I went out and washed it by hand today. Couldn't stand looking at it anymore.
Not so bad with a bucket and a towel to work with. I live in a apartment so I don't have a hose to work with. Took 2 and a half hours but oh well
I've come to learn and see that this is not true.
I have a 89+ car made closer to 1990 year and it has square mounts but has the harness with grey plug style.
A good friend o mine also has a 89+ closer to a 1990 with round mounts but has the yellow plug ecu style.
So from what I've seen thus...
Ok got ya.
If you have a round mount style 89+ then yes a 1jz from a jza70 will drop right in.
If its a 1jz with a front sump like a chaser the sump and oil pan and motor mount brackets will need to be changed.
Also things like
Oil dipstick
Pick up tube
Baffle and some others I'm spacing...
Why not just stay 1jz ? It is just reliable as a 2jz it just does not have the displacement but can easily support 500whp
But to answer your question the 2jz will swap in but you'll need a harness and ecu and to bang the firewall n a little to fit the stock twins turbo setup. But if you go...
Oh and to answer the other question about the 7M head it's really not so bad for power it's the head gasket and torque specs that become the problem.
500whp is achievable with the stock head.
Recommend the block and head get machined to spec for a MHG and using arp head studs.
After that...
I fell under this category. I tried and failed multiple times with the 7M.
I went with a 1jz and failed there too lol.
So moral of the story it's all in the owner and the knowledge and I might add patience lots of patience.
So not sure how long the project will be delayed at this point.
Plan is to find the energy to pull this motor strip it down and take it to another shop or Albert to go through it and prey nothing is damaged.
Basically start over..
