trebor69 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 At the moment I'm looking for a 1jz engine to transplant into my supra as I would like somewhere around the 400-450bhp mark and budget is tight , this is as far as I can gather the cheapest way ahead but how much power can you squeeze out of the 4.0 v8 Soarer ? There are more of the v8's around and readily available but which would be the best way forward as far as £'s to power and parts go ?

Swampy442 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Its far easier and cheaper to get power out of a turbo'd engine than an na, but you won't get 450 out of stock turbos on a 1J, will require a considerable amount of spends. Tight budget and more power seldom go together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomo8568 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 I would say 1jz is cheaper up to a point. I've just done mine for about £800. Could have done it for less if I didn't change all the hoses for silicon. But that will only get you 350/400bhp at BPU. Not sure on cost of going single. You can get supercharger kits for the 1uz but not sure on price or what bhp you would get. 1jz BPU will feel loads faster than a NA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
