kaotiq Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 Ok guys, its time for my engine swap but i do not know where to go. I called SP engineering and even then with their hook up price, they wanted to charge me $10,000 for just labor alone. Im not kidding. LABOR ALONE. i have another shop in mind but they wanna charge $3500 which is not bad. If anyone else knows another shop that does JZ swaps please lemme know asap! thank you!

ikrshinji Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 Hi Is that for the 1jzgte swap or the 2jzgte swap. Let me know how it turns out cuz I'm gonna potentially swap one of those engines in. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stocksc3 Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 is it better to swap the engine or to just bolt on a turbo? i have a lot of miles on my car (108) and i've been told that is nothing cause these cars run forever if you treat them right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC400SunDevil Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 whats a 1JZ and a 2JZ, Are they just aftermarket or Supra motors? Just a bit curios. Thanks -Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaotiq Posted September 10, 2003 Author Share Posted September 10, 2003 can anyone please stick to my question here??? im asking for recommendations not off topic questions BUT to answer some, the 1jz and 2jz are twin turbo motors. The 1j is the JDM 2.5 liter true twin turbo found in the soarer, chaser, and mk3 supras while the 2jz is the 93-99 supra sequential twin turbo motor. the SC300 can run forever if you change out the lil things here and there. I know of a guy whose SC300 original motor is going onto 300,000 miles. A lot of ppl have over 200000 miles. But its all about replacing parts here and there. As far as turbo goes, its your own judgement call. The 2jzge (our stock motor) has tons of power potential. Im just swapping cuz i want a new platform to work with. im sure someone can back what im saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC400SunDevil Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 I was pretty off topic when I asked the difference between the 2 motors when the topic was about engines. I was just curious about the 2 since I hear so much talk. The forum isn't stricly about the topic at hand, in fact most good discussions are made by going a "little bit" off topic.
