1uzfe engine swap details.
So, I have owned my 03 enthusiast for a couple of years now. I have sitting patiently and gleaning any and all information I can in terms of making my car perform better. It is pretty stock right now aside from a popcharger and a new y-pipe. I have seen all sorts of enginge swaps on these cars, but the one I have yet to see is a 1uzfe swap. The 1uz is a great motor that has a huge aftermarket. There is a company that even makes adapter plates for our transmissions. So, I come humbly and ask.... Why hasn't it been done or if it has who did it? If there is anything I have learned from this forum it is that if it has it been done yet then it probably is not worth doing. I just don't understand why nobody has at least tried a 1uz swap. Thanks!

not worth it
I was in a group of friends that were doing 1uz swaps into mk3 supras. I was doing one in a mk2 supra. You would be swapping a less powerful engine into the z. I wish i had started my swap with a lsx based engine from the beginning.

I realize it is a less powerful engine, but you can get a supercharger for a 1u for 1k where as a vq sc costs upwards of 5. Honestly I have been looking at LS swaps for quite sometime. I just like the idea of a Toyota motor in a Nissan.
