Default 1J starter

soooo, i fried my starter motor today, aaaand my friend has a 1j starter off of a '94 supra. will this work for my '89 supra?
and also, how hard is it to replace the starter on the motor?

thanks

if its off a 94, its a 2jz starter. you would have to compare the 2 side by side. as the 1jz wasnt offered in north america i cant look it up on interchange

ok it should fit. after a google search the 7m, 1jz and 2jz use the same starter. the difference is the older 7m starters aren't threaded, so a nut and bolt need to be used.

hopefully! but always a good idea when getting a used starter is a bench test. its better to melt a set of jumper cables than your cars wireing if its gimped
