Thanks sup....your my hero...I got my plates in today. I'm going to beat on the trans tunnul tomorrow and maybe get this thing set in the car..

Thanks again...

Which plug do the guages come off of. My r154 has no manual speedo..so getting aftermarket tach and speedo...but planed on using the other stock guagues if possible. oil press..temp and volts....Thanks man.

For some reason, I find this hilarious:


Anyways, looks like it should be coming along well once you get the wiring figured. Good luck bud.

Do these look familiar? MadDax's drawings work perfect for the 1jz also... I also finished the intercooler bracket...but I have to cut on the support to get the bumper back on...

[BOHO]

For informations sake. Most US spec cars use 3/4 16 thread pitch on their oil filers. Toyota used 20mm 1.5 which is very similar. I'm using an oil filter relocation kit. The 3/4 16 dye is more available and pretty cheap 11 bux at fastenal... So half is 20mm 1.5 and the other half is 3/4 16 but the adapter kit won't know the difference. This is the easiest solution I could come up with. The metric dye was more expensive and would have taken 2 weeks for me to get it.

All of the studs that I researched were too short...This seems like the only option...or my research skills are weak... : )

I want to try and make this as informative as possible. I'm going to update this as I go along...but Here is a picture of the ECU wiring that is needed...This info is from supturbo who has already done a swap. I don't want credit I'm just posting the info  

These are the ECU plugs from the chaser and early soarer. The 2 plugs on the left are from the engine and most of the time come with the engines..just plug them in...The other 2 will most of the time be missing. I got my plugs from phoenixtuning.com as others have mentioned.

I'm going to do everything like this...color coordinated with pictures etc... Hope it helps any future swaps.

With this intercooler I didn't need to beat or cut the frame rails...But I did have to cut and hammer on the bumper support.

[BOHO]

Well...I was going to drop the motor in and wanted to take the transmission off first so that I knew the mounts were good...I can't get this f'n tranny off...Its like 1 inch off the block and now its not going anywhere...wt.......I just spent an hour prying..hitting..bleeding over this damn thing...i need a break before i start throwing crap......

[pure_insanity]

i gotta do it........   did you take all of the bolts out?   lol.

seriously obviously you did or you wouldnt have gotten it an inch off the block.  its an auto right? sounds like your losing the angle and its not coming straight back to slide off the torque converter.

Its the R154 5 speed.

Your probably stuck on the pilot bearing it will pull out of the flywheel if you keep pulling.

yes. i got a feeling this is the case.  lots of times where the input shaft protrudes thru the pilot bearing, it will get a little touch of surface rust or something on the back side and since the bearing is such a precision fit, it wont come back thru there.  at least not untill you wiggle the pilot bearing out of the flywheel.  good luck.

Did some work this morning. Swapped out to the External shifter...New trans mount...modded trans bracket...


I found this for a good price. Its a stand alone fan controller...very simple..very cheap. Turns fans on over 170...then back off..has override circuit etc. Basically same price for everything that I've found just 2 12" fans...65$...Just thought I would make things simpler.


Oil Filer relocation kit...I D***** up the f'n bolt...I've to come up with a plan B..My threads came out crooked.

[pure_insanity]

so did you get the trans apart from the motor?

[vettekiller593]

I dont think your going to fit 2 12" fans unless you put them as a pusher on the outside of the radiator.

[pure_insanity]

they will fit if he puts them staggered. one top left and one bottom right. or vice versa. thats what i run, so i know for sure it will fit.

You have that with a 2jz swap?

[BOHO]

Vette,

You are correct..I wasn't thinking before I got it...I'm only going to be able to run one of them...It would fit in a perfect world but...this isn't...Even if I made them pushers the oil cooler and Intercooler are in the way...I should have gotten 10"....

I didn't get the trans apart..I gave up for a while at least....

I don't want to talk about it...but...I got this to work   Pipe adapter and a Chrysler oil filter stud...

[vettekiller593]

Yea i have been through the fan thing thats why i said something and i could have fit a pusher and i left enough room to but my 2 10's work fine. So i put a 4" intercooler in instead .

[BOHO]

Yeah, Thanks for the heads up. I'm thinking the 1 12 will be good for a while. I might try and get one on the other side but I doubt it. I tried to set the motor in and my angles were off for the mounts...I'll try somehting else and maybe I can get this thing set in tommorow.
