Hi guys, I'm looking at a FD roller right now. Its a 93 auto with 83,000 and a blow motor. I was wondering if anyone around the Houston area rebuilt these motors, and how much would you change me for parts and labor. Thanks

Below are a few pics.

 

And the owner said that one of the rotors has no compression.

 

I am one of the Houston re builders, my motors are all around, and haven't had any problems with them.

There are a number of people on here that will give you info on me.

If you can, come to the next Rx club Meeting and we can talk about it. I have a pretty fast turn around.

 

I have a JDM motor $1000 if you want it

 

I was also told that I should look into doing a 1jz or a LS1 swap???

 

ill get back to u

 

when and where are the RX's club meet?

 

Ok, I so i think would want to do a 1JZ or a LS1 swap if I do get the roller. Please PM, email or IM with a price for parts and labor. Thank you

But if your pockets are lean, forget it!

There is going to be alot of people to talk you out of the swap side of it.

You can check out my Monster of a Car.

 

i see, maybe a 1jz swap then

 

i see, thanks man. this wouldnt be the 1st FD i own. had two of them before. i miss them

 

Well I guess im going with a 1jz. Has anyone here done it before? Please help, thanks again.

 

a 1jz and 2 jz are about the same as far as installing them, the mounting kit is prety much the same on both engines. the hardest part is getting all the plumbing done, your going to need an different intetrcooler, piping, radiator, hoses, fuel lines, ect.

 

i see, so u have to have a mounting kit. thanks man, ill let u know.

 

the mounting kit includes the subframe, motor mounts, transmission mounts, drive shaft, and hardware. might also be a good idea to change your rear diff

 

alright i see, thanks man.

 

To do the Toyota engine swap and do it correctly will still be expensive.
Maybe more than the LS1 since parts will be more expensive.

Best you talk with people who have done swaps. Best way to save on money is do the work yourself.

 

i see, anyone here done the JZ swap before?

 

I have only seen one online, so there you go.
I have seen many LS1 swaps, and there is even a expert in Houston on that.

 

oh yeah, that must be this one http://houston.craigslist.org/car/769631605.html

did you buy it?

 

im still waiting for the guy to take my offer.

 

Don't mean to ***** my own thread. But to the guy with the Red RX-7 and the girl with the Black Celica, if y'all still have my hat please hang on to it for me. It was a gift and means alot to me, Thanks.

 

lol, was is a FD or FC? They might not be on here...

 

He has a red FD, he said he saw my thread and hes also a member here on and H-I.
