LS1.........There is 400whp of N/A power in a lighter weight motor then what is in your SC400 now...Does no one see the light and potential of this swap? ..

damn noob. you suck at searching
a 1jz is 2.5liter straight six. never came in any usdm cars
you'll find them in soarers, supras, and chasers elswhere
a stock supra twin turbo engine is a 2jz-gte 3liter straight six
and engine set would consist of engine, harness and ecu. transmission may be included as well. a front clip is just the front have of the car chopped off.
the best engine swap you can get for an sc400 would be a b18c5. why would you want a 1jz those things are crap. vtec ownz![Thumb Up](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
try searching on clubna-t.com you'll find a lot more answers there than you ever will on CL.

Yeah, but it will however drop right in if you get the tranny to go with it too....Ls1 ECU as well...Just customize the motor mounts, tranny mounts and a have a custom driveshaft made to hook the tranny up to toyotaLexus Differential and there you go...Fit and make mods to the exhaust and your good to go if you can somehow integrate all the wiring successfully.... What motor Lexus swap is exactly a perfect drop in swap? Is there such a thing?

with the 1jz, it's drop in (so long as you have the sc300/1jz motor mounts), it bolts right to the drive shaft (if you have a 400, you need a 300 drive shaft), the trans bolts right into place, and the wiring harness stays 90% the same, you have to extend it 2 feet, but once extended, everything but the tach and the water temp gauge work...

Yeah your right...But you still won't get half the N/A power out of the even heavier 1JZ motor now will you? Like you said wiring every thing up would be a monster of a challenge...That is what is holding me back from that swap right now...Don't think I can meet the wiring challenge head on. I fear that part of the swap...However a stand alone ECU can help matters out some, and one wire at a time for instrumentation could be possible.... Anything is possible..
Tell me would a 400whp LS1 engine with a matching corvette tranny be a riot hidden under the hood of an SC..Sneaky and powerful....Man then you can turbo, supercharge and really murder the competition, sky is the limit.....Let alone probably accomplish and go where no man has gone before.....I would love to be the first to do this swap but don't yet have the set of ***** to pull the trigger and give it a go...I am all talk...

the 1jz wiring is simple, extend 40 wires, thats 80 total solder connections with shrink wrap - simple...
who cares about n/a power... it's all about the power the motor makes...
