Default 1jz-gte lexus sc300 swap pt. 2

Well in part 1, We removed the engine and prepared the car for the installation of the 1jz, but before that we'll have to prepare the 1jz for the car

So here we are with the arrival of our toyota soarer 1jz-gte inline 6, 2500cc (2.5l) twin turbocharged engine along with the r154 transmission. ( for those of us who are unfamiliar with this engine)




First thing we'll do is extend the wiring harness, change the oil, spark plugs aged ignition coil pack clips, install new motor mounts (rubber), rear main seal, perform a compression test and make sure everything is within tolerance before installation ( while we have it out )








this is how the engine came, it's pretty neat trick but we'll replace them


Now that the engine is ready it's time for installation.






It's in !!



The car is running at this point, as you can see the wiring and the cooling system are both completed. It's now time for the charge cooling (intercooler) system which we will be addressing next.






Now the intercooler system. ic=24x12x3 2.75" pipping.




In this stage the intercooler pipping is tricky, there's alot of tweaking that needs too be done. My recommendation is if you can use 2.75" pipping it will make things easier. The 3" inch we used on the 2jz swap was necessary due the power levels that we wanted to achieve but was somewhat harder.



Now we'll install the front bumper, headlights ,charge pipe etc. etc.




Looking like factory


A finish product!
