^I remember that thread...wow...memories.

these threads make me want to punch myself in the face.

I wish I had went 2JZ looking back. Sure, I'm 1.5JZ now, but I've spent too much to get there. If I were going to start from scratch, knowing what I do now, I'd just get a 2JZ.

1j if you have some money
2j if you have more money

 

[Troyota]

^Well said.

 

[HamsMKIII]

1j if you have some money
2j if you have more money

For sure... All I have left of my 1JZ is the head and intake manifold. Looking back, spending $3200 on a clip was pretty silly on my part. I wish I had bought an Aristo cut and went from there. You live and you learn though.

i would buy a fully built or brand new 2jz... youll end up spending the money anyway might as well go all out

 

[bigaaron]

The trend around here is to say the 2jz is superior to the 1jz, but in my experience the 1jz is really the best engine for anything but drag racing.

 

[NATAN666]

right.... what makes the 1jz better than the 2jz? thats right, nothing. except maybe cost. i would much rather keep the extra .5 litres

I would answer this question.....if I thought you could comprehend the answer. :biglaugh:
It was a rhetorical question anyways.

 

[JoeC]

the 2jz looks perty(er). :biglaugh: I would much rather spend the extra money just have the perty(er) engine bay.

ok...

just wondering, how many guys in this thread are still 7M?

 

[bigaaron]

these threads make me want to punch myself in the face.

:withstupi :biglaugh:

I got 7m and 1jzeeeeee

 

[rakkasan]

just wondering, how many guys in this thread are still 7M?

The question is, how many people that have 1J's installed are willing to swap in a 7M? :biglaugh:

Model Year:
1988 (MKIII)
Engine:
7MGTE (Turbo)
Transmission:


you don't have either, so your opinion means very little to me. I was never looking to make a super high hp car so what does a 2J do for me that my 1J cant? oh yeah... that's right. nothing... If I wanted to make 500-600hp, I could do it just fine with a 1J.

 

[jtamulis]

I swapped a 7M back into my MKIII after haveing a 1JZ. The previous owner
couldn't get it to run right, and the wiring harness was a complete nightmare
I stuffed a 7M-GTE back in it.

That being said, My ideal MKIII would be a 1988 chassis, 90 tail lights, no wing
and a 2JZ/R154 combo.

 

[The Reaper]

these threads are starting to get really fucking gay

99.9% of the people with 1J's will tell you the 1J is better and the 7M guys are wishy washy

me myself i am going 2J as long as i can keep my Grey on Grey shell if it sells im not getting another fun car until i start and finish school and get a damn good job so i can do everything the RIGHT way and have it look GOOD!!

but as for these threads do whatever the F**K IT IS THAT YOU WANT!! who cares what other people think?

people with 2J's in mkiii's have it the hardest die hard mkiii owners hatem cause its not a true mkiii anymore and mkiv owners usually hate the mkiii either way LOL

so stop these damn threads and do what you feel like doing!!!

put a rotary in it for all i care just do what you want its YOUR CAR!
