Sleeper 2JZ Lexus SC430 - 40PSI on STOCK ENGINE!

On this episode we jump inside one of the most sleeper luxury/sport cars we've ever seen! Andrew's 2002 Lexus SC430 is wild, putting down roughly 750WHP at 40psi on a 100% factory 2JZ long block. Watch along to learn all about the build, enjoy!

[@Brock_Landers]

He was talking about catching people off guard with that car, I have a 588 whp EJ8 Civic coupe and people are constantly trying to race me, or pick on me. I have a LSD in the trans, Toyo R888Rs, and a K-Tuned traction bar, so it literally just grips and goes. Well, yesterday I was traveling a fair distance to a car meet here in Pittsburgh and some dude in a newer Coyote Mustang flew up on my ass and went to pass me and I dropped it down into 3rd and took off on him, had him by 4 or 5 car lengths when I shut it down at 120. It's a great feeling. Especially seeing as how I built the entire car with my own two hands. I had a friend help with the bodywork, and a local engine builder machined the block and assembled the bottom end for me, but other than that I built this car. It has alot of supporting mods to go with the power. I realize that it's not an iconic car like this SC430 with a sick 2JZ, but it's fast, it's mine, and I'm proud of it.

[@alienfrmearth]

"hey you know what would be great? instead of putting a turbo on this v8 and making 700-800hp... putting a 2jz in it to make the same power"

[@slammburger69]

Mr_Mims way more work to turbo an n/a engine than to swap in a factory engine

[@alienfrmearth]

It would have cost the same or less to turbo the 3uz then to put in the 2jz. If the power goals were a lot higher then I could understand it... but not at this power level

[@moekhan95]

A turbo wouldn't fit in the bay of the car. This is coming from an owner of one. You would be better off supercharging it instead. The reason being is because there is not enough space. the 2j is a way smaller than the stock 3uhz engine.

[@alienfrmearth]

So rear mount turbo isn't an option? I doubt that

[@moekhan95]

@@alienfrmearth It sure is but it would not be safe or conventional in any way possible. The car is already a low car and to add anything to the rear would just add more weight, more chances for leaks, hot side, and cold side, longer oil feeds, leading to complications.. you got a recipe for disaster after a few bumps and potholes. Lets not even talk the costs.
