My sc300 is swapped and i think it is great. The initial power from the stock twin turbos is a HUGE difference in comparison to the 2JZGE.

If you use just a the 1JZ engine, you will have a lot of difficulty getting it to work, this goes with any engine not made for the SC300. If you get a soarer front clip, it will be very easy to get the thing working.

Default update

When I got my JZA70 clip for my engine swap into my 91 supra it seemed like a easy install..
So far my supra runs like dream compared to a 7MGTE..
So I figured I should go the same route in buying a Soarer clip??
So the next Q/A is where can I get a Soarer clip in SOCAL area LA, SD ???
send me your links??
Thanks
