I have the opportunity to grab a 2uzfe (non vvti) for dirty cheap with 88k miles. Knowing their weakness of lower revs and weak rods, I planned on using a 1uzfe early rods and crankshaft.
What can I expect from this engine? I want to run upwards of 12-13psi on twin Holset HX35's (should be 450whp range on a 1uzfe).
Pros
More displacement (4.58L)
Better turbo spool
more power with less boost
oversquare still
heads are superior in stock form
Cons
Weight (85lbs more on top of the turbo stuff)
Tad bit more on the custom work...
Need to be converted to 4 bolt or 6 bolt mains
So looking at this basically... Would this route be better than a 1uz refreshed with similar parts (new bearings, HG, ARP studs all around)?
