Thanks for all the kind words guys but I can't take credit for the work. All the fabrication has been done by a good friend of mine. He does all this work in his spare time at his house. This is just a hobby to him as he owns his own roofing company. I edited post #1 so no one is misled.

Lol I don't think the Benz is getting a 2jz anytime soon. It may be replaced by a Bently Continental soon.

I'll be keeping hp on low boost at @~350-400whp since the motor and tranny are still stock. I still have to get my wheels so it's low boost for now.

The mufflers are actually universal Tanabe Hyper Medallion mufflers. They sound really nice .

I had a budget but that's out the window now. I chose not to go the Ebay route so I'm now over my $4k budget.

I got a few parts from swiftracing.com including the turbo, manifold, haltech f10x and a few other parts. All of the intercooler piping and exhaust were custom fabricated.

Quick update: My GS is completed and tuned and 12psi is fun to drive around with . I could easily put in a boost controller and turn it up to 18psi, but my tranny is still stock except for a B&M tranny cooler, and I'm concerned the tranny might die sooner than later. I will make a complete parts list and completed pics later today or tomorrow.

On to other pics, The SC on page one belongs to my friend who did my car. He obviously does his own work and these are the results . He also did the FD on page 1.

93 sc300 with 2jz-gte twin gt35r swap









NA auto converted to Dodge Viper 6 speed with Corvette shift ****. Try to note other differences.





custom Motec dash

Project FD is also complete and headed to the body shop. My friend also did all the custom work on this car except for the motor swap and wire harness. Some of the progress pics on page 1, Here are the completed pics:





Notice the radiator and fans laying almost horizontal at the bottom. That's the only way they would fit.





A few drinks after a quick test drive to celebrate what seemed to be an impossible project.





PICS OF MY NA-T COMING SOON
