How common is it?

 

not at all

 

and retarded expensive. ask UZZ-TT and cowboy bebop on SF

but if u want to stand out at a show, nothing is hotter than seeing those twins under the hood, much nicer than the 2j swap.

at a show/ meet would u go to the sc with a 2J swap or one with something like this under the hood?

The fact that your asking if it is common or not pretty much answers your question.

 

+1

 

Very few were done. From what I know, there're 3 twin turbo SC400 and 2 single turbo SC400 and one is mine. Show or Go just depends on how you prep your system.

 

Its more like a Myth. People talk about it but its more common to get struck by lightning then see one!

 

That is probably a very acurrate statement!! I hardly even see SC's on the road anymore.

hey stevechumo how much did everything cost for your single turbo setup on the 400

 

Well both my friend and I will be working on getting our 400's turbo'd...eventually. Its a long term goal but have faith. We will do it, but not on much of a college budget.

 

Where the hell in Florida do you live? I see them all the time in the Tampa area granted that it is a more populated area per square mile.
If you look at www.Lextreme.com you can find more turboed 400's then on here. Its a UZ based site. My buddy is going to do that setup with his Celica Supra. Pulled the motor out of his car yesterday piece of crap 5m-ge. Other then that not that common as the JZ swaps everywhere. I would like to see more UZ twin turbo setups.

 

To sum up his rant and add more info....

Tampa is a big area for 1uz cars... We are just a bunch of local friends who have gone this road.

We pulled an engine out of a MK2 for a 1uz TT to go in...
SHOLEXMAN has a 1uz swapped MK3
Capt is working on a 5sp/turbo setup
Another local friend daily's his 1uz MK3 (getting turbo'd this year) and is swapping a 1uz into his 86 pickup to daily...
I am working on a twin HX35 setup on my 5sp SC400 after I finish up my daily driver (1uz/5sp MK3).

Sum this up... Tampa will be doing big things with 1uz's this year.

But elsewhere, 1uz turbo's are rare as hell.

 

I don't remember how much anymore. I'd say the turbo system itself without related engine parts or EMS is somewhere around $3K with no shop labor involved.

 

LOL matt you make me laugh sometimes...

 

Got a job today! That means an actual income which means that the 5 speed swap is getting closer. After that some appearance mods and then a turbo setup!!! I want to see how some of the other guys projects go first and how the motor does boosted before I do mine, plus I need to save up alot for it.
