You can swap it into an SC300 or 400. The SC400 swap is a little more involved though in terms of the wiring. It may even be easier to supercharge your car, than swap it.

No, the 1JZGTE is the Soarer 2.5 liter twin turbo...
the 1UZ is the Soarer V8...
the 2JZGTE is the 3.0 liter twin turbo big daddy MF'er that came a little later on..
What kind of Lexus do you have?

A "fast" car can be defined as a lot of things.

Umm the best thing here would be to go look for a used supercharger or twin turbo kit in the classifieds and pray for the best.
