I agree.
1uz is a great motor. But is small, and there's a much easier, more powerfull alternative.

Unique doesn't mean good.

L98 if you won't mod it, L76 with a cam would be a screamer

u can get crate ls motors for $3.5k.

u want a cheap motor, 1jz for $700, get a t4 manifold and a big turbo.

thats cheap but in the end will cost the same.


buy a soarer with a 1uz and put on an m90. been done but its good power for them

Thats the best choice.


That way not only can you have a gay engine, you can look gay driving a soarer ;)
