lexus V8 AFM

[Ravan17]

I am ordering the v8 lexus afm today and i need to know exactly which LS400 it is, this is wat i have going into order tomorw morning:

1998 Lexus LS400 V8 AFM
part # 1770550060

that is just for the HOUSING part , no electronic since i can swap out my own right? i need to know this asap so i can place my order

[Ravan17]

this is really urgent...i need the answer ASAP please...and thank you, dont mean to be annoying

[Brown Duckz]

Well there is only one LS400, from 95-2000. If you don't count the old school model, the new ones are a 430. The part numbers should be EXACTLY the same from 95-2000. If you got any other questions shoot-

[Ravan17]

ok i got it, 99.9 percent sure its it, since there is only one late LS400 model, should be here wednesday, the day that im off and the day before school starts , hopefully i can get it tuned then, wish me luck, also, this guy that is tuning is aem certified and is really good at think, how long do you think it will take him to get it tuned on the dyno? more then an hour? b/c i cant affford 2 hours right now....its 125 to dyno tune it on the dyno.....so any guestamates?

Sigh....

you need the 250-260hp LS400 AFM... 91-97... dont think the VVTI model will work

Why didnt you just order it from the links posted all over the place for it?
Why are you swapping the housing out? Why not just purchase the entire thing? *shakes head*

[Ravan17]

from everything i read it was stated that u could use the stock electronic part, why would i swap that out if mine is good? and why pay for the electronic when the housing cost me 50 bucks from lexus? will it not work? its from a 98 ls400 and it is the V8 afm housing

[Bean]

yeah but remember how the I6s went from karman vortex to hotwire with the VVTI changeover in 98... i'm thinking the V8s did the same thing... a hotwire wont work with your setup... which happened in 98 when the GS400 came out... it made 300hp and the LS400 made 290

you can pick up an LS400 AFM for $50 shipped... why not swap it out? so you can have the extra part handy if you go stock, etc...

I'm not positive its the electronics that are the same... it might possibly read slightly differently... if you've read differently can you post the sources? All knowledge is good stuff :)

[Ravan17]

why does it matter if the sensor is hotwire or karman? that is why im swaping out the electronic part of it, which like stated above , there is only one type of ls400 so the parts should be thesame neways, i duno, i gues i'll see tomroww

The electronics are the exactly the same, even the part#s are the same, I have both. I have double/triple checked.

Bro, don't stress over it, don't try local Lexus dealers, they quoted me $1000+ for a V8 AFM, no joke.

The one you need is from 1UZ-FE V8 4.0L LS400 (90~94) or SC400 (90~94). 95~96 might work, but lets be absolutely safe, anything from 90~94 is 100% sure.

There are quite a few on ebay right now or make a WTB post on Supra forum both local section and national section.

These housing with these part#s are suppose to work:
22250-50010
22250-50030

22250-50011
22250-50031

[Ravan17]

yo man, again ,thanks for being so helpful, i just need to get this peice so i can get the car tuned...i havent been able to enjoy it fully yet, just 15psi of untuned boosting, also waiting for the o2 sensor adaptor to come in from booslogic....kean said monday..its not wednesday

[Ravan17]

one more quick question, is the inlet and out let different sizes too? like the adapter part of it? b/c i have my stock one installed now, and i bought an air filter adaptor for it and i was wondering if i could reuse it

You can definitely reuse it, I also had air filter adaptor and I reused it with no problems.

There are a few on ebay right now, look like there are 2 at decent price. There is also Lexus AFM available on the FS section of this forum for $125.

the inlet and outlet ID is a little bigger, but the OD is the same or close enough not to matter. I used the same airfilter adapter on my V8 AFM.

Sorry you're having so much trouble, remember you could have ordered one of the 6 that were posted for you last week and have had it in your possession by now.

But anyway, I'm done with this for obvious reasons. No more postings in this thread for me.
