I Want A 2jz!!!!!help...

[7mgtboy]

my motor is goin to complete shit, and i don't wanna mess with it ne more. i'm gonna stuff a damn 2jz in there, cause i'll end up blowin a 7m up. does anybody have any references or know anyone who has one for sale for a pretty decent price? i'd rather find one under 50k miles, but i need some help findin a used one for sale.:werd:

Well, it's no easy task. The 1JZers have a hard enough time putting that motor in.

It's been done, but it's not exactly cheap to do. Unlike the 1jz, you can't mate the R154 to it. You'll have to go with the W58 (N/A mkiv 5speed) or do some serious modification to cram a V160 6-speed in there.

Doing so would not be easy or cheap. You'd be better off building the 7m. It would cost less, be just as reliable/powerful, and you wouldn't have to go through the significantly more complex procedure of swapping the engine and tracing all the ECU wires.

I seriously doubt you'd blow a properly built 7m up. You'd be looking at 3-4k to do a total build on the 7m with forged pistons, rods, ARP everything, and a MHG. If you break that, you've got issues.

I second that. You're probably going to be looking at $2-3K im just the 2jz engine, then wiring harness, engine mounts, cutting the transmission tunnel, custom driveshaft, custom exhaust, custom intake...

If you put $5,000-$6,000 into a well-built 7m-gte, new wiring harness, some new sensors, new turbo, maybe even new clutch and transmission -- you've have one bulletproof engine. You'd come out ahead of the 2jz swap in terms of money and reliability, and still be able to eventually get 500+rwhp

just a correction, i was under the impression that you COULD mount an R154... with of course, the ever elusive 1jz bellhousing. dunno how true this is, as i myself have never done nor attempted it. just going by what i heard. anyone who's done this care to refute or back up this statement? thanks, just my .02

The R154 attaches to the 2jz w/ the 1jz bellhousing. Mike Urbano posted some info on his swap....I

[SuprAng]

i also hear if you use the w58, you can swap the shifter from a mk3 w58 and it will be in the same location... i know... pointless fact

There was somebody in the MKIV section selling a 2JZGTE for 2700 shipped. I was thinking of buying it, but....Anyways, he might still have it, do a search in the for sale section. Ron

Yes, apparently that is possible. I had meant that it won't directly bolt up to either the R154 bellhousing, or the 2jz bellhousing.

If you can actually find a 1jz housing, sure, it could be done. But... for my money, I'd just build the 7m. Same relative power possibilities, no wiring or fabrication nightmares.

[jbsupra89t]

gotcha.

and yeah, finding a 1j bellhousing might prove to be a little difficult
