Lexus V8 supercharged SC 400

[racecardriver467]

power numbers?

[HeyMan096]

@GrumpyJohn Is that plexiglass or actual glass on the intake?

[op3l]

Dude, that sounds awesome, but right now if I can find a good lowish milage one of these, I'd so buy it and use it as my daily driver. This lexus I think is the best looking car they've made.

[luckyamo15]

Sounds and Looks better than any Mustang GT i've seen/heard

[YoungKing925]

Sexy Beast

[LazySniper]

That car is a sleeper. i wouldn't be expecting a V8 under the hood, i would be expecting a I4

[TheRotaryman]

@LazySniper why these came with either a six or an eight if im not mistaken. never a 4

[LazySniper]

@TheRotaryman well look at the body, if i saw a car like that i would be excpecting a small engine.

[TheRotaryman]

@LazySniper true, true

[LordToxygene]

@LazySniper WTF?? That a is a big car? Have you ever seen one on the road? It makes a Pontiac GTO look small.

[ilovegoatsecks]

@LazySniper i agree. sounds just like a celica gts, but, it actuallly took off like one too. slow car.

[hagenhammer]

thats the sickes plenum ive seen!

[ou812bass]

im jus learning abt throttle bodies but why does it only have 6 holes if the sc400 is a v8? shouldnt it have 8?

[TheRotaryman]

@ou812bass there are 8

[rthom86]

@ou812bass there is eight the back to are hiding in the shadow. watch it real close and you can see the fourth one on the right and the screws for the fourth on the left

[MKIIsleeper]

Not sure if it was just reflection off the plexiglass but it looked as if it was flexing.

[pmanson0624]

thats crazy that u git seal plexiglass ontop of the intake !! thats a unique touch

[ViewOrDie]

Its a "PROCHARGER"......

[Tbonecustoms]

@ViewOrDie "procharger" is a brand of super charger. If you want to get technical it is a "centrifugal" supercharger.

[ViewOrDie]

@Tbonecustoms I know. Its fun to test peoples knowledge when it comes to cars. You know what I mean. Then again the way people react starts a whole list of comments that are unnecessary.

[iLLC0NCEPTx]

how much did that supercharger cost?

[romansoldierofhonor]

i respect the shit out of the lexus V8, but i cant stand SC300's.

[beagleboyjones]

oh yeah, i got one of them........ lol

[SpikeRazzor]

Man, if you guys made a couple of those systems you could easily make a killing selling them to Club Lexus members.

Would kill for that ITB set alone =(.

[ThePiratePornoBay]

a beauty !

[peacebomber8]

hp???

[lrover03]

Curious to know how long that piece of plexiglass on top the plenum survived under boost? ;)

[Yourcoolkid1]

whats the HP?

[mitsubishidiamante]

@Yourcoolkid1 horse power

[darkbyob]

crazyyyy!!!

[BigDik1209]

dude that pulley was extra loose on the paasenger side

[briankmizell]

I don't mean to sound rude, but what is that awful squealing noise?

[Goff86]

@briankmizell really? really? do you know anything about cars?

[mengthor]

@briankmizell the supercharger silly.

[petervsays]

damn boosted itbs... i wonder how that shit would run... fucking crazy ass mods these days..

[bizzyfingers]

at 00.27 your belt is twitching like a mofo.

[Ktm200stud770]

Boosted ITB's!!!

[thatwasshitt]

so sick

[chenlenglor11]

i can neevr find a manual one..

[duaragonrune]

modify yours to a manual?

[Cordius]

@chenlenglor11 They didn't make the SC400s in manual. You can swap it with an SC300 or a 2JZ transmission very easily though.

[dubvipers]

theyre never made manual

[MrJapatron]

lol @ witchdoctor.

do you know how a centrifugal supercharger works?

