[bloodntearz]

[fullybuild]

is this a stock SC400 V8 motor? if it is which transmission did u put there? thank you. nice car

[scotturnot]

@fullybuild Its a supercharged SC400 motor. the transmission is a Getrag from a Supra, bolted up with a adaptor.

[wajalama]

How DOES a 6 speed Lexus SC400 dive..?

[1982warpath]

With the supercharger, how much hp did you gain?

[ixgolligeexi]

"hit de reav limider"



[SuperJDMFan]

just if it was a manual

[00RayrayG]

SCOTT! hows the car? we got mine up n running after chirs had a long break lol...but illl link u mine soon, its was worth the wait! hows the getrag doing, any mods i should know about havent put my 6 in yet after tuninin, SCOTT KNOWS whats hes talking about here i wouldnt think twice!

[proto12qs]

Thanks for the explanation, and besides all that- it is a lovely car.

[proto12qs]

God forbid you had to sell this car and the potential buyer saw this video, what would you say?

[scotturnot]

@proto12qs No clue, not sure what you mean. Not that it matters, its the old motor and its not for sale.

[proto12qs]

@scotturnot I was just wondering, because you said the tranny sounded like rocks..

[scotturnot]

@proto12qs That is true it does, Nothing a person can do about that. The getrag is loud if you put it behind a lightened flywheel. From the factory, Toyota developed a Dual Mass Flywheel in a effert to quiet it down, it worked but it is heavy as heck. Someday I may work on my own solution.

[pfcrobinson]

Velcro the camera to the steering wheel if you dont have a co-pilot.

[Snipza]

CHECK ENGINE!

[scotturnot]

@Snipza IKR? I pulled the Engine to try and see why its coming on.

[Snipza]

@scotturnot hehe.

[Yourcoolkid1]

ima put one in my civic!

[SP33DADD1CT]

didnt they come with manual tranny ? 

[mikldude]

what is a flashing light on the left of the dash?

[bhdunphy]

how much power?

[scotturnot]

@bhdunphy never got it dynoed and now its getting a whole new fully built 4.7 with a Whipple. stay tuned.

[panzerfaust375]

Can't believe someone actually did the 1uz to v160 (getrag supra 6sp)! I was going to do 1uz to r154. The most common is with a w58 been there done that (blew it up). You'll never do that box in though.

[alemcodon]

yo boss dude, i wanna supercharge my sc400, i found one with 6000km on the clock, u wnt believe but it IS genuine, ima holla u in club lexus talk to me...

whats the diffrence in fuel economy with supercharge?

[scotturnot]

@alemcodon actually it gets good MPG if you keep your foot out of it.

[bossudude420]

man scott, your work is amazing. I just got a perfect condition SC400, read your whole build thread. I'd love to do the swap but without access or experiencing with milling and machining equipment, it would be impossible. Any chance you could mill me some parts? :PP

[scotturnot]

@bossudude420 I have been know to make these parts for a couple other builds.

[Trapv2]

Was it easy to install the supercharger/6 speed easy to intall? And how much did all this cost?

[scotturnot]

@Trapv2 Look me up on Club Lexus same user name. All the build is documented there. I lost track of cost a long time ago :-)

[8GOWNER]

Did the SC400 come stock wit 6spd transmission or is that supra swap??

[scotturnot]

Its a Supra 6 spepd Getrag adapted to the SC400 1uz engine

[sh1znack]

Same problem in my VR-4 6-speed getrag

[n3m005]

hey man, thats not a stock steering wheel is it? what cars it from?

[FullVisionInc]

Its actually a 98-2000 SC wheel but I have a GS air bag in it. The GS wheel will fit too.

[n3m005]

is your car a 98-2000 model? apparently those years had dual stage airbags..wonder if these fit jdm soarers

[scotturnot]

My car is a 97, you can actually use airbags from 98-2002 by changing the connector. They are still single stage, most the 2 stage startet in 01 or 02.

[dubvipers]

ITs great seeing the awesome progress Scott! I asked about your spare motor a longg time ago lol, if you remember.

How much did the 6spd run you?

have fun with your Soarer

[supremeangel101]

yo how much is dat car is it alot liek stock tho not like u have it i wanna get 1

[lawaiia808]

i dream of having this car with those conversions one day.

[scotturnot]

Look me up when your ready to do the swap, I can give you instructions and tell you where to get everything you need.

[Dani01c]

question: is the v160 getrag a direct fit? did you have to do anything to the harness or ecu since it used to be an auto?

[scotturnot]

I have a complete build thread on it on ClubLexus. I use the same username there. Look me up, I'll send you a link.

[Dani01c]

thanks! saw the whole thread but didnt see what did you do with the harness so it worked for your car unless sc's dont need their harness or ecu to me changed or modified to work with manual tranny

[scotturnot]

Basically added a jumper to allow it to start. Hooked up the speedo sensor and reverse lights. Its in the thread twoards the end.

