Default 1jz vvti build....flippy dipping finnaly!!!!!

so, i finnaly said the hell with it and started my swap today. Got the old motor out in about 4 hours, but let me tell you, it was a pain in the ***. Heres a few pics, tomorrow I will be romoving the trans off of my old motor which is a w58. The donor car is a 95 SC300 factory 5speed.

I know, I picked up an 01 audi a4 for 500 bucks, needed 4 valves and some head work, just got it runnin, now I got a daily while I'm doin the 1jz, the 1jz vvti is out of a 96-99 soarer, so its pretty much plug and play, just gotta extend the body plugs, waiting on my spec stage 3+ clutch, then I'm gonna drop her in

Took the tranny off, took off the old clutch and flywheel, thank god the flywheel is still in mint condition. Motor mount literally snapped off, so need new mounts now.

Sounds good bro, most likely in a week you'll see her, or you could always come through and help a dude out with the swap....Jus sayin lol, and its the stage 3+, I'm not a fan of puck disk, and the w58 doesn't handle shocks from it
