gogo_sc300 Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 Does anyone know if someone has put the 4.3 v-8 in an old SC platform? Just thought it might be an interesting project.
SKperformance Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 Don't know of it but if an IS can fit the 430 engine with some mods then why not as it uses the same 3.0L motor
SAMOHT023 Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 Even though it may be possible, there is no advantage. The money and effort could be put into forced induction on the current motor with better results.
jzz30 Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 same could have been said for the IS...but there is no replacement for displacement ;)
Bandit Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 I think SAM is refering to force induction of the SC400. There is a kit from Australia that is about $5,000 that increased HP by about 30%. That's 350 HP.
sc_toy Posted September 17, 2004 Posted September 17, 2004 The only thing I would swap out the 1UZ-FE for would be the Toyota 5.0L V12, if I could get one over here. Man that'd be a one of a kind, I'd hate to have to get parts for it though... Aaron
Theodore Posted September 18, 2004 Posted September 18, 2004 i saw on the discovery channel the IS modification. it showed how they got the 430 to fit in the IS. CoooooooooooL show trying to find it,
Lextreme Posted September 19, 2004 Posted September 19, 2004 from 3.0 to 4.3 is a big change. From 4.0 to 4.3... not worth the money and problems.... FI the V8
Mr. Curious Posted September 19, 2004 Posted September 19, 2004 id rather have a how to on how to swap the vvti heads onto a non vvti 1uzfe. 40hp and 40tq.
jzz30 Posted September 21, 2004 Posted September 21, 2004 i wonder if thats possible. thats probably expensive because you need to get all the ecu and stuff and do wiring. you might as well get a vvt-i motor or go with the original plan with the 3uz
Mr. Curious Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 hell lets just shove a bigblock in there summit has a nice merlin 509 for $7500. :D
jzz30 Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 thats what im talking about! lets stick a blower on there too! so whos up to being the department of finance here?
