Hey, I was looking into doing a Turbo SC300 as well, as I don't have one yet, and am looking for a car to do this on, what should I look for?

I want to get an automatic (will it hold?) Is one year better than another? And how much does that toyomoto kit run?

Murdock

 

no the automatics will not hold... they are weak and will blow up

get a manual don't get an automatic; fast automatic cars SUCK... trust me, i know, i had one

 

i have missed this latest stuff......Toyomotos old sc300 auto went 11s on the stock tranny with a shift kit...you can also stuff supra auto internals into the lexus tranny with enough cash.....so the stock 5spd will hold 12s...the stock auto will hold 11s...now how long and how good of shape its in will determine alot......both are very solid.......the car is a very solid platform to start with.......but you will need $$$ to go for 500+rwhp

 

i thought you said they were weak?
maybe i'm thinking of something else

 

i have never said the stock auto was weak......it is quite potent for a stock tranny

 

maybe i'm thinking of the issue with the shift kit; where the car has a shifting problem with lots of hp applied
answer my nos question in the main forum will ya?

 

shift kit is pretty cheap...and easy to do...no issues on the shifting

 

Jeff...can you hook me up with wherever you were getting the 5-speeds for $500? I just know I'm gonna kill mine right off tha bat, and I don't have $6k to invest in the 6-speed/LSD swap at the moment....

just have to call local junk yards..and ask for a suprs n/a 5spd or a lexus sc300 5spd...93-98....theres quite a few out there....a few less after i was done but there out there...Jeff

 

compwiz, just look in those places mentioned; and check the importer places that import junkyard pieces from japan...
ask for a W58 transmission

and the 6-speed swap shouldn't cost $6k if you do the labor yourself
