Awesome job mate, when you get chance could you post up what you had to change/issues you had? I'm undecided on what route i want to go NA-T with TT pistons or 1JZ with a single lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lude Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 i think i would prefer a 1JZ over a NA-T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Turism0 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 i think i would prefer a 1JZ over a NA-T Agreed however it's the cost/hassle that i'm trying to weigh up, as i'm going to go single on the 1JZ there's very few quality top mount manifolds around from what i can see.

welshbuddy Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 you will have fun with the wiring with the 1jz both ways are costly as you got to change the 1jz parts, belts, pumps fluids................Downpipe Fuel lines.... quite a long list.

Oddball87 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 If i find the time i will make a thread on how to do it. Or you could give me a few pounds and i will fit for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little num Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 You say you changed the downpipe is there any reason for that as the soarer pipe is a direct fit and so are the fuel lines. Only thing i had to change from 2jz was the engine mounts. I have since changed the fuel line to a braided as i have fitted a FPR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't change the down pipe used the Soarer one, not sure what welshbuddy ment by that. The fuel damper on the Soarer was a bit short so we used a 2JZ Damper. Will get a picture up to show you what i mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbuddy Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 yeh my bad, i meant Got rid of the n/a downpipe for the soarer downpipe. What about the wiring though little num ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little num Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Done it easy, and i helped konrad do his. The only wiring i didnt do was wire the engine temp up as i have my own gauge thats alot more accurate then the stock unit. The fuel dampner restricts the fuel alot and when wanting to get around 400hp you will need to remove that and get a pipe made up. I take it you had 440cc injectors fitted on the vids you posted up due to the smoke and slight missfire until warmish. Also did you do any engine upgrades whilst the block was out as in oil pump - new bearings ect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
