The 2JZ bolts are the same. You can get them at the dealership.

I'm sure you could find some at ace hardware, I used some hardened ones for my engine stand and a few fit with the tranny on the engine.

I know the feeling kinda, I started my 1jz conquest last year, then weather set in, and I stalled for 6 months. Quit my job, was broke for a while, but I wanted to get the thing going, so I blew my whole tax return on a haltech, sold another conquest which was my daily driver for a wideband and some other misc stuff. Just need motiviation to get the car going man. I was all ready to start the engine up for the first time today with my haltech, but its been raining the entire day, no freaken garage, and I dont solder in the rain...

Ranger, good to see you are sticking with a 1j mk3

 

[boostjunkie89]

yeah i know the feeling i lost my job a while back and have been struggling to get by ever since... everytime i get close to catchign up.... something else pops up and im back at square 1..... car isnt even on my mind right now. i dont even know why i come on the forum every day. i love starquests by the way. so jealous of your pending setup.

 

[ranger2339]

you can just buy mine...ha ha...6k for you.....

I got the bellhousing bolts from a 93 2jzge a/t if they are the same. If i remember right, theres 8 of them that connect the bh to the block? If i can sort em out of the bolts bin ( i got another engine to compare em to), they are yours for $20 shipped.

 

[boostjunkie89]

thanks for the offer, but im just going to do some hardware store hunting today... get it sorted out. i need to give back the engine hoist i borrowed by tomorrow.

Heck ill do $15 shipped. Remember to buy only grade 8 bolts if you go the Ace Hardware route.

 

[boostjunkie89]

yeah i know to get the right stuff.... now I just hope that its there... there are lots o places i can look though so i think I'll be ok. I will PM ya if i need those bolts from you though.

 

[VJ RC51]

We have this place called Daytona Nut and Bolt here in CFL they got it all. Im sure u got the same kinda places.

 

[boostjunkie89]

theres a place called fastenall close by. that will be the first stop.

I got my bellhousing bolts from the toyota dealer and from the local hardware store, I believe there are 4-5 14mm bolts and the rest are 12mm. But its the same stuff as a mk4.

 

[Orubus]

You won't find em at Ace Hardware or any other parts store like that. They only sell american Coarse thread bolts.

eeks...how much did you end up paying for that mess?

 

[boostjunkie89]

its in... i ended up using 5 12mm by 2" long bolts with washers from ace hardware and 4 10mm bolts off of the 7m belhousing.... but now my problem is the rear turbo inlets bolt head is hitting the firewall.... is my frame tweaked or something? i thought that was only a problem on the 2jz.... it went in and is barely touching... but nmow i gotta go in and fix that too. dammit
