Yeah, I know a site where you can get a 7" touchscreen for about $400-500

What you'll have to do though, is buy a compact computer, load software on it and have the output hook upto the tv. Those touchscreen TVs are made to be used with a computer, so it should be an easy setup. You can easily put together a small computer for about $300-600 depending on what you'll want to use with it. Its nice because you can store movies on there and play them with the tv. Same goes with MP3s, games, etc.

Put everything together, and your probably looking at about $900-$1200 for everything.

Downside= You will have to spend another $150 or so for an amplifier to hook upto your stock speakers, spend even more if you want to have a radio in there, because you will have to remove your stock HU to put the screen there.

Just wait for Boostlogic's turbo kit that will be coming out shortly. I hear it will be about $4000.

Hmm... http://planetsoarer.com has the BFI (big ***king intake). It's basically a do-it-yourself cold air somewhat ram intake. The site claims a 17hp increase. It costs less than 20 dollars. This is for the sc300 and 400. A knowledgeable person here would also recommend a torque convertor. It won't give you horsepower but it'll shift gears faster and maybe it won't rob as much hp as oem. An exhaust might help in conjunction with the intake. Although you might not get as much with exhaust, it'll sound faster (gets in your head). You can also try camshafts for exhaust. There might be cam gears for sc400, not sure, but there are for sc300. Those are basically most of the major N/A upgrades.

a Torque Converter wont make your automatic shift faster, but it will increase the stall speed to whatever you choose, and it will greatly improve 0-60 acceleration. A Valve Body Recalibration would improve the faster shifting, but it doesnt give as much gains, just improves the life of the tranny by reducing heat.

Ive done my research, and a 50-75 wet shot would be a very inexpensive route for added power. Anything above 75 would require an upgraded fuel pump if your looking for a safe setup.

hehe, I deleted it because i figured out that it would really kill performance N/A by lowering compression. Im sure colder plugs, upgraded fuel pump, gauges and a AFC controller would help prevent detonation :D

thx for the info, helped alot.

bump, anyone?????

BTW, which nitrous setup is most fail-proof/safe? Wet, dry, or direct port?

Ive heard that direct port is very expensive, but how much total typically for a setup for direct port w/ install?

Ok, the last few years ive been more into nissan/infiniti and mostly like the I30 and the maximas, mainly because of the VQ30DE engine. Now i know the VQ is able to handle alot of power, upto 400-500 range easily, but its FWD. Lately Ive noticed the SC300 and discovered that it had the 2JZ-GE engine, same as the N/A supra. With that in mind, I knew already thats much butter than having a 400-500 FWHP sedan. And the 2JZ engine ive heard is very strong and reliable, more than the VQ. My main question is, how well does the 2JZ handle nitrous? I know the VQ can easily take like around 100-125 shot with ofcourse; colder plugs, walbro fuel pump, and watching A/F ratio. I figured an Auto SC300 with a T/C upgrade could easily take a 100shot, but I could be wrong, thats why im here. Now RWD would be much more benefitial compared to FWD with using nitrous, but its always about what the engine can handle.

I know you can easily turbo the N/A 2JZ, but Nitrous would work better with my budget if I were to buy an older SC300 (1995-ish), but it would still leave me with the option in the future.

Ive read through the forum quite a bit, but I still havent found any good info on how well nitrous works with the SC300.. Also, how well does the Auto tranny on the SC300s hold up with alot of power?

Thx in advance :)
