Great looking car

Welcome to the forums. Donate that bumper and hood to your local salvage yard :)

:bsflag:

This is the same one that Grimsta (Zankoku Performance) sells here in the vendor section. It comes with a mounting bracket and it is supposed to fit without any cutting or modification to front supports or brackets. I am not getting the pipes or BOV. I am just getting the intercooler and...

The public admission that you are a self-attacking terrorist. Nice Ian :icon_eek:

For anyone that is curious, I spoke with Ty at IPT today on the A340E rebuilds they offer. He told me that my setup (2JZ-GTE, 67mm turbo @17-18psi on a street tune) with agressive street driving and a few weekends at the track mixed in would not come close to stressing their tranny. He said...

I would say your time here at SM just ended saying that to two well respected members not to mention they are both mods. Thanks for playing and cya....

Thanks Justin....I will PM him. My only concern would be the ABS in the MKIII. I would like to keep it if possible and I am sure the Aristo/GS300 has rear sensors.

No one has put a domestic A340E to a 1J/2J block?

Jay, If you are setting the car up for drag racing (i.e. coilovers vs stock suspension), why aren't you going automatic? I bet you would drop into the high 10's or low 11's.

I am strongly thinking of converting my 5 speed to auto. I found, via search, that the 1JZ and 2JZGE share the same bell housing according to Jeff Lange. This makes sourcing a bell housing for the A340E easy. However, I am unsure about the flywheel and torque convertor. What do I need to get...

Why would the auto need a rebuild? Run a good cooler and keep the fluids fresh and it shouldnt need a rebuild. I don't know much about the rebuilt Toyota trannies but a TH-350 can take a ton of abuse and last a VERY long time. Granted a TH-350 cant handle 900 ft/lbs but I would have to see a...

Seems high to me. I was going to post the 7MGTE that is in the supra that I just bought for $300.

Yep......$1700 for a single clutch. How many clutches will you go through in the lifetime of your car with 550 rwhp under "spirited" driving? Total cost of ownership of an auto is much cheaper. Yes, it is more expensive upfront but a properly built auto with proper cooling will last a very...

Does anyone make a 2J adaptor plate for this trans?

Thanks jdub. That price is actually not bad. Much cheaper than replacing twin or triple disk clutches in a manual.

Is there anyone who rebuilds the stock auto? I would like to ditch the R154 in favor of an auto. I was assuming the only option is the T350. I love that tranny but the overdrive unit for them is almosk 3k alone. That would put me in the ballpark of 5-6k when done with the swap. I would love...

I agree Jay, they are not for everyone. There are problems with the JZ line as well. The 1J has problems with the twins blowing seals, eating exhaust blades, and problematic ECU's (capacitors). The US 2J has the lean spot on the OBDI ECU's and the ceramic blades on the Aristo twins don't...

Go 1J or 2J and be done with it. The initial cost to do the swap is a bit more, but it is well worth it if you plan to keep the car for any length of time. I have been on this forum for nearly five years, and I can’t begin to count the number of threads on 7M rod knock and BHGs. Thread...

Even from a reputable place, it is good to pull it apart and check it. The Aristo motor I got came from JHOT, which is one of the better dealers and it had problems. When we pulled the head, several of the water passages were completely blocked with crud. It was easy to fix, but it probably...
