Search that tagline for my build blog. I have sold the 6mgze supercharged engine to Junkie, and have swapped in a 1gz v12 into the red car.

We're going to need WAY more pictures than that....

Looking forward to seeing this one!

Cool build, but ughh on the Facebook...

 

[CarFreek]

Its a standalone page, not linked to any mk2 groups. Junkies got a page also.

Awesome

 

[gamble]

Yesssssss, watching someone else do it stops me from doing it. Or makes me want to do it more? I don't know haha

New Skid Factory build is an old FJ with a twin turbo 1GZ.

 

[CarFreek]

Theres a 39 woody, a lexus is, a porsche 928, a subaru legacy, a mk4 supra, a old corona, and quite a few more I am missing with swaps. Turbo, twin, supercharged, itbs, carbs, you name it.

 

[topsecretuser]

damn, that so cool, where'd u get that engine?
as I understand it was only in jdm models.
what gearbox is in there?

 

[mutantcolors]

They are JDM only, tons of importers out there now. Ebay of just google "JDM" and you'll get there quick.

From the top...Serial number 4001. 6mgze next to 1gzfe, engine is tall. New shifter position.

Pictures of mounts and pass firewall. 1uz to late model cressida, these mounts bolt to stock position on block, and have same angle relative to mk 2crossmember as 60 degeree v12 does. Made adaptor plates up to bridge position, needed 2.5 inches. Using 1.675 tall gm trans mounts engine is just off crossmember with no structural mods to crossmember. Firewall pics are before and after pounding in 2 inches at valve cover bolt position. I could have cut this bolt off, but still would have had to pound. Bell housing is all the way back after doing this.

Stock wiring harness. Flipped orientation, rhd yall, and used about 2/3 of it, as it was in good shape. Link storm ECUduring pinout power check process. Where exhaust ends up. Stock setup is cats immediately after headers, most importers cut them, no different here. 2.5 inch adaptors pressed on after smoothing out cuts/surfaces.

Engine porn. Header clearance. More porn. 6 bolt mains forged everything and hand built, the insides are so much more beautiful than the outsides. Header clearance. Car has divot in headers for steering on rh side, much more about how I made this work later.

Egad, the coil pack budget on this motor!

Did it come with all those? The later JZ wasted spark coils seem like a good idea now, though not as pretty.

Such a cool motor. If one of these ends up being lighter then a 2jz with a compact forced induction setup, I might have to change my plans...

 

[mutantcolors]

LOL, compact.

The timing on this is pretty poignant, here's Turbo Yoda twin turboing a 1GZ, he kinda knows what he's doing so let's all watch together as this unfolds.

 

[CarFreek]

Stock coils are same as 1gz. I bought 2 sets of 1uzvvti aftermarket coils on special, lol.
