turbospeedmazda..
i have a spare 1j vvti ecu if you want it. got it with my non vvti motor. it DOES work nd its in good condition...
anyways....

 

Video or ban!!!

what are the specs on the wheels?

 

lol no video yet. once i get all my guages in im taking it back to the shop and were finishing it all in one day so after then.

fn's 17x10 all around. front +17 (25 but 8mm spacers.)
rear +5 (15 but 10mm spacers)

 

beautiful swap. ill let you kno about the ecu.. as far as i know so far mines the right one for me.. 5spd 1jz vvti ecu

 

I am indeed lucky, but I'll probly be back in Hawaii next year and idk if im going to ship the 1J FC or not. If someone really wanted it id probly sell so I wouldnt have to spend $800-1000 to ship it to the islands, but we'll see

 

i guess sketchhs and/or fstbackgt could answer this: i remember reading your build thread but i cant recall what you did with the hood (i remember that you had clearance issues), did you cut it out or what?? just curious

 

sketch cut it...looks good though

 

hey thats not bad at all!! coud you post some engine bay pics?? thanks

 

 

great thread...good info... notes taken.

 

hot damn that makes me wanna entertain the thought of doing this swap on my own fc again just when im abt to get my rebuilt 13b back....thanks!

 

god damn i miss that car!

 

trade me for the z once it has its 1j swap,

 

Tempting but I like the smog exempt Z for cali

How is she running these days?

Did you ever change the exhaust?

Relocate the battery!

 

still runs good. those 2 are on top of my list after new rad. she gets pretty hot on the drive from phoenix to flagstaff. the thing is im moving back to hawaii in june and idk if im going to take the 7 with me or sell it and buy a car on island as shipping is $800-$1000. we'll see.

 

Yeah, that stock radiator is a little worn and small, plus the fans may not be enough with the FMIC in AZ heat.

 

hey got a question about fitment of a big single turbo on my 1j , did either of you guys have a problem with space, cuz i just bought a gt47r. by the way those 5zigen rims look amazing on the fc!

 

Just landed a full Mishimoto sponsorship for the built, they just want a lil cread since they supplied the rad, fmic, oil cooler, oil catch can, and fans oh and hoses. But it looks like you guys kept the oem rad, Tech2 recommended I use the one from a MkIV supra, for cooling purposes, have anyone heard of that before, i figured my koyo for the 13b was sufficient since the 13b runs so much hotter. anyone?

 

koyo 13b rad should be fine. if i had the room for it thats what id be doing, but im going to have to put an s13 ka24 or r32 skyline rad since there much shorter and have both rad hoses on the passenger side, same as the s4 stock rad.

 

just noticed your from the 808, what island? im moving back to oahu in 3-4 months and im hopefully bringing the 1j FC with me

 

Yeah bruhhhhhh!!!! I live on Oahu, Kaneohe side, right off of Kahakili, you know the temple valley area? I was reading about you moving back and i was telling my self that you should ship the fc, only 1000, i dont think i could part ways. Especially since they're are building new race tracks on Sand Island, Drag, Drift, And Time Attack.
Hope to see you around when you return. I cant wait to get back myself, I'm in Japan right now.

 

at this point its lookin like an 80% chance ill be keepin the FC, pretty much the only way ill part with it is if I get a clean 1st gen celica coupe + cash for trade cause i really want one to do a 4ag 20v swap on one. love that itb sound

 

jzx7, r u building the fc in japan?

 

i realize that this is a bit off topic, but i dont believe anyone has posed this question before (altho im sure im wrong abt that).....has anyone ever thought of or heard of a possible 1G-GTE (toyota 2L I6) swap?? just curious

 

with the existence of more modern engines it really doesnt make sense to swap the 1g. A 1J can handle ALOT more power and is overall a much better engine seeing as it replaced the 1G and was designed a full decade later. one toyota swap i really want to see in a 7 is a 1uz, possibly supercharged .
