Details on my BL SC300 NA-T pkg
If anyone is interested in doing a SC NA-T kit, this is what I have..
SW
The BL 650 Package for your 92-97 SC300. This NA-T setup will make 650 hp at the crank on race gas. The BL 650 package is specced with a T61 turbo which provides instant boost response on the street and will still make enough power to take down most cars you will run into. This package is very popular for customers who would like to daily drive their cars.
This turn-key setup on an automatic SC300 is less than 16,000 installed, tuned and ready to tear up the streets. The 650 package includes everything from the Turbo kit to the engine management.
A 5spd Lexus SC300 build will be almost $2,000 cheaper.
Boost Logic Stage 2 NA-T kit
Upgrade to 525cc injectors
Blitz Spec R Boost Controller
AEM ECU with 3.5 bar map, iat, iat harness, and Wideband
HKS SSQ Bov
Aluminum HKS SSQ Bov Flange
Tuning Concepts AEM ECU Tune for Street and Dyno
Boost Logic NA-T Transmission Build
Boost Logic Upgraded Torque Converter
Boost Logic SC300 Dual Exhaust System

I will say this, however, tuning WOT is easy. However, setting up idle with big cams/TB/injectors, getting cold/warm starts consistent, programming anti-lag, meth injection, launch control, nitrous, boost control, fuel accel/decell, etc. is the hard part. So, I don't want anyone to think I'm trivializing what it takes to completely tune a car. However, I wouldn't pay someone else $7k to do it.

You could proably have all those parts personaly machined for 6 grand less then that, but i guess some people will pay to not get their hands dirty, and to place liablity upon a company that wont be around in 5 years.

What we have here is the lack of understanding what it takes to build a quality car. As it says "Turn Key". Please don't insult without proper education. You list 2 items, unfortunately, it take more than the two items. This proves your experience. If people are on a build-up project, "650 turn key" may not be an option. We help people with many differnet types of goals and budgets.

You stated that 14K for a tranny build and t61 turbo was a rip off, it would be if that was all I got. They pulled the motor, changed the headgasket, cleaned the head, installed the fuel system, pulled the front bumper and installed the intercooler, installed a tranny cooler, detailed every part that was dissasembled, installed the AEM, Boost controler, A/F guage in the glove box r&r the transmission& torque convertor and made sure it looks and performs like it should. All the connections were shrink wrapped and all unused wires and lines removed. But I guess I should have shopped around on the internet to save some$$..

Memphis, in the kindest possible way, please be quiet and don't insult people who have forgotten more about the 2JZ-GE/GTE, the Supra and the SC than you'll ever know.
Boost logic has built at least one 7 second MKIV, and many 1000+ HP cars.
It's not a rip-off to go out and get a equal-length tubular header NA-T kit made out of SS341 by Zohair & company, then pay to have it professionally installed by Chris Johnson. Quite frankly, if you want it done right, BL, PM, SP & SPE are some of the best shops in the world to do it. (If you have to look up, or even think about those initials, consider yourself ignorant)
Normally my job as a moderator is to do that -- moderate a discussion. But you are 100% wrong here. BL is very busy, especially during the summer months, when everyone wants their parts installed and their cars running yesterday. So if they respond with an expensive quote, or don't respond at all, don't be surprised. They're in demand, and can choose not to respond, or can charge a rate which people are glad to pay (which they are, believe it or not)
You can have : 1) Fast 2) Cheap 3) Reliable
...pick two.
BL's customer service is awesome... don't believe me? Look on SF where most of their customers post.
I'm potentially knocking out some of this malarkey... but for now I'll just rip apart the BS so everyone can know the facts.
Boost Logic makes quality stuff, and they charge a corresponding dollar figure for it.
k. thx. bye.

There is very little that can be done to the transmission to make it hold mroe power. For manual transmission cars we suggest upgrading to a 6spd or R154 transmission.
