I can't decide on which I'm going to do to my Toyota Soarer. (Lexus SC400 V8 <1UZ-FE> with swapped Toyota Supra parts) for those of u that have never heard of the legendary Toyota Soarer. Only way to get one is if u build from an Lexus SC and swap Toyota supra parts to you Lexus that has a Toyota engine.... Same damn company. Swapping stock parts for stock parts to make a technically whole new stock car.... Nothing is technically aftermarket if it same company and bolts right on haha.
Well what u think I should do? It's a 4.0 V8 with 10:1 compression ratio stock before you even touch it with supra godliness it has 290 horse and 280 ft lbs torque. Did I mention is RWD? After u make it a soarer its 595 horse and up. Depending on what u do... Haha opinions?

If on playstation, its up, up, right trigger, down, left, right.
If on Nintendo, hold controller tap A twice then shake for 3 seconds.
If on XBox, B,B,X,B Start Down, Down.
If on PC, go to ini file and just find the line that say TOYO321.PT=
Change that value to whatever power level you want.

It seems a lot of people with stock twins go single (in the Supra world). What are your power goals? You're offering three different options which will result in three differing driving characteristics. What are your plans for the car?

Well I only said twin because the twin turbo supra from hell sounds killer! Watch the tunnel video omg. I think I'm gonna supercharge it it's easiest not the cheapest but I'll get the most airflow just won't have a blow off like a turbo but it will be a constant noise instead of only at certain Rpms like a turbo. I already know what I'm gonna do just was seeing what other people would do in my position

No. Turbocharger > supercharger for making big power in a 2JZ.

There's a reason why all the 1000hp Supras have single-turbo conversions and not superchargers.

You might want to expand your knowledge of various forced induction systems before you commit. Sounds like you have a lot to learn. :)

Back on topic, most of us are from the U.S. so our Soarer knowledge is slim.

And I agree with 996GT2 - Turbo > Supercharger in general. The "constant noise" is usually the SC whining...and if you're just after exhaust noise then put money there as well. I'm sure a TT installation is tricky because you usually want a smaller turbo for lower RPMs and a bigger one for up top, so I vote to spend your money on a single turbo charger and likely an engine rebuild shortly thereafter.

I would scrap the V8 and put a 2JZ in there and put a single massive turbo on. Leave the V8's to Americans. Japan makes the best 4 and 6 cylinder engines.

The Japanese make some rock solid V8's, though.

You remember the spoiler on the Suzuki rally car on the old grand truismo 3? Yeah that big fucker haha I'm gonna supercharge cause I'm not ricer I'm a muscle and power man turbos are tuners and I'm going to keep my 10:1 compression ratio V8 1uz-FE and put a 5 speed manual in with muffukkin hooker headers, going straight pipe, no cat, X piped, God I love Oregon and their no emission laws. I picked my sc400 for 1600 cause its title was surrendered to the state of Washington and it was at an auction. Did a tad bit of research learned it was a diamond in the dirt bought it and now is the time I get to blow my cash on it slowly but surely she's coming together. She will be bagged with slight stance tucked a lil bit. Black tint, black gloss paint with red metal flakes. Did I mention I was gonna put supra tail lights and halo head lights blue fogs and marker lights. And if I can muster up enough money slight body kit, defiantly getting side skirts front skirt bumper only slightly skirted rear. And I'm gonna get carbon fiber hood with a cut out for my supra supercharger. Yea ever seen the Supra from hell? The green one with 5 foot flame out the exhaust that hit camera guy. Yeah mine will be in the muscle class and not tuner V8 or go home in my book. I beat a goddam 02 corvette today and he was piiiiiiissssed lol. Haven't lost a single race yet. Bmws omg I laugh when they think they have a chance. I wanna race an Audi but no one has around here well I know a guy but he sold it :/ I'm waiting for a car to actually give me a run for my money. Or beat me haha jk. No one supes cars around my town but me and my car club. Mustangs and Cobras ain't got shit. And I'm rocking a 4.0v8 and they got 5.7? Well my buddies cobra is the Mustangs I spit on. Fuck ford buy Chevy or Toyota if u want quality and to last.

Normally I'm pretty laid back, but we don't need endorsements of casual drug use and excessive vulgarity here. The removed portion was so obviously bad that I'm skipping the warning and going straight to an infraction.
