Default Turbo 97 SC400 w/Auto & stock block 400hp
Was looking up videos on YT, found this guy who has a lot of recent uploads racing GT500's and other modded cars, beating them!

I'm only posting for those who haven't seen his vids & to find out if anyone knows this guy, or specs on his build?

Very interesting indeed.

T-Mobile FTW!

I wish this dude had an Instagram or something.. His videos are uploaded under " WestpalmGT " as a username for YouTube, I guess just search that?

His name is Sean Musa. And has a page for his build too. Look up Turbo 1UZ SC400 on Facebook

Wonder if it is the VVTI?

If its a '97 then likely not. No sure why they'd swap in a vvt-i into a non-vvt-i car.

Yeah, it isn't. Just replied to my comments in his build page.

Since he blew his old motor, I would not run his last setup, unless I had spare engines. Now, with a fully built motor, shouldn't be a problem. But I've decided I might just build the stock 5spd and go the Vortrch route.

Looking for another post I just came across this. This turbo sc400 is mine. I do have an Instagram with a ton of videos and pics @sc400turbov8. The turbo kit was built by a local fabrication shop called RareFab. The car is currently on a Brog Warner s366 turbo making 550whp. The car is currently still auto but will changed to a 6 speed either next month or by March. If you have any ?s feel free to message me or look me up on FB Sean Musa or go to my Instagram . Thanks for the props hope you enjoy my vids !

i remember when he was building his we chatted about my setup that I haven't even put on my car since rebuilding it. He has since revamped it and has a killer system built by rarefab! they did an amazing job.
