New with some dumb/easy questions

Ok well I will have to see what I can do. But after a few days of lots of research I am kind of on the fence with a 2jz or a 1uz, buying a 1uz is much cheaper, lighter and should move the weight balance back. There is a local 1uz for $550.
I guess the better question is what are you power goals and what sort of power band are you looking for?
Like I mentioned earlier I would like to be even to the power levels I have in the GT-R so about .16rwhp/lb with driver
If I can get the Supra down to 3075lbs with driver I would like to have about 495whp, obviously the earliest power and torque band possible, seems like kind of an odd question, do people want really peaky power bands? lol.

3075 lbs? Ambitious, but certainly possible. For a car focused on handling and response, I would recommend the 1uz. Lighter, shorter, higher compression, and the earlier engines were VERY overbuilt. There is a guy on here (I forget his name) who boosted a 1uz in his Mk3, the results are pretty awesome if I do say so myself. Even in NA form, they're a nice engine. Found out today that mine has enough power at 1800rpm to fry the rears through the slushbox... for what that is worth.scottryana;1872924 said:
The ONLY downside I can see to the UZ approach is the relative lack of aftermarket support for the engine. If you can tune it however, it is a great platform. That, and if you want cams, you have to buy 4 of them. I believe Kelford makes some for the engine though...
Looks nice man, and somehow you have managed the impossible: To make Godzilla look like just another lizard, size wise.scottryana;1873079 said:
