Blair, What Y pipe and DP are you running?

 

I ordered the one for the supra mk3. The y pipe will work but the downpipe is going to take some cuting and welding. Im waiting to put that on till alittle later. The stock downpipe meeting the stock exhaust perfectly was just too good to mess up right away.

 

Right on! Have any recent pics of your car with the swap??

 

dont forget to add oil to the PS.. lol yeah i forgot.

 

thanks for the posting. my 1jz project will start in 2 wks. gettting all the loose end parts. my plan is 2 stages. 1 just get her running with stock boost, then 2 going single. did any one use the stock w158 tranny. if so i don't remember whats need to bolt to 1jz. also for the sc300, does it matter weather the clip is from a soarer or supra--front sump or real sump?

 

w58 bolts right on. you need a soarer motor, so the harness is the same, and you need a rear sump engine.

 

So after more than a month of doing the swap I finally made it home to finish up the few little things to make it drivable. This week I did

-Installed new throttle cable (mk4 tt supra) is correct. I got the wrong one at first
-installed soarer fuel pump
-installed boost and water temp gauge
-installed radiator
-fabbed up fmic and piping
-fabbed up some heater hoses
-drained and filled r154
-relocated battery to trunk

Here are a few pics of the intercooler setup. I will get some more of the other things later on.

bumper clears nicely. Piping is behind bumper and sc400 lip (sits pretty low)

The piping is all ebay special 2.75 inch with the appropriate couplers and t bolts. I just chopped up and fit it all together piece by piece. I plan on having it all tig welded here real soon so i can loose all the couplers!!


test drive time

As of now I need to figure out the NO POWER issue. ( I started a separate post about that) I went on my first drive yesterday and lets just say.,.. i was sad haha

 

nice photos. looks really good. when ever u fix the tach thing and the temp, post up a how to.

 

for the temp i installed a autometer watertemp gauge.. seemed like the easiest thing to do.. it works great.. as for the tach i still need to do the modification for that

 

hey i have one quick ? for you. did you use the elictric or manual temp guage. and asuming you used the electric one did you just splice into the harness?

and one question for everyone. i thought i saw a thread (and ive searched) that said there was a camery throttle cable that could be used instead of the mk4 cable.

blair the wap looks great, good luck withthe power issue. i have an extra ct12 if the turbos are your problem.

 

Camry cable is p/n 78180-33040

It is a little longer, but it bolts right up perfectly.

 

hey yelloa3gti how much did you pay for the 1jz motor+tranny

 

about 2k shipped

 

was it a full swap///or did you need extra parts..and how much power can this motor handle with on bottom end work

 

At least you got the hardest part done and it looks like you guys did it right the first time--

Nice car--
Nice swap--
Nice goin--

I'm definitely jealous, but I see a lot of potential with boostin the 1UZ in my sc4-- 8 lbs with a pair of GT28rs's should work well and be cheap to build--

It should be torquey--
