1JZ Swap? Worth it?

[Ric]

Yeah, I havn't seen any 1JZ run good on an emanage. In fact, I havnt see any car in history run good on one.

Cheapest option to run 30psi on a 1JZ is the MAP ECU. Thats proven on 2JZ's to around 900whp.

yea i got the emanage blue and e-01 and it works perfectly. the emanage ultimate is what has A LOT of problems.

Gotcha. What boost can you run on one? Still limited to the 18.5 stock map sensor or does it have its own?

still limited to the stock MAP. i will up grade the map later when i go single

right now with the BC set to Off i still hit 15psi on occasions so i dont really need to run more than that on stock twins LOL

but you can get the injector harness and ignition harness and then you can control Timing and Injector duty. i will get those later on too they are 50 a piece usually

Not bad, I wonder if that works better then a apexi SITC

not too sure i've heard good things about the SITC. you dont hear much about the Emanage Blue tho

Alot of the guys on SoarerCentral swear by the SITC on the 1JZ, I was thinking about picking one up. Then again, for the price of a SITC and MAP ECU 1, I can just get a MAP ECU 2 that controls ign.

hahaha yea most people dont look at it that way...

Man, you guys can jack a thread like no one else.

OP- the Osaka motor looks like it needs a 1JZ bellhousing & flywheel, ps reservoir, ps lines, intercooler and piping, hydrofan set up or electric fans or 2JZ water pump set up, radiator & hoses, throttle cable (you can get these from a certain year Camry and 2JZs, Camry's cable reportedly fits perfectly. Check the sticked swap info page for more information about that, as I don't remember what year Camry it was), timing belt could be GReddy from Driftmotion or one out of an old Isuzu Trooper (I want to say 86 but I'm not sure. Again, check the sticked page).

I may have missed something but that looks like its it.

EDIT: First line was said jokingly

you can use the PS res out of a 90 Honda Civic thats what i did works perfectly and we mounted it with the factory Honda bracket on the Strut tower bolts on the Intake mani side and it looks stocK!!

You stoles my idea!! I used one out of a 90s honda accord with an F22. I had to flip the bracket around, and it mounted perfect to the OEM SC300 remote tank bolt on my old 1993 SC300 that I sold. Total cost was $5 at a junkyard.

 

[The Reaper]

HAHAHAHA i got the sameone LOLOL

my cost was free

the PS pump froze on my DD Civic and it hasn't had PS in like 5 years or something, but it weighs like 5 lbs so i dont need PSing. so Tissimo and i just stole it off the honda cleaned it and BAM it works LOL.

we used an NA 7M PS res for the Hydrofan Fluid

ok im on track

Hell YES any JZ engine in a mkiii is worth it! dont get all wrapped up into the 2JZ unless you love wiring want more then 700whp

just get a jza70 clip from arron for 2500 do the swap new oil bic mounts if you need and drive it. it could be done in less then 1-2 weeks tops after you do 1-2 swaps.

 

[Ric]

If you buy an SC300, you can do the swap in one afternoon. The last swap I did (prepped engine of course), i started at noon by taking the 2jzge out, and drove the car at dinner time.

 

[Ken]

don't go 1jz, they suck. researching before you buy is bad idea too.

agreed. I knew a guy who researched and did a 1jz swap, and 10 years later, BAM!! herpes.

 

[The Reaper]

HAHAHAHAHA well damn im glad i didn't research all that much!!! maybe i'll just get syphillis (sp?) little less harsh and can be gotten rid of......
