Yeah, I moved on from the 3SG because of that and the powerband being the opposite of what you want in a truck. Curious why you would say avoid...
All this talk of the 2JZGE and then I find a guy with a very clean JDM 1JZGE VVTi at a killer price. This engine research and hunt has been a wild...
Total whiff on the junkyard 2J's, they've been picked apart. Not a total waste of a trip tough :) [IMG]
Again with the 4x4 guys, I read time and time again, full write ups of people doing this swap and being very happy with the results. The hard...
I live in Idaho. No one looks at anything. Like I said, it's something a lot of 4x4 guys do. As with anything in this life, YMMV.
Correct, all you gotta do is get it up to a 3" tube, it's like the world's easiest mod. Use a heat gun and get your stretch on. I know a lot of...
I was pretty sure I was going 2JZ but some of you guys are making the 1UZ look easier and easier. At first glance it looked like a complete PITA.
Must be 1982 only. All other years send info the opposite way, so your fuel/air ratios will always be wrong. I have an 82 Supra, I have used this...
If I may ask, what's up with the flywheel that needs changed? I'm looking into slapping a 1UZ onto an existing W5x setup.
The snow is breaking up finally and I located 2 2JZ VVTi and 1 1UZ VVTi at a local pick-a-part for $300 a piece. YES.
No shit. That's amazing. Looks like my theory that a V8 doing hardly any work = great MPG actually pencils out.
After really digging up what my top two choices do, and how they do it, I've settled comfortably into the fact that a 2JZGE will be installed in...
I realize this is NOT the point of a build like this, but I'd love to know what kind of MPG you get in this.
If you need some measurements or something my W55 is sitting in my truck right out front.
In related news, the Supra is now my DD and I found a local brain to pick who's familiar with both 2J and BEAMS swaps. I made a half-assed offer...
With under 60K miles, that thing will take you very, very far.
Well, I'm pretty certain I popped the timing chain on the way home. Not all plans work out perfectly...
For anyone who's curious, the build thread has begun. http://toyotaminis.com/forum/threads/1989-xtra-cab-build-thread.23070/
This is a sweet ass build. My truck looked about as clean as yours when I bought it...
If I go 6cyl, which is like 50/50 right now, it'll be a JZ. I think the engineering backs me up on a straight 6 being all around superior to V6,...
