hey gang. it seems the only SC i can find here in hawaii is the 400. i currently own a turbo-charged car so going turbo on an SC is definately in my future plans. has anyone done the motor swap on a 400? i've heard that the cross members are different, are there any other issues?

hmm, i test drove one today and i was kinda shocked, i really didn't like the feel of the car! maybe because it was used, or the owner didn't take care of it or something. nevertheless, i shall keep hunting.

What didn't you like about it?

You can do it, but it may be easier to turbo the 1UZ. The 1JZ swap isnt impossible, but youre just going to turn it into a SC300 in the process. I dont remember the parts, but crossmember was one of em since the uz and jz mounts arent alike

I would personally stay away from messing with this. It may be a lot more trouble than you think you're getting into.

All the money you would spend to put a 1JZ swap into the 400 could spent on making the v8 way faster than the 1jz could be just by itself.

ORRRR....you could do forced induction on the UZ. I think Planet Soarer is doing a full build up of a supercharged one right now

thanks for the input guys.

If you wanna swap in a 1JZ you might as well buy an SC300 and swap it into that.

Good luck!

hmmm. i think im just gonna look for a manual SC300. my pops lives in san diego so maybe if i can find one there i could have it shipped here to hawaii. the SC400 is nice but i don't think it fits my future plans as far as tuning. did u guys see that manual swap on the V8 SC4 in aussie? that is sikk!

Yup

One of them gets serviced where I take my Soarer for service
