Just a quick and dirty start for the swap to make sure everything is good. Motor runs perfect but there’s still much to do. I’m super happy with the sound of the exhaust.
Been a fan for years. Glad to see this challenging setup finally making noise for you. Very inspiring for my 89 pickup - 90 ls400 swap, and I can't skip the x pipe
@@brostjoe I may grab ebay headers or tundra headers because the ls400 and sc400 headers have always looked too homebrew to me. Will be using 2 1/4 as recommended by cartunenz. Have not seen sc430 headers fitted up but very interested, thank you for the idea
@@kraptastic333 far as I can find the PPE are the only off the shelf headers available. I am most likely going to try them in the SC430 configuration as they are tightest to the engine to help with clearance for a swap.
Yep. Stock ecu. I like running the stock ecu because it runs perfectly. Just like when it was in the original chassis. The 1uz vvti is the best option if you don’t plan on boosting. But they can still handle 5-7 pounds with good tuning.
@@yotaripThank you so much for the reply. For me the vvti makes a lot more sense. More hp, and better fuel mileage. I’ve also seen your posts on Facebook and I’m super interested in your automatic vvti swap as that’s what I want to do to my 98 automatic 2wd Tacoma.
The fuel filter is a filter/regulator for Chevy LS motors. It’s on the firewall just under the “L” in the Lexus decal. It acts as filter and pressure regulator. The vvti motor doesn’t have a regulator on the fuel rail.
@@yotarip from what I’m reading I need something minimum 40psi at the regulator ? Also what’s the part # on that filter you got? I’ve looked and only can find a in/out 2 port filter

X pipe makes them sound so good
X pipe, stock SC430 headers and equal length 2.5” all the way back?

@@brostjoe stock sc400 exhaust manifolds (non vvti) and yes 2.5” all through.

What front bumper is that? And lower valance?

Is this running on the stock Lexus ecu? I’m really leaning toward a vvti swap as I never plan on boosting.

how are your fuel filter lines routed??? also how did you get the cluster to talk with the 1uz??
