So i just bought a soarer 1jz-gte r154 front clip with 30,000miles 170-180 compression down all 6 cylinders. I am going to be putting this swap into a 1992 sc300 Toyota 4A (A343E) 4 speed auto. I just have a few questions about my parts list.

1: will the stock soarer front half of the driveshaft fit with my 4speed auto rear half?

2: what would be "your" first upgrade?(down pipe, exhaust, BOV, exc) and what manufacturer or kit would you recommend?

My swap write up coming soon.

Watching.

...and my first upgrade would be exhaust.

Thats what i am thinking, i found hks super dragger for $300. i will be getting clip on sat. 2 days and it begins!

Yes since you have a 92/93 car, your driveshaft should come apart the same way Mk3 supras/soarers do. with 4 bolts.

First upgrade I would say is save your money for a single turbo, cause you'll blow those ceramic twins. Trust me.

i believe the first upgrade you should do would not be related to your new engine. i would do the brakes first, upgrading to the ls calipers, rotors, and pads and then suspension. with all that done, then power mods...single turbo.

the same shop i bought the clip from has the rear sub-frame. what you guys think about that?

joewitafro

No. If your upgrading the rear subframe, find a Mk4 TT rear sub.

do those bolt right up?

and whats the difference?

joewitafro

yes it bolts right up, its beefier, you can get them with LSD, and you will have upgraded sway bars and such.

I have some questions about the 1jz-gte swap i am going to be installing.
1. am i going to need new clutch lines?
2. am i going to have to use the 1jz-gte r154 brake pedal system (master cylinder, brake pedal,exc..)?
3. whats the best way to post pics?

looks very good. id do a exhaust first. i just got mine done and i gained a dyno proven 56 hp from it

Should be an easy swap, since you got the clip. I would kill for a 5 speed Soarer clip.
