Swedish 1JZ swap, lots of detaling and pics

[RWHP]

I know there is alot of threads about people that swaps from 7M-GTE to 1JZ-GTE, but i will be the second person ever to do it here in Sweden. Think it's about 5-6 1JZ here where i live, so these engine's is not something that you may found around every corner

Where to start... My car is an 89 with 93200 miles on it, it's perfect condition and very well taken care of by the previous owners. Hasn't been driven in snow for the last 10 years, is 1 of 30 MA70 that was sold buy Toyota dealers when the car came rest of the MA70s here are imports, think its 1 of 2 or 3 swedish sold cars that isn't wrecked.

Some pictures then!

The old engine

Bought a 14" Summit fan that i will use instead of the belt driven fan. Will use a 2JZ waterpump also. AEM air filter that i got with me home..

New oils, everything from Red Line

Had to buy a new 7M-GTE harness since the old harness went away with the engine.

Started to prepare things for the 1JZ-GTE harness that will be cut in

Removed the air conditioning system, put it in a box so that i can put it back someday!

For now i'm just waiting for the engine to arrive, bought it from jdmracingmotors.com in canada in february. 2 days ago the crate with the engine, transmission, ecu and harness came to the port in Gothenburg. Think it will get trough the customs tomorrow and then it's just 1-2 days of wait left When the 1JZ harness is in place i will clean the enginebay so it will look fresh later, more work to clean when the engine is in so..

And if you find any spelling faults or stuff like that, don't bather, i'm a f*ckin swede haha :biglaugh:

Wow nice ride man. I bet Supras are fun to have in Sweden. You guys have such nice scenic roads
Good luck on the swap. 1JZs are fun.

I'd think it'd at least be like Norway, which isn't as bad as you make it sound. And definitely not worse than Houston roads.

Swedes are smart enough to make a 7M run in general

Finally done with the harness, got a friend that will (weld?) it all together.

Did some cleaning in the frame and parts where its hard to clean when the engine is there. Got to do some more work there, could be happier with the looks.

I hate the original hoseclamps so i went to buy new stainless steel clamps

Ooh and FedEx came buy with a package..

 

[RWHP]

Engine block got some paint, looks alot better i think

Clean the front axle

Timing belt cover and spark plug cover got painted, did do some more minor work

Bling bling :naughty:
