Hi guys, how much would you estimate a 1jz swap it could if you diy'd? I have no fab skills though.

thanks

I got about 15k/probably more in mine so far and I still got roughly an additional 10k left not including repainting the car and such. I am also not cutting corners and buying quality parts.

1JZ VVTI w/V161 Trans

 

****, thats like $4-5k right there.

 

I've got 10k into mine all diy though, 1jzgte vvti, efr7670, proefi, tr6060 six speed

550 crank on pump with 20 psi at 3500 :P

 

How much would it cost just in labour?

 

Tech2 stuff gets you there the easiest and quickest. They also do the harness or did. For a guy like u with not much diy skills, that's the way I would go and exactly what they made their kits for

 

If you can't diy, don't do an engine conversion. Seriously

 

I'm trying to 1JZ swap on an FC but I'm having difficulty finding where to buy the motor and transmission. Where is everyone buying there's ? I'm building a drift car not a 1000hp monster so I don't need anything crazy. 5speed and a 1J is what I need

 

Can find a complete motor set on ebay

 

Correct except they are automatic trans
