Hey guys and girls. I'm new to this forum and have some questions about whether or not I should go throught the trouble of upgrading my mk3 to a 1.5jz or just rebuild the stock 1jz.
Here's the problem. The 1jz that's in the car now started knocking badly this last summer so I shut it down and parked it in my shop. I have a 2jz from an aristo I had that was involved in an accident but "looks" like it still in decent condition. The 1jz has already been upgraded a bit and here's a list of the upgrades.
Engine:
-Apexi IHI C7 Turbo (62mm inducer)
-Trust Manifold (single scroll T4 flange)
-Trust Type R Wastegate with 7-10psi spring
-Jun 272 exhaust cam, Jun 264 intake cam (3500km)
-Jun Cam Gears
-Greddy 4 bolt downpipe
-Custom 3" exhaust
-Custom 3 inch intake with cone filter
-ARC Intercooler with 2.5" endtanks and dimensions 18x12x4 with 2.5" piping
-HKS SSQV BOV
-Kenne Belle Boost a Spark
-Custom catch can with -10AN fittings and stainless line
-Custom Dual Feed fuel rail. -6AN inlet and outlet. The fuel inlets are fed to a Y and go to a -8AN fitting. The -8 line is fed to an external Bosch 044 fuel pump. All the lines are stainless. I used the factory feed and return lines that go from the tank to the front of the car.
-Aeromotive FPR with gauge
-MK4 550cc injectors are currently installed.
-Devils Own Methanol Injection Kit. I got the Diesel Stage 1 kit. Includes 5,10,14gph nozzles and a Y to run dual nozzles if needed. I currectly have the 14gph nozzle connected running a 50/50 mix. The injection system is activated via my Standalone EMS and I used the stock windshield washer tank as the reservoir.
-Stinger Standalone EMS with plug and play harness for the JZA70
-Hallman Pro Manual Boost Controller
Drivetrain/Suspension:
-HPF Feramic clutch with ACT pressure plate
-Custom solid engine mounts
-C's short shifter with Marlin Crawler bushings and TRD shift knob
-Unknown aftermarket LSD
-Stance GR+ Coilovers (5000km)
-Front and Rear Strut Bars
-Doward BBK adapters with KVR Mustang Cobra Brake Package. Front brakes are 13" slotted with 2 Piston PBR Calibers and KVR Ceramic Pads with Stainless steel lines. Rear brakes are stock with Ceramic pads and Stainless steel lines.
I would love to have a TH350 or 400 tranny in there too, it currently has the R154. I also want a 1 piece driveshaft.
Anyways computers and posting pics are not my strong suit, but if anyone has any info they can give me it would be more than I have at the moment. What headgasket I would need pistons and rod combos ect.....
Thanks, Zach from Alberta.