[Dani01c]

sounds kinda simple.. in automatic AV6 when you change to acura CL-S 6 speed, you have to trick the harness to think its in any gear thats not parking or neutral because you wont have vtec and will rev until 5k RPM so you have to switch some cables and make that possible

[klutchkick420]

hey i got a 92 soarer but shes an auto!! im definitley ready to do a 5 speed swap.. where and how can i do this

[biggeorge77]

OMG man. 1:30 just sounds like music.

These engines are beautiful. Put a good exhaust on it, get a co-pilot and rip that thing up on your next video. :)

[AWESOMEaustin99]

is this the transmission set up from the MKIII Supra?

[scotturnot]

6 speed from a 97 TT supra

[tasteslikes0be]

why is the check engine light on? would that have to do anything with the supercharger??

[scotturnot]

Just on because no EGR wont be a problem with my new engine and stand alone thats going in soon.

[kaioshinex2]

God this is so sexy, i love the 1uz so much, i think I'm gonna buy another one down the road for a project car. i have a 93 SC400 with 180k and she runs like a champ.

[bigredchevytruck]

"hit the rev limiter, got the shifter in one hand, camera in the other hand and trying to drive. Guess I need a co-pilot?" LOL, probably not a bad idea. Car sounds really good though!

[240sxkid521]

wut did u have to do just to do your set up on your car ?

[240sxkid521]

hi i have a sc 400 i do not kno wut to do put in a 1jz or trun the v8 in to a 5peed wut is the best way to go and dose not cost so much thanks

[scotturnot]

1JZ is cheaper since everyone does it.

[panzerfaust375]

that car came out with a 1jz. my mate has one but its a jap import to aus which is right hand drive.

I don't think a LHD 1jz exists but the modification would be easy since it came out factory with that motor. However, in my experience the 1uz is a tad more reliable. All depends if you like v8s or turbos.

[drewpoh]

2jz > 1jz and 1uz .. easy .. but price is a bit more but worth it if ur building for performance, more parts and is like more bullet proof than the 1jz, but for 1jz and 1uz i'd say there both jst as good as each other.

[LuckyDT]

Good stuff! I have a '95 SC400 with just some bolt ons (BFI, Tanabe mufflers, Dragon Torque Converter, JiC Springs and front strut). A blown SC400 or Soarer 4.0 is one thing, but mated with the V-160 has got to be rare as FUCK! Badass man!

[LLCoolPass]

really a sc300 since you dont have the v8

[scotturnot]

Wrong, It is a supercharged SC400 1UZFE V8.

[LLCoolPass]

I thoguht you were the guy who put the supra stuff in ...

crap, so this is supercharged 1uz ... that's great, good for you! :)

[pedrotski2007]

Tom Hanks owns a Soarer?

[Ktrain0218]

omg lol BBQ

[Peja16]

why are the traction control and check engine lights on?

[scotturnot]

EGR code on the CEL and the traction control was unpluged at the moment.

[panzerfaust375]

Nice upgrade. The 1uz-fe is a bloody nice V8. I wouldn't recommend using a W gearbox though. I'd go with the R150 or to that effect.

I blew up the w58 box without really trying. I also have a 1jz, it came out with a manual r151 and that motor is not as harsh in terms of torque down low. think about it.

[scotturnot]

This is using the 6 speed V-160 from a 97 supra. It is much stronger than a W58

[panzerfaust375]

oh sorry i misread. Yeah the sc400 or soarer v8 never came out with a manual :( im in aust.

I have the exact same thing. You made the right choice the w58 was a bad choice that cost me money. It's worth it in the end, much better then the bloody auto. and what an amazing v8. The problem is it just loves to rev out :)

I'm a bit of a toyota nut. I've also got a 1jz single turbo that came out with a manual. Nice car as well. feels different not as mean as the 1uz :)

good luck with your car buddy :)

[phatdrifter]

ohh coo coo,butnice car bro thinkin of getttin me one too.

[phatdrifter]

what tranny did you use?

[scotturnot]

Supra V160

[Ill06Taco]

I know it was never offered But im saying the w58 is native to the SC, but not to the v8, but it still has to be easier than the V160. Bravo regardless, sweet car, super jealous.

[Ill06Taco]

Thinking about buying one and using a w58, you think that would be a lot easier than the V-series? Seeing as the w58 already was an option on that car. I know strength might be an issue but I would keep the car relatively stock

[scotturnot]

Easier? Not much, you still need to adapt it to the 1UZ V8, now on a sc300 its a bolt in. The w58 will save a lot of cash over the V160. To my knowlege the w58 was never offered here in the US on a SC400, cant say 100% for over sea's

[wastedsniper]

is this the V8? where did you find a standard transmission for it? ive been trying to find one myself

[scotturnot]

Yep its a V8, its a supra transmission, a adaptor plate, and a whole lot of dedication.

[wastedsniper]

haha i can imagine

how much did it cost to do that?

if you dont mind my asking

[bluesky123456789]

What's the light right next to the check engine light(the left of it)?

[scotturnot]

Traction control, Its unpluged. I am going to be getting rid of all the lights soon.

[MostExcellentDude]

You need a camera mount. Check out headrest camera mounts. They're simple, cheap, and you can DIY one your self. They work great.
