Virgin MKll - 83 all stock, ready for 2JZ
 

My friend in Oklahoma who owns a Dyno shop, emailed me and gave me the thumbs up to have my blue 83 MKll all stock ready for engine swap, a 2JZ (turbo). Question: any of you folks out there (MKll owners) had this job or project done to your toy? Just needing some info.

Good luck, You can find all the info here http://forums.celicasupra.com/forumdisplay.php?f=16, If I were you I would start reading now. Good luck on the wiring as well, that will be the hardest part. The charge circurt is fu*ked on the 83, if you had an 84, 85, 86, it would have been easyer. A 7mgte is all you need, it's fast and cheap to get on the road. Just so you know have at least $7,000 for this swap. More if you rebuild the JZ before installing.

i read about 10k for the wiring of a 2jz twin turbo swaped into the mk4 and thats the same base... but i would think it would cost about the same unless you do it yourself, which would be the way to go.
