bean_8044 Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 It would work, but i dont think its the best for your application. If you check the ClubLexus forums theres alot of info about turbocharging the SC400. I think most people are reporting around 5-6k for total cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Hard2Handle Posted April 16, 2005 Author Share Posted April 16, 2005 yea but this guy is selling it really cheap this came off of a wrx 98 tho...and how much would it cost me to buy the mod kit for it would it be cheaper then 5-6 k?

bean_8044 Posted April 16, 2005 Share Posted April 16, 2005 Well, you still have to add in custom headers, the intercooler, piping for the intercooler, upgraded fuel system and some kind of ECU to deal with the boost. You could make a budget kit and it would help if you knew how to weld, but it wont be better in the long run. Best bet is to take it to a shop unless you feel comfortable with welding and taking your engine apart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sircpeedy300 Posted April 17, 2005 Share Posted April 17, 2005 first off, a turbo of that size is barely gonna do anything for ya. take into consideration of the cars weight and the turbos peak hp. 320 is nothing and everyone above is right. the cost of parting a kit together would be almost as much as a kit with a larger turbo. plus a 98 wrx, i garuantee it has shaft play or oil leaks.

sc300ccret Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Simple honest answer. No. It won't work. I define work as being properly sized for the motor and providing the proper flow. Its simply too small. Two things to consider here: If you can't afford to do it right, don't do it. Cheap and turbo lexus do not go in the same sentence.

JDOwen2 Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 Check out turbo's. My nephew does the fabrication and welding on the exhaust manifolds. Give them a call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzz30 Posted April 19, 2005 Share Posted April 19, 2005 yea expect to pay at least 1500 bucks from them but you will have super nice manifolds. as long as you have two of the turbos then it should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
