Get on club lexus. A member "Blizzy" has a post about everything you are looking for. I could go into what is involved and what you need but it would be better to get the info from his write-ups, as he experienced what needs to be done, first hand. In short, he's made some awesome discoveries that has pretty much opened the doors for a lower budget 5psd swap into the sc400. Have fun!

Buy a Miata. IMO ur not gonna have fun without a MT and there are way better cars for this. save the sc for the straight line or drift.

Yeah i agree. anything is definately possible but with the right amount of money. If i were you, i would find another 1uz and rebuild it using internals from lextreme. pistons, crank, rods, cams etc. supercharge it if you want. then throw that in ur sc.

worked for me too

You are a fricken magician.

hahaha yeah ur right. ive seen baltimore. that look definatly wouldnt fly

Replace the coils

I think it would depend on how much you budget is because they do not make a turbo kit for this car. if you said $1500-2k. i would lol. I think the best thing would be to get a supercharger bracket from lextreme and get the vortex supercharger. you wont be needing that much boost in this v8 to satisfy torque and hp needs. i think you could probably push the stock internals on this car to about 17psi at the most? but then again im just guessing. in any case that would be more than enough. If you want budget dont do turbo.

Replace the ground wires and make sure all of the connections are good. Then make sure the connections are good on ur battery.

Yeah im actually gonna have to say that ur car does look very good with the 20's on the back and 19's on the front. It was just from my experience ive seen a lot of guys have to roll fenders because of the width of the tire.

yeah +2 what does it sound like (if at all) when you try to start it?

is your car lowered?

dont forget suspension too

Welcome Jed. Ur car looks like a 99, with the looks of the taillight conversion, body kit, and the cleanliness. nice find. any plans for the car?

My advice would be to pull an ecu out of an sc400 at a pick and pull or TAP. Plug it in. if it starts, ur good. if not return it. TAP i think has a thirty day return policy. Cost of a new one is around $1000 around 200 for a used one. Look around online too.
