has anyone ever swap a GS430 engine into SC models?

 

This may have better luck in the engine section.

Peace,

Why arent they the same motor?

 

OK,

I am confused - do you want to put a GS430 motor into an SC430 or and SC400?

If a 430 - then you should go to the SC430 section and ask them.

If you are talking into a 400, then no, the engine is not the same.

oh my bad,I want to put a GS430 engine into a 1999 SC400,engine swap

 

why? isn't there only a 10hp gain or somthing?

 

yeah it kind of makes no sense.

and not sure if it'll fit. and if it doesn't don't think it would be worth the pain and money.

 

A GS430 has 10 more hp and 10 more tq than the VVT-i 98 1UZFE..You can probably get those numbers and more from a fully done exhaust...Doesn't make sense to make 10 hp for thousands of dollars when you can do it for two hundred bucks..

 

$200!- thats a cheap exhaust! but seriously, Exhaust, BFI, SAFC, and a tuning should give ya 10 hp... why swap that? go with the best and get a RB26 in there!

 

If my motor breaks, that'd be my choice for a replacement, haven't heard of any swaps though.
