thanks guys well what i think I'm gonna do is make the 400 a stick like all my other cars...then get a ls and supercharge it that's it that's all i been gathering my money and giving things some thought so that's what I'm gonna do! and i want to keep this car so yeah for along time so ima take it slow

 

But he's not a girl...

Your best bet is a 1JZ swap... That or you can buy something with an LS1

 

why you say that i love my sc400 never will i sell

 

Swap the 4.7L 2UZ-FE or maybe even the 5.7 3UR-FE from the Toyota Tundra and use it's transmission, then modify the Diff's to get yourself AWD and better gearing. For the extra bonus, swap a couple turbo's on it and push a 100shot of nitrous.

 

man in my HONEST opinion just UPGRADE to the sc300 reasons why:

3.0 inline 6 2jz motor non turbo (respect turbo or not)

lighter by about 100lbs (don't quote me on the actual weight) due to a lighter motor

way easier to mod because if you decided to go with the gte motor there isn't much to change besided the wire harness.

also if you decided to go na-t like me if you blow the block it's like 500 to replace for a whole motor other then 1000+ for a gte motor.

basically you have way more versatility when it comes to options on how to get more power.

plus you deff want to shave some weight off either car the doors, and hood way a ton

regardless you going to need some back up under the hood to crap all over those types of cars everytime!!

your welcome

 

yeah man i think you should go with his advice it would be a lot cheaper & easier than a 5spd conversion & supercharger on a 400...just sell your 400 and get a 300 do a na-t with 8psi should only cost you about $3000 or do the aristo swap 2jz-gte auto and they sell for $1600 plus another 1400 for the install or just to have more money to be sure you get all the other parts and there you go 2jz na-t or an aristo all for just $3000 also 1jz i hear is pretty cheap too

 

For all that a GTE swap would be easier route.

 

dudeeee, can't you see. think like them them civic owners. put on a bunch of stickers, it beats forced induction any day. MAAD JDM TYTE YO. =p

 

Yeah, so? lol... He'd be unique.

Be the first with a 5.7L SC400!!!! Woot!

 

i will keep all you peps posted!

 

Eh a manual swap will take you one day, and your having fun and cost in the end a whole lot less then any engine swap.
