Cool but probably pricey. Why not turbo the 2jzge?

car i can get for a grand. I can drive it home and and its in mint condition. I just want to do something different not something you don't see every day something old in something newer. It is a 92 model.

Different? Ah, LS1 turbo, 1UZ turbo, Carb'd 350 turbo, and just for kicks 22-RE turbo?

NA-T on the 2JZ would probably be the most effective, other than that I like the 1UZ turbo idea. The hareness is basically the same, so its plug and play for the most part.

It can be done, it's the same as a 7M -> 2J swap but in reverse..

The 2J would be better anyway, but if you wanna get rid of it, I'll take it..:D

Also depends on what 5 speed you want to use, they came with W58's but 1JZ's came with R154's and all you'd probably need is the correct driveshaft, shifter extender, etc...

I kinda always had in the back of my head that I'd do this to a Mk4 if I ever came across the money. Not a problem I have to worry about, but it'd be good for kicks.

That said, if the SC isn't broke, why attempt to?

Well here is the big plan. The total idea of all is to put a 1uz-fe in the pos. the 7m in the sc and put the 2jzg in a 87 cressida that i can get for fixing my neighbors tractor. Well at lest that what im kicking around.

I like the idea of something old in something new.
After I swap the 1j into the Mistress, I'm thinking of getting a 90s toy and swapping in the 18r. ;)
My old boss did a rwd swap on a pt cruiser and threw in a tri-power 365(iirc)...bad ass. :D
