im tell you now before the mods hop on this one, You need to search there have been MANY topics about these questions



On a side note, honestly you would be much better off buying and a supra from 88-98 depending on which engine you want, and use all the parts from the supra for the swap. ECU, wireing harness, drive train everything

Basically you need some parts from the SC300 like the mounts, and whatnot, get a good engine set that comes with a complete harness, ECU, igniter, and so on. The wiring is quite a bit different on the 2JZ but we can make it plug and play for you. There's a thread I wrote about putting a 2JZ into an SC400 a little while back, you may want to take a look at that.

I will sell you a complete ready to run Supercharged 97 SC400 engine or perhaps you would just like to buy a complete turn key supercharger kit?

Bolt on and go!

Right on time! I'd definitely go this round with a 4.0 Liters engine and the supercharger. Drop right in with powerful tq. This setup will pull your butt back immediately at launch, while the other setups might not be able to do that. The fun of driving the car isn't just about the high end hp, but it's the torque at low end. Most of the driving is from 0-60 mph.
