Default Tweak'd Performance 2JZ-GTE SC300 Engine swap

Hello CL, I figure it's about time I share with the community my current project at work. 1992 SC300 5spd under going a GTE swap, with some minor upgrades.
Enough with the chit chat...on with the pictures!

The Car



When we first started gathering parts for the build.


Competition Stage 4 6 puck copper ceramic clutch with HD pressure plate



Miscellaneous OEM parts from Toyota


Garrett High Density 600whp Intercooler



The day the engine arrived

Haha, we kept the factory twins. We just went with a Garrett FMIC. We will be installing an AEM Tru-boost so we can play a little with the boost levels, but nothing wild. We want to keep the car reliable.

Pulled off the Aristo auto trans



I then started "freshening up" the engine. All new OEM seals and gaskets.




Lightweight Aluminum polished pulley kit



New OEM Toyota Supra water pump

Looks sweet man!

That Garrett intrercooler looks very nice. How much are those if you don't mind? And who makes that pulley set?

Best of luck.

Yes, the pulley set was purchased from Driftmotion. The Garrett intercooler retails for $495 from ATP Turbo.

I don't think our customer has any particular power goal in mind. Atleast, if he does, he has not mentioned it to us. We're just going to turn up the boost a little and what she makes she makes. We're building this car for reliability, but also something that our customer can have some fun with!

Yep, TT that's the best way to do...stack the parts, tear down, then rebuild. Nicely done
