Thanks guys!! I just hate loosing!!!. i know my 1jz single turbo will take care of all my problems. for now i am going to try the BFI and deleting the cats, also replacing the oem mufflers for magnaflows or any of those that have better flow.

Why is it hard to accept that defeat?, that was my buddy's G35 we just came back from the dyno and he pot down to the wheels 225hp????....and 200fpt. that is the same as a modded out civic..lol....sad part is that i did have all my tools in the trunk and our cars are hevy as F$%^!!!!

Forced Induction

Edit: why not buy yourself a nitrous setup. You could transfer that to your 1jz when you get it, so it won't be a loss.

LOL

I have a stock sc400 and it has enough power for my liking.

A good exhaust system and intake is as far as I would probably go.

At the end of the day it is a luxury car.

But good luck any which way you choose to go about it.

Default Wheel spin

"sad part is that i did have all my tools in the trunk "

Don't waste $$ on LSD. For two bucks put a sack of ready mix in the trunk next to the cd changer. Guaranteed to reduce wheel spin!

Repeat: Wait for the swap.....

Sorry SC4 is slow unless heavily modded. If you want fast forced induction is the way to go.

How about a bigger TB (if there's any for this car) no cats, some straight 3 inch exhaust mandrel bent piping and tuning. I got a Honda and that mod (3 inch exhaust) is very popular with my type of engine, I suppose it will work for the SC400 as well, plus the CR is the almost the same as my Honda engine so I don't see why not.
