t3/t4 is what a lot of poeple use for regular apps. Would a single or twin set up be better. Keep in mind that I would probably have to end up...

Please help!!! The problem I am having is that my 92 sc400 idles high at warm up, about 1800rpm, then when at proper temperature, the car idles up and own from almost 2000rpm then it drops down to 600 or so doing over and over every second. I took apart the idle speed control and checked the...

any luck finding these bearings at the local autozone?

Thanks bro, you saved my hide.
