Has this ever been done? I have a full Soarer 2.5 TT conversion sat here if anyone wants to do something different. £2500 fitted. :search: Dunno if this is a desirable thing to do or not to be honest.

Hasn't Thor done this conversion? I'm sure their Supra at JAE had the Soarer engine in it.

Nope it was the 4.0 L Soarer engine.

Stick it in a NA 5spd... should make an interesting little car... Might make the 5spd last a bit longer as well...

Kinda like a supra 1 and 1/2 ....

The 2.5 (1JZ??) is very tunable. I've seen a couple of 700+bhp Soarers. If it doesnt sell on her i might sling it in out aerotop. :)

I believe there is some talk of using a mix of 2jz and 1jz bits to create a rather nice engine. I can't remember which way round it is though.

1JZ in a MkIV has been done in Australia and the US.

1JZ head on 2JZ block = 1.5JZ. Only worth it if you have already uprated the 1JZ's turbos, I reckon, or perhaps if you use a GE block.

Can't see the point to be honest, now it would be nice to drop a 2JZ into mine:d

Soarers are great cars and very tunable :)

The 2JZ is essentially a stroked version of the 1JZ. A tuned 1JZ would be nice and capable of running a higher rev limit than the 2JZ. Worth thinking of if you were thinking about swapping out an NA engine... not sure it's worth swapping out a 2JZ for one though.

its a more desirable swap if you add a 1jz flywheel and r154 bell housing, then its an easy swap for the manual turbo peeps.
