a 1JZ swap site

[bobiseverywhere]

Well i know it has been for ever but i am finally gonna try and put together a complete swap site that is going to stay up so people do not have to worry about things going missing all the time. Be it either info or part number or the English translation of that TSRM for the 1J i will host the stuff from my site and have it all backed up

Either way i would like people to contact me with Pictures if they have some really good pictures of any steps the the swap process i have a few myself but want to get a large archive going. so that we have all the pics needed and info needed

So far for the site content i just have this as my idea, if you have any suggestions on a subject that should be included please let me know

- Swap info with pictures
- Parts info and part numbers
- A listing of aftermarket parts that are 1JZ Specific
- places for performance parts (maybe) its a bit of a sticky area i think
- Possibly costs of different builds depending on options that people did like going single right away. That being if people want to give out totals of what things ran them.
- and cause Jose did it a 1JZ VVT-i section of info (i know nothing at the moment but will send Jose a PM later to see what he can share)

The idea is to make something like the thread for the swap but to compile info all in one place with much easier access and ease of navigation through all the info


EDIT: if you want to send me pictures or info let me know if you want your SM user name attached to it put it in your email though and make the subject ( 1JZ Swap Site ) you can email me at bobiseverywhere-at-gmail-dot-com

Great idea. I cannot offer much to help your cause because there WERE great resources 4 years ago when I did my swap. I have to say that a few good connections I made locally (nor cal) really made it easy for me. It might be worth while to list local contacts for people as well as technical online resources, but its your "baby"
Listed below are the awesome folks who helped me out in a big way!

Ti (poi dog on supra forums) (jz and MK3 wiring guru)
Moe (suprastanger7mgte) (all around mk3 and jz guru)
Cary (rgguy on supra forums) (fabrication and mechanical guru, not shabby with wiring)

with out the help from these three I would not have a running car.

Great idea, I sent you a PM about some pictures that may help

 

[bobiseverywhere]

thanks for the PM

Once i have a few things together i will at least let everyone see the layout and then we can go from there

I got a bunch of wiring diagrams for the 1jz, give me and email address and I'll send em over to be put up (they were on that old site with the guy with the 92 teal supra on IS300 wheels).

Sounds like a great idea. I should be starting my 1J/W58 swap soon so, hopefully I can get you some good pics throughout the swap.

 

[RockPaperSwoRD]

full support, i wouldnt mind giving you a list of the parts and approx $$ i paid for them

 

[bobiseverywhere]

i added my email addy to the first post so please sen away on anything you have i will put in what i have so far and then we will be able to come up with price ranges if you also want to provide where you got your items that could be helpful to people as well. I will see what i am going to add or not

 

[bobiseverywhere]

no one else what to add to this???

Come on people i'll also put in a section for the 1.5JZ since it is still a JZ head and a fair bit of people use the 1JZ wiring harness and all

 

[rmjsupra]

Did you get my pics? I'll be working on a 1.5 Jz swap for my car in a couple of months, so you are welcome to that as well.

your Miguel right? if so then yes i got your email with the pics

 

[rmjsupra]

Yep that is me. I have most the parts for the 1.5jz swap put together, block should be going to the machine shop by middle of may.

 

[NokaoiMK3]

I think this is a great idea... I just did a 1JZ swap on my 90 targa and eventually will go 1.5JZ... I have a good amount of pics just let me know if there are any you need in specific...

 

[viperkillertt]

Awesome!!!
I look forward to seeing it up and running.

es this would be nice. I just toasted my 7m and thinking about going the 1jz route. The list of parts and items would be great info for those doer's. Anyways I'm fairly new to supra, but if I have a 91 supra turbo targa, that means I have the r153 or r154 trans right? Not the W58? Don't flame me... I'm still searching for more info.

That is correct if you have a Turbo 7M Supra you have a R154 Tranny There are other ways of checking as well. But that would only be if you are suspicious that your car was not a Turbo Supra to begin with.

 

[rmjsupra]

If it is a non-turbo 7M then it is the w58, turbo model had R-154. I am doing my swap with the W58 for now.

You can use any pics you like from the one 1JZ swap thread that I have on phoenixtuning.com

Also feel free to mention us for plug and play wiring for those who don't want to deal with it on their own.
