Swapping The Engine (sc300)


Recommended Posts

here is what's going on,

after 6 years of saving it's finally ready!

i'm lookin to get atleast 600hp

i have a 1997 sc300, i bought a JDM Toyota Supra TT motor with vvt-i (ecm included)

what i'm asking here is if anyone can see if i am missing something. the last thing i want to do is get half way through this project and get blind-sided by a 1,000 dollar part i didn't expect to buy

i have the pistons and rods (forged and balanced)

what i expect to buy is:

engine gasket set

exhaust manifold

turbo

3'' piping

intercooler

100mm throttle body

air plentum

fuel injectors

fuel pump

turbo timer

am i missing something? or even better am i buying something i don't need to?

i was told the toyota ecu is programable (unlike the lexus chip)

you need a transmission. If you're trying to swap an auto into a manual, then you need to buy a clutch, master and slave cylinder. Also don't forget to buy a 3inch radiator. Change the thermostat and water pump while you're at it so you don't have to go through the hassle of changing later. Your engine should already come with a leak down test warranty, exhaust manifold, turbo, and fuel injectors already. so you don't need to buy those parts, only if you're planning to upgrade.

the engine i had found on ebay, it was from JDM Direct in NJ. i'm working out the engine myself and doing all the physical labor. my mechanic has a few friends in the Davie/Hollywood area with a dyno to tune it.

3 inch radiator eh? thanks, ya i was rebuilding the engine from the ground up so water pump and thermostat were on the agenda. i was thinking of getting about 600 horse power do you think stock injectors could still work?

no, you have 330 stock injectors you'd need at least 550's
