Rowlze Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Got a 1991 Toyota Aristo MK1 that I'm taking the GTE engine out of to put into my MK4 Supra GE. I don't think I will have the time to put the GE engine into the Aristo so i'm wondering if anyone would be interested in parts from it. If not, the car will be scrapped I guess. PM me if you need anything. Also let me know if this shouldn't go in this thread. Thanks, [ATTACH=CONFIG]224822[/ATTACH] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Massey Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Is the car sound? How much for the shell complete without the engine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Massey Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Oh and the engines aren’t a straight swap due to the sumps and a few other bits. Not sure if you knew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Yeah you're into a world of hurt wit that swap, also a shame to waste another Mk1 Aristo. **Says the man who's broken a few ** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowlze Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share Posted January 19, 2018 The car is sound as i know, there is a scratch on the rear bumper but that's the only exterior damage i know of. PM me your email address and I'll send over some photos. No, i need to make up or buy the first section of the exhaust as it's different. Do you know if I can take the sump off the GE and put it on the GTE? It'll be fun. Hopefully ready for summer! I know another Aristo gone RIP. I need the space. I've been thinking about what I'd rather, Supra or Aristo ... Supra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowlze Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 Chris some Aristo swap info... http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?235308-Aristo-2JZ-into-a-Supra Thanks for that. What would you think would be a sensible price for the shell including the gearbox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowlze Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 Just read that thread ^, the Aristo I have is complete and has the non-vvti 2JZ which is going into the GE Supra. The changes as far as I understand are: Sump which I'm hoping can be interchanged from the GE engine I have over the the GTE engine to fit over the subframe. Engine mounts which I also hope to change over with the engine The loom, or parts of it. 1st section of the exhaust Anything else im missing. Why does the water pump need to be replaced?

Swampy442 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Aristo's use a really clever, ECU controlled hydraulic cooling fan, Supra just uses a dumb viscous drive unit. Another reason why you'll have wiring/warning issues. And the ABS is totally different, Aristo uses a nitrogen accumulator powered combined ABS/TRC/Brake unit whilst a Supra has a traditional master cylinder so you'll have that to overcome too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowlze Posted July 23, 2018 Author Share Posted July 23, 2018 Would anyone swap a GTE for a complete Aristo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 You'd be better off selling the car and importing an engine, they're getting very hard to find Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowlze Posted July 24, 2018 Author Share Posted July 24, 2018 What do you reckon the car would go for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Its tough to value, theres basically none left, but that doesn't mean they're expensive. Suppose you could just value it on the engine alone because thats probably what someone (like you did) would buy it for. More pics/info? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowlze Posted July 25, 2018 Author Share Posted July 25, 2018 Are we still on with this Al? I need to know before I make any rash decisions with this. Either I take the engine out and give it to Hidden Performance to transplant. Don't think I will need the engine loom as I need a manual one. so that can be sold along with the diff and TT auto box and the shell / interior parts / wheels / brakes ... Or sell it.
