1jzgte Swap

SC Rydah · 04-25-2009, 03:32 AM

Yeah the GTE is FAR cheaper than building a GE into a turbo motor. Do you know all the parts that make a GTE what it is as opposed to a GE? Crazy parts to make it reliable.

I suggest you find a 7MGTE, and swap your GE for it. MUCH LESS HEADACHE. I was gonna do the same thing, but I was told by numerous others who tried it to do the swap instead, but I have a 90. So the mounts for the 1JZ are there. I just have to worry about wiring and drivetrain.

The wiring for the 1JZ isn't that hard really as long as you take the time like I did and put in new harness plugs instead of soldering the connections for the four plugs you have to replace. I just bought some harness plugs that had enough pin holes to work and then bought the pins and did mine that way. As for the main engine harness you don't have to extend it you can always use the tuck like most people do it helps keep the integrity of the original harness.

Well, it will be a while before I could turbo the car or do a swap. I will be setting a side money whenever I can to do this this project. I will also have to find a second car before then, as the supra is my only car right now. If it looks like it might be cheaper to do a 7mgte swap, I just might.

Thanks for the tip. Me & my friend used to argue about this topic. But I'm on GTE right now.
