ok so I have been on the hunt for an sc300. I have been looking for about a month now and I find a couple here and the for about $3500-$4000 for a 92-95 with around 170k on odometer. However I have been finding sc400s(same years and mileage) for the same price or less. I was planning on turboing the 300 but I don't think there are any turbo kits for the 400, are there? If so great and I will pick up one of the 400s. Anyways to the point, if I can pick up a 400 cheap enough I would most likely swap in a 1jzgte. What is the general/ballpark price you guys have paid for that motor and tranny installed? Sorry for the new guy question but I don't want to jump the gun and get a 400

Well, you need much more additional things for a 1j swap into the SC4 than the SC3. If you're really intent on a 1jz, go for the SC3. Just wait to find a good one.

There are turbo SC4's all around. Search.
Installation, well, try it yourself if you can. You'll learn plus, its fun as hell.

but I've heard about 3400 installed. B/S if you ask me.

Welcome.

Thanks for the help guys. How about a 2jzgte into a 400? I don't have as much time to look as I would like as I am
moving in 4 months to a area where imports are hard to find Anybody have a link to a turbo sc400? I am doing all this from
my phone and searching and trying to find all that stuff is a bugger.

Correct me if im wrong, but wouldn't doing a 2jzgte swap in an sc400 be way more trouble and money instead of just waiting it out for an sc300 and boosting the 2jzge w/ a big turbo instead of settling for small twins, that way you get more power and still save alot more money.

or you could buy the 400 and mod it while realizing that you are not driving a race car!

Don't know what part of WA you in but there's a 5 spd SC300 on Craigslist. No pics though but the description says it has a 97+ conversion on it with a JIC style or majic bodykit. Red in color on S. Tacoma Way. Also check out the the Supra Store. They have a few turbo kits out there for the 300 as well.http:/seattle.craigslist.org/tac/ctd/971393223.html

if you are asking those kind of questions get the sc300 whichever route you decide to go. it will save you time and energy. it is arguable how much easier it is than a 400, but the fact is it will be easier.

Yeah it is. If I would have known that before I would've went with a 300 in the first place. Oh well I guess I'll do what the Honda boys around here do and just get another. 5sp of course so I can boost it.

Its hard finding a good condition 5spd. If you already have a car your better of just swapping it.

P.S. apparently my car is originally from seattle

Guess I will just hold out for a 300 then. Thanks for the help guys.

300 or 400 don't matter just get that **** and it will make you happy
having a gs300 and a sc400 though and being in area with no performance shops
I'd say get the 400 cause that v8 will make you smile
