Thanks for all the good info. I’m finally starting on a 92 sc300 that belonged to my late son. He passed shortly after his 18th birthday in 2020. I want to build this in his honor and keep it forever.

I did this with a $200 junkyard n/a 2J. I put new rings and bearings in it. Honed the block, 3 angle valve job and new calve seals. $70 bucks GTE gasket kit with new oil pump and and engine seals. Turbo exhaust manifold, cx racing front facing manifold. $250. Ebay downpipe pipe.$60 Lexus LS400 throttle body. Junkyrd $30. Made a 1/2 aluminum plate to mount the throttle body to the intake. $10 bucks eBay. I used the stock injector block. And 450cc Mazda rx7 injectors. $30 junkyard. Friend flow tested them for me. All were good and even. Used AEM Wastegate for $130 bucks. Mitsubishi turbo stock blow off valve. $10 junkyard. $200 eBay turbo, before buying a borg warner s366 model. So i would know if i liked how it built boost. No need to pay big money on a turbo if you don't like what rpm it builds boost. Junkyard $150 W58 trans. Ebay clutch n flywheel kit. $400 Ebay intercooler piping kit. $100 93 Turbo Supra intercooler. $30 junkyard. Used Megasquirt 2 stand alone. Cost $450 bucks at the time. I had that for 10 years. Bought a trigger wheel and mounted it to the harmonic balancer. $100 bucks. Got a simple crank sensor and made a bracket to mount that up. 6cyl dodge caravan coil pack. $25. Late 80's early 90's, 6cyl Ford ranger ignitor. $25. I dont think i spent more than 2k. That's not including the Megasquirt2 i already had. Now this was 6-7 years ago also. Car stull runs good. I dont do any hard pulls until 3rd and 4th gears. Highway pulls for sure. 15psi on the wastegate. The 74 260z is in storage now. I will break it out this spring so my daughter and i can cruise in it. 👍🏾

back 20 years ago when I first got my MKIV Supra I did an NA-T conversion with a similar design as yours and kept burning the intake coupler for the TB and was annoying because it was sitting right above the hot side of the turbo. it came with auxiliary injectors and was very temperamental. I 'm sure there are more options now than back then but I hated the distributor and the wires and eventually blew up my motor. I ended up getting forged TT pistons and rods and got a TT head in 2008 and am much happier with the setup.

I've spoke to numerous people and seen builds by reputable shops even using the W58 at over 500 and some over 600whp! They are still intact and doing great. One guy I spoke to made 450whp for 30k HARD miles before his W58 finally let go. So sometimes it's the luck of the draw with how it was treated before your ownership. But with that info I'll be doing a small maintenance refresh on my NA-T SC300, switching to E85 and maxing out my turbo on my kill setting (or close to it). It's just a T60 Garrett Hi-fi turbo. Should put me around 500whp. A major role in longevity on the W58 is how the torque ramp is tuned in, tire grip, and how you drive it. I won't be doing digs or first gear pulls, and limiting 2nd gear pulls as well just to be safe. I have seen people blow them up making 3-400whp ofcourse, but I've seen the same with R154's. Seeing the many other people I've talked to make 500+ with no issues makes me confident with pushing it past what I currently make (416whp/448wtq on pump 93 with 7k miles since I had it tuned)!!! Great video!

The car drove fine for a few hours but after letting it sit after turning it off and trying to start it back on it immediately turns off even if I give it gas. After a few tries of turning it back on after it keeps dying it manages to stay on. Any idea what this could be? Alternator was replaced already. It does not stall once it turns on and running nor does it hiccup or surge. Could it be that fuel pump isn’t receiving the 12volts ?

I'm currently making 416whp/448wtq on pump 93 and 16-17psi with a dizzy on my NA-T. Plan to do a little maintenance/upgrades, install flex fuel sensor, and max out my small Garrett T60 on E85 and the dizzy in the next couple weeks. Should put me around 500whp on E85 kill mode. As he mentioned Evan's video is a good visualization of what to expect. With E85 around 500whp seems to be the safe limit on a dizzy combined with a solid ECU. Btw Evan also has a W58 and is making over 500whp with it still intact.

@Timothy9x 11 ай бұрын

I have a 93 SC300 Factory Manual and I've been following your channel since I got it the beginning of the year. So far, my worst mistake may be me buying a Supra TT Automatic Torsen differential. The diff needs a full refresh (take all the rust off, paint it, and reseal it). I don't plan to do a NA-T until I learn how to drive the stick shift and that Torsen diff can't handle too much power either. In your case, if you decide to push the tune and increase the PSI, besides the W58, wouldn't the differential need to be upgraded? Maybe to a 1.5 way LSD for street use?

@Edward3jr 11 ай бұрын

This is a great question, one of the very mods I did to this sc300 was install the kaaz lsd. In my case the w58 is the only thing holding me back, and again, it’s mostly on me just playing it safe. I would like to turn up the boost and make videos showing how strong or how weak the w58 trans is. But I’ll probably save that for when I have a back up trans on stand by ready to go. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nq-SoM-KnZzedIk.html
