i have 2k to spend for a winter project, deciding on a 1jz soarer swap or na-t the stock ge motor (i have a spare ge motor lying around). or possibly a few more pennies for a 2jzgte swap. i really want to stay in the 2k range. my car is a 92 sc3 auto right this moment. is it possible to get the 1jz soarer front clip in a 5-speed?? what would you guys do?? thanks in advance

ill have a w58 you can buy in a couple weeks if you want a 5speed and cant find an r154=)


BTW for $2k i think the best thing to do would be the motor swap. 1jz.

if you can do the motor swap yourself (aka FREE LABOR) and know how to work out all the bugs, then it's a good idea. You can go NA-T for $1,500 in parts though.several have done it.

my buddy has a shop and can lend me a hand in doing the swap. any bay area importers that carry the soarer front clip?? i called venus but they have it on hold for somebody already...so i did some searching and it seems like its like a needle in a haystack to find a 5-speed soarer front clip. how much more would a 5-speed clip cost compared to the auto one??

NA-T for $1500? That is pushing it beyond words. I would say the area of $2500 if you want a decent kit that won't blow up on you.

Personally if I had $2000, I would spend it on rims and lowering the car

I dont if you're talking about used rims but brand new quality rims cost about $2000-$2500.
So that is out of the question, unless you get axiis, anything made from hp, or stern, etc...

for $2000 Go get your car fully maintained, with the leftover money...............

................somebody take over, I gotta go back to work.

I have about $1800 invested so far in my 1jz swap, 300 of that into extending the harness, if u do it yourself u can save some $$$. You can easily do a stock 1J swap for under 2k.

where did you get your swap from?? is it just the motor swap or front clip??

Save it for a girl who'll keep you warm this winter. Gas prices are gonna be jacked up. Venus' website says they have a few 1jz's but its almost never updated when I check. How much were they asking for the clip?

they wanted 2k for the front clip but was on hold for someone. this is my money that i've saved on the side for the sc. havent forgot about the lady though

i paid 1200 shipped for my motor swap (no need for a clip, clips are just wasted space and money). $300 for harness extension, and 100 or so for throttle cable and electric fan (oem ford). Its very easy to install yourself with a motor hoist and a buddy to help drop it in (and take old motor out).
