Default 1992 SC400 Turbo Kit

I was wondering if I could get some insight from you guys on here... I was wondering if

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/DIY-3...Q5fAccessories

would fit my 1992 lexus sc400

there has been no modifications to the engine at all it is completely stock.
I didn't know if I would need something more than this kit...

That is just the intercooler kit....

You will still need a good 3000$ to put together a turbo kit.
You wouldn't even be able to put this on your car

Do your research:

Don't bother. They closed the Prom thread.

OP, like mentioned above, you should google the word "Turbo". Maybe even check out the page on howstuffworks.com That's a great way to understand what turbos are and how they work on a very basic level.

The answer is yes those parts can be made to work your car............ but you still need some parts such as a turbo manifold, turbo, oil return lines, BOV, wastegate...... you get the point of what everybody is trying to say I hope. And you better know a good fabricator. The end.

Well, insulting people who would be able to educate you is certainly the best way to go about learning.

Grow up.

Just curious if you read this before you posted the comment below.

Now this post shows your age. There are quite a few people on here with the knowledge to get you where you need to go. However next time leave out the attitude and start with: I am 15 years old... this is my first car and I am still learning about the engine. This way you will get some respect and help.
