Today , I will officially mark this day as the day I started tearing apart the 1996 SC300 to bring its drive / powertrain where I want it to be . Every time I am up there North of Atlanta , I will make sure to spend some time with it . Took some pictures so I see the progression and it is well documented 🤗
Fuel System Delivery …goes in first . This monster fuel setup can provide fuel for +2000rwhp on E85 .
1 x Walbro F90000274 fuel pump supports up to +500rwhp on E85 safely
1 x Weldon 2345a fuel pump kicks in on top of the Walbro once power is above 500rwhp
1 x 12an pickup line from fuel cell to Weldon pre filter
1 x 10an pickup line from fuel cell to Weldon filter
1 x 12an Weldon pre filter
2 x 10an Weldon post filters
2 x 10an PTFE Braided Stainless fuel line feed to each end of fuel rail
1 x Fuel Rail with 12 injectors ( 6 x 2433cc / 6 x 1000cc )
1 x Weldon Fuel Regulator
1 x 10an PTFE Braided Stainless fuel return line to fuel cell
1 X FuelSafe Racing Fuel Cell , one of the best in the industry due to their performance and safety features. that is why it is so pricey ….around $2600 🙈 for this size which includes everything on that fuel cell.
1 x Weldon 14000 Controller
Wow!!! I think this is the first car of yours that I have seen using a racing fuel cell! The depth of that trunk area actually looks cavernous with the factory fuel tank removed
thank you Bill …. indeed got the fuel setup in and continue running the stock engine until it is out. In that way , I can check if that monster fuel delivery setup has any leaks and / or everything is plumbed well.

Craig , this thing was in one of the Supra MKIVs I bought some years ago and decided to keep it for a future use like this after parting out that MKIV . If it was only me , being cheap 😂🤪 , would not spend that kind of money on a fuel cell . Its performance and safety features are next to none. Going through it , helped me learn how each part inside it plays a role. I did a bit of modifications though to suit my needs.
I hear you … that space is now empty with the stock fuel tank gone 🙈 .
Two 10 lbs nitrous bottles , one for the engine’s direct port nitrous and one for the intercooler dual loop sprayer , will help push this car forward 🤔 .
Since I have that that rear strut bar , might as well put it in there 😉 .
I sure do hope , this time around , this big power NA-T project will be completed and be done and nothing will derail or change my mind again.
This is how the intake with direct port nitrous setup will look like once installed on the long block.
I have the feeling that the SPA cast exhaust manifold won’t fit a turbo bigger than a Gen 2 PT-7275 even with a spacer due to the first runner being so close the compressor housing 🙈 . Said turbo will only get me to around 1200rwhp which is perfect for the street without so much lag but won’t get me to the dyno numbers I am hoping for with this NA-T 👹 .
I'm just amazed that today we are talking about modern turbos that can achieve 1200whp with minimal lag. I'm thinking back to the early 2000's before VVT-i tuning when the Greddy T-78 and T-88 were the then-current technology turbos for running horsepower numbers in that range.... but with substantial lag. How far we've come

true … got to push a huge turbo like the 88mm in the past to get into the 1200rwhp … turbo technology sure have come a long way
On another note , sold the red SC for $45k today instead of trading it for a 2013 M3. The s65 engines are notorious for bearing issues which kinda scared me so I didn’t trade. Got to get moving on my current project . The guy who bought it told me he drove it home like he stole it 🙈🤣.

Turbo technology has definitely improved greatly since that time!
Congratulations on the sale, Gerry!! Wow excellent sale at $45k!!!
I hope he enjoys and takes care of it, lol! You built a stellar car that deserves the love!
Your caution is understandable with that series of M3. It might be a lot of work if any issues with the bearings were to arise.
Now on to your true monster SC project car, haha! ;D
thanks Craig and Rudy . Selling these cars is a question of having the right buyer and knowing what they are getting . Otherwise you will get tire kickers who think every damn SC are same and are cheap cars .
The buyer knew me well and my toys and have ridden in that car a lot of times so he knows the car well. So the cost wasn’t a question. He has boosted cars and know the cost of building one . And knew this one was well sorted out already.
