I'm the next one who will stand up for the SC400 tranny under boost. I've been running 9 psi with no problem whatsoever. I have the extra tranny cooler installed on the side and it just gets warm under boost in hot summer. I can hold the cooler as long as I want to. For every psi of boost, the SC400 gains an average of 16 rwhp = 22 bhp. A VVTI engine like Scott will gain even more. I had a run against my friend with the swapped 2JZGTE at 12 psi (dynoed at 340 rwhp), we were even head to head.

 

good luck on the sale... I wish you would have made a cast of the manifold and sold your own kits...

 

im definately interested; however, id prefer not to buy an entire engine, since it would cost so much in shipping. Plus, i already got a fully functional 97 1uz begging for some compressed air.

Would you be willing to sell it as a ready-to-install kit, with the s/c, pulleys, accessories, etc? (and maybe even installation instructions). If you can't do this, how much do you think it would cost to ship it here to Eastern Mass? and how much would the swap cost?


btw, I hope your not converting to the jz. Sorry for all the straight-6 fans out there, but theres just no supplement for the sound of a throaty V8 .

 

Yes I will kit it up for you. I will document every line and hook up as it comes off. Lots of pictures! If you have a 97 this should be nearly fool proof. I will include everything you need to install it less a set of intake manifold gaskets. Price? lets start at 3700 shipped, that is complete! You literally should be able to throw this on over a weekend. Everything, even the custom aluminum intake tube theaded with nipples for the lines. I know I am not dicounting a lot for the engine but The engine is not worth much to me as I have 2 of them. It will save you a bunch on shipping.

If you decided to get the complete engine, shipping would add 250-500.

 

3700 sounds good, but ill need to get back to you on this. first i gotta make sure i have the money ready. im waiting for my refund check from college since I got a scholarship this semester (lol thats right, im blowing my college funds on superchargers ). hopefully its coming soon so ill have the funds. I'll try and pm you in a few days on this. Dont feel obligated to hold the kit for me if someone else wants to buy it and has the money right away. ill understand.

thanks!

 

No problem, I have a couple guys saying they want it but no money, I think they are looking to the bank for a loan, Sounds like you have a better plan.

 

Wow Scott, that's truly an incredible deal! Let's see a TT 5.7L Tundra iForce in there next.

 

Not quite that extreme! But it should be sweet.

 

Must be VtaK!!!!!


lol j/k, i'm down to see what's next!

 

His new ride might be the fastest SC400 around. His previous M90 isn't good enough for the Getrag. So what? I believe he'll triple the hp digit.

 

That would be awesome, but the fastest would be a pretty bold statement with builds like David's and Ryan's in the works.

 

LOL he hasn't even said anything and you all are making these statements. LMAO

 

It's just a habitual guess. You never feel enough with the power once you're into it. A modified M90 on a V8 has tremendous tq at low end and fun-enough hp at high end will be changed to a less tq and hp motor? A Getrag that has the capability for a 10 second car will be used for a 13 second car? I don't think so...LOL. In fact, I might know something but I won't say anything until the righteous owner says so. It's a buried secret

 

Well yeah but triple horsepower numbers is aiming high and i know what its like that why i tossed out my m90 and am going to run a m112. My speculation is a 4.7 with a whipple though. Thats what id'e do if i had the money for the whipple....

 

Yes triple the HP is pretty aggresive, I would probally be pleased to have double. I dont want to even guess where I will land, I just dont know, but one thing is certain, it will be more impressive than what I have now.
