roger roger, will do some research :stupid:

People claim some impressive numbers with simple SAF-C tunes on 1J's... I have a mate who was keen on a 1J into his laurel but was put off by cost estimation. Would be keen to know approx cost of the loom.

What are your guys estimates on a completed 1J conversion not incl exhaust and front mount?

depends on how much of a cheap ass D.I.Y-er u are :stupid:

changing the engines is pretty straight forward, as stated above custom engine mounts have been produced in s.a for a very cheap price( same as normal mounts) den buy ur self a 1jz engine loom and use the front engine plugs by just cutting them off with sum wire left 2 soldier onto the rb loom wire,

the loom plug mite be tricky.... if theres da same number of wires to the loom from the 1jz and the rb it shud be easy

We're all cheap ass DIY'ers aren't we? :) Looms are scary though..

d0rid0ri if you have time post some pics :)

do the custom mounts bolt up to the RB20 cross member? full aftermarket computer would easially be the way to go about it, instead of splicing, cutting and correcting with OEM looms.

i might do some sums and see what comes up :(

best price i could do for a 1jz manual half cut was 3k from a jzx81

btw my 2JZ in aristo made 255rwkw with an SAFC tune, exhaust and FMIC and thats through and autobox :(

would be easy another 20rwkw with a manual

A31: 3K for a manny hc from a JZX81 is f**king cheap man...has the right sump config you need too :D

what about it?

the inlet is no dramas whatsoever...as for the exhaust well a 1JZ has the dumps in the centre of the engine leaving you PLENTY of room for a decent front pipe and exhaust, if youre going a big single there shouldnt be any dramas either :thumbsup:

just asking because i wanted to know :laugh:

  • 2 weeks later...

some interesting info here. ive been wanting to do a 2jz cefiro conversion for quite a while now, but have been told by people (who arent very credible mind you) that it will cost an arm and a leg. may there just jealous :laugh:

given that it drops straight in, and ive even been told u can use standard mounts, and the loom is available, i cant see how hard it could be?

im not including labour mind u, im a cheapass d.i.yer as well

dude you cant use stock mounts...you need to buy the 2Jizzle mounts...

loom for swap is expensive and not worth it...get an aftermarket comp and be happy :(

    • Meanwhile, 20+ years ago, I pulled out the 105mm hole saw and went straight down through the inner guard in front of the airbox to get my stormwater pipe cold air intake in. Right behind the two stock holes for the intercooler pipes. Those have no reinforcement (apart from a couple of robust pieces of steel pipe through them!). I feel that the Australian vehicle standards crews put way too much emphasis on "maintaining the crash performance" of cars and not enough consideration of "any crash is a new and wonderful experiment with a random selection of parameters and you will never be able to tell if an extra 80mm hole through some sheet metal caused a significant difference...but if you close your eyes and squint at the whole structure, engage your engineering brain and have a good think about it, you'd have to expect that it would do jack all."
    • You guys are focussing on the wrong part of this post and have headed off on an irrelevant tangent!  Clearly I'm not going to put my most prized physical possession (well it will be once I'm finished it...) on a piece of shit contraption that might fail and crush me or my car!  At no point was that even implied I was trying to buy a butchered P.O.S that some shonky clown had thrown together with a gasless MIG....  Either way I would love to see the build quality of a rotisserie that has failed.  Actually I'd love to see a photo of one that has failed full stop.  Google fails to deliver.  Never happened?? I'll either make one that won't fail or will buy one that wouldn't fail! End Post.....
    • Yeah, if you can't breathe for more than about 2 minutes, you're cooked.
    • Well, all the power should be getting dissipated across the starter motor. Therefore, ideally, the voltage drop across the earth lead should be convincingly close to zero. Certainly you'd want it to be only a volt or so at max, because otherwise that volt doesn't turn up at the starter to do what is required. A car can probably survive a bad enough earth to crank and start with only 9V or so at the starter motor, maybe even a bit less. But you're seeing only 8V at the battery terminals when cranking, so there can't even be that much available over at the starter, which simply won't do. I would have thought that you couldn't pull enough current (with a healthy starter) to make the battery drop to 8V locally. But I was ignoring the possibility that the starter is in fact crook. If it has shorted windings (or maybe the solenoid is borked and shorting to earth) then I guess it could pull a stack of current and not even look like wanting to turn over. So follow the other boys' reccos too. Because they are just as likely at this point.  
    • Depending where the whole gets drilled, and what country/state you're talking about, quite likely not.   Under ole vehicle mod rules in NSW, VSI06 allowed for drilling of holes in "non structural" areas. So you could drill a hole through the inner guard, and not need engineering. You couldn't drill over seams, and it was advised to add extra reinforcing around the hole, as well as something to protect from sharp edges.   Again, it's all about finding the documentation for where the mod is to be done, AND then being able to explain the situation, with the documentation as to why you don't need engineering, with a positive attitude, to any one of the likes eg, police, vehicle inspector, etc.
