Sc300 only if manual

Get the sc.
>tfw no 1jz soarer

IS300.

Its 300lbs lighter. Weight-to-power ratio of 15.21 (IS300) to 15.53 (SC300). So, Stock for Stock, I would put my money on the IS300.

My auto sc300 was one of the slowest cars ive ever owned. The car is just too heavy to go anywhere out from a dig. The is300 has more torque.

SC300 if you're willing to go turbo. They're cat piss slow without a little work.

SC, its the same chassis as the supra but is heavier due to the luxury shit

In a sense the 2jz is the worst thing about the Supra, it ruins the handling.
Better to get a cheap Supra and drop a 1uz in it.

IS300 if you're in it for performance.

The SC is a grand touring car, not a sports car. It's great on the highway, but it's heavy and awkward in corners.

IS300 has great handling stock and can be improved from there. Also weighs less despite having two more doors.

It's rare to find a manual in either.

Keep in mind the non turbo 2JZ is NOT very strong.
Because it didn't have to be NA.

My vote would be the is300

That is no joke. I cream my pants thinking of finding one in good shape in a manual but alas.

sc300 is the same chassis as a mk4 supra can be found cheaper and a soarer 1jzgte is bolt up plug and play with the harness extended 18inches. IS300 will cost more and is more expensive to turbo or swap with a gte but has better balance and weight.

also the getrag 6speed is only manual worth having over a built auto in these cars for power imho.

I chose the IS/Altezza, the more I drive it the more I like it.

>same chassis as the Supra.

People often make that mistake for some reason and is simply not true. If it was, most of the parts would simply bolt over between the two. However that is not the case. The Supra and SC/Soarer are different chassis. The Supra is an A platform and the SC/Soarer is a Z platform.

The block, rods, and crank are identical between the two. It's arguable that the GE engines are just as strong as the GTE. Plenty of NA-T conversions out there.

Z30 Soarer has more in common with the A70

no they arent senpai

Am I allowed to say Chaser?

You can boost the na, it's a common thing to do and you can buy literally everything for it off the shelf anyway.

On the non-vvti engines the only real diffrence are the pistons and head (has different ports and bolt pattens for the manifolds)
oil return blocked off and no oil quirters iirc (which can be taken care of)

VVTi has weaker conecting rods in addition

Cousin of mine had an na-t GS300 making 420whp. It's not an impossible thing to do.

>>14138105
The IS has better amenities than the SC which barely changed since it hit the streets for MY1992. The IS looks nicer and objectively it's the better car.

The only reason to pick the SC is because it looks sportier.

>>14145337
Crank is the same on all
Pistons are different
VVTi has weaker rods, IS even more so.

>>14145337
Yes they are.

Besides the turboes and associated plumbing, the only mechanical difference between a pre-VVT-i GE and GTE are:

- the head design
- the lower CR pistons
- the oil squirters

VVT-i GE motors got thinner and weaker rods.

I'm not familiar enough to say how common the A70 is with the Z30, but that's because I've never heard of someone bolting up A70 parts to a Z30 or vice-versa. I have heard that there are some parts are interchangeable to with A80, though.
