Ahaha, Whoops. Hopefully this will inspire an update lol

Has the new intercooler setup arrived yet?

Before you do anything to this car you should stop.. And sell it to me :biglaugh: 2jz valves, can they be swapped into a 7m?

All turbo motors used 440 low impedance injectors. Non turbo cars came with 305 low impedance (like my car) or 315 high impedence injectors on 89+ cars. So unless you're using a non-turbo 89+ ecu you'll have to follow figgie's instructions and delete the resistor box in order to get them to...

Lol much better. Can't wait to see this thing all back together. I want to see how the blacked out intake manifold looks.

lol I figured you would. Ever think about getting checked for OCD?

Nice work with the banjo fitting. I'm surprised you didn't polish the fuel rail or something.

If you don't want it, I'll take it. Just finish rebuiling it first :evil2:

Basically, you'll end up with a complicated 1J. The typical 1.5JZ uses the the head and wiring of a 1J and the extra cc's of the 2J block. All the wiring and everything plugs right in making it a simple plug and play ordeal. If you're not afraid of a bit of wiring and possibly some fabrication...

Cool stuff man, can't wait to see how it turns out. What kind of power do those cars have originally?

With your limited budget I would stick with the 7M. Get yourself a complete 7MGTE for around $1000, all the upgrades I mentioned above will be just under $1000 and your transmission swap (with a new clutch) will be yet another $1000. If you have anything leftover change the head gasket and do...

Pretty sure that's just frost. The targa is a different color witch makes me wonder what happened to the original. But if the body is good and the interior is ok I would make an offer.

It's really going to come down to a personal preference. Each motor has its pros and cons. If you go with the 7M I would try and pick a turbo block (preferably from an 87-88 for simplicity). It benefits from having oil squirters that help keep the pistons cool. Being a half litre bigger the...

1jz block and 2j head would still be 2.5L, you're not getting any extra displacement but you are getting a head that flows slightly better.

But you never know. I find the dip stick in my car comes loose all the time. I've done a compression test and found everything was good @ 140-160 (this was on a cold engine, it would probably be closer together if it was tested when at temperature).

It seems odd that it would shoot the dipstick tube out. I'd do a compression check before firing it up again. There is a chance you're getting blow by and pressurizing the crankcase.

Check in the spare tire well for water/rust. Also, bring a weak fridge magnet and run it over the fenders. If it sticks you're good, if it doesn't there is bondo so RUN AWAY!!

Doh! Some how I thought this was the first page of your build not the fifth.. ::dunce::

Looks good man. Did you powder coat or paint them?