[kalashinakov]

@MrJapatron obviously not his a witchdoctor

[panzerkiller13]

@MrJapatron How does it work? I've always wanted to know that myself haha

[awesomedandy]

@panzerkiller13 a centrifugal SC works just like the impeller side of a turbo, but uses a belt to spin the compressor wheel instead of a turbine. So you dont get lag like with a turbo, but also cant control boost because the compressor spins at a rate that is always proportional to the engine speed. Unlike a turbo which can use the wastegate to control the speed of the turbine and therefore compressor which allows it to make adjustments to boost pressure at any engine speed.

[sweetaction69]

omg those throttle bodys are INSANE!!!!

[1kera]

wow man that's sick

[Ryugeit]

I'm thinking of getting one next year

[Laofse]

That gave me chills all over, that sounds really mean.

[00Soap]

Great!

[isaiah213]

damn i never seen a japanese v8 look like that before, it looks like a big block chevy

[ddavid993]

its a 1UZ from lexus

[DirtridinElCamino]

the sc400 came with the 1uz the 2c300 came with a 2jz

[valleystylez]

i think you have it backwards

[DirtridinElCamino]

i do my bad lol

[supremeangel101]

DAM!!!!!!!!!

[A720z]

damn dude!!! that thing sounds like a fighter jet!!!

[DragonZXDragster]

I want this, lol

[caliking369]

i fucking love the SC400s i own a LS400 4dr

[yoboygd]

TIGHT!!!!

[azngangstr0]

pretty cool setup

[HKST51R]

i dont know about that intake manifold

[unclesonnyonutube]

usually ITB's are use in all motor setups but the airbox they made evenly distributes boost to each tb...this is a really cool custom setup!

Im gonna tell everyone that its my idea ;)

[caliking369]

how much would this setup run?

[nitrousboy0311]

More than you can afford pal ferrari

[Vvewa]

rofl

[Izzy1Lilly]

haha right... Then he looks at his hot blonde wife and laughs..

[Audioque666]

does the guy with this car live in lindenwoods becuase i think i have seen this guy it sounds sick

[tparling11122]

sick just sick

[asdfgoogle]

That sounded NICE when it took off!

[HennyTreeze]

beeeeeeasst!

[charlieflint]

How trick is that inlet plenum?! super cool car!

[tommytooclean]

I don't care for the supercharger whine

[Mitchd03]

If you noticed the individual throttle bodies, i think you should have noticed the big ass centrifugal supercharger that the camera zooms right up to.

[djderk]

Modify. Not customize

[LuckyDT]

That's just badass. I have a '95 SC400 with just a couple boltons; BFI intake (of course :) ), Tanabe mufflers (no catback), Dragon Torque Convereter, and JIC front strut and springs. I love how clean the SC'd SC setup came out. How much pressure do you usually run and has it been dyno tested? Anyway, looks great, nicely done!

[RyanGarr57]

Luxury car turned into a muscle car

[JZX100Chaser]

Not just a muscle car, but a Muscle car with BALLS

[ahnowiknow]

@JZX100Chaser JDMuscle!



[defcomproductions]

What a vicious sounding machine! I know if i heard that whine coming from under the hood at a stoplight, i might just get out my SC and bow down.. LMAO!

[polyurethane610]

weapon

[PheenongLao]

OMG. Dang. Souds good.

[BubbytheTourG]

Guys help me. I am considering getting either a 4th Gen Honda Prelude VTEC 4WS, a Lexus SC400, or a Subaru Impreza (not neccessarily WRX STI).

[FreeRadicalTheBand]

either lexus or vtec, i prefer the prelude. getter gas and good power when you need it. the vtec isn't ALL that great, if you want performance and dont care about gas price, go for the 400

[b18tuner5875]

400 is def one of the strongest v8s ever built, and has great potential with its quad cam layout

[JZX100Chaser]

Guy speaks the truth.

[panzerfaust375]

yep true that. Toyota just know what they're doing that's all. hey there jzx100. luv the car. proud owner of both 1uz and 1jz. just don't make me choose between the two :) :) :P

[zytekfan]

LEXUS.

