2BlueSC400

I have a 95 SC400 with about 105,000 miles. I've been wanting to do something to that 1UZ since my last one with 247,000, but unfortunately I'm on a tight budget as I'm a full time student. I was wondering what kind of hp gains I would get from intake, exhaust, headers, and a good tune and if the engine can handle it with that many miles. thanks

I'm looking to spend more around 2-3 k and try to get like 100 hp out of it

bfi headers exhaust stand alone and tune should easily see you up to 200+rwhp

+100hp? Come down to earth buddy. For that kind of gains you must go FI.

you could do a turbo or supercharger kit for that price but you woud need a lot of time and skills to fabricate parts in order to keep the price down... you could get a basic supercharger kit from bullet cars and get a used ford m90 from a thunderbrid for about $3250 before cost of installation and you would probably need to fabricate some custom parts to make everything to fit right...so if i were you i would save up a bit longer and try to save up $4500-5500 at that price range you have a lot more options...

well i'm open to other suggestions such as camshafts, but that would be extremely expensive.

97 Sc400
Mods were
BFI
Headers
Full dual mandrel exhaust
Hi flow cats
Dragon TC and a LSD rear (not really power adders)

It put down 228 RWHP, actually pretty respectful for limited mods

What was the baseline?

czar07

228 sounds pretty good. non vvti right?

Well I did not do a base line so i cant be sure, factory was like 265 crank, most guys dyno at 170-190 stock but thats a guess.

that is correct
