Hyundai... ever wonder why they have the 100k/10yr warranty? Another headache waiting to happen.

SC300, same motor as the MKIII Supras and IS300. The motor is super reliable hence the reason why people have 1000whp Supras and IS300, the engine literally will last forever if it stays stock.

Yeah, the 2JZ motors are insane, they can handle god-like boost pressures, I remember seeing someone driving for 70k miles boosting at 32 PSI on STOCK INTERNALS before it blew.

Not bad, I didn't think about the SC300. Only prob is, that where I live, I can't do white. Too much pollen, salt, and other shat in the air that gets the car dirty within hours. Not to mention I am sourrounded by trees where I live so they excrete shat all over our cars just overnight. Gatta be a color where I can hide these things.

Mike: Have you ever taken apart a 2JZ? The walls between each cylinder is like godlike thick, that's why it's able to maintain such high boost.

The best part about non-tubo 2JZ is that you get pretty good gas mileage.

Just do a turbo swap, it takes about two-three hours. It's very easy.

haha, yes, but I am looking to buy a DD I don't have to put any money into except maintenance so I can save up for a new 8. Turbo swap = cizash. My ultimate goal is to get another 8 ASAP.
