hackin_n_bashin Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 JC JC!! What are you looking for? Budget? There is soooo much help on here it's unreal at times, but be warned, the search engine is your new best friend, and stay away from Ed's rag!

Jamesc183 Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 ahaha thanks guys! Im hopefully buying an N/A manual 5 speed this weekend. Coming from the world of Honda's with previous experiance in swapping an engine and boosting it and what not. Without hitting that search button is there any way a 1JZ conversion would be possible? My brother has a Soarer and its sooo cool! lol. Budget wise after i buy the car im looking at spending about 1500/2000 on getting the engine converted if its at all possible.

Ross C Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 1jz fit in ok. The 1uz-fe would be my conversion choice though. There is just something about saying "I own a V8 Supra" Welcome to the club anyhow mate and use the search button to find all you need to know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dim Sum Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Ok thanks mate! naaaa i wanna go with the legendary JZ engine ahahahah! Is my budget realistic? Budget seems realistic but i would increase it to maybe £2000,00 - £2500,00. Always good to have more money for unexpected problems. - - - Updated - - - Oh yeah welcome to the forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesc183 Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) Ok Thanks for the replys guys. Ive had my car now for a few days and am already planning on the conversion im stuck between a 1J or 2J? Also in regards to difficulty between the two swaps does it vary?
