I have seen the 1uz vvti swap thread. It is not as difficult as a 2JZ swap because it requires no rewiring. Instead all the wring gets swapped out of the donor car. It requires a front clip with keys and possibly the wireless door receiver. It is an easier swap but it's also a more labor intensive swap.

Maybe talk to this guy and see where he got his setup?

Dude you need the whole car, even the fuel tank has to be swapped over all that stuff is different, dash harnesses front end harness.
I was going to do it because my friend had a full donor car i mean complete but for the power gain for me it wasn't worth all the trouble.

I forgot the fuel pressure regulator is located in the gas tank. Accurate, the gas tank does need to be swapped.

If you want to stay UZ I think the 60HP gain coupled with the 5 speed automatic and the taller differential is worth it.

haha I really wanted to stay with the 1UZ but the time i will take to swap the stuff over you are beasiclly doing double work.
I am not even talking about the money.. just can a 98SC4 and some some money, the hassle , and the time IMO.
Don't get me wrong i love the VVTi V8,there is actually another member that did the swap.

If you have the m90 already I would go with the bullet car kit. I was planning on doing the same but now I'm leaning towards the 4.7 short block and maybe some nitrous. This is very far away from happening for me though

well for 6 psi you should be ok without an intercooler. as far as engine management you wont need it though you might need a fpr also you'll want an oil cooler for the transmission and you are goin g to want to up the line pressure. whp would be around 230-240 ish vs. the stock 180. oh and make sure to get a torque converter.

I did the vvti drivetrain swap...it is highly recommended that you have the whole car just to make the swap easier. the fuel tank did not need to be changed,just route a hose from fuel output(existing) directly into the fuel tank(existing port) for venting and everything will work as it should (converted to one way system just like 98-2000) however, the fuel pump needs to be changed to 98-2000. for the record it was worth the labor put into it for me...the car has a totally different personality! 290 hp 300tq changes the game, looking to boost in the future but i now have a great baseline to start with.

depends on what "harder" means for you... for me it was a full restoration project,new interior, new everything, so i gutted the car completely to make the swap. engine,transmission,differential,inside and outside wire harnesses,steering column,abs unit w/hardlines, all vacuum lines,dash cluster and all ecu's where swapped.. I made it work with my existing 95 dashboard (swapped for black color), swapped gauge cluster for a 98 one and kept existing 95' airbag srs system (independent-with existing ecu and crash sensors) project was 95% plug and play for me but would have been 100% had i swapped everything over (like dashboard and airbag systems). The end result? my car is a 95 obdI on paper but is a fully functional 98' obdII with all systems working as it should (engine immobilizer,upgraded trac/snow,key fob with multi function remote)... no lights on the dash and plenty of power to the wheels via vvti technology.

not to thread jack but this is my thread concerning this project: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sc-...oration-3.html

Talk to Neil Griffiths at Rush Imports, he has tested and proven all kind of superchargers on his cars.

Contacted lextreme without any response.
