Yea, just nip down to your local wrecker and pick up a 2JZ-GTE, buy two just incase, and bolt it straight in!......Dream on mate!

Ummm idnt that a completely diffrent engine... is in ones a v6 and the other is a straight?

The mounts wouldnt even line up...

[Silent Knight]

1G and 2J are both Straight 6...

Tezza didn't come out with a V6.

The only one with 'the mounts' is the is300. Need the is300/gita crossmember to be able to run the 2jz in an is/rs200

Tezza didn't come out with a V6.

yeah, not that model one. Apparently the new ones do.

[TTEETT]

The 1G is a straight 6 2ltr, with the FE head meaning it’s an economy engine.

To do a 2JZ-GTE conversion would be major, it’s near imposable to find one let alone come up with the $10k to purchase one. You will also need a new rear end, completely new fueling system, all the wiring nightmare and various fabrications to make it all fit, and then you’d have to go about certifying the whole lot. I would be surprised if you’d get any change from $20k and that’s after the initial out lay to purchase the car in the first place.

Would be an awesome car though! …..goes off into a day dream about sh*ting all over Mitsubishis and Subaru’s….



ps The New "Altezza" IS250/350 both run a V6

Putting a 2J in an Altezza would cost you nowhere near 20K if you know what you're doing...

And who in their right mind would pay 10K for a 2J?

Ok, well you point out where to find one.

And yes it would cost in the vicinity of 20 grand Mr. Know it all, I have a folder full of info (quotes, supply invoices, ect) to prove it.. I know what I am doing, Im not going to post up Bullshat now am I.

Calm down buddy.

How much of the work are you doing yourself for this to cost in the vicinity of 20k?

[Chickenman]

20k?

Wth that kind of money you could put 2 of the suckers in there.. or fully rebuild the standard engine with a huge turbo on the side and a polished alternator

[Mr Revhead]

$10k will get you engine, box and ecu etc.

[TTEETT]

I find it very amusing when people make statements about things they know nothing about.

The amount of work needed do the lot and get it certified blew me away too! My figures are very accurate as I have investigated the possibility of this conversion for some time. And in the end decided it was too costly ($18,750) to justify.

That figure is based having the job done properly by professionals, meaning everything works (aircon, cruse control, dash lights, Speedo bla bla) and the finish performed to a factory standard, not im my garage, the car was not a “old school wagon “ it was a 2001 Lexus.

Im not a steel fabricator, mechanic, or an auto electrician, as im sure some of you may very well be.

[Silent Knight]

That would be a complete running motor with remote shift box, full loom and ecu for 10K easy...

I can probably see how you can manage to clock up almost 19K for the conversion if all you are doing is dropping the car and the engine/tranny etc off in a workshop and just have them do everything required to get it running. Mechanic will be able to rape you 3 ways from Sunday with labour costs.

[Mr Revhead]

yep $10k would be all main parts to do the conversion.
theres always silly little things that happen

I find it very amusing when people here assume other people know nothing.

So 20k for a drive in drive out job sounds about right. But definitely be able to cut that cost down alot if you did some of the work yourself.

[offensive]

have u minus'd the value of the 1g, ecu, etc ect you would have left to sell after the install? dunno how much u could get with that engine.

[RomanV]

dunno, are they iron block or alloy?

I dont know how much scrap merchants charge for each.
