SUPRA2012 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Hi Just quickly, if I get my hands on either a 3.0 TT or 2.5 Lexus TT, who in and around the West Midlands would be able to drop it in and get it running properly, and what sort of money are we talking?.....Just to get an idea... thanks Billy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham1984 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I thought kerron was about 2.5k all in but I may be and probably am wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRA2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 Hi There are a few Soarers on ebay at the minute, and I am thinking about grabbing one......aside from the tt engine, what other parts can i use on a Supra?....i am guessing: 1 the discs and calipers 2 the shocks What about anti roll bars?

Havard Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I would contact Konrad (member on here). He has put a 2.5TT in his NA and loves it. He doesn't charge much either..!! Keron is also a good bet. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garethr Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) Soarer TT brakes are the same as Supra "J-specs". I know that Supra shock/springs (together) fit a Soarer because that's what's on my auto, but unless you buy a Soarer with aftermarket units they are probably worn out, and they might not sit quite right. Coilovers on a Soarer are probably Supra units anyway. Don't quote me, but I have a feeling that the front ARBs swap, but not the rears because the rear subframes are different, though interchangeable. No point though, because the Soarer is a "softer" car than the Supra. Which reminds me... doesn't the N/A have a "missing" subframe mount? Front control arms swap, although, again, the Soarer bushes seem to be more compliant (and they are usually stuffed). Rear arms (most, anyway) are different, I believe. I'd have thought that anyone who is half-competent with a spanner could swap an auto 1JZ into a manual N/A Supra. It's just nuts and bolts. Wiring and plumbing are the awkward areas.

j_jza80 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 2k+ engine and fitting. Thats 2jz money. If it costs more than £1500 all in its not worth it IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh42 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Keron quoted me £2500 couple of weeks ago for a complete 2JZ GTE swap including TT Auto box and ancillaries? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedrosixfour Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 The engine swap itself is a breeze, very few parts are needed to do the swap, provided the right 1JZ is sourced. A couple of us (myself, HadeS, Littlenum, RyanG, Konrad, Keron and a couple more who's names escape me) have now tackled & completed the wiring end of it with great results. I love mine.

Hi, thats sounds very promising....am I correct in thinking that the only real downside with the 1JZ is that max power is restricted to approx 380 bhp?....not that 380 bhp is too be sniffed at!...I would be more than happy with that..

Graham1984 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Yeah but where are you going to get a 2jzgte engine brought and fitted for under that??? The bit that concerns me is that I have a 5speed manual not the 6speed szr model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPRA2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 why would the power be restricted to 380bhp on a 1J? Hi...its what Ive heard....i guess because its a smaller engine size?...maybe its not true....can anyone advise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Turism0 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Hi...its what Ive heard....i guess because its a smaller engine size?...maybe its not true....can anyone advise? do you mean the stock twin-turbos? There's plenty of guys in the states running 700+hp on stock bottom end, the main thing i've heard of is crank walk but uprating the bearings and adding some ARP studs (which is what I plan to do) will help prevent this.

Iirc crank walk is caused by the 'clutch in, start' feature on US cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPRA2012 Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 i have a complete 2.5TT engine i might sell with turbo's - loom - ecu for £750 Hi, when was engine last run and whats the millage? Is it complete with all the ancils? cheers Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little num Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Yes engine is complete and has been in my garage for 3 months. comes complete so powersteering pump ect is all there. Even coil packs are still fitted. Think the clocks said 124 kilo so would be around 75 thou i think. I sold konrad his engine and helped him wire it up, its quite simple when you know how, I run my 1JZ to about 430ish but thats on turbo technics hybrids. Stock turbos at 1.2 will be around 370 - 380 so your correct in power on stock turbo's. Mine has just been fully rebuilt with new crank and ACL race bearing - ARP bolts throughout and all new parts as in oilpump seals + little headwork.
