It' not for sale anymore

Many years have passed, multiple attempts at giving up and even listing it for sale but no one else was serious enough to finish it. Alot of work down, so very close to turning the key

Sitting on the floor

Over a year and its just been sitting in the corner getting dusty and cobwebs. Making excuses that I'm too busy etc. Decided to make a switch to a vvti version Hilux diff is almost in and can measure up for tailshaft as soon as its in

I sell bolt in 3RZ to KE70 kits, no firewall/tunnel mods

I heartily endorse this event or product

funny i didnt mention it to you

There's doing things and then there is doing things right. A 1jz is a big heavy long engine for a corolla, so you would want a driveline and suspension to be able to match the engine. A hilux diff minimum the cost of buying it, converting it, lsd center, handbrake cables etc, thats over $1000 on its own and thats with drums, disc brakes even more cost. Then a big tailshaft to suit with solid uni's $600ish. A decent fuel system to feed the thirsty 1jz surge tank, pre pump, 044 or similar, custom fuel lines because the inlets on the other side and there aint much room in the tunnel especially if your going auto. Getting close to 3k already. Then you have to get creative with radiator and intercooler setup, you would want some decent brakes and full suspension if you want to be able to stop and turn and then the 100's of small things that go along with conversion that add up soo quickly. Engineering cost? Before you know it your doubling or tripling your original budget. Then once your on the road what about teething problems, all the small pain in the ass figuring out problems that cost. 3k . . . lol at 3k

1jz wagon can be modplated, but you would be stupid to take some guys word off a forum. Best to check with the correct authorities and find an engineer that will confirm he will sign off on it. If its a case of, ive got a ke70 that I got for cheap and a 1jz thats just sitting around even if you do everything yourself and got all the tools its still going to cost 5-8k (thats what I'm budgeting for)

So things are finally happening Tunnel enlarging time Wait . . . What? who put that in there? So I got it approximately 40mm further back than my previous attempt. New mounts suit a AE71 crossmember and also clear a AE86 power steering rack should I wish to install it. Still undecided

haha, yeah man need to stop taking on so much work so I can do something for myself. Definately keen to get stuck into it. Sweet man, still keen to borrow it.

So I'm not sure if you you call removing the standard engine progress, but thats all ive had time for. At least ive marked the beginning of the project finally. Surprisingly quick and easy to pull the 4a out over a 4k. So need to pull the dash apart, need to replace the start of the tunnel for the auto bellhousing. Also going to be deleting the heater and replacing it with a 12v one to give me more room at the back of the engine and tidy up the engine bay a bit.

yeah pretty much a waste of money and time. Better off going 4ac (carby)

looks good, haveent had a car engineered in a while and the last guy i used is apparently retired. He was a cranky old fart anyways. Yeah don't sell it, at least finish it and guaranteed you wont want to sell it after your first drive.
