Searching the forums I can't find anyone whom has successfully swapped in an Th400 transmission into a Lexus..This has been talked about before....Anyone know if this swap has been done yet?...I would love to see the results....Does it redline the engine practically while driving on the freeway, and what ECU was used in that swap?
I am getting frusterated with my stock Sc400 auto trans...I lose races because of the tranny...Example: I am cruising at 30mph or so and hit the juice the car rev's like crazy and goes nowhere, I release the gas and it kicks down then I floor it again and it moves...It's almost embarrassing as it is all noise and no go...From a dead start the auto tranny functions well in all gears but racing while moving there is way too much delay with this Lexus auto tranny..I am ready to ditch this tranny....Increased line pressure and shift kits are not the answer either...Building up the tranny for more Horsepower holding capacity is nice but does not help with timely shifting....Maybe a stand alone ECU will help some with shifting, not sure about that either....Any cost effective suggestions for my hinderance?
Don't want the R154 or V160 manual swap either in LA traffic...
I am thinking seroiusly about breaking out the welder and getting into a serious swap with a Corvette/Camaro LS1 engine, ECU, and auto tranny. Then deal with the instrumentation integration...What do you guys think of that swap in an SC400?
