It would be very cool to supercharge the 1uz, with or without swapping in the 4.3 or 4.7 Tundra block. With the auto transmission, it would be make a nice luxo cruiser and a change of pace from my 6 speed SC300. I wish the damn V8 would blow up so I can build it up, but that thing still runs perfectly with 266k miles, so who know when.

We can swap the tundra 4.7 block in to the sc4 and keep the head? Anyone on here have done it please chime in.

Actually those pictures on page 2 of this thread were from the Soarer Central website - I should know!!! Also got a smaller pulley going on hopefully next week, as well as a walbro fuel pump and rising rate fuel regulator just installed.

Looks like a nicely designed kit...Also looks like a centrifugal type charger in that SC...Very nice...I think that anybody that decides to FI the SC400 is doing an awesome thing...Get it going guys, whatever it is you do...FI that V8!!!

Make one ... Thats the biggest thing for me. I cant have that much downtime to mock up a manifold, ic piping , etc etc. If I could find a reasonably priced SC400 turbo kit while keeping the a/c (P/S I have dealt w/o before) I would be so in. MMMMMM turbo 400 with V160 .
