Blacktop on ebay - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

i saw the following ad on ebay and was curious as to whether it included everything needed for a black top swap and if not, what else is needed. i'm interested in doing one in the future, but i'm just curious for now. also would that be a reasonable price for a complete setup? thanx all.

What kind of car/engine is it going into, because that will change what is needed. Buth that does look pretty complete.

In east coast Canada eh.. I'd like to know where they are exactly, there's no info or anything other than a 1800 number on the auction.

it's going into an ae92 sedan. i know the suspension would probably have to be replaced and adjusted, but i'm talking about the parts that are needed to make the car turn on and drive. it's all pretty much a direct bolt on replacement except for the wiring right?

dude they have pretty poor feedback. I wouldnt buy anything from them.

freakinbox · 02-05-2007, 08:18 AM

I don't think you have to change your suspension to put it in, can't see a reason why.

Their feedback isn't bad? 96.1% Last time I checked that was a good number

6 are bad out of 189 for the past 12 months

ghost_ryder35 · 02-05-2007, 08:25 AM

thats what i thought too. i bought something from a guy with 97.2 and it turned out to be horse crap. he wouldnt help me and he never returned my calls.

ebay has an article on their site called "tips to a succesful purchase" they recommend that you buy from people that only have 98% and better feedback. If you plan on buying from someone with lower, they say that you should contact that person a few times and see as many pictures prior to placing the final bid, and make sure you pay paypal if under a 1000 so you can be covered through paypal if anything goes wrong.

i don't intend to buy that particular setup, i was just curious as to whether i would need anything else. i wish i had $1500 to spend on one though...

What sort of engine do you have?

EFI or carb?

diver9000 · 02-06-2007, 11:51 PM

If you want to buy one dont buy it from them.... you can get a better price than that.

***REN69*** · 02-07-2007, 07:21 PM

For a blacktop???? maybe a silvertop you can get cheaper, blacktops are going for a lot more than that.

fistofmeat · 02-08-2007, 02:06 AM

im running efi, and i have seen them for like 800, but i just wanna know what i need to have so if i do buy one, i'll know when i can start the swap (i.e. if i'll have a usless car sitting in my yard while i wait for the parts that i needed but didn't get at first to arrive)

The safest route is to get the whole front clip. It'll have everything you need for the conversion.

Then yes its pretty easy, you factory fuel pump and lines will be up to the job.

As long as you get a complete engine/gearbox unit, full loom with ECU and ignitor and its a 5 spd, then It will all bolt up really easy.

Then your only headache is wiring.
