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?

Show or Go just depends on how you prep your system.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
