Okay Im trying to import a Soarer 2.5TT from japan but I dont have all the info I need to decide if its worth it so if anyone can help with this or knows a place to import them into the US. Otherwise I plan on getting a SC300 and turbo charging it or doing the soarer swap....which do you guys think would be the best?

Soarer has the same V8 as the SC400...

Twin turbo soarers use the 1JZ engine, same as the turn of the decade Supra turbos...

the SC300 uses the 2JZ-GE,same as the non turbo Supra SEs...


so, if all you want is RHD, you might as well get a salvaged Soarer's INTERIOR, since the 2JZ-GE can probably handle more boost than the 1JZ...

and, 2JZs are easier to find than 1JZs...


RHD drive visibilty SUCKS, especially when turning left...
you might have to mount a cam in the front bumper, or have a passenger at all times...

in my opinion, you might as well get an SC300, get the www.turboimports.com turbo kit, and get some Soarer badges...

You can get a complete 1jz soarer front cut with all you need to convert it for about $2000. That's the way to go if you're on a budget and know how to turn wrenches.
