Ok....I can't take it anymore
MODS please forgive me....I have been searching and searching and cannot find a cheat for all of the motor acronyms and it is driving me crazy.
I have four Lexi in the family in the following order of purchase:
1998 LS400 155K purchased in 02 Mods Eibach springs/borla exhaust/injen intake/silver jade
2001 LS430 122k purchased in 06 sport sus/vias ipod adaptor/19 inch Moda R5/white/injen intake/L tuned exhaust
2007 ES330 21K (wife's) purchased in 08 Bone stk white
and finally
1995 SC400 purchased in March 09 that has a vin of jt8uz30c3500***** that I just brought up for FLA...the outside is super clean and I will post pics. Problem is...I want to put on an M90 Supercharger. I would like to put on S&S headers and an ignition module. I also was toying with the idea of an w58 tranyswap but with all of the engine shorthand I cannot figure out what is being dropped for the shake of simplicity. Is there some where I can go to bone up on my engine speak?
The seller said this car was perfect for the would be perfect for 2JZGTE or 1JZ swap. I know one of those is the inline 6, what is the other one?

Read this knowing it is coming from a guy that is an import enthusiast and had never owned a domestic nor bought into the "no replacement for displacement"
man keep the V8. With what guys are doing with them I would keep it and mod it. I am going to be looking for a GS400 to mod. you can put the transmission in your want with the adapter plates that have been made. Check out the threads on here about the builds. ScottURnot had one. SC400TT has another monster one. RedPhoenix just put a 154 in his I believe.
There is a ton you can do to them. At times I wish I went with an SC400 to mod the V8 but I was after the GTE swap when I bought mine.

more pics
Yeah, this came out of Jax, nice enough, I have a new wheel for it...grabbed a new shifter off someone here last week. Have a Lex guy that is going to help me with some of the little things. Have new wood coming in for the dash...there was a bit of amatuer hour stuff on it...like things removed and not fastened back down correctly but nothing that cannot be address in a couple of hours. The motor has 200k on it and zero launch! My 430 has more giddy up at this point and yes I under stand it has more ponies and bigger heads but for pete sake it also out weighs it too.
As far as the suspension it is perfect expecially considering these North East potholes. I am going to toy with it for a bit but if I get bored it will go up for sale here.
Today's mod is the Kenwood 5120 going in with the metra kit so there will be Navi! Yes!
What is the best MOD for the antanee? I hear that Honda has something that everyone uses? I am not going to spend money on shaving. Everything is going in the engine.
