Your not going to get any extra power out of an N/A 2JZ. With a car that weighs as much as this, and you trying to drift. The N/A 2JZ just doesn't have enough UMPH to be competitive in drifting. Even gutted as much as possible your still looking at 3K pound underpowered sled.

And with the questions your asking, its clear that you haven't done your research when it comes to 2JZ. So before going about and spending tremdous amount of money on mods that will yield minimal results. I'd suggest either going forced induction with either NA-T or GTE swap. Or swapping in a LSX.

Join these two sites and that should point you in the right direction

And do much reading.

Does it have any current issues? If so, start by fixing those before you start modding it.

It's like a guy on another car site I'm a part of... screen name was 850RWHPXXXXX. Problem is, it was at about 250RWHP, and he wanted to know how to get it to 850RWHP... cheaply, because he'd never worked on a car before. He also bought matching plates. Sweet.

I'd recommend doing some research, first... how did you end up with an SC? Did you buy it because you saw one being drifted? Your questions are vague and don't really lend to anyone helping you with your ultimate goal, whatever it might be.

You probably would have been better off buying another 240 for a drift car. Modding the SC for drift is not going to be anything like how the 240 was. Good luck though.
