I drove his car when he was drunk and couldn't drive. Its a blast to drive especially when down shifting to a light. Its very responsive threw all gears did a 50mph roll down shift to 4th. The car gets up and goes smooth though not as violent as my Supra with its crappy suspension and driveline bushings.

actually my comments are direct from riding in a 1jz supra a few weeks back it did have a sorta large single turbo, but cruising at about 35 in 3th (don't know the rpm) he punches it, and the car does not do anything but sorta barley accelerate, my car at that situation will put you in the seat then start breaking the tires free. it was a low 12sec car. so I'm not saying the car in all situations is slow. but the just gas and go it had nothing.
yes i agree they can make power and they are not bad motors. Nore do i think they are actually ricer in anyway. but they are down on displacement. and sense all I've ever heard about the UZ series motor is that they are crap and i disagree strongly ill let you guys have back what i got. I love the fact you guys are so bent out of shape about this :-)

Dude your motor that is almost twice as large barley even makes half of what the gutless 1j makes. Hell your car didn't even make close to the power my car made STOCK. LOL :LOL:
Sorry to off topic again. After you told me about this thread I just had to check it out! Good work on the car. It does look great

I cant believe this is back up again..
Actually like posted before by someone else they make about the same power. My comments where only in regard to swapping a SC400 to a 1JZ by the time you spend the money to put a 1jz into a sc400 you could have a killer 1UZ. They take boost really well.
I never once said my STOCK 1uz can beat evey 1jz powered cars out there in a drag race. both Ralph and Kelly have more money in power making upgrades on there 1jz's then i have total in all 3 of my cars combined, so theirs really nothing to prove. I never once said either of you had slow cars.
But Chris was Full throttle for a good 10 seconds with the car barely picking up 5mph, he was way out of the cars power band, yes of course you wouldn't be racing anyone outside of your power band. but its my reason for why i say the 1uz with a manual is a whole lot more fun to drive around then a 1jz. and for the sc400 guys a whole lot cheaper. i don't care to race either of you, im sure i would loose in a drag race to Kelly and fairly sure to Ralph car as well, but that's not at all in the spirit of what i ment by my post. hell i could build a 4ag that would walk all over my current supra, doesnt mean its more fun to drive.
this is the most ridiculous argument Ive ever seen and its way outside of what i ment by my post that started the whole thing. So i don't like the 1jz compared to the 1uz F-ing suck it up, not every one has to like what you like. a lot of people don't like the 1uz over the ls1, you don't see us 1uz guys getting but hurt over it, we don't care.

Heres a video for you folks...

Rules for this thread - Do NOT make this into a W58 vs X thread - I do not care.
Car runs... and very well mind you. Yes I am a rookie driver to manual... 4 days old to be exact. No comments on that either.
Other than that.... post away![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
