hi, im going to be doing a 1jz swap in my sc300, and i was wondering which 1jz front clips would fit in my sc, becuase i have heard that some come with the oil pan in the front and some in the back, so which clip should i get beside the soarer front clip. would the mkIII FIT.?

 

I would recommend you swap in a 2jz instead of the 1jz. The 2jz has more horsepower and is more current. More market for upgrade. Thats my opinion.

 

yeah, but the swap costs 2 much money, and 2 much of a hassle. and alot of people have a 2jz swap, i want something different.

 

Hmmm if you want something different, here are some options...

LS1
RB26DETT
20B
SR20DET w/ major turbo upgrade

 

naw notin that crazy, with those swaps i wouldnt even know where to start, but after this im putin a 1jz in a 240

 

How come you don't want the front clips from a Soarer? Wouldn't that be easier to fit than any other 1JZ powered car (MkII, Chaser, JZA70 Supra etc...)??

 

im actually looking for a soarer clip, i was just askin just in case in dont find one.

 

i did my 1JZ swap based off of a soarer.

 

how fast is ur car runing with the 1jz swap, and what else did u need beside the front clip to complete the swap

 

I'd be thinking that Soarer front clips are pretty easy to find... I went to visit some import dismantlers today here in Sydney (irrelevant, but still...) and I saw as many as 4 in one wrecker, all 1JZ's... trust me I haven't seen that many front clips at one wrecker at in one visit.

 

there is a clip on ebay for 2K

 

yeah, but its not a soarer clip

 

there are a couple reasons you should buy a soarer clip, the oil pan is different from a jza70 supra to the soarer, as well as different intercooler piping, ecu, wiring harness, power steering, radiator, fan shroud, basically everything about the clip is different. I have done the 1jz swap on my supra which took a little over a week. Im interesting in finding more about the sc300 because im going to sell my supr to get a 1jz soarer. ohh, for the transmission, if you wanted to go 5speed, im guessing you would only need a bell housing from a mkiv n/a tranny. you can use any transmission from the n/a or turbo r154 or w58 transmissions.

 

The oil pan from a supra and soarer are the same intercooler is different and for all that say you can't
make big hp with a 1jzgte there is a supra inSFL making 4digit hp at the wheels.

 

You can put any trans in there that you want, such as the W58, R154, and the GETRAG(V160?). If you want the R154 which is a very strong trans, just get it out of a 7MGTE supra. Most likely youll have to get a rebuild on it due to age, but a rebuilt R154 is still worth it unless youre going for monster HP numbers. The bellhousings are the same between the 7m, 1jz, 2jz but you will most likely have to get a custom driveshaft made if you want anything but the W58. You may be able to find the driveshaft from a MT Soarer TT, but i wouldnt count on it.
