I regularly see people talk about 1UZ swaps, but very, very few ever do them...

There's dean marcum, the guy on v8supra.com, a couple here working on it, (myself included, though it's a stretch to say as I barely ever get to touch it,) and on lextreme.com there's people putting them in lots of things, mkIII's included.

It's a popular enough motor that there are parts available and if you read up on the swap there's few surprises.

I come from a land down under
It was a GT3040R BB with a .63ar hotside.

Pretty well made boost off idle and was fully spooled by 2000.

Might have some pics somewhere not really sure on the Dyno charts though as I lost a motor during one of the sessions so didn't record it.

Fail town
well i dont have the too much money right now. i know quiet abit about 7m engines and how they work but nothing too in dep. after having a 7mgte in my past supra, im looking for a turbo engine, if it would be cheaper to 7mge > t my supra i would do it rather then droping in a 7mgte. i have searched the forum to find out how to put in a turbo in my 7mge but it looks quiet complicated, i mean dont get me wrong im willing to work hard for my car but i wish it could be a matter of steps such as:
turbo manifold inercoloer and a few more steps, maybe a day or 2 of work.

man... if anyone knows if thats possible please inform me, ill be wiling to spend anything from 1500 to 2000 for the 7mge>t conversion.


thanks guys =]
