My 1JZ Progress pics.

Just a quick preview pic of my 1JZ engine i bought over the winter. Ill be fitting it into my 5 speed N/A which sadly decided it didn't need a crank pulley anymore.

Hopefully i shall be fitting the new engine next week . Iv not gone over board with stripping it down, just done all service items and checked general Component conditions. The only thing that may throw a spanner in the works is the electric side of things but that can wait until its fitted.

I can't wait for BOOST haha.

Here is a before and after pic of the engine.

BEFORE

Looking good be intresting to see how you get on with this build as few mates have said to me i should go for the 1jz rather than na-t

good luck with the build, I did the 1JZ swop, its an excellent motor. the only tough part is the wiring of the electrics, but there are a couple of useful guides on here (especially Konrad's one)

Very very interesting.

To those who did it:

Did you go with the 1JZ engine-loom and ecu or how did you do it? I mean do all the gauges actually work etc.

Another foolish question: is this a dash-out job as the dash loom has to be adapted too or something?

Thanks, Herbert

i used the 1jz ecu and loom and spliced it into the 2JZ N/a wiring inside the cabin (you dont need the dash out, ) just cut the 2jzgte plugs and splice the 1JZgte wiring into it.

Thanks for the comments guys. its been a bit of a mission doing most of the work on my own but hopefully it will be worth it when i turn the key

Nice one these should help me too.

You're damn skippy it'll be worth it!

you wont be disappointed with the power, good engines

To the guys who have fitted the 1JZ with W58. Im unsure about what wires go/leave the gearbox are they needed?

Pics below of connectors.

The one with the wire is the reverse light switch. The other is the speed sensor plug.

Find a wiring diagram for the 1gearbox loom and hook them up!

Got the engine in today. Took a lot of huffing and puffing but managed to get it on the mounts after around 3 hours. Few pics of the effort, had a mate with me to help who decided to pose for some shots.

1jz mk4 Can you add a video when you start it ?

Looks like your mate did all the work... haha

Yea i shall be making a video of the first start .

Gd luck mate I've 1j my na and I won't go back even though it almost sent me to breaking point

Get shot of those twins ASAP though mate as chances are they are shot or not far off

looks good bro, i was happy with the power increase from the n/a, but the twin turbo will soon bore you , so up that bad boy to a single

Cheers guys. Got all the drive train bolted up aswell have sore neck now tho from being stuck under the sup for 1hour lol.

Quick Q. Any idea where these wires go/are for

Anyone?

I'm sure they're not THAT important...

Sorry - that's probably deeply unhelpful!

I think the 1 on the right goes to the alternator ? I may be wrong

The left hand grey one goes to your steering rack. The one I can't tell by the picture, take more!

One thing I have noticed; You look to have used silicone vacuum hose on the water feeds from your turbos to the water neck, (In that pic). You'll have to change that for some proper rubber hose and clips, or you'll have big problems!

Yeah as above back of alternator and steering rack.

Thanks for that very helpful. Yea I know about the water pipes just using them for aesthetic pleasing look haha.

Update starting to see the end now!!

Mocked up the intercooler today Sits a bit low tho haha. I also tested my wiring effort with a turn of the key. All the ignition lights and Sound system worked .

Anyone have any idea where these vacuum hoses go?

Getting there dude, it's going to be good. These are brilliant revvy engines, sound good too.

i want to do this to my n/a just need to find a 1jz
