Okay well i'm not all too familiar with the car and i tried searching 1JZ in the search bar and nothing came up... not too sure why since i see it in thread topics every once in awhile
but anyways
i was just wondering what exactly is the 1JZ engine because i see everyone mentioning it everywhere, and i'm sorry for the newbie question because it seems as though everyone but me knows what it is lol
im guessing its a stock supra twin turbo engine???
and also what is the difference between the engine set and the whole clip? is the 1JZ the best engine swap you can get for a SC400?
thanks for your time

damn noob. you suck at searching
a 1jz is 2.5liter straight six. never came in any usdm cars
you'll find them in soarers, supras, and chasers elswhere
a stock supra twin turbo engine is a 2jz-gte 3liter straight six
and engine set would consist of engine, harness and ecu. transmission may be included as well. a front clip is just the front have of the car chopped off.
the best engine swap you can get for an sc400 would be a b18c5. why would you want a 1jz those things are crap. vtec ownz![Thumb Up](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
try searching on clubna-t.com you'll find a lot more answers there than you ever will on CL.

so to my understanding the b18c5 is the best engine swap i can do that is compatible with the chassis of an sc 400 correct?
what car does that come off of and how much should i expect to pay for that

Dude don't you know the 1JZ's came out of the toyota SUPRCAR? The vtec system is incredible on these motors.
but the B18DC4 is a way better canidate for your SC400.

the difference is 0.5 liters. more displacement = more power/torque. price depends on many different factors.

dude, please go to wikipedia and type in toyota engines. The SC400 came with a 1uz-fe. The USDM (US domestic market) Supra TT came with the 2jz-gte. The 1jz-gte was for JDM use only read: supras, soarers, and chasers.

I think you should do some reasearch on your own car which is an SC400 and the motor that is already in it before you even think about putting a different one in it. Just my two cents
