I seafoamed today. Huge improvement. Just the gasoline and oil for now. Once i feel comfortable (find) i'll use the break booster line to finish the job the right way. I bought the Bosch Fusion (platinum and iridium blend) plugs for the car. I'll let ya'll know how that went. I also bought the Fram boost performance drop in air filter. If it works great, if not, at least i'll have a clean air filter. The main advantage of VVT-I engines is the valve timing is dynamic. This allows a greater range of Horse power and increased fuel efficiency, Hence the 30 HP gain and 4 MPG gain from 97 to 98 model years. They also did away with the distributor cap removing one more tune up hassle. It's a cleaner engine design. THe downside, is it's now very intelligent hence the "i" in VVT-I. This means the old tricks for HP gains dont work as well. The engine's ECU learns to spite you. I learned this the hard way with my last VVTL-I car... I'll be working this car as a major project. My main goals are squeezing performance at every corner, while maintianing a decent gas milage and quiet. I may later go for a super charger option if there is one. I prefer them over Turbo for the daily driver friendly aspect over turbos.

Not a bad Job Jibby, months later and the thread is going strong. I just bought a 1998 SC400 and would like to mod the thing out. Currently it has 68k miles on it and is in great condition. Exhaust - I'd like to work this first with stock pipes. for the Magnaflow Cats, The two front sizes are 2.25 inch and the back 2 in 1 is 2.25 in and 2.5 out? Any part numbers to use would be a help. Once I replace the 3 cats, i'd like to replace the back 2 resonators, with a Straight through design, but I want to keep the ghost quiet sound the car currently has. People tend to get freaked when i suddenly floor it and disapear without a sound. I like that. What should I use for this? LSD - I dont know what i've got for a differential. Going straight i've peeled out with both tires for a long while. HOw can I tell if I have stock or aftermarket LSD? Breaks - They not bad, the rotors are ugly and semi rusty. I'd like to go slotted cross drilled for style. Supra Control arms - Where can i get these and what year/model Supra would fit on a 98 SC? so far I've found front lower arms for 250-400 a pop. Do I need upper and lower or just one of them? Seafoaming - Would you suggest I do this now? I found some old oil change reciepts and it was texaco station that did the work. Would putting in a high quality Synth oil be bad at this stage of the game? Intake - What drop in filter and part number can i Use with the stock intake ?
