7m on life support

bryanf89 · 07-25-2010, 02:36 PM

@btwilson86. I was thinking of taking my ds to machine shop and letting them cut the output shaft to acommandate the length of the longer v160. You think its a good idea? Yeah the exhaust i could always weld on, but that would be my last resort, i dont like welds. I still wants to use my apexi air filter, i seen a thread on supraforums about air filters and the apexi came out on top

@wstanek, i didnt want to fuck him up, i wanted to burn his place down to the ground, so his crook ass would be a broke ass

AFAIK, yes on the DS (with the R154, no with the V, with the V I believe you need a custom built DS); No on the exhaust; No on the Apexi (you'll need a different filter adapter and last I checked they weren't available individually); Fitting the V160 isn't easy, definitely not a straight drop in. There are a couple people on SM and SF who've done it with a good amount of time and custom work to get the shifter relocated... it's doable, but I don't know that I'd consider it worth the time... just one more shift to make and the gear ratios of 1 and 6 aren't much further apart IIRC.

Additionally, Unless there was already something massively wrong (coolant blockages, low oil, etc.) I doubt he managed to wreck everything in one joyride.

With the filter get a "universal" AEM DryFlow filter. Just as good as the Apexi (possibly better) and less expensive, then (if needed) just get a filter adapter off eBay.

My exhaust, i cant lose my exhaust i spend almost a gran for the complete setup, ill make it work lol. The place im taking it to does custom machine work, im sure they can come up with something to keep the apexi. Since its a twin turbo, does that mean it requires 2 filters.
Yeah you right, ill stick with tje r154 and keep the V as a spare. Can the r154 handle the engine? Yeah the engine would overheat on the highway and had other minor problemz before i took it to him, he just made it worst.

man sounds like your throwing allot of money at this problem.

good luck with your garage.

bryanf89 · 07-26-2010, 01:32 AM

I have no other choice green7m, its that or nothing. I work at the garage, so its no problem leaving stuff there. Since im going to be doing a swap instead of rebuilding, might as well go big.

Green7mgte · 07-26-2010, 11:29 AM

i heard the cost of putting a 2jz into an mk3 was about the cost of buying a 1jz and a 2jz engine combined. maybe I would just look for an mk4.
the 7m is a platform for allot of power, keep in mind.

there is also a guy here in the For sale section of the forum that has 1jz and 2jz front clips for sell. maybe look at his prices, probably work with you on the shipping and overall cost.

bryanf89 · 07-26-2010, 03:24 PM

No way dude, maybe out there it is. I know the guys and since I could I pick it up myself, I'm getting a price of $2000 for the twin turbo vvti, clean with about 55,000miles imported.
