The turbo is a ball bearing t04e. I am not going to be pushing it until after I build the engine. Probably run about 10 max but drive on 7-8 everyday.

You know Inferno i still have my TO4S sitting here. My friend hasnt been by to pick it up and im about to sell it if he doesnt show up. Im loving my SP64 but the TO4S was a great turbo too.

Last i checked the 1984 Supra wegihed 2600-2800 depending on options etc.

95Mustanggt_ Its cool i respect everybody in here im just straight foreward with my points i dont intend to insult. I am just a person of all cars i like Domestics as mucha s imports, my first cars were both Muscle cars (Both Buicks) i just happen to have an affinity for 6cyl engines. Dont know why but they are my thing, and tho there are some, but not many< domestic 6cyl engines out there most of them are Imports. Plus i find imports a somewhat intruiging area. Its lets me test my skills in new ways.

I would love it if you gave me your t04s. That would be very interesting to say the least. As far as weight goes, I figure my car is most likely between 2700 and 2800lb, but I err on the high side and say 2800. I don't have the sunroof or the leather seats so that saves a bit of weight and I know the sunroof leather seat p-types were around 2890.

Default SC430

My son has a 2002 SC430. It's a really nice car. I rode in it just last Saturday. It runs low 15's from what Ive read. My wife has a ES300. While a Lexus is a nice Luxury car, fast, they aren't.

The SC430 is capable of 14's, but it is heavy as hell...damn convertable hardtops. The ES300 is a fancy camry...not close to being fast.

To start off. yes the 2002 SC430 is nice, that 300hp 4.3L V8 is not only powerful but reliable to a new level. And depends on the driver i have seen many run mid 14's. the ES300 isnt fast...its a Rebodies Camry. And for the mostpart you are correct, msot stock lexuses arent that fast stock but they are quick. But here is where i have to put down my foot. my car is based off the exact same platform the MK4 supra is based from. D/T, Suspension, Engine, overall Chassis, Brakes are all the same. I have a 2jzgte swapped into mine, that mated with the W58 5spd takes it from a 15 flat car to a mid 13 car (4.088 rear end helps) plus considering the car weighs 3400lbs (depending on options more or less). I picked up the motor from a wrecked 1994 Supra TT complete minus the exhaust manifold and turbos, built/rebuilt it. Eagle lightweight H-beam rods and JE forged pistons 8.7:1 static compression with more ceramic coatings than you can shake a stick at. and i also got a lot of headwork done for free because the machine shop "lost" my motor for a month.... I was running a TO4SO4 .81 a/r exhaust and .55 a/r intake. but switched to an SP64 True Ball Bearing.recently. These turbos are not very large because of the main fact that i do road course race more than drag. i ahve as much invested in brakes and suspension. if not more. and although it soudns like i spent a lot i have a few friends including some guys at HP Motorsport.

Default SC300 is turbo'ed?

So your SC300 is turbo'ed? What does it run at the track? Again, no flames here, I would just like to know how fast it really is.

Thats cool none taken. Just consider the following.

1 My suspension is setup to run roadcourse, its very stiff making it interesting to gain traction.

2 I run on my Road tires no slicks which doesnt help. 255/40-18 front and 275/40-18 rear Potenza SO-3's on Centerline Matrix 18X8 17lbs front and 18x9.5 rear 18lbs.

3. Im not the worlds best but not bad drag racer.

This run was before i changed over to the SP64, i was running close to 19psi (round up) which gives me 536rwhp and 517lb-ft. on pump gas. I know i can run more boost but i prefer to play it safe.

Track temp was at about 78 degrees and it was in the low to mid 80's.

i have run a best of 11.736@121.49mph with a 660 of 8.194@92mph with a 2.10760ft. on a .635 reation time on sportsman tree (Yea i know i was asleep) Im sure if i were to run slicks and loosen up the suspension i could hit low 11's easily but as i mentioned before im not a big drag racer.

Default Impressed

Well, I for one am impressed. I've never heard of a Lexus running 11's. 11.7xx / 121.xx in the 1/4 for a street driven car is fast in my book. I have a road racing suspension in my car also because I like to tool around the freeway clover leafs, etc. 536 hp / 517 lb/ft should make even a relatively heavy Lexus move. Sounds like a fun car.

Oh it is fun too, remeber wheel power not flywheel its the only way i talk when it comes to HP. If you havent heard of it you have never heard of Clint, or Chirs Pholer.
both of them have low 10 sec SC300's, Clints is as www.powerhouseracing.com. I know they seem rare but there are a lot of 2jzgte swaps in SC300's just not very talked about and it is overall relatively rare.

I think the problem with MK4 TT supras isnt the cars its the drivers. Most of the time i see them and theya re pushing 600+ whp and they run 12's.... These are the guys that bought the car to impress all of the honda kiddies and just be a dyno queen. what a waste of a damn good car imho.

That's cool. It just seems like there are a lot of "why do you like V8's" or "Why do you like Mustang's?" questions here lately and it is getting kind of old. I read some of your other posts and you sound like a good guy. Enjoy Mustangworks.

Damn thats a badass car you have there. i had no idea the SC300's were based off the Supra chassis.

And Supras only run 12's no matter how muchpower they have

I for one do wish we could have more Import and Domestic people getting along. I know this is a predominant mustang board, but it always good to have a few people from "the dark side" to share information and give everyone more knowledge IMO.

But the flaming of why do you drive a domestic should not be welcome here (Not intended for Inferno or Lexus, just in general0

Later,
Nick

Know thy enemy....


Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer...

Gentlemen,

Take it to the track! A nice 'ol lady like myself, with a young son strapped in my '98 V-6, DOES NOT want to come up on you two pulling 120+ on the street, in a contest that conclusivly be determined, where it should be, AT THE TRACK.

You are not going to decide it by bad talking each other or bringing down the integrity of this Board. Put your cars and talents where they should be or give it up and call it even.

Movin' on....-Jane of all Trades-
