that car does sound amazing! Thankyou for what you do, I know you work your ass off... quick question :I have a 1st gen tacoma with a supercharged 5VZ-FE making just over 300 crank hp which is alot of fun in a 3500 pound truck. Ive been wondering if you could run a 5vz block with the 3vz forged crankshaft with 3vz heads since the 3vz camshafts can rev up to around 7k rpm where as the 5v cuts at 5300rpm. All the parts interchange but Ive never heard of it being done... was wondering if you had since you know pretty much everything there is especially jdm...
Your review of the Ford Probe was unnecessary. As a matter of fact I have personally gotten comments and concerns from the people of the . Ford Probe community who said that review could have been better . They didn't appreciate the way you bashed and trashed the Probe and I'm one of the people who didn't appreciate that eaither. With that being said your Nissan 240 Hatchback isn't so great either just saying
Dont forget our little sedan that wasn't supposed to recive the 2j the is300 which came with the 3sge beams in the Japanese/European market and got the 2jz-ge in the US market
I have a 1997 stock diamond pearl white with the gold pin strip and badges. It's all stock, I'm the second owner 126,000 on it. The old lady gave me all the maint. Records... Hell even have the original window sticker.
I’ve loved these cars since my friend had a low mileage 3 year old example. At the time, it was by far the nicest road trip car I had the pleasure of riding in. So smooth and quiet you could hear a pin drop. I bought my ‘96 1UZ last year on a whim. I just had this feeling they were on the verge of gaining popularity with the Supra selling at FU money. Then one night, I woke up for a midnight snack and started a random eBay search. And there it was. So cheap I thought it had to be a scam. Royal Jade Pearl gold package, rust free Southern California car, lowered, nice wheels and cleeeaaaaan. I sent the seller a message and he responded immediately and confirmed it was the correct price. I pulled the trigger within minutes and 3 weeks later it arrived at 2 o’clock in the morning on a car hauler. The seller had just installed brand new Tein coilovers the month before I bought it. He claimed the wheels were “just OEM Lexus wheels from a GS300”. I could not find any GS online with the wheels until recently. To my surprise, they’re rare OEM OZ Super Turismos from the Lexus short lived L-Tuned performance division. I don’t condone buying one based on wheels and stance. Those things are relatively inexpensive. First and foremost, have a budget. Then buy the cleanest example you can find from a rust free part of the country. They’re old and you will have to turn a wrench at some point. They all suffer from the same common problems. Door sag, cracked plastic interior pieces, leaking power steering hose, burnt out dash lights and climate control units, cracked upper door trim , torn leather seats and lower control arms. Find one where these issues have been fixed already. Even with 225k my 1UZ still passes the champagne glass on top of the engine test from the original television ad.
So glad I kept the twins on my soarer after watching this, they're so responsive and power delivery is awesome with the twins !... I just had them rebuilt with steel internals
I love my y2k 300. Never going to sell, never going to be without an sc. People who know nothing about these cars are missing out. They're expensive to mod right, but worth the price if done up correctly
I knew a guy down the street had one of these.... didnt know what it was at the time just a cool jdm car ... didnt really realize i was looking at a unicorn
I have the SC400 going through the manual swap. The 1UZFE is a good motor for this car as well. Supercharge or turbo that and well, you can make 400 to 500 hp as well. See you around Atlanta and keep up the good work.
Yes finally I've been waiting for you to do another Sc300/400 or a Soarer video . I love these cars been haveing mine for the for the past 2 years and it's such an amazing and fun car. Glad to so this car getting some attention again
It doesn't matter what car it is nowadays folks act like a few videos are goin to make a cars price triple overnight lmao that's not how the market works...
@@JOSHTHExCREATOR I sold mine, but periodically some remanufactured lower control arms come on ebay for 500 a pair from the same seller. People on clublexus have claimed they last a long time but I didnt have my car long enough after I installed them to tell you.
1jzgte non vvti had stock twins from factory, but the 1jzgte vvti came with single turbo, that 1jz looks like the non vvti since it doesn't have that hump on the front of the cam cover
I use to our a 1jz Soarer. Great car. Heavy as all hell. Can go quick in a straight line and that's about it. Though they handle about aswell as a boat on land would.
Like with many other import jdm cars, I learned about the Soarer through Gran Turismo 1. Dope car, budget Supra. Please do a review on the 2nd Gen Lexus GS300/ Toyota ARISTO next 🙏🏾
Good video bro! I love your videos, I can sit and watch them on shuffle throughout my work shift lol! Super good quality and A1 knowledge! Keep em coming bro!
I had an imported 93 soarer with the twins, got taken out on i75 in it, and it was a very sad day. such a comfortable car and smooth acceleration. one thing that always gets me is when people use the different soarer badge because it's easier to acquire. the gold wing lion is from the 1uz versions (sc400) while the red ones are from the 1jzgte (sc300....250?).
I got my first SC then manual swapped and single turbo’d the NA, caged it and got T-Boned 6 months later totaled and they wanted to give me fair asking price, I feel you 😭
Just got a 91 soarer 1uz. uzz32 with all the options everything work including the 4 wheel steering can;t wait for all the good times as a daily driver
Soarer owner here in the states nice feature!!! Few corrections this is a non vvti 1j came with twins. The spool time is mostly down to that. Second the soarer is not much heavier then a supra i have the exact # somewhere but its not much. Mine has supra breaks and etc so the beautiful thing is it has so much upgrades that directly fit (differential, trans etc) such a fum gt car!! So happy i got mine
I LOOOOVE these cars! We get the 1JZ Soarer here in the U.K. too, but I haven’t got one yet. They better not start going up in price now you made this video! They’re cheap, even the VVTi.
I have a sweet spot in my heart for these cars. A buddy of mine had a white SC300 na-t build in high school. That car pulled on SOOOO MANY cars when we drove around. The car in this video looks like a very cool build. It sounds great and 400+ rwhp makes for an awesome street car. What the hell is going on with that interior though? Come on man, the bride seats(it's a street car), no door panels, and that blue dildo steering wheel? Besides that and the stance I think your a few thousand dollars away from a truly epic car.
This was SO much fun. Huge thanks to David Blake for letting me drive!
Hopefully next time your down this way if you are doing a review on Andys mr2 again or his barracuda we can meet up and you do my ls swapped FC Rx7!
looks nice, i have a 99 pearl white one with a 2jz gte vvti swap in it.....nothing like the sound of a JZ engine under pressure
that inner engine bay shot next to the turbo...perfection.

