Well, I have been a happy roadster owner for about 4 years now and I think its time for some change. Sadly the little 1.8L just wasn't fulfilling my need for speed lol. So I started doing some research and started coming up with a plethora of options i.e turbo, super charged, motor swap and a built n/a engine. So one day my buddy decided to go a different route with his build of higher HP and i got handed a 1UZ-FE and i said why not. :8): so thats how i ended up deciphering you can say. Yes I know the engine specs aren't through the roof and yes i know that the after marked support isn't the biggest but the challenge is what i'm looking for. I have the resources and the space so why not.


This is the donor car we pulled from. a lexus sc400
