what would be cheaper 1uz turbo or 2jzgte swap on sc400?
hi i have a sc400 with 1uz ive been to many shops now for estimates on 2jzgte swaps and they want 8,000.00 now im only looking for atleast 400Hp and a little blow off sound is it possilble to turbo 1uz for cheaper than that even if it is to get around the 300's my car is really for show not to go i know the the worst could probably be looking for someone to do manifolds but will it even be more or less?

well for some reason i asked why cant i just do a compleate stock 2jzgte and they told me it would be a lot cheaper going single then mounting it on with dual stock, i didnt understand that but also they said alot of this 2jz you buy come with bad turbos which would be bad if you mount it and then have to go back to single because of bad turbos. im really just trying to go the shortest route to turbo and to be honist he mention something about when is not a usdm since it will be an aristo jdm single is alot easier, and also the thing is too many people have 2j's up north people grab anything and do 2j's not to much 1uz around i guess this bad boys are serious....

If you want the cheapest way to 400 then do a Supercharger setup on the V8, or 1j.
TT v8 will cost alot more, unless you really rig it up using stock manifolds turned around.
Would you be staying automatic, or going manual if you went 2jz?
You could keep costs way down by going with an automatic, or attaching a 5-spd, instead of the GETRAG 6-spd. Maybe just go 1JZ-gte, I'm pretty sure you could get that to 400hp pretty easily and cheaply.
Best best, Supercharge. Check Lextreme.com

Just checked out Bulletcars... seems pretty cool. Would I need to change my stock automatic transmission to handle that much power? Would I need anything else other than the kit and the supercharger?
