Just got my *** handed to me by a g37 today and that's not going to fly with me and I am about a year away from putting my supra back to stock and swapping the 600whp motor in to this sc400 so what can I do in the meantime to up the power? I know a nice exhaust system and cat delete will help so what about headers? And does anybody sell a bolt on set of headers?

I am now looking for a direct port n20 set up (150) shot, So I would like somewere in the 350-400 whp range on spray and intake/exhaust mods.

What is the weak point now? I assume the trans? What are my options here?

Input welcome

 

manual swap will wake that car up.

 

Yea but I am not looking to swap a v160 in it since the w58 is garbage and the r154 shifts like a mid 80's f150

It would be way to costly to swap a 6spd in and I really like having an auto for daily driving.

 

Three letters: BFI

 

BFI, shift kit and extra oil cooler, exhaust (don´t spray nos before doing the exhaust)
I don´t see extractors as a good dollar per hp thing...

 

The W58 is garbage? The only thing that is garbage is your SC400, and that G37 threw your *** in the trash.

J/k

 

Bfi? Of course I will do intake/exhaust and fuel pump before the spray.

 

I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything but why are you going to put money into your 1uz if you plan on swapping for your supra motor in a year? Obviously exhaust is a good choice but I would set it up to make power for your swap. Trans cooler, LSD, and a stall converter would be good investments as well. Also why are you putting direct port onto your daily driver, you wanna risk blowing a gasket or something on a car you need to get to work? It seems to me you're just upset because you got beat by a newer faster v6, and you're rushing to make unwise desicions when it comes to modding. Just my .02

 

Direct port is the safest and most stable form of n20 and i doubt I will blow a gasket as it is all in the tuning of the n20 so as long as there is no detonation there shoulld be a low risk of gasket failure.

I have 1 full year to toy with this car so this is why I would like to see exactly what can be done with it.

Also I am a mechanic by trade and these 1uzfe engines are disposable and cheap to replace in the event of a failure.

 

I am not up set that I got beat by a v6 at all as my wife put 15 car lenghts on me the day after I bought it in our evo which is only a 4cyl

 

Alot of the body panels on the G37 are aluminum, making it very light. Dont take it so personal. Save your money and concentrate on that supra motor.

 

If your a mechanic then just do this. Souldent be too much trouble or cost for you. (SoCaLSC400's SC)

 

Yea a remote mount turbo kit did cross my mind however I have 2 fast cars already so I just kind of wan't to have a "quick" daily driver.

 

You make a new thread and ask for advise. Then say yea but....to every suggestion you get. Your funny.

Spinner rims! Try that, It will def get you faster.

 

Wtf?^^ I should state that I don't want to spend huge amnts of money on a set up that I will most likely toss in a short time.

I would love a turbo kit for it however it is a daily driver so I would like to retain the stock reliability without hacking the poor car.

Spray will yield large amnts of power for less than 1k so I am really leaning that way as stated in my first post.

If you decide to sell your spinner rims let me know...
