First ride in a 1j

[kwnate]

I gotta say I was impressed! Very smooth with more then enough power. Its how the mk3 shoulda been from the begining! I still love my loud and rough 7m so I don't see myself making the swap, but I see what draws you to it. I'll still throw in some cheap shots but its all in good fun! I guess I can now accept that rakkasan is doing the swap. As if it mattered :biglaugh:

[suprahero]

I've never had the priveledge, but I wouldn't mind having one. I may do a swap if mine tears up. I may go 2jz though. It's alot of money, but I plan on keeping my car for a long time...........lol

Chains can't even hold your beast, Nate..............lol

[Brewster]

you seen da light

[lifesnotfair]

kwnate: good! Was it a stock 1JZ or did it have some power? Because we know you've built your car to have some extra power, so it wouldn't be fair if what you got in was a stock 1JZ :)

It wouldn't be fair? life's not fair..................pun intended

[lifesnotfair]

Awwwww! :)

[rakkasan]

LOL. It's all good

Well it doesn't seem as if they were racing so I don't think Nate would expect a mostly stock car to perform at the same level as his car with upgraded turbo and all that good stuff. Even if he had 1000hp, he'd still be able to get a good feel for what the 1J is like in it's stock form.

Onl thing keeping me from 1j'ing is my cross members.... I should go source an 89 with a BHG.

[OneJoeZee]

the cross member is easy to deal with.

[Big Wang Bandit]

Well im gonna keep reading jza70.com.....

[JustAnotherVictim]

If I had another car I would put a 1j in it, but I'll stick with my beefy 7m.

BIC motor mount adapters? ....that's what I used...no problems what so ever....and y-pipe has PLENTY of clearance.

[kwnate]

The 1j had intake, exhaust and ebc. I'm not comparing it to mine, cuz I destroyed him on the street :biglaugh: I'm comparing my car when it was bpu, to this 1j that is also bpu.

[onejz]

my car is not BONE stock plus it is a right hand drive soo come on dont be hurting the cars feelings

[onejz]

[Big Wang Bandit]

:O! Where did they go!

[onejz]

[Big Wang Bandit]

Good idea ;]

Good looking car man

[onejz]

Ya besides the AW CRAP sticking on my driver door stupid key marks

[lifesnotfair]

To the person complaining about the crossmember: get BIC Performance motor mounts, they are wonderful and solve the crossmember problem.

[s383mmber1]

Hells -

If that cross member "problem" is the only thing holding you back......

I dont think your ready for JZ powa

Right, because it's almost identical to MY car :)

If i was to ever go JZ i'd never go half ass... if your going to swap put the best in! 2JZ or 1UZ would be my only options

[OneJoeZee]

I hardly consider a 1J 'half assing' a swap.

[devil358]

I'm sorry, but I don't see how the h**l putting an engine in a car that came in it from the factory is "half-assing" anything. If I listed to all the people who ignorantly told me to swap a chevy 350 into my supra and call it a day, then I would consider that half assing it (no offense to the v-8 swaps...we all have our reasons for things). I've noticed one thing in this forum...it seems like the people that trash talk the 1J are people that have never had one... putting in a 1J is not half assing anything!

[onejz]

mine came like it ... From the factory which i was told.. And my car only has 73000 km on it

[IJ.]

Nah it's more like 2/3 assing it ;) <jk>

[onejz]

Well that is just mean lol a stock 1j kills a stock 7m

[IJ.]

LOL it's an in joke between Joe and I ;)

[suprahero]

Man, I'm never in the in crowd...................:icon_cry:








I'm going to start an inside joke with me and Suprahero, cause I've heard he's cool......................:biglaugh:

[IJ.]

well .5% think he's cool ;)

[onejz]

well .5% think he's cool ;)
Well I have a jk for ya lol .....*** walk down the **** and **** each ****

[bigaaron]

I built one of each so I don't have to choose which is better, just which one I feel like driving that day! :naughty:

Calling a 1jz "half ass" is just insulting and flat out wrong, btw.

[IJ.]

The irony was I answered his post about not being part of an in joke with his own in joke :)

[suprahero]

Would you care to explain this to me? I would like for you to feel in the blanks so I know where we stand. I see the lol, so hopefully it's not bad, cause I haven't said anything negative towards you.

Aaron, you know IJ wouldn't say anything negative towards a supra motor of any sort. Just being funny with OneJoeZee.................lol

Which one do you prefer to drive? Do you have any 1jz clips in? I will go check out your website in a few minutes to see............lol

This was what I was talking about.

I'll take a 1JZ over a 1UZ anyday!

[suprahero]

My bad. That is a kind of offbase comment imo........lol
I agree with wanting a 2jz, but I would never, ever, under any circumstances say anything bad about a 1jz......................lol

[bigaaron]

In the shop right now we have two mk3 1jz swaps, the 2jz mk3 back for a fuel pump upgrade and sway bars, and a 7m-gte mk3 build using a brand new short block and a bunch of upgrades.

I say this because I think I am qualified to talk about the differences of each engine without bias and without making nonsense comments just to make arguements start. :icon_razz

I compare the 7m to a classic muscle car. It is not the smoothest running engine, but it just puts you in your seat and sounds mean.
There is also that feeling of accomplishment you get from making the engine that came in the car make big power!

The 1jz is so much fun to drive. It revs higher, feels smoother, has better throttle response, and in even stock form can take out most cars on the road. Once the twins spool it GOES!

The 2jz has that low end torque from the sequential setup but pulls very hard after 4500rpm. It is basically the updated and improved 7m.
It has more power output then the previous two and more potential if raw power is what you want.

BTW, I started this thread to say that I was impressed and I see why people would swap to the smaller displacement engine. Choose what suits you best outta those three, they are all going to make you smile!

Very well said Kwnate, but one of the three, and I'm not saying which one, will make you cry. Facts of life. I know it, you know it, we just have to deal with it. Now having said that, I think the guys like yourself, that really do a first rate rebuild, will probably not have to go through another rebuild. I think if you do it right the first time, you're set. We just don't get many rebuilds like yours, IJ's,Duanes, Hardcharger's,ReighnMakers,Hellslegion. I know there are a few more, and I apologize if I missed yours. No offense. Most of our rebuilds are just the headgasket. No block resurfacing, or head work, etc. When mine goes, I'm using some of the above mentioned as a guide.

To my motor: Please don't tear up anytime soon....................lol

[OneJoeZee]

LOL it's an in joke between Joe and I ;)

I still love you, ian.:icon_conf

I Just Put a hole through the side of my block. Man did i cry. I have deffinatly used peoples feedback about the engines and doing the swaps themselves to judge what was the best route for me.

I haven't had the pleasure of sitting in and getting to experience a 1J or 2J but to listen to you guys talk about is a ton of great info and very helpful

Thank you!

Now i just need enough cash to do a swap :3d_frown:

[suprahero]

Sell a kidney...................Just kidding. I probably need to start a savings right now, cause I'm going to build mine right if it tears up. Good luck with yours.............lol

[Serzy]

I absolutely love your TwinTurboR but my god get some new targa seals they only cost $130 for the set and you wont have to be embarassed of your silicon mess on the roof :) heh just had to point it out... Awesome car though man, I wish mine was a real deal r model

[Evilempire1.3JZ-GTE]

ya back to pre 89 members i use bic mounts they are an upgrade using the solid mounts over the 89+ ones. for the price of 1 new liquid mount from toyota get the bic mount kit and use the hard rubber ones they last longer can hold up more power and dont break. i think the hard rubber mounts are about 23$ and you can get them from a junk yard used because they dont break normaly not easily.
