  1. Awesome, thanks for the info guys! I'll probably post here before I purchase just to be sure. Went to do some black friday "man shopping" at the local yard where they had all parts 25% off! Got a 1uz with a full harness for 225 bucks!! Now I'm in need of a w58 or r154 tranny so I can go ahead and get my plate made!
  2. ok guys so my swap is under way and i have some questions about the different programs that megasquirt offers. I know there are different options for running boost or n/a. Theres just so many different things they have to offer and i have no idea on which one to run. I know they have a great product i just have no experience in running an aftermarket unit like these. what are some of your experiences with your programs? any additional info would be awesome!! let me know what you guys think!
  3. My point exactly yokomo, thank you for your dedication and inspiration for the swap

  5. Yeah you'd have to move the firewall back 4 inches for it to fit haha
  6. I've seen them done in several quests and tons of other cars. It taking him a year was him taking some serious time and effort to work through the odds and ends and finding the correct way to every step. People like him help the process go alot faster by the things they have found out on there build. His post alone covers basically everything you need to know about the whole swap
  7. I'm sure you could. But while installing the new harness it would be worth it to install some sort of piggyback for the extra 2 or 300 bucks just so you know everything is working the way it should.
  8. They fit pretty snug in the engine bay. As far as I've researched they are just like every swap with having to build custom mounts and driveshafts. Plus wiring in your megasquirt or whatever you choose to the harness. It's just the engine is alot cheaper and easier to come by then a 1 or 2jz, 4g63, etc... As far as performance parts, you are still going to pay just as much for any aftermarket parts. And there's tons of companies now making supercharger and turbo kits for these things
  9. He'll yeah they do, I found a vid of the actual race version of the engine on an open wheel car. Immediately after that I had to clean my keyboard... Lol
  10. It shouldnt take that long, and i have enough gear to ride and be warm in the winter but being the Michelin man on my bike isn't exactly ideal. I figure if I have the engine and tranny in a couple days. Have my buddy wire in a megasquirt unit which should take a couple a couple days. And I can have my own mounts made in a weeks time it should take just under three weeks depending how busy I am at work.
  11. If I could afford a jz I would have one, they sound sooooo amazing! I have a hard time picking between the sound of a huge cam v8 or a jz. But the perks of a 1uz is you can get them for less than 500 bucks! And I can get tranny's for cheap all day long. If I manage to find a jz for that cheap I'd change my plans to that immediately!
