1JZ Swap into an '87 Supra n/a

Dr Tweak · 01-06-2007, 07:29 PM

The front clip...

Pulling the engine...

My in-house bling master Dan polishing the manifold...

Timing belt, water pump, seals and gaskets, and clutch being replaced...

Dr Tweak · 01-06-2007, 07:32 PM

Wiring!

Engine with polished parts installed...

Engine pretty much ready to go in, harness, vacuum lines, etc all installed:

Installing the '89+ crossmember...

My signature "Dr Tweak Pose"....

Installing the engine...

Dr Tweak · 01-06-2007, 07:34 PM

Bolted in!

Engine just about ready to go here. A few minutes later it fired up on the first try... as always

Swapping out the tach...

Changing the pump requires dropping the tank... loads of fun!!!

I've just got a few finished pics left to upload.

Dr Tweak · 01-06-2007, 08:02 PM

Why thank you. Yes I've been doing engine swaps in Toyotas for a long time.

Jaguar · 01-06-2007, 09:23 PM

Looks great. I need to leave the MKIII section before I buy another one.

Dr Tweak · 01-07-2007, 06:02 AM

HEHEH

I'll post up some more pics this coming week of the custom stainless mandrel-bent exhaust I'm building for it.

nice... it reminds me of when i did my swap.. all i gotta say is enjoy extending the wire harness if you decide to do it yourself..

You've got that right, it's a lot of work. If you want to swap and don't want to worry about the wiring, you can always send it to me: http://www.phoenixtuning.com/

Hi Andy! I can't wait to take you for a ride in it!

tissimo · 01-07-2007, 05:17 PM

your stock intercooler piping fit with the 7m fan shroud and aux fans? nice!

Dr Tweak · 01-07-2007, 05:27 PM

No, I had to customize the piping on the passenger side. Thankfully I had some black intercooler piping that was just the right size!

trd-drifting · 01-07-2007, 10:58 PM

Hey this might sound stupid, but is there a vicous fan attached to the motor that fits the 7m fan shroud. what is it attached to etc... As i was going to go electric fans but if i can get a fan that fits the fan shroud i will do this. My 1j is from a jzx81

Cheers

Dr Tweak · 01-08-2007, 04:58 AM

Yes, that's the 2JZGTE water pump and fan setup. There's a list of what you need here: http://www.1jz-gte.us/92Supra8.html

suprahero · 01-08-2007, 07:15 AM

Looking good man. How long did it take you to get it running once you put the motor in the car? I'm currently trying a 1jz swap. My garrett gt35r is suppose to arrive tomorrow. I've got a thread started on SM, but not here. I'm kind of scared about installing the motor, but I've come too far to turn around now. Hopefully I can handle it. Your's looks awesome.

Dr Tweak · 01-08-2007, 12:34 PM

It took me around 4-6 hours, but I do this fulltime. Take your time and you'll be fine. If you need a hand with the wiring, just let me know, I specialize in converting Toyota wiring harnesses.

Doc;

sent you a pm, nice work btw!

Dr Tweak · 01-12-2007, 10:38 PM

Thanks!

Here are the pics of the 3" mandrel-bent stainless exhaust I put together, side by side with what was on there...

I suspect this will flow much better!

odomd · 01-18-2007, 01:34 PM

Wow it all loooks great. I'm also doing a 1j in an 87 na. Was wondering if you had time to help me with a couple of questions? I'll pm ya.

Steady Boostin' · 01-18-2007, 02:43 PM

GYOD!!!!! thats an INSANELY clean install

that polishing looks amazing

MetaL · 01-18-2007, 05:06 PM

How long did it take you for the install? It looks like you guys really moved through every process with no difficulties, very nice.

Dr Tweak · 01-18-2007, 09:07 PM

Well I really took my time, I think that it was around 5 or 6 days of work including building the exhaust, something like that. Total downtime was longer since we spent a little time waiting on parts like the exhaust, which wasn't originally planned.

larva_pro · 01-31-2007, 01:29 PM

Hello i Have a Supra, the 7m-ge non turbo, and i want to do the swap for the 1jz, my question is, the transmition that i have works for that engine??? my transmition is manual.

and where is the best place to buy a engine, beside Ebay.?

ranger2339 · 01-31-2007, 01:33 PM

ebay is the only place!!

Steady Boostin' · 01-31-2007, 01:33 PM

you need a R154 not the W58 you have now

you can go to Jarco, JHOT, Driftmotion theres lots of places

i personally prefer JHOT
