1JZGTE in a MA70? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

10sec_Dreams · 10-20-2001, 01:26 PM

I know they had the motor in a LIMITED number of the mk3's in Japan. the 1JZGTE is 280hp twin turbo.

Now my quesion...does ANYONE know where I can find more info on this motor and if it will bolt up to my tranny? I've got an 87 NA supra. I realize this is a tall order, but if I can, I think I'm going to be one of the first (that I've seen) to use this beast

hhehee your beating me to mah idea

damn hahah hey i'm bout to pick up a chassis for 600 from a 1989, just shell and rear end and windows. i want to make a sleeper out of it, all black, including head and valve cover powder coated black, stripped interior just carpeted, converted to single turbo and boosted like crazy, the 1jzgte supposed to fit in with the purchase of the front

One thing, I'm in the US....I don't know what that translates to up here, or wether I'm going to be able to get it at all. If all else fails I'll go with the 2JZGTE...but I really want this little oddball engine

I've got a MK2 Supra with a 1JZGTE out of a Toyota Chaser cost $1900 AUS for a front cut. MK3 Supra's came out with these motors so if you get a Supra front cut its bolt for bolt and plug for plug. Simple.

how much did it cost to ship it?? where are u located? i'm in cali

Project87Supra · 12-11-2003, 10:39 PM

I have the same question about that. I actually have the 1jz gte engine, but i could'nt find the tranny anywhere, so will the 1jz engine bolt up to the 7m tranny?

SuperDerek · 12-27-2003, 02:49 AM

yes it bolts on the R154 tranny.

and I don't think 1J is an expensive engine.
comparing with Honda's B series, even 2J is considered cheap

Project87Supra · 12-28-2003, 11:41 PM

My cousin is looking for a 2 jz. Do you know where he can find one for cheap like you are talking about?

ITAcelica · 01-23-2004, 01:07 PM

In the US the 1JZ is about 800 to 1400 dollers that not including ECU and Harness. But the 2JZ is 2000 to 3000 dollers. And yes only the R154 tranny bolts up thats the 7MGTE (turbo) tranny. I know 2 guys that have the 1JZ in there MKIIIs. they are very fast and very good engines. but you will break your drive shaft if you are two hard on it. I did it and one of my buddys did it.

nasty87supra · 03-30-2005, 05:34 PM

hey guys the r154 tranny doesn't instantly bolt on to a 1jz, you have to swap the bellhousings and the clutch setup is mix and match remember guys 3.0 vs. 2.5 liter displacement this info might not be efficient enough but i also is in the midst of doing this same swap. also if this motor is going into a left hand side driven car you have to extend the wire harness 3-6 feet or you can purchase an upgraded wireharness from suprasport.com plus you must send them your old harness. they also have tuners who can make a 7m wireharness work with a 1jz but you haven't got all the bugs out because you have to worry about fuel cut and all that other jibberish. so i myself is going to install a standalone. you can check out this website for this swap 1jz-gte.us this website cross references the 7m and 1j but you must download some type of adobe reader to see the references. then if you want you can go to yahoo search and type in 1jz manual and you will find a website with some european guys who did this swap into a left hand side driven mk3 and he can take you in depth with this swap plus these are the same gentlemen who make outfitted harnesses for the 1jz on suprasport.com

Nasty, did you just try to bump every old 1JZ thread or what?
Good lord.

nasty87supra · 04-01-2005, 08:20 PM

sorry jeeves i'm in the midst of this swap and a friend of mine put me on to this website and as i was scrolling thru all 34 pages i replied to almost all the 1jz threads without realizing that these threads have some years on them already and i also thought i could learn more about this swap if i replied to them and all in all the canadian side supras have most of the sickest 1jz swaps all the u.s. guys have done this swap successfully but when you read between the lines the u.s. guys did this swap half ass

MkIII_Driver · 04-02-2005, 01:47 AM

ok lets get into a battle over who does the better swap, that is like saying that your cars are cooler just cuz they are from the mother land canada! Dude stay on the subject that we are all here to share our information not to get into a stupid battle over which country does a better F***ing engine swap common grow up.
