How much of a pain is the swap? I'm just getting my SUPRA.
wait im cofused now about the 1jz swap. everyone says that it is about just as hard as the 2jz swap. if you can i would like to know exactly how to do the swap.Abomination said:Which swap?
The 6M-GE = Direct drop in
The 7M-GTE = Not totally hard, but not easy
The 1JZ-GTE = Slightly harder than 7M
The 2JZ-GTE = Hardest swap of all.
The most popular swap is the 7M-GTE. No fabrication needed, just drop it in and use some parts from your 5m. For the 1JZ you'll need to use different engine mounts and you'll have to extend the wiring harness if your car is left hand drive. For the 2JZ you'll have to do a lot more then the 1JZ. The 2JZ is definitely the hardest of the swaps. Norbie has done a 2JZ swap and documented just about everything, check out his site, norbie.net
If this is all new information to you, use google and you'll find several walk throughs on how to most of these swaps.
Last known email addy was [email protected]There is no way a JZA70 Supra 1JZGTE engine fill fit into a MK2
Supra. Trust me I know! The sump on the JZA70 is at the rear of the
engine and the MK2's have a front sump. The engine mount point on the
block are also in a different position. You would have to buy a JZX81
Chaser engine/front cut to fit in a MK2. That's what I've used. And
yes us Aussies have beaten you'se with a 1JZGTE MK2 conversion. See
