    Twin turbo UZ ST185

    Wow that's good news haha. Yes, AWD setup would be very nice. I've heard the car wouldn't be as nimble as before and that weight would be thrown off. I've been looking at the weight figures of the UZ and other components. Not too bad. I knew it was very feasible. Just gotta plan right...

    Twin turbo UZ ST185

    Say, I looked at some of your videos and pictures and the car seems to be very nimble. Although firsthand I wouldn't know. Is the 185 as nimble as before when you had the 3S engine in? Did you notice a change in handling. Has it gone down or up in performance?

    New to the 1uz

    The car looks good. Wish I had the 1UZ as of now:D Why don't you consider getting some headers, exhaust and performance intake. They're the best upgrades for the money and will you give you great power and all around performance. For any car. Then later, some suspension upgrades, tires wheels...

    Hey folks, new here AWD 1UZ Celica anyone?

    1UZ in a 98 Tacoma (Hilux) what year motor do I want?

    Well I'll be the first. And here's my 2 cents. The 1UZ is generally, lighter than the 2JZ, has more power stock, MPG is considerably the same. Not to mention 2JZ may also cost more because of the demand. And yeah 1UZ swaps are rare probably to the fact that everyone is so hyped up about the...
