hi guys, i am currently contemplating on getting a sc300 and doing a 1jz drop in. what would be the idea engine for this? how reliable is this? what kind of power does it make? i want to stay in a automatic. any and all help would be very much appreciated.

How about just look at the first 3 pages of the performance section and open any of the 12 (yes...I counted them) threads that relate to the 1J.

no need to get your blood pressure rising.

When you search for something like 1JZ that only has three letters in the word, use a wild card character, or asterisk. Search the performance for "1JZ* turbo", "1JZ* swap", etc...I promise you that your results will be fruitful.

The 1JZ is rather reliable. The fuel economy is good. The performance is amazing for a 2.5L. It can achieve 400whp without much creativity being required. It can handle huge numbers, but you begin to loose streetability over ~500whp as the power band becomes thin.

This statement is useless.

This however, is usefull

Sorry if I sounded too "agitated".

It is just that this exact question comes up literally daily!

Good luck with your swap project.
