UPDATED!! NEW PICS! Car is finally back!! Pictures turbo SC300
Well I finally got my car tuned with my 440cc injectors. First of all I want to thank Auto Fitness for their awesome hard work. I want to thank Amir for hooking me up through them. Shane for all his patience, hard work and helping me achieve my goal of having a turbocharged SC300, Rich and Jake for all their excellent hard work, and everyone else that helped. As some of you know in January of 2006 my car was vandalized. Pictures can be seen here https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=201129 . All the body work has been fixed. Emblems were shaved off. Certain body parts were repainted such as front and rear bumper, right door and quarter panel. The whole paint on the car was clear coated. While in the shop the following things were done on the car.
Front Right Tire Rod Ends replaced
Supra TT brakes front and rear
Engine work includes: Supra TT headgasket, ARP head studs, L400 MAF, timing belt and tensioner, serpentine belt and tensioner, front and rear main seals, spark plugs and wires, cap, rotor, Radiator flush and fill, differential fluid change, valve stem seals, water pump, Center Force dual friction clutch, thermostat, cam seals.
Turbo Kit: Walbro Fuel Pump, Supra TT SMIC with fan mounted on it, SAFC2, Stewart Warner boost gauge, Modified XS Power 60mm Turbocharger, Custom Tubular Manifold, 3 inch Downpipe, 3 inch Stainless Steel Single Exhaust, Blow Off Valve (forgot which kind), Turbo XS Boost Controller
Right now boost is at 15lbs. It has not yet been dynoed with the 440’s. The car runs pretty good as of right now but still needs some fine tuning. Gas mileage is decent, and the car smokes every once in a while. The engine will want to die if I get on the throttle hard and don’t stay in gear or if I rev it in neutral past 4k rpm’s.
Let me know what you guys think. Excuse my ghetto rigged boost gauge, that is just the temporary setup for now.
Here are some pictures for now. I will have better ones tomorrow outside during the day.

Your SC looks like an alien species. I love it. The color combo is certainly unique. I bet the Dodge Dart's of Tennessee will hate losing races to your Japanese beauty.
Suggestion: You might black out the chrome window trim. The trim looks like the only bit of chrome on the car at the moment. It may or may not look out of place. I think the car might look more sleek with some 3M blackout tape. It is just a thought.

From what I have read, it will either clearly look better or it will not. Worst case, you waste a couple bucks and have to goo gone your trim to get it back. But, if I had to guess, blacking out the trim will set off your GOLD rims.

Horsepower wise I am around 360-400 rwhp I think. I will get it dynoed hopefully soon. I am using the stock center caps that came on my stock rims. They fit perfect.
The reason I painted the wheels gold was because it was something different. I hadn't seen anybody with gold TT wheels. I am considering painting them black.
