Awesome, that's all i really need, as long as i can take a peek. Anything would help at this point. I hate to rush this project. i'm just crammed for time right now. Thanks for offering the assistance

 

That's ****** sexy...

Mebbe Santa'll gimme one for the King of the Jews' birthday.

 

well i finished my mounts yesterday, here are a few photos.

 

Those look alot like what I came up with in my FC.

I just finished my wiring last night and started it up for the first time. Came to life on the second crank of the starter.

 

heres some motivation http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5GIXWmFgj0

 

ahh i hate wiring, definitely not my strong point any tips would helpful....... i even have the supra fuse box, do i use that one or the mazda fuse box

 

OWWW thats sexy bro!!

 

I ran all new relays and fuses. I dont trust old factory wiring.

 

wow. That is some incentive. I have an FC that needs serious lovin'. The motor is out and I was open to all power options. i think I've found my swap plan. Thats the monster I'm looking for.

 

I recalibrated my tach and got the factory 1jz water temp sensor to read on my cluster the other night. My next step is to get the factory oil pressure gauge to work using a new fc pressure sensor.

Things are coming along nicely now, hoping to take it for a test drive this sunday.

 

My 1jz fc is running and driving! Unfortunately my ecu has 3 leaking capacitors Even with ridiculous overfueling, missfiring, and a high idle it hauls ***. Chirps 235's into third gear. I'm going to try my power fc tommorow night and see how that works ( Has a 335whp tune on it)

 

Heres a quick video of mine:



280whp, 305wtq (all between 4-5K) boost wont hold after that.

 

^nice vid. think you could add some pics of your engine bay?

 

Just some old ones:





Am I the first 1j fc in Canada?

 

nice. was hoping for some with the IC piping installed, i need to reroute mine eventually and wanted to see how yours are set up

 

I'm really glad to see this project is coming together, as easily as it is.

This doesn't sound much like a conventional swap, so anything that goes without a hitch is awesome!

 

Imma be goin with a jz swap...not sure if I want a 1 or 2j. Good info on these pages. Probly go with a 1.5jz but we'll c. Fukn stoked!!!

 

1.5jz ftw....

 

I've heard some really great numbers come out of 1-5J builds. When's that supposed to get underway?

 

when my 1j bottom end blows, a 2j is going into its place. Either the mounts or the hood are going to have to be adjusted to fit though

 

i know im wicked late to the thread, and the topic. BUT.

i am also interested in doing this swap. is there a huge massive right up anywhere or wiring diagrams, or any information that would be helpful at all out there?
Thanks
Ed

 

where's everyone?!

 

Check the link in my signature, I've beat ( as well as JTP and Dan and Martin of PSM) on my 1jz Fc pretty damn hard. With video!

 

I COMMAND THIS THREAD TO ARIIIIIIISE!

we need a really good wiring writeup for the 1jz swap. I recall sketch's build thread had some issue with the injectors not firing and he "bypassed" some stuff to get it running. we should have an appropriate wiring guide (diagram if possible but a tutorial too maybe). If I ever get to doing my 1jz swap I will write up my wiring but I'm no electrician. that might take years for me to get that far though idk.

Also, can anyone with the 1jz installed with tech 2's swap kit measure how far down the back side of the highest point on the valve cover is on the firewall? like from top of firewall to where the top of engine is. That way I can see when I make mounts if its sitting as low as it can go. I haven't heard anything of the trans mount so it seems that bolts right up with no issue or need to modify.
