This TWINCHARGED 1JZ Toyota Soarer Just Ruined All V8s | Quit Whining.

This one's wild. Today i'm driving a TWINCHARGED 1JZ Toyota Soarer, built by Kyle and Carmena Performance. Under the hood is a roots supercharger pulled straight from an E55 AMG, feeding boost alongside a billet Borg Warner S366 turbo. It's one of the most incredible builds we've seen in a long time and it still hurts my brain just thinking about all of these parts working together somehow quite seamlessly. Enjoy!

Soarers in general are CRIMINALLY underrated.

That’s good because it means cheaper buying price

Theres nothin unique or different about a Soarer with a 1JZ. Lmfao. It's literally the engine that comes in the car from factory. An ls swap or subi swap would he waaaaay more unique. This had been done 100 times.

[@nicoleibundgut534]

@@SEPHICHI420 Thats correct. It is no engine swap but it doesnt come with turbo AND supercharger. That is unique actually.

I have always wanted to build a Soarer with a fully forged and built 1UZ-FE with a clutch driven supercharger with twin turbos. The JZ platforms aren't bad in ANY way, but I just LOVE the sound of the 1UZ.

[@RoadsUntraveled]

[@pokerpariah]

I remember riding in Clint Pohler's 2JZ single turbo Lexus SC300 back in 1999 or 2000. Amazing build and freaking fast. Car guys who were not within our Supra owning group of friends were completely shocked with their mouths on the ground, especially after their Lingenfelter Corvettes gets destroyed via highway rolls with their ears filled with the open wastegate scream.

[@reidos6420]

Damn! The sound as that supercharger winds down while the turbo spools up is so cool. Weird to hear a spool down sound on acceleration!

[@SicSemperBeats]

Its complicated but you break it down it all makes sense and the set up is straight forward. I'm loving the finished project, with the long gearing, it reminds me of a single turbo corvette or something

[@RoadsUntraveled]

Yeah big interstate car for sure! Needs a runway.

[@hairybass480]

Haha. It sounds straight forward. Its all way easier said than done I'm sure. Everyone would do this if it was a simple solution for a nice power curve with forced induction.

[@jamaicanlovrboy]

Thats an outstandingly bad ass build.

[@matthewmohri9990]

I've seen, read, and heard of many Twincharged cars but this takes the cake in originality and utility. Glad I stumbled upon this vid. To me it reminds me of VTEC but on steroids. Okay no hear me out, VTEC has low end cams for daily putting around town and we all know the famous crossover sound into high end power. So this Soarer's set up is like that but on steroids and a kick in the ass from Manchester United's best player. If you do more stuff like this I'm down to watch, I just subscribed. Now I wonder if the owner's going to go even further and add cams(not sure if he has or not)but at that point will it be one of those diminishing returns kind of thing. Who knows, but damn this car is cool.

[@kyleroscoe8082]

it has cams, kelford C's shimless bucket coversiona and the gsc beehive springs. biggest think holding it back right now is it runs on pump gas since we have no e-85 here, but 610whp on pump isnt bad

[@christophercreary]

This build is so crazy that I was 10min into the video and then realized that’s it’s a RHD! 😂

[@Drunken_Hamster]

I'm really glad you've stuck with 30fps over the years. HFR can look uncanny and "cheap" (the soap opera effect) if you do it wrong; and most people do. At the same time, the "standard" and """cinematic""" 24fps and 25fps look too laggy and low quality, especially since it's not a movie we're watching. 30fps is truly the GOAT and the perfect middle ground between cinematic and lifelike smoothness, while also being relatively light on storage space at only 20%-25% worse than 24 or 25fps. The only way you could make it better is to use a 1/50th of a second shutter speed (and ofc make sure that auto-exposure can't change the shutter speed) for just a touch extra motion blur. Another side effect of using 1/50th with 30p is that you can film in PAL countries without the street lights and stuff flickering on camera, so you don't have to change to 25p or 50p.

[@RoadsUntraveled]

Love that you notice stuff like this! Haha. We've always stuck with 29.97 FPS simply because it gives a broadcast/TV - like feel to the footage while 60 fps can make it feel like a vlog and somehow cheaper in quality. A few people have asked over the years why I don't shoot 60 and I just don't like the way it looks 90% of the time. As for shutter speed, i'm always at 1/60. Glad you enjoy the videos :D

[@Drunken_Hamster]

@@RoadsUntraveled You can vastly improve how 50 and 60fps look and feel simply by dropping the shutter speed. Natural motion blur to human eyes doesn't scale with frame rate because our eyes don't have shutters. It's a static 1/40th to 1/60th of a second. Shoot some 50fps or 60fps test footage with a 1/60th shutter if you're curious enough. And yeah, I know 1/60th is "normal" for 30p due to the 180-degree timeline, but try some 1/50th with it to add just a touch of whipped cream on top of what's already near-perfection. Thanks for replying, too. Most people either ignore or get upset at my sperg moments, lol.

[@mikedrop4421]

Yeah, I don't think it gets much cooler than that. It's totally in the spirit of Toyota too. They love their boost

[@drebarthelotte5712]

I drove a preproduction sc400 in 90 91?. I remember how smooth it was. It wasn't even the final deal but it still think to this day that it was so excellent for the people in it. It was fast enough for eating miles. That is I'm sure a fantastic car. I understand that over any car brands. Good ones and bad. I'd take it over a supra any day😊. The ladies always thought it was perfect. I've driven in or driven every special Toyota product. Something about that 7mgt in a Cressida. Thank you for another great video. Pro yoda. My favorite car I drove was a 2 door 1988 camery v6 3 liter 5 spd. British racing green baseball beige leather interior. Before TRD heavy duty antisway bars lowered from factory. Sunroof. Lower gears I think. It Just felt right.

