Spinning Sushi 06-07-2009 06:46 PM

Nice, now all you have to do is turbo it and you'll have a semi-Supra. :)

driftpaRx7 06-07-2009 06:56 PM

sorta... Motor is getting pulled... low compression pistons in... new H rods, new head gasket, valve train. then turbo and all that jazz.

my Ideal goal is about 800 rwhp.

Aka.. what this guy has...( a friend of a friend)

I see, so you're doing a track only car?

driftpaRx7 06-07-2009 07:02 PM

might be a drift car...

for now.. it's going to be a big slow just relaxing boat to drive... ;)

Definitely 2x slower than any 8... doubleGoose pulls away like a pudgy kid pulling a wrapper off a chocolate bar..frigging fast compared to me ...

too much weight... 3700lb's curb..

mscamp02 06-07-2009 07:30 PM

drift that shiz for sure man!

lepichichi 06-08-2009 02:47 PM

nice ride waht type of engine does it have, is it the same as a supra???

GL in the project

Kel Rx8 06-08-2009 08:42 PM

nice making a Soarer

driftpaRx7 06-08-2009 11:18 PM

Not going to fully convert to soarer...


Supras came in turbo and non turbo

2jz-gte is the turbo version..
2jz-ge is the non turbo version

All sc300's stock come with the 2jz-ge

A common swap to convert to soarer.. is go 1jz-gte.
that's a turbo motor..

But I think I'm going to join the NA-T Sc300's and Supras... ;)

Turbo a NA motor

So some of you guys might know... but started to mod the poop out of this luxury mobile..

Oh and Ted is moving in next door...

Air ride system, Wheels are getting refinished, and Body kit is going on.

Air ride went on and is about 70% complete.

Needs a new shifter... that one kinda looks like a penis...

Just saying.

driftpaRx7 06-30-2009 10:42 PM

yeah I agree... I can't even twist this sucker off.. I'm going to get this sucker off... and switch to something nice..

EMart11b 06-30-2009 10:52 PM

That air ride suspension is baller, I'll have to see it again when it's done!

sinned2545 07-01-2009 12:56 PM

hey jack how much does the 2jz-GTe motor run for??? my friend has the same SC300.. but hes thinking of putting in the big daddy motor...

driftpaRx7 07-01-2009 08:04 PM

$2500-5000
from importers

Almost all of them.. are supposedly from a low mileage car.. blah blah blah
and supposedly comes complete..

(I went through a couple swaps... always missing crap.. or something awful, like dented in oil pan, or random thing snapped and who really knows how much mileage is on it?
or the engine harness has a part cut )

But big daddy motor is usually worth it if you have over 5k to throw at it..

and he needs a tranny to match it.

I'm running into this problem.. so my high hp number might be out of reach for now.

I think just check compression.. if good.. throw a Head gasket on.. head studs.. and turbo the motor to like 10-15 psi instead for about 1800.