[BubbytheTourG]

or "urekasu" as the japanese would say.

i wish ford made a 4wd turbo version of the focus

[zytekfan]

You would think the Focus ST would be the 4wd turbo, berserk version of the normal Focus, but it isn't :(

[bloodseedrums]

it would still be a gay ass focus so why bother

[BubbytheTourG]

Because I'd rather have a focus than a gay civic or gay corolla. Besides, it would ooze with turbo manliness and 4wd rally-worthiness.

[belgradeboy89]

ford rs200 :)

[panzerfaust375]

sc400/soarer v8 for sure. Drive it nice and get better fuel economy then most cars anyway!

[hungrymeh]

Dang thing screams like a banshee! friggin love it

[3sets]

I have a 96 sc400 Its a great car.

[way2low101]

i wanna roll down portage with your SC400 and my Soarer

[honda12345678]

Hah roll down portage? represtntin WPG i see. All the 5.0 mustangs and sunfires dont appreciate real engineering...

[way2low101]

nice man do you guys still have her i would love to roll down portage with that behind my soarer

[Toyota4Life]

OMG

I LOVE LEXUS/TOYOTA!!!!!!!!!

[Timothayyy]

Maybe Lexus. Toyota hasent hasent had anything good in the states since when? [Yes I know their both the same company im talking about under those names] And scion is just lame.

[SpikeRazzor]

Holy shit, representing Canada I see ;D.

Car sounds insane, kinda like and old small block. I love it!

[LuckyDT]

That is beautiful. I have a 95 SC400, are you on ClubLexus? I'm Lucky Devin on there. What did you do with TCS, just delete it all together?

[Timothayyy]

Wish I had an SC400!

My brother wants one too, so ill just let him get one, but hes still paying off that A8 he got, lol.

[KazeRSX]

I'd imagine they would have had to. I strongly suggest you do the same, the carbon is a bitch to clean out...

[JZZ31]

What exhaust set up is that?

[lexusson]

are you still using the auto tranny?

[ShadowX314]

daam that engine looks soo fresh and soo cleeeeeen

[munkul]

i LOVE it, well done!

[alguncarajo]

sick looks for the engine...

[n3m005]

whats the horses on this one?

[EVERYONEHATESiFlickx]

im thinking about 320...maybe 340??

[emsalem86]

lol at accelerating over a bump

sounds real nice man bet it goes good too

nice to see a project V8 that can keep up with the TT boys! Props to you

[acuratlnigga]

does this car drink gas? how much do u get per gallon

[Elmo187]

if u need to ask about mpg, then u cant afford these modifications.

[muckk]

great video, and great sc !!

[viktord1]

i didnt know those were rear drive...nice

[Elmo187]

lol....

tell me how u can fit a 2JZ-GE into one of these and it NOT be RWD.

[tamasco]

sc 400's had v8 1uz-fe's

sc 300's had i6 2jz-ge's

some soarer's had single or twin turbo 2jz-gte's

[filipekaka]

independent fuel management system thats nice, have some nice work there and lot of taste doing it, everyting weel setup and place. nice

[fbxcore]

haha that plexiglass on the intake manifold is pretty slick..wish they would have revved the car while looking down on it.

[TypeSVtec]

i have a 95 SC400...and not able to find any superchargers for it ...yet...any advice?

[KayQue69]

Speak to Neil Griffiths from Rushimports dot com dot au

[MustangBadboy]

What's the 0-60 time? (0-100 as they say in the States...) I had a 2.5 twin turbo - on steroids, 0-60MPH in 4.5 seconds... can this match that? the reason why I'm asking is because I had th UZZ32 Active suspension SC400 too and was thinkin of supercharging it. Is it worth it? how much does it cost?

[jc3martin]

haha plexi glass that shit is insane!!!!

[cshinmori]

How about some numbers.... Performance vids should show more performance, hard to tell how well it ran from the limited footage. Nice idls ha. Looks like an awsome project. More info please.

[okus]

Dude you have to put more video's. Alot more, in the car and out of the car!!! this was just a taste!!! Trust me...theres alot of guys who want to see more!!!

[eadad]

fuckin A
