Ryan,

Will the E-shift work on your new setup?

Richie: Absolutely!!! That is controlled by the PCS Transmission Stand Alone. It has awesome capabilities. We are rewiring the Power/ECT button to be manual/auto modes. I will install the 4 speed gated shifter along with this set up...Can't wait!!

Awesome setup.
If this isn't going to be the ultimate SC I don't know what is.
You really thought everything through

Thanks, Richie. I am making it as close to what a 2008 version of the SC400 would be like, and yet keep its' original look and feel, IMHO...

Guess what I just noticed? This thread has now passed 1,000 replies...

I agree, this car will be the top by which all others are judged. Thanks a lot Ryan for screwing up the grading curve!

Over 1000 replies but some have been deleted. Who is going to get the 1000th post? What will I win? Oh wait, maybe you should give this car project to the lucky poster!

Thanks, Scott... There are a lot of top notch modded Sc's out there, so I will not make that claim, but I am humbled that the suggestion has been made...Sorrry, the car stays with me...

Gang: We wrenched all afternoon today and got a whole heck of a lot done. It is beginning to look like a motor again.

Here are a few pics for you.

Since this is the 1000th post, I thought I would take the honors...We expect to receive the injectors and the fuel rails this week, and I will pick up the upper intake this Monday. Hope to have the engine completed this week.

I am beginning to feel like this is finally going to get done , snd soon. What a long, long road...

I thank you all for your patience and well widhes along the way..

Ryan how much power did BL say the rebuilt tranny could handle? Did you need to get a shift kit or any other transmission upgrades? I have been trying to figure out whether or not to go with Boost Logic or Level 10 have heard good things about both

That's a good question, and has been answered before. I suggest you contact Zohair or Kean at BL, and discuss the details of your application with them, then decide...

The aftermarket rails are from Wolfkatz Engineering. Contact Garrett Katzenstein.
