Well that escalated quickly..
What're the plans for the 1jz? Stock, single, full rebuild? etc.
Haha, yes. Just replacing all sensors, gaskets (not head gasket though), accessories (water pump, etc), pulleys, rubber lines, and giving it a good clean, and a bit of purple paint on certain areas. Then it goes to a friend's shop for insertion.
nice build thread. are you going to keep the stock twins or go single? im still debating if i want to go 1j or 2j swap next month lol. Whatever i do im going single while the motor is out of the car. Heard its a pain in the *** to swap the twins out while in the car.
TJ Trust me the twins removal in the car sucks bad like really bad
Gisguy you should coat your brackets with some type of rust preventer
Will do. Re-drilled so now the intercooler is centered. I also installed the plastic OEM 97+ bumper, and it fits much better than my previous AIT bumper.
I'm gonna send the twins in to get rebuilt at DriftMotion or some place in the next few months.
Yesterday I finally got around to installing the LS400 calipers.
Finally got my Tomei T-Trax TB20 2-Way LSD installed.
Took an entire year, due to the first shop having gone out of business, and other life priorities.
I don't plan on testing its slide capabilities in my Blizzaks, but rest assured I won't be having any more stuck-in-ice-due-to-one-wheel situations for the remainder of this winter!
Well guys, it's been a while without an update. In late January some life events occurred and the SC300's transmission blew. Citing financial concerns and my 57-mi daily commute, I figured it was time to stick with a reliable daily and pursue my sportscar fantasies a little later on.
I sold Elsa to a friend of a friend, Rcreegan. He bought the whole kit from me, including the non-VVTi 1JZ and the Tomei 2-way LSD I was fitting a week prior to the transmission failure.