[@vilhjalmrwt]

But Lexus is garbage now

[@greenflavoredstuff]

I guarantee you didn't feel any lag between the pedal and the electronic throttle body. There isn't any on a standalone ECU. And on an OEM application any lag you feel is calibrated into there ECU on purpose to reduce shock, maintain traction, or preserve the drivetrain. Most standalones don't even have the logic in them the dull the response. So tell the purists to calm their tits, there is nothing inherently better about a cable throttle. Source: I used to calibrate pedal response for Toyota.

[@bmxriderforlife1234]

Dude if my business plans work out. Ill have a literal handful of fun builds you can showcase for people. Superlite slc but k series based V8 twin charged. But per cylinder bank so twin supers and twin turbos. 6 or 7 speed sequential. Big tires low weight. R34 but not a gtr a 4 door sedan build. Awd. Twin charged. Old malibu chevelle or a gto conversion of s twmpest or lemans. Or find another 69 or 70 or 68 gto. Twin charged shirt stroked ls7 that revs to 9500. Have a current 69 judge but restoring it to factory so need a donor i can aero tweak and widebody and do less reversible mods to. 1400rwhp at high boost but useless currently 700rwhp can be a bit sketchy at top speeds. Some civic i can get silly light and aero and widebody fairly cheap. Basic k24 destroked build with sleeves. Relatively left alone. High rpm like 700 boosted hp awd with mostly bolt ons. K or ecotec or ecoboost swapped miata. Dont need kuch beyond like 450 to 550 hp. But also planning a bit of the miata cram fu and gonna twin charge something Relatively small and efficient and kinda set it up as another lower power more reasonable version of the slc. Slc is being built to slay hypercars. 700 rwhp low boost and tune map. 1200rwhp max tune and boost. 10.5k redline. Torque mapped to gear and rpms. Abs and traction control. If possible active suspension. Gesrbox is electromechanical with auto blip and a second clutch that works as a brake and slows things down when needed that shifting happening single clutch style, but built in throttle blips. Can go full auto and full manual and retains the clutch pedal or a clutch button. 186ms or faster shift times potentially as fast as like 60ms. Boost mapped with the twin charger for effiency cooling ability and basically an NA like feel but vtec and the rest should let me get an 8k wide ppwerband and able to get that short shift or wind it out feel. Combined with a few tuning and oem tricks for cheating performance metrics but tuned for usability. 0 to 63mph ish first gear. Or 0 to 100kmh. Geared tall like the 05 ford gt to help 0 to 60 times. But faster shifts spaced over a wider rev range pushed a little in favor of the high rpm range. And modern dual clutch shift times. Plus a fast revving flatplane v8. As long as traction and launch control get tuned properly and tires are picked carefully along with suspension. Can probably match the demon 170 0 to 60 times. 4.2L plus 2 1.47L suoer chargers. And 2 decently large turbos but sized to flow based off the individual cylinder banks displacement. Plus modern hit vee benefits. Ac powered interchilled and water to air. Super charger manifold style intercooler plus a small water to air turbo set up. Dual stages of cooling plus more efficiency for compression. Keep temps as cool as possible on the intake. Use the pressure and thermal differentials and the heat rising effect plus modern coats for exhausts and controlled valve overlap. Keep rhe heat out of the engine and prevent heat soak and always cold air going in. Sorta helps air cool. Dual drive by wire throttle bodies. Smaller sizes but still enough over all flow, but better velocity. High rpm safe ac compressor so itll work close to max rpm. Electronic assisted rear diff as well. Transaxle comes from actual supercars if i go with the 7 speed which is the plan as long ad the electronics arent too much of a nightmare. Should drive like a 7L but be close to 25mpg or better fuel econmy dsily type driving and Koenigsegg matching 16mpg wide open throttle at over 1k hp. On pump gas. Reduced flex and rotating mass and friction. Better performance and a few efficiency tweaks plus freed up hp should negate the super ineffiencies especially if i include a clutch or bypass valve for free spinning which many supers for hondas alresdy have. But idea is say 5 to 7 pounds of boost with the supers, max boost around 25psi having the turbos compounded by the super till they are flowing enough themselves or just always depending on exact needs for final engine. But under driven supers and turbos spooling a good few thousand rpms sooner. But only need say 2lbs of boost every 1000 rpms till higher gears high rpms where you might want to stay higher in the over all boost map. But essentially limit fuel and air with the cylinder heads design and combustion chamber design to control thr torque curve and as flat but continually upwards as evenly as possible then just let ir go full nuts at high rpms. Forced induction but also controlled induction system. With lots of overhang so if it needs to turbo regulate it can at lower air atmosphere conditions. But idea is use the super more like planes and other older systems did slightly and high efficiency, turbo for mass flow, compound boost to keep both in peak efficiency range for least heat and losses, and work like antilag. Its sorta like video game building idea and tuner mind set to beat the rich guys in real hypercars. Widerpowerband better power to weight lighter weight torque or variable cam timing like the various ways of doing it in a sense. All thrown into one. And a tribute to alot of racing tech and builders and old cars. 1200kg but build kinda old school modern ish tech but not peak in amy regards high revving but reliable, but also not as high as the new monsters. Fast shifts but not the best. But balanced in a way thatll make it tricky to deal with.
