inexpensive turbo
Hello people I am new to this board and don't know why..I have a 1995 SC300 5speed that I am about to do a swap on but anyway.... I own a import performance shop and this year at SEMA I picked up a new Turbo company... Well I was somewhat skeptical about the product due to the price they were very inexpensive.. I bought 5 kits for Civics and Integras.. Well when they arrived I was well amazed...The manifolds looked alot like the Greddy one... It came with a FMIC and all the piping fit perfect.. The Intercooler was just like the one that was in my drag 3 kit for my civic.. Well then it had a secondary injector setup like the FMAX kits with the injector drive box... All the lines was steel braid... The kit was very complete... The civic kit had a Garret T28 turbo...The only thing I didn't like was the inside of the manifold was in need of some attention it wasn't as clean and smooth as I like but about 30 minutes with the porting kit fixed that... OK why am I telling you this well they also had a Lexus kit... My cost on the kit with FMIC and injector drive was like $3250 shipped... Im sure this is nothing like the Toyomoto kit but for that price if someone was on a budget and just wanted a nice small kit then hey maybe.....If anyone is interested I will see if I can get more info... I prob.. would be interested for myself but already bought the 2JZGTE.... Let me know through email or post... Thanks and just a thought

I would really like some more info if you have any...This sounds like a good deal, and I have been trying to compare all kits out there for some time now. Thanks for the heads up on it.

update on turbo
Here is what I know so far... The guy told me he only has the kit right now for the IS200 and IS300 BUT he said the IS300 has been used on a non turbo 95 supra SO Im thinking with slight modification it will work on the SC300s... I think everyone will agree with that to some extent.
Ok here is what the kit comes with
*Cast Style manifold (like Greddy)
*T28 internal wastegated Turbo
*FMU
*Billet block with 2 extra injectors (like FMAX)
*Polished Front Mount intercooler
*Polished alumn. piping
*Blow Off Valve (looks alot like the BLITZ one but a copy)
*All stainless braided lines for oil feed line, oil return line, water feed and return lines (yes its water cooled)
*Secondary injector control box
*Map sensor box (like the one with greddy kits so no check valves has to be used)
*All fittings and hardware
*Down pipe with O2 previsions
etc.... I finally finished the one on the civic I had in the shop today and man the thing runs great if this is any foresight to the toyota kit then Im happy... The secondary injector drive boxes are alittle cheezie but they work... It looks like the company took alot of turbo kits and copied what they liked.. It fit well and like I said the only real thing I didn't like was the inside of the manifold was alittle rough for me but I quickly fixed that... I will try to get pictures soon....

Sounds odd to me because you wouldnt even be able to redline the nice I6 because that turbo would spin far to fast...full spool by 1500rpm and dead by 3500rpm and in an overboost situation.
Also since US sc300's use MAF not MAP that box would not work.
But other than that only the pictures will tell.

sorry I confused everyone
The list I made of what came in the kit was what was in the Civic/Integra kits... I am waiting to get a listed of what comes in the lexus kit... I spoke to the guy on the phone and he said he was getting the information to me 2 day select so like all of you until then I will be sorta in the dark...I had alot of emails asking what was exactly in the kit so I made a list of what was in the kits I had already received... So when the stuff comes then we will all know... Sorry again for the confusion
