February 12, 200917 yr Author comment_317624 Mmm that motor looks hot... Put it in ya rolla :lolcry: was thinking about it man just couldnt be :dance: putting it into the car so it will be put up 4 sale when i have it out of the car after i have finished my rolla off Report
February 12, 200917 yr Author comment_317630 sounds heaps cool. who's doing the conversion? I am sir because I have the spare time to do it gotta finish the rolla 1st but rolla is more important so i can drive around again when i get my licence back lol Report
February 13, 200917 yr comment_317860 You're pulling a 2TG out of a TA22 and replacing it with a 1JZ? Why? Oh, and have you actually measured things up to see if a JZ will fit? A TA22 bay is smaller and shorter than an RA23/28 bay, and they only _just_ fit in those. You'll most likely be looking at having to modify the firewall, and that's exxy (and not wise to do yourself if you're not competent) Report

Why not return it to carby? And like I said, measure things before you lock in the decision of a 1JZ. You'll most likely need to do more than just "modify" the radiator support, , and if you decide to do it that way you're going to have a big chunk of engine out in front of the axle-line, as opposed to sitting back if you recess the firewall. What exactly are the plans for this car anyway? Drags, drift, burnouts, track, daily etc? I can only see one, maybe two options there where a 1JZ is actually a feasible and decent option for a xA23/28, let alone a TA22. Report
February 13, 200917 yr comment_317889 Why not return it to carby? Its twin carby already :dance: Report
February 13, 200917 yr comment_317891 Its twin carby already :dance: I just assumed that it was EFI after he said 2TGEU, which is the EFI version. Didn't bother looking back at the pictures Report

Didn't bother looking back at the pictures haha yeah that confuzes people when i say that because thats what the motor is called i know they fit into ta22's with a little modifacation a mate has done one before Edited February 13, 200917 yr by mr ae71 Report
February 13, 200917 yr comment_317932 haha yeah that confuzes people when i say that because thats what the motor is called i know they fit into ta22's with a little modifacation a mate has done one before Get photos. Get tape measure. Do research. And knowing mates, there's a good chance it's actually a TA23/RA23 (superficially little difference, but actually major dimensional changes) Edited February 13, 200917 yr by Hiro Protagonist Report
