heading to the shop this weekend, sold the v8 car so i just ordered
-rps stage 3 6puck clutch able to hold 730ftlb trq
-titian motor sport 272 cams (pretty fucking big)
-BC springs and retainers for the bigger cams
-titian motor sport fuel rail kit
-ffwd connections 1050cc injectors

plan for the weekend is to swap oil pans and just put the manual trans on with no clutch for mock up, maybe stick it in the car and start the mock up process

Thread is useless without pics! Lol.

i agree but i havent even seen my car or motor for like a month lol, goin out sunday and ill start snaping some

you should give us a lil explanation of your wiring conversion. ive researched and from my understanding all you gotta do is splice the jz harness with your charging harness and extend the whole thing. is that what you did?

actually i havent even looked into the wiring, theres a guy here in town with a 1jz rx so i was gonna see what he did, all im thinking it intails is just adding the 12v constant, 12v ing, few grounds and what not. thats really all i had to do with my FI 302 swap.

time for pics, 1) what it looked like when i got it, 2) maifolds off, 3) shot of the work area, 4) found enough bolts to secure it to the stand, 5) r154 trans with 1j bellhousing

and more. 1) front sump pan off just checking out the internals, 2) rear sump on, 3,4) just shots of the car. will be working on it all week hopefully. more pics to come

i finished my 1jz swap about 1 year to 2 years ago, i opted the 1jz mainly for ease of install. i talked to scotiegnx on v8rx7 forum and he is a drag car... runs factory hood with some cutting under neath, says he has a 3/4" spacer. i did not want to run spacers so i went ahead with the 1jz. i skipped the factory wiring and just went straight to standalone. I'm very happy with it.

i have a extremely nice 91 shell, that im going to be droping in another 1jz thinking possibly going to try a vvti.

good luck, and enjoy drving it, i've been so happy with everything about the swap. 300 at the wheels bone stock is nice

some parts that came, my pressure plate and disk also came but i had some wrong iformation so i have to send it back cause i got a 7m "full clutch set" just needed the 7m turbo disk not the pressure plate so hopefully the company will let me exchange the pressure plate for the 1j/2j one, luckly im not needing my clutch installed yet lol.

gonna pull the head off tomorrow and have my buddy that works at a engine rebulding shop stick it on the line and have it surfaced for me in exchange for making his raidiator shround for the crx you see in the pics beside my 7. im also gonna be drawing up some prints of the lower intake gasket and maybe the upper as well so i can machine out nice aluminum flanges for the intake manifold im gonna make (trying to copy the hypertune one) cause i dont wanna shell out the 2-3k for one when i can make one for free at work to my specs :)

I've swapped a 2jzgte into a mk3 supra using a 1jzgte flywheel & the 7mgte clutch disc & pressure plate that's the one I used when running the r154 tranny. sweet build btw

thanks, the pressure plate doenst line up with the dowl or bolt holes on the flywheel so im just gonna get the 2j pp, no biggie

sending back the 2j flywheel and getting a 1jflywheel.

heres some pics
i got the front cover and valve covers off but did pull the head off yet..didnt have the right tools.

had the middle tray thats in between the block and the oil pan powdercoated from a local guy that deals with my work

the pic of the tray is to large to upload i guess..sorry

nice build. if i wasnt in the process of puttingmy 13b back in than id probably be saving for a 1j.....or anothe car haha. keep us updated!!

hey thanks man, im also in process of getting my self a 2j na motor to stick in one of the other shells i have for a great dd car, same mount set up so why not.

went out to the shop today after work, had the right tool to take the head bolts out this time so i poped off the head. my roommates gonna try and get it done for me in the next few weeks so ill be at a slight stand still untill it comes back.

whenever u get some mock up pics id like to see it setting in car, and subframe setup im currently getting parts to start my 2j fc build and just trying to figure out clearance adn how hard it would be to make the crossmembers

yeah there will be pics for sure... so fucking ACT will not take the flywheel back so im out a shit ton of money fml. gonna put it on ebay and take a loss i guess

after A LOT of bitching ACT is taking the flywheel back, yay me. im taking suggestions on valve cover colors.

No another 7 is reborn! JZ series motors are the best reliable hp motor for your buck. Hand Down. Conversation over. :egrin:

Good luck with the swap. I've been running my J for 2 years now. been through 2 Different turbo set ups. Your gonna love how the J feels in the FC.

still waiting for the machine at work to be fixed then my head will be done, side note im starting a ford 4.6L swap with PI heads and intake, along with forged pistions. this will be another garage swap.

my heads finially being done....woooo. some more parts that i got, billit 1jz flywheel along with everything that goes in the trans (had no tb, fork, or mounting braket for the fork lol).
some stuff on the way, unorthodox racing cam gears, kevlar timing belt, usdm water pump.


my head should be done by next week and then i can start putting it all back together...or while i have the bottom end exposed should i do a ring job? suggestions welcome

gonna media blast my valve covers at work and add some -10an fittings and have them powder coated black probably, i made the catch can at work just gotta get the fittings and weld it up

It couldn't hurt to re-ring, hone and do the front and rear mains.

hey if you dont mind me asking. what did you pay in all for the motor, trans, ecu, basically all the stock stuffz and none of the aftermarket stuff.. thanks.

$1300 for the motor and it came with uncut wiring harness and auto trans, bought a rear sump oil pan set up for $100, then got a r154 trans with a 1j bellhousing for $500

cp forged pistions, arp rod bolts, and acl bearing kit on the way wooooo
