Damn, our front ends look very similar.. Great choice on the paint color. It's nice and even almost refreshing to see people use a rare and unique color like that

 

Looks like i will have a newer 1.5jz guide to go off of. Currently doing one as well.

 

Already have the 2JZGE bottom end rebuilt with new bearings and am waiting for a free weekend to pull my 1JZ and swap everything since it's my daily driver. Hoping everything goes smoothly, will just need to swap over the head + intake manifold and turbo setup and the oil pan. Already have larger injectors to compensate for the added displacement as well.

 

Where you located maybe ill come by and help as much as i can... also did u tap the block or u went another way?

 

Finished building the 1.5JZ and decided to take the time and freshen up the bay while it was out.

- Painted engine bay
- Deleted ABS
- Relocated battery
- New intercooler piping
- Factory power steering setup

How I got it :



Now :



1.5JZ Runs great and pulls pretty well on 6psi. Tried to up the boost and am hitting fuel cut so that'll be address soon.

Next up will be redoing the interior.

 

What parts did you need for you 1.5?

 

Love the new color.. What is next on the list of things to do?

 

Looking good!

6psi man? You gotta do something about that asap.

 

Thanks guys!

Up next will be a fuel cut defender and then turning the boost up.
I'll be keeping it pretty conservative so probably around 12-14psi. Should easily do 350whp-400whp which is my goal.

After that the interior will be getting a complete makeover. Replacing worn/ broken pieces, dying everything black, and a bucket seat.
