Default Turbo

Here's to a first step into an NA-T project > I just need need to finish my engine swap project on my AE92 Corolla and get it on the roads before I start another car project.



Got it for a good price given its performance history and age. Supposedly it is an SP63 that was in an SC300 out of Sound Performance. I got it off of eBay (not everything on ebay is crap). Rebuilt and all, nice and clean.

Anyone have any information I would be interested in or perhaps need to know?

I'm going to email Sound Performance and see what they say.

This does sound like a fun project! And I would definitely contact SP and see what they say about that turbo. If it's anything like their past items, you should be good to go-their stuff is pretty solid! Any pics of the 92?

If you're interested.... This is the last good pic I took, back in 2010. Has been off the road since mid 2012. It's a true beater. But once I get the 4AGE 20v running, I'm planning on slamming it. I have 3 sets of wheels for it (for a car that doesnt run yet). The rust and age BS, I'm going to keep the car looking like that. Eventually I'll restore the exterior or make it look clean but the cost for body repairs are too great for me to put in a high priority. But I do have a jdm sprinter bumper and duckbill spoiler I want to install.


And I got my Lexi that the turbo will be going into.

I can't say i've ever seen someone weld an angle on an inlet, but for fitment I can understand why they would have done it!
