max upgrade 7mgte

resurrecta · 08-16-2006, 01:35 AM

that's 153 thousand... I'm guessing

... Even, if I knew the disadvantages of the 1.5JZ and how to construct it (what exact parts) I could even consider ditching my 7m too.

1.5jz swap will cost $5000+ and you will still have less hp then my 7m, a lot less.

a 1jz, 2jz or 1.5jz(a combo of the 1j and 2j motors) are stronger platforms to build off in stock form. 7m is very capable of producing 800+rwhp. What are you goals?

Well, the goal is simple. To get the car as fast as it can. But... Of course, weight plays an important part in it. However, it's not only about speed, it's also about stamina. What use is a car if can't last because of over-performance.
That's why I figured hitting a 1.5 JZ would be the most useful to start from...

Whats your budget?

resurrecta · 08-23-2006, 12:29 AM

My budget doesn't matter really. I'm even considering a 2JZ full swap. But what I don't know is... Can my 5-speed car be turned into a 6 speed when upgrading to a 2JZ? and what do I need to pull it off.

Plus like, I was watching a show on the discovery channel (gimme a break) and they were replacing something what we call the "bridge" in our language. It's like the main bar supporting the frame... And they removed it, replaced into full aluminum. This saves alot of weight... But could it be done for an MKIII?

You would probably have an easier time saving up and buying a mk4....but maybe not. Ive heard it cane be done, But you have to cut/weld or bang out the trans tunnel, Which may mess with your interior. But the 5 speed seems fine and is plenty strong. There is a lot of work involved just to get 1 gear.

That's seems to be a pitty. Allthough I've been hearing about the v160 (from the MKIV) being fit in easily to the MKIII... Maybe someone could confirm it.

Amen to that brother!

why do all that work for a 6th gear that just coasts the speed... makes no sense to me anyways.

supra90turbo · 08-23-2006, 01:06 PM

not to mention any rear end ratio offered in an A70 is too high for the V160's final drive, completely defeating the purpose of switching. Unless you like rowing....

There is literally TONS of information on building a 1.5JZ, all you need to do is search.
Also, don't answer if you don't know. Plain and simple.

Good to see you Duane. We need more smarties!
