Default 1993 Sc300 Build

Ok i figured since ive made some positive movement ill make a thread, I picked my 1993 Sc up early this year as a rolling shell. It came with a 1jz prewired harness and ecu already installed, 2.5 in single Turbo back exhaust, and its lowered.

The original plan was to throw in another auto 1J, Single turbo it then 5spd swap, but with that being said I recently Just purchased a 8x,xxx mile '95 2Jge w/ matching W58 and it came with full harness and ecu, full 5spd swap (pedals, driveshaft, clutch master, slave, shifter trim, and etc.) or $1200

So the motor will be going in NA sometime next week and ran as-is for about a month or so until its deemed boost ready..

I have a couple questions as this is my 1st Sc

1. my Chassis is a 93 and the motor abd brackets are from a 95..so which year supra mounts can i use to drop the motor in with? and does i have to be the TT or GE mounts?

2. Will i have any harness issue going from the 93 1jz auto engine harness to a 95 GE 5spd harness?

As far as immediate buys i need:

1. Supra Radiator
2. Supra Mounts
3. Drift motion P/S High pressure hose

as far as the Turbo Project this is what im planning to go with: im aiming for roughly 450whp to start off

1. Ebay T4 Manifold
2. Ebay Wastegate w/ 10psi spring
3. Ebay 3in Downpipe
4. PT6265
5. Front mount I/C w/ 3in piping
6. Aem Fic
7. Aem Wideband
8. 525-600 cc Inj
9. ??? Clutch

Pics:
the day i picked it up

Since you're going through and degreasing, I would also look at replacing any seals, and inspecting the O2 sensors...they're easier to change while the motor is out. Nice shell, and you know what you even got the OEM LEXUS mats a good heat extract and your interior is good as NEW! SUSCRIBED! Keep us posted, thx for sharing!
