i recently purchased a SC400 92

so i just hav to ask this question

which is better a 1jz swap or a 2jz swap

considering cost, mod friendly, power and difficulty installation

 

covered so many times... 1JZ is cheaper but wont produce all the power a 2JZ will. Both are mod friendly. Im not sure but im guessing install should be around the same. Im thinking you might run into issues with the 1JZ engine harness needing to be extended for the fact it comes out of a RHD car.

 

The harness will have to be extended on both 1J and 2J. And the swap is going to be more work on an SC400.

 

yeah i thought it might hav been askd a few times before

if u didnt notice i am a new member so im not use to the forum yet

thanks for the info tho

 

Yeah personally id love to go with a 1j, because im not too crazy for power,but considering my car already has a NA 2j I might as well, go with a mild Na-T build.

 

Use the search button and dig up some builds read up on them. You should get more of an idea that way since a build has so many variables even though you listed a couple guidelines.

 

Welcome to clublexus. Don't be a cheap. Do it right. Good luck. Fyi its gonna cost more than you got your car for.

 

where are u in florida slick chris???

 

boring old coral springs

Welcome to the forum. Best of luck in which ever route you decide to go with.

 

Yo what up congratz on the pick up of ur SC if ur modding on a budget then a 1j or NA-T is ur best bet....

I have heard of Coral Springs....used to work over there...PM me if you need help with anything

Welcome to the Club

 

good to kno

what does a Na-t usually go for?

and how much horse?

 

Smh at all u sc4 guys swapping for a 6 banger. I have an sc3 and wish I had the V8 >:|

 

*correction* wish I had the BIG BOY V8 >)

 

Depends...how deep are ur pockets.....LOL

Seroiusly thou NA-T is (IMO) the half-a**ed way to go sometimes, thats pretty much buying a turbo kit and slapping it on there.....Now dnt get me wrong some ppl do it right buy taking out the engine, building the internals up and put down some good power...but in the end u could have gotten the 1j or 2j gte....what kind of budget are you working with if you dnt mind me asking and ur power goals?

Any body esle who has an experience with the NA-T please chime in
