thomo8568 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Was offed a soarer by a guy at work at a real good price. I was starting to fancy a turbo so it came along at right time. I was running nitrous at a 100+shot. With all that removed it has paid for the soarer and some other parts for the swap. My supra The soarer Spent two night stripping the soarer down ready to lift Had the supra mot'd on Thursday. Started to strip it down that night and after work Friday. In the rain on Saturday, me and my little bro started to swap the engines over. NA lump out the supra 1jz out the soarer In the supra 2jz in soarer Got most the 1jz connected up in the supra on Sunday. Just got the exhaust, wiring and and fluids to finish off.

thomo8568 Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 No photos But engine now runs. Had a few first start issues. I for got to put fuel return pipe on. So got fuel all over drive and had swapped the alloy idler pully from the NA on to this and put spacer on wrong. So engine wouldn't turn over. Need to carry out the 12 volt fuel pump mod, As car cuts out after a few seconds. A few bugs to sort with wiring. Oil level, oil pressure engine stop light don't work. But not to bad. say it's my first engine swap and all on done drive. It's bin kinda easy so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomo8568 Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 Will get a video up soon Car is sorted now with everything still working. Taken it out for a few little drives to check it all over. If anyone is thinking of doing this, I would say go for it. Car feels loads faster and sounds better than before. It puts a big smile on my face while driving. Will post up a full wiring guide once I've had chance to up date it. As had to change some wires round as the pin out I got off Internet wasn't 100% right.

thomo8568 Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 I'm so doing this .............If I can get hold of a bloody engine that is It's a good conversion to do. Can work out cheap if you can get a car/engine at the right price, and do the work yourself. I'm really happy with how mine has turned out.

Konrad Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I'm positive you do not have to do 12V mod for pump to work correctly. I've done same conversion and managed to run it through custom harness i made, never had to touch any wires except for pin 27 on orange plug which needed to be earthed to body.

David P Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 With the amount of times this conversion has been done and done again, how can the basic essential information remain a mystery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomo8568 Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) howd you go with your wiring diagram? tryna find out as i will be starting the same project in a couple weeks Wiring was easy mate. Just print off the engine loom to body plug pinout for both engines then match up the connections. http://wilbo666.pbworks.com/w/page/47216384/1JZ-GTE%20JZZ30%20Soarer http://wilbo666.pbworks.com/w/page/41678224/2JZ-GE%20JZA80%20Supra Pm me your email and will send you a copy of what info I have left.