Ahh, the Sc. The Soarer. It was never the poor man's Supra. It was the gentleman's Supra. Luxury, comfort, and class.
I still prefer the Lexus over the Supra.
It’s not a Supra
Frogman 4 you’re right it’s the supras dad considering the mk4 Supra took its whole chassis and suspension system from the early sc’s
21Willy burrrrnnnnnnn
That would be the aristo
people gotta stop making videos of these cars, we gotta keep them cheap
I got my SC400 for 1000$ and all it needs is some bodywork and minor things, it was an absolute steal
I can’t find any sc300 where I’m at sadly
YES PLEASE, I WANNA BUILD ONE SO BAD! Looking for a shell or non running one so I can do a 1jz swap and manual swap
Or have more ppl and better and cheaper aftermarket. 🤔
Honest to god haha
DON’T LET THE SECRET OUT MAN
Everyone who has brains knows that Soarer and Aristo are 100x better bang for the buck than supra.
DuBstep115 Aristo’s only come with an Automatic

This is the best sounding non vvti 1J ive ever heard.
Chassis non vvtis only don’t sound as good because of the twin turbos. Chuck a big dirty single on a non vvti and it’ll growl just as much as a vvti
@@wadeshinners437 sound better too
Joshua gonna have to agree
No sound difference at all...it's exhaust related not vvti non vvti hocus-pocus..
You haven't heard mine then ;)
This video will make SC prices jump!
The SC300 is so underrated
It shared the same platform with the Supra and in a way a cheap Supra
"It's just fun to go in n out" yes david indeed it is.
Completely underrated glad to see these finally getting some love in the community. love my 94 factory manual sc300. 1j swapped
Right. Nobody around here has anything 1jzgte or 2jzgte swapped or even Toyota related. Too many maros and shitstangs around...smh
You do the best unique modified cars out there. I've been watching you since I was a teen. Now I'm trying the RUclips world out and i love it!

The clips from inside of the engine bay are soooo cool!!!

The camera view by the turbo was awesome!
I have the SC400 going through the manual swap. The 1UZFE is a good motor for this car as well. Supercharge or turbo that and well, you can make 400 to 500 hp as well. See you around Atlanta and keep up the good work.
Happy to see local folks getting on here. Those Sc bois making moves in GA. Also the 1G Eclipse you reviewed is still rocking
dude i love the turbo cam, nice touch

1JZ is one of my top 5 favorite engines ever.
That turbo sounds so unreal! Like something an audio engineer would put in a video game.
The Gran turismo 1 bov sounds almost exactly like this
Sounds like something out of Gundam 00
My first car was a sc400. My favorite car I’ve ever owned. If people keep making videos on these chassis’s I’ll never be able to get back into one 😭
Such a beautiful clean car! This sounds amazing! Great review David 👌👌
The video on the red one made me get one. Wasnt the best choice for a first car I admit, especially when things like control arms are 1000 each.

Never knew these videos existed and now I’m binge watching while surfing autotrader... THANKS A LOT.
David you have been killing it with the reviewer lately. Love the diversity!
As an actual soarer owner, I approve this message
Asa owner of one to anyone thinking of buying one. DO IT JUST DO IT best car I’ve owned

MOPHEOUS REDPILL excel motor works
90's was one of the best decades for cars! They had great designs.
2:31 it clearly says Toyota soarer on the back (same difference)

Hope you've got the wallet for the import fees.
Your content is getting beter again!!
I used to be a Totota tech and a coworker had a built one. Still want to build one of these!
The first car I ever test drove. They still look amazing
The vvti version def helped low down torque and lag but this sounds incredible.
Great video. Keep information about these SC's flowing! It gathers interest and stops them from being recycled into toasters.
The under the hood shot was/is amazing!
I've had my heavily modded sc300 for 17 yrs here in New York. Its holding up like any other car I have driven.
I love the sound of the 1j with a big single its intoxicating wish we saw the engine in more chassis in the states
There’s only 1,902 92 sc300s left and I’m a proud owner of one of them. Glad to see these getting some attention

About time someone made a video fitment industries tripping man.

Awwww c’mon David, you’re gonna make the prices on these things skyrocket with this video!!
Lol
Amazing camera work and editing 🔥
Someone’s selling one around me for 3k with 56k miles says it’s got a 2jZ-ge motor in it and they have a turbo manifold for it , is this a good deal
I love the sc I have 1 with a 1jzgte none vvti and the new tripod R154. Doing a single turbo
1JZs sound so good
I have a sweet spot in my heart for these cars. A buddy of mine had a white SC300 na-t build in high school. That car pulled on SOOOO MANY cars when we drove around.

When the intro music said "eeeuuaah" I felt that
That turbo lag accurately describes what motorcyclists with 600cc inline 4 motorcycles experience too
You should review Sean Musa's turbo SC400
I have those KSport coil overs as well. I love mine so much. Good quality at a good price. That SC looks great. Sounds great, too.
So beautiful! 😩 David pls do another is300 or a ls400
