Well yesterday my motor took a crap on my due to #4 cylinder failed. I had gas all through intake I dont know how, but now I am getting ready for the 1jzgte route.

The reason im going 1jz is because my cash is nit that high and being a single father of two boys and helping my family I am going with the 1jzgte.

So far I have started tearing apart the 2jzge and when I take apart the motor I will see how bad the block is. I will be updating this thread as I continue so wish me luck!

 

damn good luck dude...

im on the same boat as u... it was my interior fully redone or my daughter wanting a horse.. lol yea i got her the horse.

1jz runs great. u wont need anything else.

 

Thanks man I hope to have the car up by the end of july! Here is a couple of pics of my car.



And so far what I did so far I got most of the wiring harness undone and readt to pull, than I hope by the weekend I should have the engine and tranny out.

 

Do you have the 1JZ engine ready to put on?

 

damn great start. the car is beautiful. cnt wait to see the progress. gl

 

1Jz is a great motor. my swap has been great so far. miss the instant torque of the v8, but once in boost, never look back. good luck

 

Doing the same swap now and heard its a lot of fun when in boost. GL

 

good luck. i really like that first pic for some reason

 

First off mad respect for being a single father, especially raising two lil men! Second, helping family-Not only are you helping your family, but you're continuing teachings for your kiddeos! 1JZ are awesome, and you will not be dissappointed! Good luck, and keep us posted!

sorry to hear about that motor ... that 1jz swap will be awesome !

 

look for pitting on the block between coolant ports and pistons in that are is where i found the ge needed too much work to keep.

 

good luck with the swap! i love the blue wheels on the dwp

 

Thanks guysm the first pic I took a day before the motor let go. I didnt get too much done today on the car cause I got off late. But tomorrow I hope to pull the motor out and clean the dirty engine bay.

 

Well my bro was out of town so he couldnt bring me the engine hoist so that put me on hold again.

So far I just been pulling the harness thru the firewall so it will be ready, and did a little cleaning to the enigne bay.

Also if I was to get a supra 1jz how much more wiring is there to do?
