stupid fast Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 ok guys ive been debating if i should do the swap with 4 options: -built the g54b w/r154 tranny-4g63 w/ r154 tranny-1jzgte-2jzgte my budget is 4000 and i do have some connection for parts and a fresh race prepped r154 tranny at my work place http://www.marlincrawler.com/transmission/rebuilt-complete/r154-2wd-race and another hookup at Driftmotion.com for JZ parts. my question is, is it do'able to do the 1j or 2j for under 4k or am i better off just building the g54b (have a spare motor on the side). im very new to starion stuff but very familiar to the 4g63 but more likely leaning towards the g54b then the 4g63 swap. any input or comments would help me out OH! and horse power goals are 450+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vettekiller593 Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 (edited) You can do a 2jzgte swap for 4k depending on what you want to do to it. Keep the stock twins and fuel injectors and ecm and you can do it. I love mine! Edited December 14, 2010 by vettekiller593 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supturbo Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 (edited) 4g63 would probably be the easiest - straight forward 450hp easy on stock bottom1jz - tad bit different you will have to fab things but you can get everything for around $2000(complete swap)- you will spend money on misc crap2jz - probably better bang for your buck but same rules apply for 1jzg54b - 450 hp - its like this "cube inch or cubic buck" you can do it but for under 4k and be reliable is questionable.......mpi/standalone/misc supporting mods I bought a complete 1jz swap for $1800 - sold the tranny to a cressida guy paid 650 for it bought an r154 for 300. Walbro/intercooler-misc piping/time/and emailing the hell out of MATT/supporting mods ~280(1j)hp ---320(2j)hp drop in.Its up to you really - I personally would not throw money at the g54b- as the $$/hp is not worth it.

Confuzd Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 My opinion is the G54B is not worth the time and money. Ive had a conquest since I was in High School and always had problems. No doubt I love the car and it was a good first car but the motor is not worth the time and effort put into them. I just bought a 2jz for mine and within the next couple weeks should be getting started on my project. I say go 4g63 or 2jz... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stupid fast Posted December 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 (edited) i will be getting a 2jz in about a week cause i have to get rid of a 2zzge that i had picked up for my mr2 project. where is everyone buying they're 1j 2j from? i know there are a couple of jdm engine places online that will do free shipping but not very sure about the quality of the motor if compression is all there and if its missing parts.

Convette Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 don't waste your time with a stock trans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psu_Crash Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 HATERS!! I'll throw my G54 vote out there. Sure it can be frustrating and a serious pain in the tail. But if I wanted a supra, eclipse or vette I'd have one The challenge is half the fun of these cars imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Dont Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 (edited) G54b's are easy to make power with up to 300hp on tbi. The combo of parts are out there to make good power reliably and to run 13 sec quarters. Edited March 22, 2011 by Scotty Dont Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's way more satisfying when your sohc junk motor toasts some evo or gnx that's supposed to be fast. Worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
