quick93hb Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 What is all needed? It's obvious the motor, trans, ecu, pedal assembly. Are the axles and what not the same? new wiring? What are the main differences it swapping it into a 400 compared to a 300. I heard the mounts were different, but I can just buy new sc300 mounts right? Help!

Mr. Curious Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 why not just boost the 1uzfe? a good 2jzgte will run you around $5k anyways. are looking for something with a 6 speed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzz30 Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 not much else is different. placement of some of the things under the hood are a bit different. and wiring in the gte is probably different compared with the ge and 1uz meaning chassis wiring is different. but maybe its not becasue the last time i looked at the manual the body connectors were all written the same. and i just helped my friend put in a black interior in his 300 and all of the electrical things from the 400 connected up and worked fine. so it might not be that different.

quick93hb Posted September 11, 2004 Author Share Posted September 11, 2004 I guess I can boost the factory motor, but how much would it run? what kind of different turbo setups am I looking at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quick93hb Posted September 11, 2004 Author Share Posted September 11, 2004 Also, I know the motor is capable of more HP, but how much is the transmission capable of withholding with a turbo kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCF3 Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 The SC400 can't be turbo'd very easily. From what I've learned, a company in Australia built a Supercharger kit for the 4.0.

The easiest way to do this is to get a Sc300 harness and run an AEM instead of the factory ECU. Factory ECU will work fine as well, but I just love my AEM and couldn't see going turbo and keeping the factory box.

bean_8044 Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 Theres a few people on another forum that are doing the turbo SC400 route. I think theres even one that has a TT SC400. Costs are around 5-6k and you may need to give up the A/C depending on how you do it. Didnt Lextreme do a turbo LS400? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
