Project 1jz Boosted
Well lets start thing off. I'm 19 and I just recently started driving about 2 or 3months. So dad gave me his lexus sc300 automatic ( cant go wrong with a free car and its a lexus) this car has about 190k miles on it and it still runs pretty good . i was debating on keeping this car or getting a civic hatch back . took me a while to decide and i made my decision on keeping the sc because it would be really different since all my friends drive honda ... i dont know much about cars so i been surfing this forum for a while and found good infomation and i give alot of PROP to CL , which i hoping yall can help me w/ my build .
so when i decided to keep it i was bored one night and just surfing the interweb and was on ebay and i saw a 1jz w/ a 5 spd for 2500. i thought about it reallly really hard . so i talk to a couple of my friends and they said not to bad of a deal so i was like heck w/ it im going to buy it ... so i called the place and ask where the located at which was in NJ... im from sweet home alabama ....it was a 15 hour drive .....so i was like hell im going to go pick it up me and one of my friend went and pick it up.... **GOT PIX will post up ***
so now i have a 1jz sitting in my garage ... so we stripped the whole motor ... going to go get the head and bottem end port and polished and whatever need to be done ....my goal is to push atleast 500-600 hp or more.
feel free to give me some suggestion.
what i have done to the car so far was put new shocks and springs.
what i wanna do is redo the interior w/ a nice clean look and exterior do something the same......
as of right now i need to work and make money and ill keep yall posted up

Hmm, I hope you got the 1jz out of a soarer and not a supra.. And if it is a r134 tranny i believe theres some moding to get it to fit. I got my 1jz for like 1300 I think can't remember. But i had a 5spd in my car already so tranny wasen't an issue.

Not to sound old, but
1. If you just started driving you should be getting used to driving, not boosting your car to 500-600hp
2. You are not going to reach those goals with a 1jz, even singled you still probably won't get there...
3. You should spend a little more time researching before dropping $2500 on a motorset that you don't know much about.
All that aside,
4. Good luck with the build

explain to me why he won't reach 500-600 hp? It is really pretty easy on a 1jz....
Please, keep this false information OFF the forums.

With a good chunk of money yes it is possible - but if he is on a budget (like 99% of people) it is not cheap. Obviously it is "doable" - anything is. But likely... no.
So it isn't "false" information

Pretty easy huh How many people on here are making 600rwhp with a 1jz?

What comes to mind is the guy who hit 901whp in his 1j'd SC with stock block.
I'm also building a 1jz SC300 at those power levels, for under 8k, including the price of the car, engine and all materials. I don't know of a more budget-minded individual than me.

with that same reasoning, 600rwhp on any engine would be a stretch. If you have a goal in mind, your budget has to cater to that goal.

I concur. However, you obviously know a lot about your car and the 1jz. The original poster himself stated that he knows very little about cars. Therefore, for someone who doesn't know the cars, he cannot easily slap together a singled 1jz kit and make 600rwhp unless he has some good $$$ to go along with it...

and to answer the question noone else has. to tell if it is a soarer 1j and not a supra 1j is quite simple. check the ecu plugs and refer to this link and the 5th post.http://www.clubna-t.com/forums/showt...0&page=1&pp=30

soarer 1j = rear sump, clutch fan, and 4 row ecu plugs.
supra = front/mid sump, no clutch fan, and 2 row ecu plugs.
The soarer and chaser ECUs are interchangeable, but the chaser body plugs are not the same, and the chaser harness is actually missing 2 ecu plugs (provided in the body harness of the chaser)

As was stated above. It is only a little bit harder to reach those numbers on a 1jz compared to a 2jzgte. A single kit, and cams with a good stand alone and you will be there.

Regardless, all i was saying was please don't post unless you have personal experience. It makes it difficult to weed through relevant information on the forum, and is how rumors get started.
(Quick example is how for years people were swapping out the GE bottom end for the GTE even though they are nearly the same strength.)
