This Sucks!!

ZauggIt1 · 12-24-2006, 11:01 PM

Well friday night i was out crusing around and i was on my way home. I left a stoplight and i heard a high pitch noise, i turned the radio off, then it made a knocking noise. I pushed in the clutch and the motor just died instantly. I tryed to let the clutch out to start it, but it wanted to lock up the rear end. THe motor is gone, wont turn over or nothing. the worse part is that we were just under a 1000 miles on the new motor. and i wasnt even beating on it. just driving home. So we decided today that we are going all out on it. ITS GETTING THE 2JZ. if we can find one. does anyone know were i can get all the instructions on putting a 2jz in a 87 turbo?? or does anyone even know were i can find this motor. i dont care how much it cost me. we want this motor. I think??? lol. Or would we just be better off with a 1jz. or goal is to get something we can find more aftermarket parts for, and be just a little more reliable. Tell you want, nothing like pissing 5,000 dollars down the drain in 10 seconds of driving, ive never felt that pissed. any ways, i appreciate all the help guys, and girls. Merry christmas to all the supra owners!!

I feel your pain. I had the same thing happen, except I didnt even get drive it 1000 miles before I had to change motors. I quickly realized I got screwed when the people who supposedly rebuilt my motor were no longer there.

stick with 2jz if possible or go with 7mgte cause it would be easier to install. this forum isnt big on swaps so check some other forums.

big news for chicago supras

effective next month, all cars 1995 and below are exempted from emmisions

so go ahead, and go all out on the swap, screw usdm engines, with thier power robbing egr, and emissions parts

dont even waste your time looking for a usdm 2jz, cuz most of them arent even from a supra, they get it from an aristo, which has diffrent parts, than the 2jz from a supra, jus get a jdm 2jz

ZauggIt1 · 12-25-2006, 06:43 PM

A usdm 2jz would be ideal. If you get a jdm 2jz you'll most likely find an aristo. I think you might be typing backwards?

just a thought. Do you want to go with 2j for the reason that there is very few mk3 2j supras on the road, or for the power potential? I say this for reasons you probably allready know (price of swap on 2j vs same amount of money aplied to a 7mgte). I think the outcome would be greater with the 7m. What is your whp goal with the 2j? for as much money, I think it would be safe to say you could have at least 500 reliable whp on the 7m. Just a thought. If I was going to install a j series motor I would use 1j because it is much more compatible with the mk3.
Good luck.

ZauggIt1 · 12-27-2006, 12:12 AM

well, money isnt an issue here. i dont care if it takes us a year to get it done. i want one of the nices and quickest mk3 around my area. yeah, i know, it wont be the fastest. i just want a bad ass supra. i was guessing around 15,000 just for the motor swap. i can do all the work myself. thats not an issue. but, want i want to know is, do they bolt right in? what all do i have to do for getting it to run? wiring harness? drivetrain, will the 7mgte trans work?? is there enough room in the engine compartment for this motor. and also, i have hard that the 2jz is just a better built motor. i want a motor that can hand a good beating. i wasnt even beating on my 7m when it blew, i was just driving it. I dont want to put a motor back in my car that has been rebuilt twice. Its just not my way. yeah, something failed on the bottom end, but still, i just dont want to put the same block, or even motor back in the car. I WANT A FASTER SUPRA!! FASTER IS ALWAYS BETTER!!! but will it be more realistic with a 1jz? and what exactly is the difference with a usdm and a jdsm motor? thanks again for all the feedback guys!!
