Sc300 Turbo The 5spd

[Sc3002jz_ge]

ne help to turbo a 5spd sc300

1. is the fmax turbo kit streetlegal in california and howmuch is it

2. is it cheaper to just custom fabricate a turbo into the sc300

because i will work at rev hard where the custom fabricates turbos in cars

[AWJ]

What about Rev Hard? They are making an application for the SC? Get a "kit" or a set-up from an established company that gives a warranty. If you don't know how to install - you should pay someone who does. Learn as much as you can. Start in the faq.

[Sc3002jz_ge]

Im still not sure if the fmax kit or ne other kit is street legal in the us if it is ill get that instead cuz its just bolt on and easier but rev hard can custom fabricate for 3gs

[speedimij]

the fmax turbo kits are $4999.00...

[Sc3002jz_ge]

id rather swap cuz the supra engine is like 5gs <_<

[TwenTurbos]

Streetimports.com sells the 2jzgtte for $4495 , without trans, and turbos... you can get the whole swap done at turboimports.com in Austin or Powerhouseracing.com , but the swap is going to run you with labor anywhere from $9,500 up to $11,000.

[speedimij]

why not just buy the 1jzgtte? cheaper!

[Sc3002jz_ge]

1jz-gte haha howmuch would a swap like that be i live in california land of the enviromentalist :chairshot: u think it would be street legal

[TwenTurbos]

Go to Turbo Imports email them and ask for Clint. I am sure he will he more than happy to answer your questions. Street Imports sells the 1JZ for $999.00 for motor only. No idea on what the whole swap would cost.

Cheers

My .02$ -

The 1jz is not supported in the states. It will be hard to get replacement parts, support and it will not pass emissions in Cali. It is a great motor and if that is what the enthusiast wants - by all means go for it. It will be expensive and difficult. More so than the 2jz-gte.

Best bang for the $ is to slap a turbo on a GE motor. This isn't the first time or the last time I will type this statement.

[speedimij]

if you're in cali... hit me up... i can get you smogged. <_<

[Sc3002jz_ge]

haha ill hit u up when im gonna get my car smogged and i might just do the swap for the 2jz-gte either that or turbo the engine but not sure howmuch it would be if i custom turbo it instead of kits cuz i heard most of the kits for the 2jz-ge is street illegal in cali

[TwenTurbos]

good luck with your turbo install, let me know how it all works out.

Cheers

[speedimij]

everything in cali is illegal... when i get the money i'm gonna get the 1jz... muahabahahhahahhahahhahahaha

btw... when's the next cali meet?

I have a '96 SC300 auto. and I'm goin for the Turbo as well. The path I'm taking right now is this- search junkyards to find a Supra 2JZ GTE and buy the Turbo before it rotts out. Hey it's been done before and if you're lucky the junkyard you find the turbo at will be run by a woman who knows nothing about cars and will sell you the turbo for $50 because she doesn't know what it is- yeah, that's a true story.

[Bubbles]

you can't just take the gte turbos and stick them in the ge motor. That is if you only want good looks. :whistles:

[OneHotLexus]

I disagree, I know you can't just take the turbo and throw it under the hood and bam you've got a fully functional turbo workin for you. But to put it in is not a difficult task. First of all you bolt the turbo on and you've got most of the job done. A turbo from a 2JZ GTE can be put on GE. I mean I could be wrong, but it's been done before.
