SC300 Help
hey guys I'm new to this forum and im going to buy a SC300, i would like to get a 98 99 or 2000. and my question is. Are the VVT-i engine good for turbo?
How much horsepower do they hold safely.
Thanks
Frank

yes you can put a turbo, alot of the IS guys do, i would put the mark as close to 400hp. But your biggest worries with NA-T is the compression in the engine so your limitted by that nonetheless. I would call 400hp safe on VVT-I but if you search there are posts on the limits of these engines.
