DSMs vs. other cars, your other car maybe.

I hate sr20's...


Will someone tell me about the V8 in the Lexus SC400? I am not familiar with it, or if people have made power with it? 1uzfe?

I know nothing about the SC400 but I know that the older 4.3 seems to like boost and can really be built. The Nissan 4.5 is very close in performance and now has better heads. This is the old 1uz done by HKS:

I think that I need to find a limit to my DSM to limit not only spending but power. I think that I will continue my upgrades, but then hopefully leave the car so that I can have something bigger and badder.
But if its not LSx, it will probably be 2JZ.

The SC400 or really the 1UZ-FE is extremely popular in Australia and New Zealand. They use them in every thing from insane FI boats to custom cars, to Supras, etc. They are a pretty solid base to build from and with a basic build.. they are monsters. Toyota 2jz power from something that has the sound of a great V8 + turbo.. It's amazing there really isn't that much info out there with the amount of builds of these on that side of the earth.
