I had an Altezza header on mine - designated for an IS300. Was lucky enough that it popped up on Craigslist locally at the time, for cheap. Didn't know when I bought it if it would fit or not. But it fit perfectly; cleared block (obviously), motor mount brackets, subframe flanges, and...

I had a 2JZ-GE in my '86.5 for over 6 years with a Tweak'd harness and the 2JZ 89661-14600 factory ECU (it was a JDM MAP engine, not MAF, non-VVTI). Extremely reliable and just a little bit peppier than the 7M. I wouldn't call it an "easy" swap. But the parts to do it are all available from...

Sad to see a MkIII end life that way, but understandable considering the rustification. Looks like you got a ton of parts off it though, so you can offset your expenses some.

Rims look just about perfect, size-wise, in the wheel wells. What size are they? 17x8? And what offset? Looking for something myself that has the tires tucked inside the wheel well by about 1/2" to 1" or so. 'Course, mine's not as clean as that, so need the wheels to pep up the look some...

You've done some nice clean-up on the interior. Looks a ton better, from first picture to most recent.

Sorry. No, it wasn't a 5 month long swap meet. Just got busy with job, house, wife, kids,..... Dimension X is approx. 1.763" (44.75 mm). Dimension H is .455" (11.56 mm). The bushing housing has a weld fillet around it also. The fillet is approx. 0.2" radius (4.5 mm). Allow a radius on your...

I have a 89-92 subframe sitting in the garage loose. But I won't be able to measure it until at least sunday, due to work and the swap meet.

Does anyone know what the spring rates are on the Eibach springs? So that someone could compare apples to apples? I have Eibachs on the car now, but am considering some coilovers. I can't seem to find the spring specs anywhere. The car needs new bushings all around, and might as well look at...

Put mine in the 3" intake pipe right after the air filter, which is located in the factory location. An oversized hole with a rubber grommet from Napa holds it in place. If you decide to add a oil catch can to your engine, make sure the IAT sensor is upstream of the oil catch can suction source...

Sent a PM to Randy at BIC to see if he can make heads or tails of the situation. Perhaps his 2WD Toyota truck mounts will work, but maybe the angle is different at the base.

Hi guys (and gals), I got these DM motor mount brackets for a 2JZ swap into a 86.5 NA. Motor is JDM assembly from Quebec. Plan on sticking with existing subframe, so using the square biscuit motor mounts. Only problem is, one motor mount bracket fits both sides and the other motor mount...

I apologize in advance for my noob question, but here goes. Plan on this swap also as my 86.5 NA is sitting in the driveway with the BHG. Haven't picked up an engine yet as I'm trying to study up (with your fellows' lively discussionary help) how best to proceed. Seems like the 2JZ-GE with...

Well, as far as cooling is concerned, it's had a very nice aluminum 3-row on it since the summer with a reliable Flex-a-lite dual puller and a reliable controller. So that's not been an issue. The rest of the car I've had for 15 years and is pretty much the way I like it - manual trans...

Hey guys (and gals), Second BHG on this motor, and just don't feel like (or have the time to) tear into it and discover more problems. '86 7MGE, manual trans. 225K miles. Never run hard or raced. Up until BHG (lots of blue/white smoke), ran great with regular synthetic oil changes and...
