Well here is the actual motor. It's from an old soarer I believe that was an automatic. It hasn't been cleaned much since it left Japan and its still veryy clean. Harness is uncut too
Pics or it didn't happen right? Here are some Aaron sent me from the shop last week
Can't wait to get it!
A day went by...
Talked to Aaron at Driftmotion and got my motor ready to be shipped out
I'm shipping it from their shop to Performance Plus Global Logistics in St. Charles for a little over $200 with insurance. Good deal, if anyone needs freight I can point you to them. They do great work.
Anywho here it is with everything including map sensor, ecu, and ignitor all wrapped up ready to be shipped out. I can't wait to have it in person, it gets shipped tomorrow!
I can't believe this is actually happening....I'm living the dream
Since I need to get all my swap parts still and the motor is going to be here I think I'm going to go ahead and polish the turbo inlets, valve covers, and intake manifold. This is a 1JZ in a 240sx but its what id like my setup to look like. I believe I got the picture from this site actually..
I already have a polished radiator and IC piping so it should flow well.
I also want to change up some stuff up in the interior, is like to get a new wheel and hub but I need all my money for the swap. I will probably put my blitz turbo timer that digitally reads boost in bar and measures peak boost on top of my steering column. Then I will put the protect b in a place a little more discreet
Then above the radio where the turbo timer is now I would put my AEM wideband and vdo somewhat time specific and stock looking vdo boost gauge there. Keep it clean and simple, I don't think I've seen a setup quite like it yet.
Here are most of the parts sitting in my apartment for the swap haha
I still have some little stuff at my gfs still. Checkout my Wtb parts thread in the JZ parts wanted section!!! Need almost everything still
