1UZ swap - running.

[Sammakko]

is a 1UZ chosen over an LSX because you're a toyota guy?

if you autocross, a toyota engine makes sense.. if not... never. the 1UZ is a pig.


please! don't consider this post to be derogatory at all. just curious.

But same pumpkin as the IS300, which I've seen first hand take 700ft lbs of torque on radials

I destroyed a r154 so far... But have replaced it. Only area of concern are axles in my case. 275s are as wide as I ever shall need to go and stock body as plenty of room for it

Its the only thing stock on my car (drive train wise) and my statement was all speculation on my part , good to hear the stock diff. is up to the task. Have read and been told this before by more knowledgeable people in person, guess i have a thick head LOL!

That also puts me off... I really like this build and would love to do the same.
I can get my hands on a 1UZ VVTi + tranny for $990

To fork out the cash for the Motec just hurts, as my budget is very limited and I really do want my creature comforts.

What to do?
