Hi ALL,
As most of you know that this engine was for sale in the Sc430 classifieds

Sorry, I do not know how to rotate the pictures above...take care

Good luck Ned, looking forward to it. I toured their engine shop back when they were building Team Lexus engines - cool place!

 

Guess what? My buddy from a local tuning shop just comes by to check on my engine. He promises me one of his Nos Sniper universal kits in stock free. He owes me . This man is looking closely on the single turbo option as we speak. He measures everything under that hood . Possible solution : using stock manifolds ????? Let see . I'm talking with a CL member here who has a used LMS supercharger kit MIGHT BE available for grab. I believe it's still on his Gs4xx. My guy insists turbo for running higher boost. LMS can run up to 7psi I think. Ned

 

i would love to see how this turns out..keep the updates coming!

 

Please clarify when you say fully built. New rods, pistons, bearings, valves, port n polish?? What brands did you go with? Thanks..

 

VietPrince,
This engine has Crower rods, Ross custom piston for turbo or SC, new valve, exhaust valve, timing belt kit, water pump, port n polish, multiple angle jobs, gaskets,, studs, RC 440cc injectors, NGK plugs, etc...blue print and balance!!!! This could pass as a new engine :0 imo. Peace
