Question Options for SC400??

Hey guys any help would be great. I have a 96 Sc400 and I really need to do some HP upgrades. All the stuff I see is 95 and earlier. Local shops around here in R.I. are useless. What kinda engine mods can I do? Thanks alot.

Yea I know all about the "search" button. Tons of awsome info came up, but nothing stating what can be done to a 96+ Sc400 engine. Anyone know? I'll triple check again. Thanks again.

the 96-97 engine is the practically the same to the pre 96 engines. Only huge differences are internal and the EGR system.

I was unaware that you could swap out a 96 sc400 obII to a 1jz. I thought 95 and earlier could only do that cause of obI? Hope I dont get my head bitten off if i'm wrong.
