I can't be the only person on this forum who is desperate for information about this swap, can I? How fast is it? How powerful? How awesome? Please tell us.

My question is, how does that inter cooler get any airflow? A much improved performance would be achieved with a front bumper with a lower opening in it. That said it looks awesome.

Very clean and awesome swap! You have a point though, that bumper design is far from ideal for a front mount intercooler. Almost looks like you need two side intercoolers if you're going to use a bumper like that.

A scoop was made at the bottom of the intercooler to catch air. However, a new front bumper is on my list of mods to come.

Top works normal. LUXLINK mod works normal. Can still remote start and drop the top. The double tap to close can serve as a turbo timer as well. Speedo works, tach works, vsc doesn't work, no cruise control.

Amazing and awesome build! Much respect! Do you have any check engine lights? or warning buzzers?

VSC light on and doesnt work. Cruise control doesnt work.

Does the a/c work? How much does that swap run you? Sorry if I missed it but is the engine you're selling come with the tranny or just the long block?
You mentioned you used the turbo tranny for the swap meaning the tranny from the 2jz?

The AC works. It cost enough 😃. Old engine sold. Using the tranny from the 2jz.

DAYUM I love it. I am also about to do the swap I had my single turbo gte going into my 2GS but changed my mind picked up an SC on the low low and thought it would be a perfect candidate. word on the street is your running JDM aristo ECU. correct? is so are you running dual ECU configuration to still control your cluster and everything else. i have spoke to doctor tweak @tweakedperformance in regards to a harness and i am about to get that underway. also i like how you kept the Front reinforcement bar. what are the specs on that FMIC. Thanks in advance

This is a very nice mod, I wonder if anyone has ever installed an LS1 into the SC430, guess it would make it an SC570! ;-)
