I have a 92 sc400 and i want to take my v8 out and put the twin turbo 1jz engine in. but i need to know every thing i would need to do the complete engine swap.

I also want to know pros and cons on the engine. I'm only doing the 1jz swap because my friend is doing the 2jz swap in his sc400 and my other friend is doing the 4.7 tundra engine.

 

Ho mai gawd!?!?!?!!!!

 

start with the link below:

OMG!! that is *****in classic!!! But bro u need to search CL a little better

And to answer your second question about pros/cons:

Pros:
1. inexpensive
2. Direct drop in (Well at least for my sc3)
3. Reliable
4. You will have a TT engine
5. Fun to Drive (night and day from stock NA 2j)

Cons:

 

Gonna do that in every noob post?

 

The search function is your friend man. Pretty much everything has been done before on here. I was going to do the 2jz swap in my 400 as well. But after some research on here and on Lextreme I decided to keep the 1UZFE and go with FI. PM me and we can chat, I am always looking for local Lexus guys to meet up with or something.

 

someone's gotta do it as long as there are noobs.

 

If thats the case, then I would'nt be surprised if these posts contribute to at least half your count.

 

vtec NO 1jzgte VVTI , variable valve timing on intake YES

 

People with a post count of 200 or so...probably be telling anyone to search.

 

I think the poster whose question you are asking is being sarcastic. Also, for future reference, vvt-i stands for variable valve timing with intelligence.

 

IM also in the Process Of Swapping in The 2JZGTE in My SC400
