Toyota Soarer

DriftingNewbie · 02-03-2005, 11:14 AM

SCs never came with V6s, all I6 and V8's. And yes, its not a bad idea to slap a turbo and head gasket on the stock SC300s and have ur self a turbo one, but the components inside the motor arn't built to handel as much power as a stock 2jzgte. Yea, I believe the JDM Sc300 turbo/twinturbo (think they came in both) did come with a 1jz. (side note, thats what uneo is running.)

DriftGirl · 02-07-2005, 10:08 PM

build up the V8 and beat up on boosted cars stoplight-to-stoplight

In stock form... 91-96 models (zenki(91-94 before minor change) and chuki (95-96 middle of minor change)) 2.5L turbo Soarers are twin turbos. (twin CT12A turbines, that will blow real easy once the boost is turned up past 1.0kg for prolonged periods of time due to wonderful ceramic blade turbines

...spools fast though) I believe from 97 to the end of jzz30 body .. I think 2000 or 2001 (kouki (97+ after minor change)) they changed over to VVTi and single turbine (CT26 if I remember correctly) These engines correspond to the same Chaser/Cresta/MarkII of 90 and 100 series engines as well. 90= twin trubo 100=VVTi with single turbo.

If your lucky enough to find one... JZX90 cpu is same cpu as JZZ30 so if you find a front clip with cpu and harness from JZX90 it will work as it is the same cpu/harness to engine. likewise jzx90 power fc or fcon will work for soarer as well. just some things to ponder anyways good luck.

DriftingNewbie · 02-17-2005, 07:49 PM

ok, what does zenki and chuki mean?

Leroy0053 · 02-17-2005, 08:18 PM

not to jack the thread but im in the middle of dropping in the vvti motor in my 92....Then i will blow driftgirls doors off

. but i ran into a snag.....the damn driveline from the SC300 (2jz NA 5sp) is smaller....you got any info regard the yolk i can use? aside from that the wiring needs about 3more feet. other than that ... im cruising along with the swap...this is all at about 8 hours worth of work.

to keep with thread. i have some new seats to lighten the load. and will be gutting the interior. when i yanked the engine i was able to push the clip around fairly easy....but can easily tell that alot of the weight are those motors.

DriftGirl · 02-25-2005, 10:21 PM

Custom driveline...will cut down on rotating mass (vs stock) as well. Should be around 700.00 or so

Oh yeah....Bring it, its lonley at the top

VuDuDoc · 02-26-2005, 11:46 AM

All is well....im working on mine last night...basically noting all the differences and basically got all the quirks worked out. gonna be a good write and hopefully i get another project car....

. ill pass on the driveline as for a grand id be more inclined for lsd upgrade or turbo mods.

np.... ill be happy to take over tops.

DriftGirl · 02-26-2005, 01:15 PM

It's a performance upgrade and saves hella weight (carbon shaft) ..... LSD will more than make up for it tho

Gonna be ready for the NWN meet?

** Oh, Can't beat me with my own style....But the company is welcome

GranMastrDrift · 02-26-2005, 09:14 PM

I would hate be at the top of the totem pole, thats were all the birds land and crap on you LOL

DriftGirl · 02-27-2005, 04:29 AM

Cool!! I hope it gets done by then...its really close, so work hard!! You can always take the shaft to a driveline shop (kind that specialize in custom 4x4 trucks) to get your stock one sorted out, They do that type of stuff all the time.

I dont think people realize how rare the swap that youre doing is

...

balutsc300 · 03-06-2005, 05:53 PM

wow didnt know alot of people wanted a 5spd sc300 lucky i got mine 2 years ago haha although i wouldnt practice drifting on it till i got some experience

i dont know dude, i couldn't really admire a girl with balls, but thats just me ya know.

DriftingNewbie · 03-07-2005, 09:36 AM

Yeah...looking a little to hard into that one.

But hey, dg, can you post some action pics of ur soarer?

DomLee · 03-07-2005, 11:33 AM

I would love to take my SC300 to a drifting event.

Need to figure out a way to handle the "weak" transmission before I can do this. I heard about swapping the Getrag 6-speed...but if I'm doing that. Then, I may as well do a 2JZ-GTE swap as well.

ferny · 03-07-2005, 01:26 PM

yeah if youre thinking about making ur sc300/400 a manual tranny might as well do a 1jzgte or a 2jzgte swap those things are sexy. jay from driftspeed has a clean sc with a 1jzgte its sexy

DomLee · 03-07-2005, 02:00 PM

Actually...my SC300 is a manual. I was told that the transmission (W58) will not take that much abuse (from the guys at RPS Clutch). So I'm trying to figure out what my options are. Getrag 6-speed would screw up my speedometer and if I'm doing this...I'm going w/ 2JZ. However,...it is also really expensive.

Hmm...not sure what to do at this moment.

nope i dont think they do...

.. well here it is in all its splendor. One of the firsts

. I am really happy with the overall turn out...now come more tuning items and kit and its on...plus need to clean the motor.

GranMastrDrift · 03-25-2005, 11:36 PM

so fast sooooo fast hehe thanks for the ride lou lol i have something and someone to look up to now that tim is gone lol

the tranny is a weak point but the getrag is waaay overkill unless you're planning on a 500hp+ car...

The JDM 5spd is what you want but they're hard to find...

BTW, a sub 3000lb SC/Soarer is possible with some gutting, carbon fiber parts, and a titanium exhaust. I don't think Driftgirl is right about the doors though...they're suuuper heavy. The Vertex ones cost about $8000 but they're drycarbon which isn't practical or affordable for most people. A company called SWAT makes FR and wet carbon doors that are much cheaper and should help enough. Lexan door windows would help alot also. GTP products suck and it would be interesting to actually see how much weight their CF trunk saves...I doubt it's much. I reccomend the Varis CF hood ( www.varisusa.com) as it's great quality and very lightweight.

DomLee · 09-25-2005, 11:46 AM

JDM 5-speed huh? It is going to be extremely hard to find.

Not many 5-speed Soarers in Japan either, so that makes it difficult already. But I don't have any info on the JDM 5-speed.

Do any of you guys have any info on the tranny? Want to know more about it now as I've NEVER heard of it being used in a US car.

so stock looking....yet under the hood, sooooo sexay! I plan on doing the same swap with a few bolt-ons....with that, weight reduction, and good suspension, the sc can be a hell of a car
