Hello everyone, I am pretty new to this site but I have seen some awesome build threads and I wanted to start my own on my 1992 sc300. I bought it with 156k miles non-turbo with an automatic transmission, aftermarket pulleys and a supra suspension. The only things that I have done to it are change the oil and I am in the process of changing the clutch fan into electrical fans that will be operated by a switch.

Here is a list of the mods that I planned out:

GL man. First thing i'd do is tackle that rear panel and anything else like it!

Thanks! I've been trying to find one but it's so rare to find one near me that's not rusted believe it or not that is the only piece of rust on the whole car. I'm supposed to be getting my other fan today and hopefully finishing up the electric fan setup tomorrow morning.

This car is only going to be kept inside the garage until it is finished so I'm not too worried about the rust just yet.

UPDATE: Got the electric fans installed with a switch planning on getting a new mishimoto radiator if this one gives me problems after the first couple turbo runs. Notice that one is bigger than the other this is because I messed up my order when I ordered the 16" and had to wait a bit for a 12" to finish it off.

Like others have said get that rust fixed ASAP. Then change that crank pully back to stock. Your throwing that motor out of balance. If u wanna run an aftermarket crank pully use a fluid damper or I think ati makes one. Titan sells them. MVP sells them. But I would change that crank pully before turboing it.

Thanks for the advice I will look into the pulley situation. As for the rust like I stated before the car came like that I know it seems like it needs to be done as fast as possible but it is extremely difficult to find a good one around here.

UPDATE: I have been having to jump start my car ever since I got it. I've already swapped out the battery and I know there is a short somewhere. Does anybody know the locations of where I could possibly start checking with my multimeter? I am either gonna do it now or until after the turbo install, regardless after the manifold gets here I won't be running it until I have all my turbo set up installed.

Got my manifold along with the heat wrap in it took longer than I thought but I'm ready to work on it this weekend. I'm going to start taking off the exhaust along with the sway bar and the air filter. The only thing that disappointed me was that I used up 25ft of wrap for only half the manifold. Ordered another 25ft today and it should be here by Saturday. I still have not had time to look into the short that it has but before I take stuff apart that will be at the top of the to do list this weekend. Next thing on the list is the turbo!

I finally got the rest of the heat wrap put on and I got the entire exhaust off along with the manifold. Turbo manifold is in place, up next is the turbo!

Welcome to CL, good start so far. While you're in there, you should look at re-routing that wiring harness (fender well area) cause once or if you end up going low, you won't have to worry about a chewed wiring harness. GL and keep us posted.

Take that heat wrap off. Especially if its an Ebay special. It will trap all the heat inside and crack all the cheap welds. You don't want that happening.

Thanks! I was thinking about that.

I think I'll leave it on, my friend is running a gte with about 400 whp and he's never had problems. I got the really similar manifold and wrap from racepartssolutions.com

You should top off that heat wrap with the silicone spray designed for wrapped manifolds, it creates a water-proof seal to keep out moisture, and further helps heat soak and cracks.
