About to 1JZ

[BlackMKIII]

Aaron is doing the swap for me, and here's what I've lined up so far:

3" Y-pipe-back exhaust, using the DM downpipe, 3" high flow cat, and RS*R GT-II.
New EXEDY Clutch Kit.

Other than that, the rest will be stock. I'm on a very, very tight budget. The entire swap cost is being accumulated betwen now and mid-November. As of today, the clip is paid for. I'll "probably" have an extra $500-$700 to diddle with other stuff. What do you guys think I should upgrade before I leave DM?

EDIT: I'm sold on the Koyo race radiator. That's now on the list.

 

[OneJoeZee]

A single turbo.

but really. 500-700. The radiator.

I was thinking a upraded rad aswell




so what happend to the 7m i see in your sig??

 

[masterchief819]

Ya the rad that came with my clip cracked and leaked within a couple months of my swap -_-

Koyo ftw!

 

[OneJSupra]

definitely get new rad either oem works fine too if you're on tight budget, or get upgraded rad if you have extra cash.

 

[BlackMKIII]

Wow. That was decisive. :biglaugh:

The 7M-GE in my sig... Well, tells a lot of "Knock-Knock" jokes...

i would say replacing all belts is priority. also the rear main seal because its a pain to get to.

if aaron is doing it he will pretty much tell you what you need as i was about to use him for refrence on what you need hehe. but if your on a budget i'd say those are priority.

I agree, reseal the engine. Those are harder to get to. Radiator can be changed out quite easily IF it needs to be changed

 

[OneJoeZee]

My guess is that's probably part of the swap he's getting already.

 

[doom26464]

an intake would be a good upgrade as well. Also don't get me wrong but with thoses mods won't he be banging off fuel cut possibly?

 

[OneJoeZee]

Probably not.

 

[BlackMKIII]

It is. Aaron does all the seals and whatnot. I'm already sold on the raidiator, but if I had that and one more thing, what would you guys suggest?

Edit: And I'll be keeping my CAI. It should fit with the 1JZ inlet pipe location.

 

[OneJoeZee]

Save the rest of your money. May need it later. Who knows.

You'll be content with the mods you listed. Trust me.

 

[BlackMKIII]

KTHX Joe. :biggrinbo

 

[BorHor]

instead of the rsr why not get aaron's custom exhaust with the carbon TI? dunno just an idea. I would probably save the money too.

 

[OneJoeZee]

KTHX Joe.

Just for the record, I made 293@12psi with the same basic mods you listed. That's pretty average for a 1J with freed up exhaust.

No boost controller.

You drove kyle's car right? So you know what to expect. Stock twins will keep you happy for a good while.

Cause I already bought the RS*R. Just waiting for it.

 

[BorHor]

Gotchaaaaa rsr is cool, straight stuff.

With 700 bucks I would buy a rad, 2j water pump , thermostat, t-belt and cam /crank seals and yes, you will need a BCC with an open exhaust and y pipe ( 17.9psi at 50*F these engines love the cold nights :aigo: ) . It's nice to get all this done while the engine is out, not a fun job later. COngrats and good luck to you !!!

I'm assuming he's already being set up with a complete JZA70 clip, right blackmkiii?(what's your name anyway)

No need to change the fan setup.
