    New here..need suggestion for which motor to replace my 87' with a blown 7mgte

    Cool. Thanks for your opinion. Do you think I can find a 2jzge for cheaper than a 1jz? I asked a certain vendor and the 1jz he wants 1700 without the r154.

    New here..need suggestion for which motor to replace my 87' with a blown 7mgte

    Hello, I'm looking to get my car running as soon as possible. The goal is to have either a 1jzgte or a 2jzge. If you were in my position and just needed to have a running car with one of these motors, which would you do if you were on a college budget? My choices: 1) Pull a 2jzge from a junk...

    Quick Question - can a 2jz or 1jz bolt up to a stock 87' 7mgte auto?

    Hello, Just a quick question here. I'm buying a 87' with a blown motor but the car still has a good working order transmission in it. Can I simply bolt up a 1jz motor or a 2jz motor (na or tt) to the stock 87 auto? I just need to get this thing running so I can keep it at my place. Thanks...

    Where to buy a 2JZ jdm Motor?

    I am helping a friend install a jdm 2jzgte motor and R154 into a S14 240sx this fall. I am a bit nervous about buying a used jdm motor, but thats the most reasonable choice. From your experience, where have most of you all bought jdm 2jzgte motors? I want to make sure to buy the motor...

    Intercooler size for a Street Car?

    Im currently debating whether or not I want to go with a 4 inch Thick or 5 inch Thick intercooler for my MKIV. I plan to put down about 900whp for the street on a t4 setup. Is 5 inch worth the added weight and price? Thanks. -Patrick

    Any "cheap" divided manifolds for the 2jzgte?

    true...plus I'll need to run dual wastegate designing to fully benifit with a twin scroll. I think I may just end up using a divided T4 flange on a single scroll manifold. Thanks!

    Any "cheap" divided manifolds for the 2jzgte?

    I'm looking into getting a twin scroll borg warner turbo for my 2jzgte and am having trouble finding a cheap T4 divided manifold. I do not believe SSAC makes a divided manifold for the 2jzgte. Does anyone know where I can find one? I do not believe ebay has them.. -Rick

    Where should I get the swap?

    Thanks guys. I know that a few guys have done the swap with the 2jz or 1jz and there are tons of guys with the LSx motors in there. I've never been a fan of V8's, at least never wanted to own one. I prefer the iron and forged blocks of the JZ motors as well as their aftermarket and potential for...

    Where should I get the swap?

    I understand this is a Supra forum, but I came on here because of the 1jzgte knowledge and information that this board has to offer. Thanks to it's members :icon_bigg. I do not own a supra, but I hope to one day own a 1jzgte. I have this crazy idea (not original, but a rare act nonetheless) of...

    Auto Supra

    Hello, I want to purchase a Supra 2jzgte. I'm afraid I cannot afford a nicely kept TT 6spd 93'-98'. My budget is $24k for a car. I want to find a nicely kept auto car possibly. Any color, just under 115,000 miles. With little problems, if at all. Do auto owners ever convert their...

    1jz auto to R154 swap?

    So my buddy and I are going to build a 1jz swap in a 240sx. We are going to buy it with the automatic tranny since it's cheaper. My buddy, however, really really wants the car to be standard. So I told him that there is a relatively strong R154 tranny. I was wondering what it takes to swap out...

    1jz/gutted 1987 question

    Yeah my buddy told me about the miata with the LSx motor in it. CRAZY! Perhaps I should just go 240 :icon_evil with a 1jz.

    1jz/gutted 1987 question

    I just edited my first post. Why is it that so many GT40 dyno charts show numbers below 500whp and also run only at or under 16psi? My goal is to keep up with modified Cobra's and Corvettes on the highway with no problems! What turbo do you think is right for me?

    1jz/gutted 1987 question

    Oh well that's great! I just hope that without seats or paneling I can get it down to 3300lbs. That's not my main concern, however. My concern is for the stock 1jz to hold up with a stock STi. What are yall's thoughts on this?

    1jz/gutted 1987 question

    Hello! I am curious because I don't know what car to go with. An SR20DET 240sx or a 1jzgte 87 Supra. I was wondering, for comparison interest, how a stock 1jz in a gutted MKIII would do against a, let's say, 2005 STi from a roll? I am also eventually wanting to go with a big single turbo. I...

    1jz stock considerations

    Hello, I plan to go to Grip industries and get a 1jz turn key swap for my N/A 1987 MKIII. I was wondering what all you would do to ensure the longevity of the engine right after th install. Would you perhaps get it tuned? I'm fairly confident I'll use the MAP ECU. BOV? Boost...
