1jzgte Project!

[tlo86]

I'm at it again! i haven't been satisfied with my 2jz swap yet already i am working on another swap!

whats being done:
N/A 1987 White Supra.
Symptoms:
Possible BHG, car won't start, want to know if it is worth fixing or just swapping...
Solution:
I'll let the pictures tell the tale!

here she is (by the way if you see something you might want now is a good time to PM me and get it cheap )

good indication that there was uhh some type of oil in the coolant... (this is all that was in the radiator)

halfway there

sadly, all new belts.

all working accessaries

magnet tool holder, everyone should have one or three!

not a good sign!

oops! but of course by this time the 1jz was already ordered!

not supposed to look like that....

where did those come from..

Oil, no oil, no oil, no oil, oil oil

still waiting for the 1jz to come in so the wiring can commence. sadly i am moving while the swap is taking place and going to jamaica so there will be a delay...

what a string of bad luck! engine came in finally and its the wrong one! looks like a chaser... front sump hydro fan. better yet it was supposed to have a complete harness and ecu and has none of it! and heres the kicked, the alternator does not sit on right because the bracket is broken off the block.. +1 for importers
