Hello everyone i just installed a 1jz-gte vvti from a jzx100 into my rx7. Ive been very happy with the swap thus far. The motor seemed to be very strong and pulled very well for it being stock. The other night i was driving home and the motor began knock as i got into my neighborhood, in disbelief i thought to myself "No this isnt happening, its late I'm tired and that isnt knocking that i hear coming from my new motor". Well i guess no matter what engine you put in these damn cars the curse remains.
I need to rebuild my bottom end and i have no clue if the old non-vvti parts will fit into a vvti motor. So can anyone clarify this for me and what all i would need to fix the knocking. From what i know all i would need is new bearings and connecting rods(if they happen to be damaged) but the pistons should be fine correct. Also going 1.5jz is something i want to do so that is out of the question. Thank you for all your help.
