This is my very first visit to the FI section....really...after 4 or 5 years of clublexus surfing, my first visit to this section. I wanna know who has the fastest car. Is the car reliable? Can a car be boosted and still be factory reliable? How much does it cost to achieve that level of reliability. No over heating. No blown engines. Who has achieved this? I want to learn. I know how to make a car look good. I wanna know how to make it fast but reliable for daily city driving.

Keep the SC body and drop in a Chevy 350 ZZ4 motor with a demon carburetor, hook it up to a TH400 trans and your good for life....Cheap, Fast, Reliable!!!

J/k man!!!

I think the fastest daily driver would be Streetking's SC? At least from what I've read

You might be kidding but my father n law says he knows a guy who put a chevy engine in an sc. It's fast and reliable. That's a thought.

its a thought but personally i like to drive my car when its cold and hot.... good luck with a demon carb setup. i mean hell if your going chevy powered might as well get a fuel injection kit too

I know countless cars with aftermarket high-horsepower setups that are pretty damn reliable. The 2JZ is well-built and lasts a long time under boost. Mine has almost 150k and I wring the **** out of it daily on a T66 (stock compression) and almost 300 miles a week. It's been a year and the only thing I have changed is the oil.

I personally know of several others like this. It all comes down to the setup. If you build it reliable, it will be reliable. If you cut corners and build a crapbox, that's exactly what you'll get.

all i can say is tuning is more than most of it you can make huge amounts of power and be very reliable if you have a hell of a tune.... run aem ems and get a good tuner and i would deffinatly say chris has the fastest sc but for how long is the question.......

There is alot of SC300 that can really bolt, not so many SC400's.. The strongest SC400 that I have seen is " member RDM20FAN on the Lextreme forums"... This 1993 SC400 is a daily driver and is putting out 510/487 at 18PSI...

Tranny - Has a built up stock tranny, rabestos blue friction discs,Kollen steels, Increased line pressure, and shimmed actuator springs..

Engine - ROSS 8.5.1 pistons, 2 CT-26 Toyota turbo's, 8 additional injectors, injector controller

Drivetrain - Torque converter, LSD


This is one of the few turbo'd SC400 that I am aware of, and this SC400 is faster then mine.....

Jibby what 1/4 mile time have you got at the track?

TurboTeg - I don't have a track time, just raced alot of street sports cars, no track times, no recent dyno's..How many times are you going to ask me the same question? My guess is my sc is about as fast yours from reading your specs and the 150 nitros shot you are running... Do you have your drivetrain setup for that power output? Increased tranny line pressure, Torque Converter with a good stall rate, LSD, coilovers? If not then I may take you but not by much...but I really don't know to be honest...

I am currently trying to complete a few more mod's on my SC400 then I will fine tune my piggy back ECU and then give the dyno or track a go... Could be a few months...What are your track times? My guess is your SC will do around 0-60mph in 5 seconds and the quarter in about 13 seconds or slightly higher ...Is that guess close?".

I was just curious if you had a time yet.

I haven't been to the track yet as I just finished with tuning and bodywork is still underway.
I will be sure to post up the time slip when I do !

I have coilovers. I do not have any drivetrain upgrades for 300whp.

The fastest SC300 I know of is Chris's "QUIKTURBO" 9 second beast. I dont know if he uses it as a daily driver though.
