i know of some guys who put it their MK4 supras
in a way its superior over the 2jz.. since a 1UZ is an overbuilt engine just like a 2jz.. it was used in the le mans MR2 car.. its cheap to find.. they go for anywhere 300-1000$.. i have a MR2 and my dream was to put a 1UZ in there but its way too much work.. so im putting in a 5vz-fe which handles boost VERY well.. its a wonderful engine
and now the the supras are using 3UZ.. but the 1UZ is superior to the 3UZ for boost purposes
it was voted one of the top ten engines of the year twice

Now I dont want to sound like an a$$, but I do know for a fact that usual v style motors are very complicated due to the balancing issue. When pushing over 550 hp on a v style motor the balancing becomes an issue and then renders thay setup useless unless you do forged goodies and blueprinting.
Also another thing to mention is the VQ 35 or the VK45 motors which happen to be V6 and V8 are both having the same issues. I can prove this to you cause I have a couple buddies that have these cars and motors. They should have kept the RB series instead of changing them to the V6 and V8.
Also do you have a link for this motor swap? I would love to see it. Thanks
