Oil cooler is a setrab I got off ebay for $60
Stock ecu
Stock shifter extension - trans is from an MKIV N/A Supra

 

the MKIV N/A supra extension works? Nice. I thought the later model chaser extension was the only one that would. Is it the same USDM and JDM N/A extension, or special only on one or the other do you know?

another question, will the stock t2 FC fuel pump be enough for a stock 1jz or no? also fuel lines, whats going on there, I assume the stock lines won't reach at all.

 

You can buy cheap fuel return lines by the foot at Driftmotion.com. So many things for the swap you can get there. I would just get a supra or walbro 255 but I bet the T2 would be enough for stock injectors.

 

Ya, I may just use the supra pump. I'll just be stock GTE for a while on the stock ECU. But to be on the safe side, it couldn't hurt. I have been on and off reading about 1jz swaps and re reading threads lately. I get pumped sometimes, my rotary is dying a slow low compression death with a small oil control ring crack. But funds. my daily 2.5rs impreza took a hit. replaced a motor and then that motor blew a head gasket 10k miles later. pissed. rebuilt that then snapped a spring cuz my stock struts were almost gone. new suspension. wouldn't you know it after that I had an oil leak I thought was cam seal but now seems like its a head gasket issue since I have some loss of power. AND its a lame auto and that trans is slipping. all my money went into my daily, and not even for anything cool. lame.

sorry bout that, just really thinking of pulling a loan and getting the 1jz done. tired of waiting. I want the hottness NOW lol.

 

It's a slow build. Mine will have taken 3-4 months and I'm not even sure I'll be done. (That being said, I don't have my own garage to do it in and I am not cutting corners).

After have gotten half way, I miss the rotary, I REALLY do. It would have been much easier to put in a Turbo II (almost the same cost after having a JDM one rebuilt to spec). That being said, I do not regret putting the JZ in. I still have to do wiring, various hoses, cutting for intercooler, custom clutch line, shifter extension, driveshaft, etc.

I also did a T2 rear end conversion as well, so that made this project a little more lengthy for me.

 

This mamasan is just hanging out, ready to shred. Hopefully soon.

 

This sweet princess found a new home in Arizona. The owner is a friend of mine and has plenty of disposable income to finish her up the way she deserves. I'm happy to help anyone who's curious about the swap. The biggest obstacle in this whole ordeal is finding a transmission or coughing up the money to do a Z33.

Anyway, onward and upward. I think next round I am going to stay rotary.
