Why 1jz instead of a 2jz? Also on that note there are a total of 2-3 supras on island in which only 1 of them is actually kind of running. So its very hard to get a complete motor on island. And there is also no dyno.... |
Damn sucks!!!!
Im goin to do the 1jz swap Just b cuz is alil smaller then the 2j tha will give a lil more room for the hood... |

Engine Swapping on Guam??????
Most of us who do these swaps have the convenience of numerous parts stores, salvage yards, and here in Seattle, at least a half dozen Japanese engine importers. It will certainly take some inventiveness and improvising skills to do it so far away from mainstream automotive mania ( i.e., California). You get extra points for tackling this job under challenging circumstances!
My father was a civilian working for the Air Force, and was chief planning engineer for Anderson AFB. He started with the wartime Quonset huts in about 1950, and when he died in 1966, the Air Force had more money invested in Anderson than any air base in the world. I spent my summers there starting in 1954, when I was 16 years old, got my first drivers license on Guam. I drove around the island in my father's 1948 Studebaker. By about 1956 it had rusted to the point it was just scrap. Virtually all of the WWII jeeps were dissolved to rust by the early 1950s. People who have not lived there cannot appreciate the corrosion problems you have to deal with. I recently did a Skyline swap into a 1984 RX-7, but I can't imagine doing it in the middle of the Pacific! Some photos here: https://www.rx7club.com/nw-rx-7-forum-33/next-project-982785/ |

Some photos here: https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=982785 Thanks for the brownie points!!! Im glad someone can understand the amount of work and corrosion control being put into this build. It must have been completely different for you and your father to be here back then. Its somewhat different now, well at least they dont have those huts. But Andersen is definitely growing in so many ways. Your swap looks phenomenal! I wish i knew how to fabricate... One step at a time. First im learning how to paint. More on that after i complete my catch can with gunmetal ;) Starting to sand my bumper for the car paint. This will be my second test in car painting. http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k5...6/33cef119.jpg ALMOST THERE!! http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k5...6/56ad6836.jpg Ahhhh just need the bottom part finished then its time to paint it. http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k5...6/556dd7bb.jpg They say painting is VERY easy. Its the prep time that is the most difficult. So i want to take my time with everything on painting. I already lost my patience with my catch can....yup 3rd time is the charm |
Had some time to work on my catch can. I didnt like the color so im painting it to gunmetal, its primered right now and will be awaiting its new paint later today*

Catch Can
1 Attachment(s)
If you looked at my Cardomain pages, you saw the Stiletto project. Well, since you are working on your catch can, I thought you would like to see the one I used on the Stiletto. I thought that since the motor is Kawasaki, I should use a Japanese catch can.
