Boosting the 1uzfe will be a little more costly if you want to run a turbo or twin turbo setup. If your using the v8 it would be better to procharge it. They have kits on Lextreme.com so you can add boost to your ride. The 92-94 years have the better stronger rods that can hold boost. The years after that not so much. If you want to go the turbo route you can get the SC300 and make it a NA-T. You can buy turbo kits for that and they can hold a decent amount of boost for the stock bottom end. Sweet cars to have cause most of my friends have the motors in there rides. Currently I am finishing the small details on my running 1UZ swapped mk3 Supra. I have 2 other friends that should have theres up and running within 2 weeks hopefully. Need anymore info ask me I can help you out.

there are several blown 400s on clublexus and i think a few have done 5 speed conversions. you'll put down some pretty serious power and have a tq monster with a boosted v8. do it! lol

300 and 400 front crossmembers are different. If you have the 400, keep the UZ unless you want to back pedal and re-engineer what is already plentiful.
