SC300 1jz+r154 swap
Hi all the Lexus guys. Im starting my own Lexus sc300 build. Im gonna post some pictures and other stuff to here about the build/swap..
Im from Finland and my english is what it is but maybe im learning that too here
There is mine white SC300 from US and green soarer from Japan. Im gonna take soarers 1jz engine and put it to the sc300. Maybe some other mods. I have R154 tranny from jzx100 chaser. Progress will be made like some small things per weekend... I try to post as much as i can and take pictures as much as possible
I have a small garage and i have project going there also to make it as good as it can be to building cars... So this swap begins maybe next winter!

Thanks gerrb, thats what im looking for.
Lettut, found it from baltics. Its orginally from new mexico and had some damage to the right side from front to back... Boys there fixed it badly and now i gonna build it to as good as i can. Looks outside good but it isnt from inside/bottom But project cars cant be too good from start... It maded 800km travel to finland so its good enough to build !
And thanks also. I have looked your project's and they are amazing!! U build them to look like they just arrived from the factory ! Nice!

Cooler and manifold arrived from Germany, so happy! Manifold need some modifications tho..
I was wondering about percision 6776RS turbo because we have that here used and good price but its maybe too big or is it? It says its good for 700hp that turbo and im aiming 400-500

Thanks! Yea u are right! I called our biggest aftermarket dealer and he suggest to me instead of ms3 pro his own made copy of ms3 pro with some better mods and connectors.. Called Freedrive and it uses same applications than megasquirts. Tunerstudio.
its going single and r154 manual aiming 400-500 with pump gas.

I couldnt find anything info about pt6776rs with 1jz but found some with 2jz.. Do you think I could run with that turbo on low boost 400-500? 67 compressor and 76 turbo wheel, found some review that it needs over 20 psi to get good air flow with that turbo.. So it will go over 500 hp i guess too easily, and while i have everything stock i wanted to be between 400-500 😄
Does anyone has pt6776rs on his car and any real experiment about how it works?

Found soarer diff with some lsd inside (maybe cusco rs 2way, not sure)
Bought gt35 garret from Germany, it has low ar(ar 0 68) so maybe can get good power from low rpm s
Cleaning parts
Cleaned diff
zinc paint
Trying to make old parts to look close to new. Cheaper than buying new once..
Dirty valve covers

Using genuine toyota motormass
Steering shaft assy dirty.. Had problem with knuckle shaft joint. It had big cap what was noticed at steering wheel from left to right and right to left turning there was cap. Now finding universal joint to replace the old one..

Aluminium cleaning
Trying to clean it littlebit.
Cleaning tensioner
Bought new wheel to it because old one had bad bearing.
At the moment im just cleaning all the old parts, restoring stuff... Next step cleaning lexus body from under and engine room.
