Soarer 1JZGTE 5SPD??
so what happened to all the soarer 1jz's?? were they washed away by the tsunami in japan?? i can't find any, mainly just finding supra 1j's anyone know of good sites or places to check out for soarer 1j. or 5spd vvti.
i've been browsing for 3 days looking. maybe i need to look harder i dont know. thanks for the help guys. i haven't checked forums cause people usually dont want to ship and i live in oregon, most peps are in cali or east cost. :uh: |
check out jspec auto in VA and or Zerolift. Both will ship
I got my 1jz (front sump, extended shifter) from jspec auto in VA for my s13 coupe Good luck on your search! |
you just have to look and ask questions. They are out there still.

+1 For Jspec Auto in VA

Thanks for the help guys.. I am asking questions ha! I just been having a hard time. But I appreciate the help
|
I meant ask questions of importers ;) just because they say they have a certain one...doesn't mean they don't have Soarers too
As long as you know the right questions to ask you can determine whether it's the right one or not. |
Inevitably, there will be a day when the JDM 1/2JZ stores are depleted... I don't think we're close to that point yet. (I hope not)
Why not pick up a 1JZ-VVTi instead? They're definitely going to be newer and easier to find. Sure, it's a tiny bit more expensive but you're paying for the fact that the engine should be in better shape than a regular old-school 1J. Wiring has also been figured out for the most part. |
Thanks for the heads up suprahmki, yeah I actually found a company that only had a supra jz listed I called and they have a soarer jz also. So your right! Thanks.
I'd love a vvti but the 5spd is pretty limited out there. But your right it is a couple hundred more but worth it. If I come across a 5spd vvti I will definitely take it into consideration. I'm sure going vvti route I'd have to source a rear sump and extended shifter housing. I have a sc300 by the way. |
You can always reuse your 2JZ-GE oil pan, just drill your own hole for an oil return line.
|
Yeah but my car came with no motor :( thanks though... Are pans for vvti and regular 1jz the same? Reason I ask is cause if I got a reg 1jz and later wanted a vvti could I just swap oil pans? They are prob different but I don't know for sure..
|
Funny enough, my local importer had a front-sump 1jz-vvti no trans for cheaper than a comparable non-vvti 1jz also without a trans. ($100 cheaper asking price)
Role reversal? |
Some engine distributors still price VVTi engines like they did a few years ago when nobody knew how to wire them up... making them virtually useless. At that time, more people bought non-VVTi motors which drove the price of VVTi motors down (or kept them from getting higher).
If you could score a VVTi engine cheaper than a non-VVTi, you should totally jump on it. VVTi motors will become more sought after in the future and non-VVTi motors will take a hit in pricing (this has already been reflected). I think 2JZ VVTi motors, however, are still cheaper than their non-VVTi counterpart. As for the oil pan issue, I believe that non-VVTi oil pans should work with VVTi engines. Don't quote me on that though. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. |
Great info thanks guys!!!
I sourced a supra r154.. Not cheap by any means, but worth it.. So now that the most important aspect of my jz swap is out the way, I gotta source a motor and your right vvti's are dirt cheap |
Don't email Jspec, just call. They rarely respond to emails.
|
Thanks for the help man, I really appreciate it. Keep an eye out for my bn blister soarer build thread.
Cheers!! |
