alright so basically keep the engine stock except for a possible intake manifold (upper and lower or just upper?) i know custom intake manifolds get pricey and to keep the build time low i may look into the best ranged cams and put the rest into a good turbo setup, id really like to get to the 373-411rwkw range, what about the Lextreme .074" head gaskets for a lil bit more boost? i understand what you mean about a turbo setup with no lag, i have a TD04 turbo on my factory 2jzge engine it made 305 rwhp and 335 rwtq on 10psi auto trans 450cc injectors, no lag and instant boost, plan to sell entire setup engine and trans for 3500 USD after the swap is complete. i was looking at a couple of T3/T4 turbos for twins rated at 350hp each, (T28 250hp each) one single T67 (rated 500hp), T72(rated 500-600, T76 (500-800) if i were to go single out of those which would you recommed? i plan to do a R154 swap to get the power to the wheels and possible re-gearing due to the fact i am running factory automatic rear diff, and from what i have heard anything as far as LSD, off road lockers, and ring and pinions made for the toyota 8in will fit my is300 diff, for the engine management i have a MAPecu2 from a previous project i was planning to run on it, if i decide to go for a full ecm im going to look into Mega Squirt MS3, im on a budget, but so far in parts i have a 1uzfe 186,000 mile complete engine, wire harness, auto trans, ecu, m90 supercharger and only have 450 USD in all the parts, i am going to build the turbo manifold myself, and do everything except for the tuning end up it, what i was thinking originally was make the turbo headers and where the pipe crosses the front of the engine at the bottom put a flange in there that way i can do the swap, get all the bugs and kinks worked out of it then be able to bolt the turbo kit on without having to remove the headers (i.e. pull the engine back out) thanks to all your guys advice my overall swap and build time will be cut down by a whole heck of a lot!!! if i can make the headers how i would like i may try making several sets for the SC400 guys around here, BTW the entire reasoning behind this swap is for the sole purpose of UNIQUE!!! people are hating me for taking out a 2jz platform for a 1uz, but i have faith in the 1uz, and i believe i will be about the first one to put a 89-92 1uzfe into an SXE10 chassis in the states, ive seen the altezza/IS200 builds on the net and i love em!!!!
one thing i havent really looked into but have wondered is the oil feeding for 2 turbos, on my IS i used a short nipple to come off the engine block then a 4way brass block screwed onto it which i took my oil feed off of, my oil pressure gauge, and factory oil sending unit, with the 1uz it is virtually the same but just take 2 turbo oil feeds off of it?
P.S. there are only 2 E85 stations here in the knoxville area i believe
