  1. That is freakin sweet does it do that for the 300's as well....omg if it does there is always something new i learn about these cars.....GOD they are so bad !Removed!!!!!
  2. Ok so i am getting this argument from my friend.... i am getting the boost logic na-t kit....pricey but not bad.... now the question is do i need a vpc or will i be ok with my stock maf sensor?? i didnt think you had to get one...so your thoughts???
  3. im not positive, but i dont ever remember hearing of a twn turbo kit for the 400, i have heard of a super charger. that job sounds like custom work. i had a web address with the superchager ill post it if i find it
  4. Ok here we go... When i start my car in hot or cold weather, it will idle at about 1600 rpms(warm weather) or 18,1900rpms(cold weather) the thing is it will stay there until the car is at normal operating temp..which can take a good few mins, i know this is not normal, any suggestions on fixing this? is there an idler sensor or something to that nature that would be the problem?
  5. I hope you dont have a year preferance....the newer the SC...the less chance you have to find a manual...good luck with the search(Patience!!), if you do find one in decent shape take it....it is def worth the wait
  6. not to be petty and keep an argument going that is completely up to personal preferance, however modifying a car is just that personal preferance. anything you do to "Modify" a vehicle will have both positive and negative results. Yes the EGR system is more in depth than i once thought, however i removed the system, my car is not pinging or knocking, the temp seems to be fine, and the response gain....minimal but apparent. Im taking my chance on this mod just like others do with NA-T, or AFC's, if it works it works, if i notice problems associated with this than, fine i was way off, i made a mistake and ill reinstall the Egr system. So thankyou everyone for the insight of Pro's, Con's and how this thing works, i def learned from this topic things i never knew, so if anyone has done this mod to there NA or NA-T, lemme know what you think, Your 97 5spd dedicated Lexus owner, J_lee84sc
  7. wow...i just wanted to know if it is damaging to the engine, after checking out a few sites like mkiv and a few others, there is no damage to be done by removing the egr system, if you are going for stock thats great, i just want some added performance and a solution at the expense of not being stock, i think ill manage
  8. thanks for the advice i think i will just reroute the lines so i dont waste money on overpriced plates, but will my check engine light ever go off if i do that?
  9. my check engine light is on and they say to change my EGR valve..i considred it but then i saw the block off plates...if i do those will i lose substantial gas milage, and will the check engine light stay off if i put those on????

  12. ok here it is...my evaporator is still out, so i need to find a book or guide anything on how to get to it and remove it, i dono where the hell it is or my cabin air filter. and the accumulator and expansion valve....then the seals behind my cam gears are bad...leaking oil, so i need to find out how to get the cams off and not throw my timing, plus change my timing tensioner and bearing....any and all help will not go forgotten...she needs to run smooth..please help her in a time of need!!!!
  13. here are some pics given to me by member soarer479 light removal
  14. dono if it is the same as the 300 but u have to go through the wheel well...turn the wheels all the way one direction take a few screws off the wheel well, pull it back and u need a ratchet extension to get to the bolts, then u have to pull it out by shimmy'ing it left and right , then kinda tug upwards, they are 10mm bolts if im not mistaken..good luck ill try and find this sight with pics
  15. isnt that that crazy animal in mexico that kills goats...mythical at best if im not mistaken?? the goat killer....they had an x-file show about it awhile ago...i think he's cool!!
  16. I have a 97 sc300, i got some nice NZO rims, 18x9 rear, and 17x8 front...i want to lower my car a lil in the rear and more in the front to give it that slant look, but i dont wanna sacrafice my wonderful soft suspension...what can i doo so that i keep the suspension as close to stock as possible...is there a tein kit(preferably) that i can do?? to lower and keep a nice smooth ride? possibly using their edfc unit?
  17. i work for carmax and one just happen to come through there... very hard to find, i suggest having a specialty shop do it...u can get the trans for 500-700$$, and the other componets for a lil more... expect to throw down 1800-2500 for the swap...or keep searching...good luck
  18. dude....HID's make this car look so mean...they sell a kit for the supra on ebay for like 250....and here is a link to a badass one from wotm... ' HID There is a 6000 and 8000 kit, they are bad !Removed!....it tells you a lil about each onr too...good luck
  19. IM TAKING MY EVAPORATOR OUT! so anyone ever done this before..if so any pointers and where o where under my dash is it? i need to know before i dissasemble the whole interior front end.
  20. my evaporator is out of commission...will a supra one work in my car??? i cant seem to find that answer anywhere..i even called a local lexus service center and the guy was like uhhhh??? save me somebody!!!!
  21. i know in my 300 it is for auto lights, if it looks like a small glass circle.
  22. also if you want to make getting to them super easy just take out your headlamps it keeps you from having to crawl under the car and remove the mudguard and guess where the bolts are...to get the haedlamps out(stupid easy go to this web site) http://www.reepa.com/headlight.htm courtesy soarer479.... this is the easiest way i think.
  23. correct me if i am wrong but dont most cat back exhaust systems start after the first cat?? becausethe first cat is connected to the pipe that connects to the exhaust manifold right?
  24. it looks good to me, i cant tell if it is stock pipe size or bigger... it will sound hot though...try borla's website too they have a bad !Removed! kit for hte 300 and the 400 too i believe. and it is around that price range...jsut have it delived to your house...my friend got a whole system for his supra and it was delivered to a local shop...we had to borrow someones truck to get it home the box is huge!!
