It's not "betraying" anyone. Its the mentality that comes up with these pathetic reasons to swap out. "Oh, I can't make my 100+k mile motor work right, I'm just going to give up and buy a less mileage motor which will probably break as well once it reaches the miles my 7M had."SupraOfDoom said:Why? It's not a poor choice, its a great motor... why does everyone feel like people going 1JZ's are betraying them...
Enraged said:its a personal decision. i would rather build a 7m, but thats me.
so either way, good luck with your swap, hope to see lots of pics when you get it on the road
SupraOfDoom said:NegativeGeforce spent nearly $1000 just converting his car to FFIM on his 7M.
Stretch said:It is possible Ideal that included in that $1000 is the price of intercoolerpiping and even the intercooler itself. I'm not sure. You're right tho, it doesn't cost too much, you could get one of Seth's intake plenums for cheaper and make your own pipes, I'd say that'd run closer to $550.

I wouldn't want to lose the 1/2 litre capacity by going 1J never mind the torque loss in our big fat pigs.

CtSupra said:since when can we not import?
i work at KFC right nowgaragefujimoto said:Too bad you can't import into the good ol' USA. Trust me, putting the keys in a factory stock RHD 1JZ 2.5 Twin-Turbo-R and then cruisin down to KFC for a bucket is a lot funner than a 7M rebuild or 1JZ swap. :biglaugh:
well if anyone is ever at Mississauga, ONT, be sure to come by and get some free shitgaragefujimoto said:No, you just need to be the manager...KFC pwns all and kicks serious ass
I just ate a bucket last night, and Mr. Lange even lives a couple blocks from Colonel Sanders School, I shit you not.
The very first KFC in the world was opened not too far from where we live.
MMMM Bucket, the only thing better than 1.5 JZ
