My setup for the 89 (hows it sound?)

[BJ91T]

Well I made a thread a few weeks back but plans have changed and I now plan to do the JZ swap in the 89 shell that I have and keep my 91 stock for the daily drive. Well after looking into both aspects of the JZ series swaps I think I have decided on a 1.5JZ-GTE. I will do this in series first get a clip I assume and do a drop in swap to a 1jz-gte get the bugs worked out and get the car looking good. Drive the car for as long as it takes to source and build a 2jz-gte block. Once the 2jz block is done pull the 1jz and drop the block under the 1jz head (which will obviosly get some attention aswell) and run the car from a 1jz harness. When the 2jz block goes in so will AEM EMS and a 1jz-2jz jumper harness/adapter. Bassicly that (I assume) will give me a fun car and by fun I mean fast as all hell and make it quite simple and affordable (by affordable I mean i can buy new stuff at my leisure and not be rushed to get the car running. I have laid out my "end result" parts list keep in mind it will not all be done in any quickness since the car will run while the 2jz gets built. Tell me anything I may have left out or something I may not need. Along with a ballpark HP number if possible.

Big part of this list was based on HamsmkIII's brown car because I have loved that car since I joined the site.

That is a really big list. It must be nice to have funds to back up that big list.:aigo:

 

[pocketrocket07]

Why the 1jz head? dont the 2j's flow better?

 

[mattjk]

jesus, just buy a salvaged mkivtt

 

[AF1JZ]

Jeez dude, that's going to cost a pretty penny. It should be badass in the end though.

 

[OneJoeZee]

Why bother with a 1.5JZ?

You want the 3L so just get a 2J. Don't make things harder than they have to be. If you can't afford the 2J right out, then just wait a bit.

It doesn't sound like you're going to be finishing this car anytime soon, so just wait and get the engine you want the first time.

 

[BJ91T]

because I am trying to keep the wiring as simple as possible

 

[Ric]

Christ, dude for that kinda money just buy a MKIV. You can get tt auto's for 14-16k that are still in better condition then most mkIII's

 

[The Reaper]

maybe its what he wants to do lay the fuck off guys jesus.

if he wants a 1.5JZ then let him be. damn all these people quick to bash someone and hound em....and who in the hell wants an auto tt mkiv? not me.

go on mustangman do what you want don't listen to these people i think its sweet and your car will be better then 90% of the people talking shit to you as you are building it man.....do the damn thang!!

 

[BJ91T]

thank you reaper yes its what i want to do, sure it will be alot of money but it wont hit me hard all at once because it will be a running 1jz car and i will slowly stockpile the parts for my 2jz bottom end. I dont see anyone bashing hams when he did his... And no i wont be getting a mkiv anytime soon

 

[The Reaper]

no problem man i feel ya slowly upgrading. instead of needing to take out a loan to build it LOL

i'm going 1.5JZ as well, wont be going AS big as you are for a LONG while but will be 1.5J with single 67 or 71 turbo by the end of the year is my plan

edit:: btw mkiv's are gay in the sense that they are 9-15 years old and are STILL over priced. a 94 TT 6speed should be around 12-15K not 25-30K thats horse shit

 

[Ric]

I'm going reverse 1.5 just because doing it the 3 liter way just gives you a 2JZGTE with no head flow.

Honestly dude, what kind of power are you looking for

 

[BJ91T]

well honestly 800 at the wheels but if i do a full on 2jz-gte the wiring nightmare that i was trying to avoid comes into play

 

[Ric]

What wiring nightmare? Just use a 1JZGTE harness and ECU on a JDM 2JZGTE. All you need is an SAFC2 with +18 across the board, and runs like stock.

Perfect til you go stand alone, single, bigger fuel, etc.

 

[BJ91T]

I want to go stand alone from day 1 so what will i need to do that (aem)

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

2jz and a single. standalone = not much wiring.

 

[The Reaper]

im gonna do a 1.5JZ still man if its what you want do it. if you want a 2J then do it.

before Ric was saying the head flow wasn't different and now he's saying it will be a restriction....makes no sense stick with one or the other.

im doing it to be different plus for me its cheaper. later down the line if i want to swap it out i will get a 2JZ head

 

[BJ91T]

i am confused lol i want the 3.0 but the 1jz head makes it easier. If i do the 1.5 how do i go about running it from aem?

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

The only reason people dont go FULL 2jz is A, They are cheap, B 2JZ-GTE heads are not cheap, and C, Modifications are required to run STOCK turbos on a 2jz-gte in an A70


So go single, go standalone, And you win

 

[Ric]

How does a 1JZ head make install easier? There's no difference electrical connection wise compared to a JDM 2JZGTE head.
