New engine options for my SR5?

[Manifesto]

The longer i sit here thinking abt it, the more i lean towards swapping out the 4AC and blowing it up with some dynamite.

the 1UZ is the new big thing to do, and i think its very cool, but is it more practical than a 4AGZE? Ive been toying with the idea of a 4AGZE for a couple of years so immediately this was the first place i wanted to go. What incentive is there to having a 1UZ vs a 4AG forced induction setup? the aftermarket is minuscule for the 1UZ, am i right?

also, im trying to keep an open mind about what im going to do next with my car. the impossible might even happen and ill keep it 4AC

ps. i want a Levin

the v8 has twice the hp of the 4ag stock, there is a huge aftermarket for it, and going ze requires alot of little tedious work(as does the 1uz). In my Levin I'm going 1uz and eventually supercharging it.

I'm right there with you manifesto I want to ditch the stock (i have a largeport) from my understanding the main benefit is with the 1UZ you just swap it in and you have instant power although it requires a bit of fab work for the headers to fit right (I believe they have to be custom made). Personally the thing I like about the GZE is it's the same size as the original engine (4AG) you don't have to worry about custom motor mounts and what not and can make a decent amount of power if you turbo it or stay with the S/C. It really depends how much hp/tq you want and what it's for.

Well, it's currently running in my kouki GTS coupe right now...

Ecu: Stock with Dr. Tweak Converted Harness
Header: OBX 20v RWD Header
Transmission: Stock T-50
