Here is a pic of the BoostLogic built 4 speed Auto Tranny with the Custom billet forward clutch inside. Also, as a part of this kit from BL , a Precision TQ Converter is included.
I also got my Walbro FP hanger for the SC from MVP...

I just found this thread and was fascinated enough to read all 60 pages in one sitting.
I don't know what amazes me more, Ryan...the project you have undertaken or the patience and determination you've exuded to see this dream through to its fruition.
Congratulations on what you have accomplished so far and I am definitely looking forward to your continued progress!

It's possible a signal clamp or a combination of them could eliminate your factory rev limiter and the problems it causes--
The map above this rpm could be tailored to be totally controlled instead of secondarily controlled by the piggyback-- It would need to as the signal clamp would continue to feed the ecu a constant signal making it pulse the injectors and ignition at the clamped 6500 signal-- or wherever the clamp stops the signal at-- But I think most piggybacks are able to control fuel and spark independently-- So it may even be possible for the piggyback to take complete control without the ecu's help after clamping -- Some aftermarket ecu's offer this ability while many others do not--

Gang: I haven't been able to get these installed because one of the drilled holes in one of the rotors cracked upon torquing the bolt to secure the hat onto the rotor. I just got the replacement rotor in, the one that cracked was a freak..it had a mild factory defect in the rotor. That is very rare for them and they replaced it free of charge 
BBK's going on today...Pics to accompany.

Hey gang, I have a few pics for ya. I assembled the BBKs, preparing them for install. Remember, I have picked up the engine from the machine shop...
The Brake kit ncomes from Revolution brakes, formerly known as Precision brakes, the calipers are genuine Wilwood. Wilwood does not make a kit for the SC, but Revolution does.
Nice stuff, well machined.

OK, Gang...We got the front BBK's installed, but did not have time to complete the rears, so that will be done tomorrow, and we will bleed the brakes at that time. I gotta tell you, these guys at Revolution Brakes (formerly Precision Brakes) make a quality kit. Everything was machined extremely precisely, and abviously, the Willwood calipers are awesome, and extremely lightlweight... Even the SS braided brake lines were made precisely...The ends were made exactly to fit into the Lexus mounting bracket and be held in place by the stock C clip, and the larger rectangular mounting clip. The fit was spot on exact... I was extremely pleased. Thw center rings that they machined to extend the hub center were also spot on perfect...
From brackets to bolts to washers to calipers to hats to rotors, this kit was well thought out and engineered to work on my car, and provide increased braking capability utilizing the stock master cylinder...
Here are a few pics...

hahaha, i almost typed "since dave isnt here anymore posting..." lol.
seriously though. i would have at least cleaned the hub up a bit before the install... they look awsome though.
