Thanks Shane the new addition is great so excited to see her that I been putting my sc on the back burner. . I been wanting to get this sc on the road so I can free up the garage space. Cross my mind a few times on selling it. Still thinking bout selling it but maybe that will change after I get it done. I sent the shifter housing to get welded by a guy with a jig. I would have never cut it up if I knew that extending just the shifter would work. After seeing 97-sc300 6 speed swap it would been easier to cut the shifter. Hopefully next weekend it will be up and running. Brought some more parts for it in hopes of making it mint like yours.

Is this turbo good for a na-t setup with tt hg and arp head studs. What manifold would this turbo work with without hitting the shock tower.

Did you get it with the 90 degree bend or without?

The BW S366 is a great turbo for the 2JZ or 1JZ. I have it on my 1JZ,, little laggy, but overall when it comes in it comes on strong. The help of cams also provides a little spunk...

The car will a sleeper once done. I wouldnt sell it, just keep it on the back burner until things settle down with the new family. Congrats, on the new born...

GL on your decison and your build.

Thanks trancuongv for the TT wheels and diff which i'm picking up tomorrow.



Brought LS400 brakes from xspsi6 which were painted red. I got bored at work and polished them



Then I made a cover for the transmission hole from the auto at work



Aircraft grade fastners called HiLoks to attach to the frame for the cover I made



Next thing I will do is put everything back together to get the car started and make sure the tranny is in good shape. Then I would like to at least polish the TT wheels if anyone has a good technique (less time consuming way) to polish the wheels. It was so much work to get a decent shine on the calipers I couldn't imagine doing all 4 wheels. I think I am done with the car for awhile to I can piece together a na-t kit. Definitely will get a BWs366 since its within the budget for a new turbo. My goal is a 500whp sleeper.

Car currently has 215k miles on it. I'm going to see how beefy this motor really is. Compression is decent. Lol. Highest mileage original block sc turbo. Lol.

Just order stainless brake lines for the sc. Mine were cracked. Haven't pick up the diff or the tt wheels yet. Hopefully Monday been busy this weekend. I can't find my ls400 rotor or brakes at home either. It sucks when you have so much crap in my garage. Lol slowly but surely the car will get done with stage 1. Maybe I can drive it next weekend.

I love the polished calipers. Nice touch in the braking department. I also like the fact of the turbo choice, should reach your goals without any problem with room to grow.
