max upgrade 7mgte

resurrecta · 08-17-2006, 12:01 AM

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?

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.
