  1. what about if i drop in two in-line Honda CBR 900RR motors (turbocharged of course)??? or i could even put one engine up front and one in the rear and do a AWD setup... what about that???
  2. A little info for ya: multiple engine mounting holes are because front-sump cars such as cressida, chaser, soarer, etc. use different mounting bracket than that of mkIII supra and other mid-sump cars. get rid of the TRC, it only makes the car slower. putting an aftermarket BOV at the stock location is bad. actually, having a stock BOV at the stock location is bad. get it mounted to the IC piping instead. stock turbos will NOT hold up to more than 14psi boost due to ceramic blades coming apart at high boost unless you upgrade the turbo outlet y-pipe. If you look at the stock design, each turbo dumps their exhaust gasses directly at the other turbo, which is what actually causes the stock ceramic blades to crap out. changing out to a better designed y-pipe can allow the stock turbos to put out 18psi (upgrading intercooler is a must though). as for oil filter relocation, you can use an adapter intended for use on a ford motor... the threads are the same. if you install a C's short shifter, you will notice that the shifter is pointed too far towards the passenger side due to japan having RHD. If you intend on using the stock engine wiring harness and still want your ECU in the passenger kick panel, the whole harness needs to be extended 3 feet. make sure you have the resistor box for the fuel injectors. the ones off of a USDM 7mgte or a 2jz won't work with 1jz injectors.
  3. I did a 1jz into a toyota cressida and that was a PITA. 7mgte tranny R154 (5spd. turbo only) will bolt up to a 2jz with use of 1jzgte bellhousing and mkiii supra turbo driveshaft parts. It will hold up to 400hp+, but has a long shifter throw for some people and there is not many options on shortening. As stated before, thrust washer is a big prob on 2jzgte engine and leads to crank walk, all caused by use of heavy duty pressure plate and clutch. Make sure you check crankshaft end-play before you drop in motor. As far as oil pan clearance, you should be fine as long as you use a front sump pan. As far as engine mounts, I suggest modifying your crossmember and using either 7mgte or land cruiser mounts. be careful though as those stock toyota mounts are fluid filled and have a tendency to break/leak. BamaDave: Wanna sell your spare mkiv parts?
  4. I just wanted to post some pics of my cage before I sell it. Just a reference to those that are thinking of having a custom cage built or are thinking of building one themselves. http://pic18.picturetrail.com/VOL876/3266090/8964045/123621701.jpg http://pic18.picturetrail.com/VOL876/3266090/8964045/123621681.jpg http://pic18.picturetrail.com/VOL876/3266090/8964045/123621636.jpg http://pic18.picturetrail.com/VOL876/3266090/8964045/123621622.jpg http://pic18.picturetrail.com/VOL876/3266090/8964045/123621586.jpg http://pic18.picturetrail.com/VOL876/3266090/8964045/123621525.jpg BTW, it is now listed in the "parts for sale" section of this forum.
