'99 SC400 DWP w/ 2JZGTE Single Turbo - Make Reasonable Offer
Long story short I have to move on from this particular SC after a brief stint of ownership. Many variables involved, mainly the fact that I will be commuting weekly a VERY long distance for a new opportunity. I purchased this car from a forum member and it has been perfect. The A/C blows cold and the power features work great. After purchasing, I replaced the uego's wideband sensor, changed all fluids, did 2 transmission drain & fills, got an alignment, and paid have the car inspected top-to-bottom by SP. The car is tuned to produce 470WHP at 14psi
This is one of the cleanest swaps I have seen on any vehicle - it is truly gorgeous. I estimate the cost to reproduce this build at roughly $25,000, and everything is in excellent condition. The swap wiring is done right with a custom Mr. Tweak harness, and every precaution has been taken as far as safety and daily drivability is concerned. I would drive this car anywhere in the country and back, then back again. It truly has daily driver reliability.
I am asking $13,900 OBO including all of the extras listed below, and can pick anyone up from one of the Chicago airports if you travel for the vehicle. I can take any pics you desire, and can also Facetime or Skype around the car when it is running, etc. If you are a serious buyer, feel free to text me to initiate a conversation. My number is: Three One Four - 435 - Nine Nine Eight Zero
Other Incentives:
Free one-way plane ticket fare to the Chicago area for a serious buyer (reimbursed during sale)
Clutch pedal, brake pedal, master and slave cylinder from a 5spd SC300 (you will be half-way there in case you ever decide to go the manual trans route)

Sure thing. From what I understand, the car was tuned by "ChevyEater" who is fairly well known for his work. It was tuned to be a very safe, regularly driven car, and runs skewed rich.
The car was tuned for 14psi (wastegate spring), and I am told dynoed at 470WHP (I have not dynoed it myself, but it certainly feels about right). The previous owner added a manual boost controller so that he could tone things down a bit if he so chose. That said the MBC is currently set to run ~11psi, which the butt dyno tells me is roughly 400WHP. I was actually going to just remove the MBC but have not gotten around to it, and will leave it on for the future owner to take the path of his/her choice.
How does this power equate to real world driving? I had a little fun with a newer Mustang Cobra on the interstate and had no problem pulling on him at the current 10-11 psi.
All in all the car pulls very nicely, shifts crisp yet smooth, and is very easy to drive on a daily basis if you so choose. I personally have not daily driven this car, and it has always been garaged and driven on weekends.

No doubt this car was built right. Thanks for the props.

Great looking car! I have a few questions since I remember when this vehicle was listed by the previous owner.
1. Was the a/c compressor issue fixed? I think he said it was a pressure switch that would fix the issue ( not coming on after a hot start during the summer...then kicking in after a while).
2. Burnt out climate control...how much of the display can you still see?
3. Can I get a pic of the Acura seats?
4. Can I get the VIN (you can PM it to me if you don't want to display it on here)? I would like to see if the recovered theft shows up on the autocheck and carfax.
Thank you,
Jason

1) The A/C Compressor switch was swapped out. I have been using A/C all summer in IL and it works fantastic.
2) The climate control LCD is not burnt out, just one of the bulbs behind it. Only about 1/4 of it on the left hand side is dim. I just haven't had time to swap the bulb to be honest - its not bad.
3) I cant add more than 5 pics to this thread - forum restriction. PM me your email and Ill send you any pictures you'd like
4) Sure I will PM you the VIN. The title is a clear IL title, I am not sure if the old theft shows up on the report or not. In all honesty it doesn't really matter IMHO.

Jason thanks for reaching out, and thanks for the compliments. The car looks as good as it did the day I picked it up.

3) Yes I will add another pic to this thread shortly - let me know if you're looking for something else
