Furious But Lazy 7M owner who gave Up.

[Turbo Habanero]

So as many of you know me and my struggles with my 7M after my last BHG i decided to go a different route and picked up a 1jz and this is where ill begin this thread.


The last time my 7M drove under it's own power

My 7m at the end

My 7m Now

Here's photo's of the new start and i have my work cut out for me

The Turbo i have to use not sure if i'm gonna stick with it.

As of right now i need to gather is

R154 Bell housing
R154 flywheel
Igniter
timing cover
Power steering pump

I'm sure there's plenty more but for now he we back into the Money pit i mean Supra Game

Looked like u had a very clean 7M. I was confused to why you were trying to pull the head off if you're pulling the motor anyway? Why is it on a flat bed? Going to the shop where its getting the swap done i assume? And the pics of the 1jz...hanging backward in an engine bay confused me even more haha.

 

[dmp316]

You had a very nice setup on the 7M Jordan. Strange you got a BHG. I look forward to your 1Z build

 

[DOUBL3 D]

I will be following your build closely as I will ne doing the same swap in the near future

Thankyou

I was confused to why you were trying to pull the head off if you're pulling the motor anyway?

I was taking the parts off and Selling them i was going to sell the Head also.

Why is it on a flat bed? Going to the shop where its getting the swap done i assume?

The car blew the head gasket about 20miles from my home at 5am Sunday Morning 8-5-12 after a long Saturday night as soon as i saw the white smoke i pulled over into that parking lot where i had the car towed home.

And the pics of the 1jz...hanging backward in an engine bay confused me even more haha.

If you look Close you can see that the car the engine is hanging over is not a Toyota but a Nissan This is what the original owner of the engine had plans for and how the motor was when i picked it up.

Not so strange i beat the hell out of my car and had a composite head gasket.

Thanks for the compliment

I've seen Andy's walk throughs they cover pretty much everything down to a tee. I still need to decide if I'm going to go ahead and do the swap with stock twins and ecu or (preferably) save up some more mula and go big single and standalone.

if you can get rid of the twins when the motor is out of the car i'd go for it because once there in it's a PITA ill be running a stock ecu for awhile with my single.
