checking out an 86 mk3 tomorrow

cvbikeguy · 11-21-2009, 03:11 AM

Yea I was looking for a while at 2jz with the 6 speeds. I might just get the 5 speed first and the 1jz. We will see. I'm just look forward to working on a car for once instead of my 4runner

the mileage does worry me tho.

Thank you

The 6 speed won't fit.

I've seen an mkIII with a v160

I should have just said that it won't fit without a decent bit of custom work. Anything can be done; I really just meant to make the point that it's not a direct swap.

EDIT: Actually, going back through my links I can't find any MKIIIs with a V160.... I'm not surprised, the gearbox is about a foot longer than the R154... the shifter will be in the center console's storage bin. Have some links or pics of any that you've seen?

so i got the car today. absolutely amazing. ive always wanted a supra (any year) since i was little so this is kind of a dream come true. barely any body damage. minor paint fading. needs a clutch fan, and just need to replace a few hoses. $700. the only thing i cant wait to do is put in that r154. oh so thank you all for the help. cant wait to start posting up some build threads

freeze plug.
water pump is the wrong size.
vacuum leak on one of the brake hoses.
and a mysterious oil leak from above the water pump (cant see exactly where) that shut down my car todat. felt like it was losing pressure and now it wont start. this car is a fucking pain in the ass. still love it tho.

so with this being said there was only one thing to do........

start taking shit apart.

just started taking the car apart

where is the leak?

grrrr

depressed...

just finished tonight. havnt found anything. i dont want to have to take off the timing belt (never done it before either). but so far i figure its nothing i can get to (at least i think) and i might have to take the engine out. maybe ill do that r154 now. anyone know why my car would have symptoms of a vacuum leak but be leaking oil and steaming/smoking at the same time? i think the steam was mostly from the freeze plug. but the front of the engine still has a little bit of oil on it. ooohhhhhh yea. there was a huge gap in the water pump (since it wasnt the right size) but i wouldnt leak oil right?
