Even though a 1J swap may be a easier option, I think this is a good option for those who have the older 1UZ. It may not be the best, but it works. If it can be done on the 350Z's, vettes and camaros why not on the Lexus?

Lot of good info here as some of you pointed out. I say if you have the cash and the time why not?

5.5 is "safe" if u wanna run more then that on that motor u need to upgrade other things... everyone does the 1jz swap because it has been proven to make more power on stock internals... a lot more parts available, etc. if u have a 1uz already i would suggest u stick with it and make wat u can from it... the 1 jz swap will not just slide into ur car like it would on a sc300.

the man spent this on R and D so we dont have to.... that's the whole point.
his set up is extremely simplistic and remember the engine block has not been cracked open at ALL. and that's a $200 dollar ebay turbo. all on 5.5 psi... think about it.
he can still change his timing belt without 2hrs of before hand labor and access EVERY component he could before the turbo add on. hell he even still HAS a/c, even the fuse boxes are in the same place as original spec.

Not sure but dyno graph looks like its chocking after 5k rpms. I'm thinking to use pipes that are a tad bigger to relieve some pressure at high rpms or maybe bigger turbo housing. If you are on a budget this is the way to go. I am gathering my final parts to make a setup like this. Thanks for the inspiration.

here's one of my boys racing his na-t vr6 VW aginst one of his boys lexus ISF
ISF is 417 hp rated his is stock as best as i know
the vr6 is a 2.8 making 172 hp stock with turbo its making 300 hp at the wheels he says.
the sc400 turbo in this post is making the ruff equivalent of this vr6 in hp and torque...
giving a good idea of how this sc400 would handle itself with an ISF at speed.
for the record much money has been spent getting this VW to perform at this level and he said the race was at about 140mph...
