wont clear the hood at all :P

jdm gte motors aren't too much, i got mine for my supra for 2400

but yeah i've seen 2jzges for 700 full swaps with the w58 trans!

 

I still think the 1jz is the best deal, 2100 to my door with the bullet proof r154 trans, harness ecu ect

 

stock fc rad?? just with modified mounting?

 

Yeah and custom fans... no problems yet (in sacramento 100* heat and traffic too)

 

BASELINE DYNO DONE!

Dynoed the car today. Exhaust is ultra restrictive stock downpipe mated to a 2.5inch cat and full stock rx7 exhaust... lol. Quieter than a funeral but sooo restrictive!

Even so did pretty well for stock boost.

put down best of 232whp and 260ft lbs. Boost peaking at 11 psi, quickly dropping to 8.5-9

Will post graphs tomorrow... need to sleep now!

 

 

here's a video

arriving in the mail today:





supra guys highly recommend this one... can't wait

 

dyno and post up numbers, or tell us if it makes a big difference i made 272 with a bad tune, 11 psi. stock DP with a cat-back n1 exhaust.

 

I'm interested in this! More pics!

 

Put the ypipe and down pipe on. Still on stock cat back lol.

huge power gains, feels like +20whp. First gear just spins now. Boost peaks a little higher.


Install was a major pain in the ***. Took all ******* day...

 

btw it fits great on the rx7 chassis. Like it was meant to be!

 

> What part of Sac are you from?

 

elk grove


PAIN IN THE ***

 

I rather see a 1jz thene see a v8 in it...

 

so i caught your ad on craigslist the other day, just curious to know if you got any offers. Also why the thought of selling it?

 

I have a mkiv supra i'd like to finish. Too many projects not enough cash/time

 

not wishing this on you at all, but if you get to the point of parting out, please lemme know, i will buy most of your engine bay (was planning on possibly doing a 2jz, but do to the clearence issues im really leaning on a 1j swap)

 

Over all how long did you spend on this swap?

 

Only took me 5-6 serious days of work to get it driving. Since then another 40-50 hours making everything work perfectly.

Probably 100 hours total now or more with the y-pipe and the work i did with the interior back when i started

 

> How much fab did you have to deal with to work that motor? My FC's RHD and I'm curious to know what kind of headaches you ran into dropping in the motor.

 

As long as you can cut, weld, wire, and measure you can do this swap.

biggest pain was extending the wiring harness... just took forever and of course it has to be perfect. I extended it too far, I recommend only bout 2 feet or less not 3.5 feet lol...

I took my time on it and soldered and heat shrunk every wire. I also color matched the wires from another junk harness i had so it took ALL day. About 7-8 hours. It would be very easy to run the ecu in the engine bay, but I hate that so I took the time.


The mounts were pretty easy. I went over how I made them already. I recommend at least 1/4 inch mild steel, I used 5/16ths mild steal and mig welded everything

 

> Good to go, my peeps up back in Sac figures as much. BTW, do you know a dude that looks like Jesus named Brian Vester? Says he knows you and was planning to pick your brain more on the swap.

 

Who? lol... seems like people always know me but i don't know them

 

> I'm pretty sure you'd recognize him if you saw him. He's about the only person I know around Sac who a) works on cars and b) has grown a Jesus-like beard.
