He wished to point out you should use the search feature of this forum. This topic has been discussed to death.

edit - wow, took you only one minute to decide you didn't want to do the TT swap .

I'm not real familiar with any pimps that have NAWSS, but I'd encourage you to use the search feature again or just browse the forum for old posts on this same information. www.intellexual.net (lex400sc, one of our forum members) has a great FAQ for the SC you should read.

There are a number of items to look for in the forum... intakes, exhaust, headers under development, I believe there is a chip upgrade for the SC (depending on year), high stall torque converters, LSD, lighter wheels for less rotational mass, etc.

Welcome to the forums BTW, but please try to use the years of information that are already here .

another thing you can do is come to the SELOC meets. There is a wealth of information you can find there. One of our members has an S/C on his GS400. He had it done at a local tuner shop. Why do I bring this up?

Well, the same shop can do a six speed swap/S/C in my SC400.
They have many Supras in the garage that they are tuning now.....
They have done a NSX Swap into a CRX
They did a M/T swap on my Legend coupe
Can you guess who?

Default 2jz gte swap into sc 400

http://www.clublexus.com/forums/show...5&pagenumber=1

The above link is to a thread started by JDM Toyota Soarer. He has a V8 Soarer swapping a Supra TT engine. He says the engine cradle is the same as a SC300/Supra. MEANING----> You can swap a 2jz gte Straight into a SC400 without any engine mount fabrication. Private message him. He has lots of info.
