    1Jz would be cheaper than 2JZ anyday.... that's because everyone is looking at a 2JZ lol

    Nissan v6 out of a 90-95 pathfinder, swap over 80s 300zx parts, turbo, can make 450 hp out the box with just boost and a good tune. if you blow one up pick another one up for 200 bucks. Not a fan of inline engines so 1uz :D.

    swop

    hey guys,

    I have a 86 runner with a 22re auto 4x4. I was thinking of a full drivetrain swop. my first thought was to buy a wreaked but running 2000 to 05 4runner with a 3.4l v6 auto 4x4 and pull all of the drivtrain including the computer. my other thought was to find a old bronco2 4x4 and do the samething. or just put a new 22re in it. the tranny was just rebuilt 3 years ago. any thoughts?

    Do what will make you happy I'm on my third 22R second with boost and I wish I would have done a 1uz swap and then boost that in the future

    1uz seemed cool, and they sound amazing with ITB's but hard to get a lot of power out of them. if memory served me, the 2uz, the truck engine, was the preferred motor to boost out of that line, lower compression stock, and tougher internals. also 4.7L with boostus would be gnarly on these little trucks. im stoked about 350whp in these, i cant wait till i get more

    If I had my choice I would do the newer 5.7 liter but more then likely I would take a complete swap out of an SC just cause its easier to get ahold of probly pay an arm and a leg for a new truck motor and tranny

    If you are thinking of a supra engine dont do a 7m. I would say 1uz would be awesome! or go 1jz or 2jz
