So you're going to use the Supra housing on the SC400?

 

very nice write up bro, gonna stayed tuned for this

 

HY!

yes, i will install the Supra housing in the SC

Yesterday evening, i rebuilt the both diffs. it was not difficult, all parts fits perfect



i tested also the clearance of the pinion and i was surprised, the both have also a clearance, but not so much as before the LSD in the SC housing, look in the vid.

i tested also only the pinion in th housings, the from the SC needs more energy for move as in the TT housing.

Whoa! That is a lot of free play. I would check backlash with a dial indicator for sure. That seems a bit extreme.

 

HY!

yes.. its much! but original! the SC diff have only 18600miles, and the TT Diff only 40000miles.

My friend will check his original diff with ~100.000miles and the Supra LSD with ~55.000miles. i hope he makes also a vid.

You have me curious now. I am going to check mine too

 

I drive that many miles in a year!

 

HY!

Yesterday, i filled up the oil in the TT LSD and no clearance more feel and to hear ok..i s good

Today, i recieved the 35mm nut, but the was 5mm too short but we have "extended"

The flange to change is easy, but easer to do this on the car with closed rear brake to open the crew connection.

I fitted with the impact driver, first on stage 1 carfully and fixed complete with stage 4. Not more as 1-2mm more tighten up. its ok, not stronger to turn.

HY!

Today the final drive, all ok, no clearance, not more as original But the car feels lazy, all gears too long I tested with GPS 2 times 0-60miles. approx 7,8 seconds, not fast, With the oem diff was 7 sec. Next step this year or in the winter: change to 4.08 from the friends SC300 (is a open) with LSD

Holy S*&T.

only 16k Miles?

 

Hello!

yes i think, today 168xx miles, not more

After a little turn with some tests and a refueled tank, the suspension are lower, and looks much better it feels not to hard, like oem sport



Supra TT diff installed

Tom

 

You have such a nicely upgraded SC!

 

HY!

Last week, i go to my Lexus Dealer to adjust the suspension with the new setup, all ok! The SC drives very good



on the way home, i taked 2 pictures with my phone:





for a better light in the trunk, i changed the single LED to a led panel with warm white LED´s, it looks very good







in originla is a little bit more brighter.


Also, i bought 2 oem header gaskets, for the change to the new headers




fits perfect!


and to check the A/F, a AEM Gauge

 

One Problem with the new exhaust is, the tips going to outside of the car in the holes, and looks not good.

A friend had custom made this spacer for the rubber mountings.



before



after, looks better


on the other side the same



i hope, i can install on sunday the new centerpipe in the exhaust,

 

if u sold that car god damn thats probably 10k+
