Make sure to read up on the diff mounting location for the Z3. They had a serious problem of the subframes cracking and the mounting points being torn off the trunk floor. This is at STOCK power levels.
There are ways to cure this problem but the kits are VERY expensive and doing it yourself is highly labour intensive.
Very cool project. Good luck.

There's also a 1967 camaro with a 2j (its so sexy), but the list goes on and on, 2j s13's, s14's, e36 3 series (sedan and coupe) rx-7's, skylines and even mustang's
but more to the point, if your car has a 5 speed manual then it's either a w58 from the naturally aspirated MK4 or an R154 from a 1JZ powered MK3, from what I've seen neither transmission can handle much more than 600hp. As for your wiring issue go to bimmerforums, you may have already seen this (I actually saw your car on there last week) but theres a guy in the engine conversions section thats swapping a 1jz into an e36 318, his name on there is armyboot, I'm not sure how much the two engines have in common as far as wiring goes but he might be able to help you.
cool project, im also building a 2jz in a bmw, when i'm further with the proces of making it i'll make up a project topic as well
good luck

Its funny how so many don't know the potention of the 2JZ but I guess this is more of a MK3 site. Ok well on stock internals your top end is good up to around 700whp(restricted with your cams,valves,etc..) bottom end with perfect tune good up to around 1000whp. What you'll need for your top end is bigger cams, I would have the head ported,polished, and go with 1mm over valves. For more questions just ask me. I know quite a bit having a MK4. I know the twins are good up to 500whp. Anything over that come on man your Z3 wont be streetable at all. Unless your only planning on Drag racing it.Oh yeah and get all new rubber and hard pipes for your intercooler. The rubber on your motor looks old and that rubber coupler on you t/b wont stay on under boost.
^^^agreed.
And to your parts list... Get it running first!!! Leave the twins everything. Once you've debugged what are actually bugs and not rich conditions/out of tune aspects of being modified. Take my word as one speaking from experience.
Also, you need to find out what tranny you have. If it is a R154, it's a pull clutch and you should NOT get a clutch kit with a heavy duty pressure plate. You may want to splurge and go twin disk. If you have a W58, it's a push type like almost everything in the world. That tranny can't hold as much but it shifts hella smoother. I don't like the way the shifter feels in a MK4 though,,, feels rubbery.
I edited your list. one site for you Driftmotion.com
Also, you haven't even listed gauges and a fuel pump or other stuff. Gauges are stupid expensive. That's one reason I went with powerFC, I can monitor the other crap that I'd a spunt too much on and been stuck with a wackass piggyback AFC. You should consider that when you buy your standalone too.
Lastly, sorry if I've mistaken your noobishness for lack tuning prowess. You could just be very unfamilar with toyota stuff, but all I see is that you stuck the motor in and play with the stock motor and read stuff and have an overkill wish list this is what I know of your ability. Hugs.
