TURBO 93 Lexus SC300 NA-T (10 second 1/4 miles)
Guys,
As usual, I spend months building a car just the way I want it, and then it sits in the garage because I am too scared to drive it. This car has taken 9 months and ridiculous amounts of money to get it in the shape it is in.
It is a 93 Lexus SC300 with approx 110k on the chassis, 40k on the shortblock, and about 5k on the TH400.
Timing belt/water pump/seals all have less than 15 miles on them. New transmission fluid, new brake fluid, new oil. New 97+ kit, wheels etc all have < 15 miles on them.
I also replaced the engine wiring harness because it had been hacked up. Every electrical connection on here has been soldered, shrink wrapped and then taped.
Due to the loose TC, I don't have accurate dyno numbers on race gas. On 91 w/ meth it did 454rwhp (bear in mind that is through a TH400.) The car ran an 11.1 prior to me fixing everything, so I think it would be fair to assume this car will run mid 10's.
Here is a list of the mods, although I am sure I am forgetting a lot of them
3mm head gasket
BL Stage 2 turbo kit 67mm turbo.
HKS Boost Controller
AEM EMS (GM IAT, AEM 3.5 Bar MAP sensor) just refreshed by AEM
HKS DLI
AEM Uego Wideband (<15 miles on it.)
HKS BOV
HKS Gate
BLTH400 transmission, Transbrake, custom spec converter
Custom Driveshaft
Supra TT Auto Limited Slip Differential
Dakota Digital (<15 miles on it.)
Twin Walbros
880cc injectors (just flow tested and cleaned)
Steel braided fuel lines, anodized fittings
Aeromotive FPR with Gauge
BL FMIC kit
Tutone black/tan interior
1997+ full body upgrade (<15 miles on it.)
5% tint
HID’s – Headlights and Foglights
19x8.5/19x9.5 wheels with 10mm Project Kics Spacers (<15 miles on it.)
Snow Performance Dual Nozzle Methanol Injection
Tein Coilovers
Defi Boost and EGT Gauges in Custom Gauge Pod (<15 miles on it.)
Crower 264/272 Cams (<15 miles on it.)
Crower Titanium Springs/Retainers (<15 miles on it.)
LS400 calipers/rotors
Greddy Tubo Timer(<15 miles on it.)
Custom Clear Sidemarkers (<15 miles on it.)
I flew Justin Nenni up here to tune the car (about 2 months ago) and the car has been driven twice since then.
Problems:
Gas Gauge works intermittently with < 1/4 tank. I believe this is due to the float being moved for the 2nd fuel line.
AC mod needs done on the AEM for it to work. I can fix this when I find the time.
Gauge lights turn off when headlights turn on (working on fixing this.)

Paint is good for the age of the car. Certainly not perfect but as you can see from the pictures it cleans up pretty nice. The hood has a few rock chips that could maybe be painted, but the rest is pretty good overall. If this conversation gets serious enough I will break out my new D300 and snap some up close shots.
Everyone else: Thank you for your kind comments.
