pretty cool, but all the time and $$. . .

i dunno doesn't seem like it's worth it to me for a few extra hp...I'd rather rock a small fast spooling turbo and make 350+

but the 1UZ conversion is unique. Ied much rather say i was able to swap a motor and repaint my car in my garage, then just bolt on a turbo.

Not to mention the engine reliability factor when you dont mess with a turbo setup.

wow. I wonder what was going through his head when the lady ran into him. I was pretty pissed when i got rear-ended last summer. If I had spent 200 hrs (or was it 300 hrs) re-painting and dropping an engine in my car to see someone crash into me, i think i would go ballistic.
