Maine_TSI Posted September 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 What radiator is that? its a mishismoto 1G eclipse xline..Got dang thats a big tail fan...lol.yeah but dont tell your GF that ever!wheres that fan gonna fit! i know i for sure didnt have room for anything that big!dunno.. it might not but ill deal with that later.. if i can get it to fit i could possibly make a custom shroud to pull from below the radiator also for oil or tranny coolers... that would be nice.cant wait to start seeing pics of these parts in the car. yeah me either! sure has been a long time in the makingif i ever complete this it have a feeling it will be worth it. just upgraded my turbo setup to a 6766dont think i can stay with the stock auto or stock fuel even at the lowest boost setting now like i was planing just to get up and running and see what issues i need to deal with on the car. so its a sweet upgrade and where i wanted to be turbo size long term - but in some ways it will probably slow my progress some with the extra costs of MORE POWER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtmuncher Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 If you have pockets full of money it won't slow u down at all. If Ur like me and are scrounging around for play money then yes, it's gonna set u back a awhile. In the long run it'll be worth it and save u from doing the work twice. In case I missed it, what are u doing for a trans mount? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tranny mount, ill figure somethign out once the motor /tranny are in place, and can take some measurments... and with the new turbo setup, might have to go with a different tranny anyways...

BOHO Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 You completely remove the stock mitsu computer. For reference... I'm running the stock toyota ecu with SAFCII with 550 us spec injectors. At WOT at 15psi I'm running MINUS 24% fuel....which is..you guessed it... the factory 440 fuel curve. I only made 360hp on the dyno with a huge boost leak and 13psi. I would say I'm around 415 now and have all the fuel left for 500+. You can do 450 easy without working the 440's too hard.

Starquest87Jimmy Posted October 26, 2013 Report Share Posted October 26, 2013 How did this go from 2008 to 2013? I am thinking of going real cheap with the 1jz w/ auto trans my self. I know "just do a 2j if going auto." when I get a day I will drive to Orlando and hand pick one out. If I have the money that day I may get a 2 but will be happy enough with the 1. I have a auto quest so the auto 1jz will do just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am thinking of going real cheap with the 1jz w/ auto trans my self. how did it go.... not very well obviously! heh... taking care of 4 kids, work full time and, spousal issues made it impossible.finally trying to make it a reality - but seems to be a battle. i would not do the 1JZ - its a fantastic engine, and revs/flows better then the 2JZbut since it was never here in a car the support/options for it are lessthe 500 bucks you save on Buying a 1JZ vs 2JZ now will disappear when you buy a turbo kitor other upgrades. i would think even cams would be more expensive as less market for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starquest87Jimmy Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 The only differences between the 1jz and the 2jz are the differences of a stroker kit. I have a friend that did a 1jz swap into his Tacoma. The things that need changed out will work from a 2jz. the cams, oil pump, water pump, and even the timing belt can be picked up at auto zone or Toyota.

19cturbo Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 the 1jz timing belt is different.. you can get a 1jz belt at the auto parts store but its for like an 88 isuzu 2.6L or something.. and the cams from a 2j will not bolt direclty in to a 1j, they have to be modified..
