SLW42 Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Posted February 17, 2009 yeah the 4agte or gze would be nice but i want to do a conversion once not twice man and plus it wouldnt be that hard to get used to just don't drive it like a f with and then all posible dramas could nearly be all gone Quote
KE ping it real Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 What about a 3tgte? Would bolt straight in and have more pop than a gze but more managable than 1j or 2j A happy medium so to speak :wink: Quote
SLW42 Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Posted February 17, 2009 yeah i have tried the 3tgeu but bent valves in the 2tg head(why it's not running now) so i kicked that idea straight out the door Quote
Hiro Protagonist Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 What about a 3tgte? Would bolt straight in and have more pop than a gze but more managable than 1j or 2j A happy medium so to speak :hmm: 3TGTE would be reasonable, but parts are getting rare/expensive, plus they're an old EFI engine when compared to a 4A, which works against it. Something like a CA18DET would be a good turbo medium, except that it's not a Toyota :wink: Quote
SLW42 Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Posted February 17, 2009 i had a CA18DET motor to go into the celica but didnt have the funds!!! plus i have wanted to do a 1J conversion for a very long time i know it sounds extreme but everybody knows there cars and i trust my driving and i only drive like a dick when there is nobody onfront of me for awhile and when there is no posoble way to crash Quote
KE ping it real Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 (edited) when there is no posoble way to crash Mate i hate to be the one to tell you but the above statement is a fallicy There is always a possible way to crash Edited February 17, 2009 by KE ping it real Quote
furryfrog Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 Go the 1JZ they are a good motor, also i crashed with noone in sight *sigh* Quote
SLW42 Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Posted February 17, 2009 yeah true there is alwayz a way to crash just depends on how ok well i will rephrase that then i only flog my cars down the highway Quote
Jason Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 (edited) wow... did you even read what you just posted? Ask yourself a question should I (you) put a powerful engine in a car. I'm more concerned about other motorists really Edited February 17, 2009 by Jason Quote

I'm more concerned about other motorists really Agreed, If thats the attitude then i'm glad i don't live in QLD Quote
SLW42 Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Posted February 17, 2009 dude i only flog my cars on the highway when there is nobody around it isnt people in control of my car is it??????? Quote
Jason Posted February 17, 2009 Report Posted February 17, 2009 (edited) So lets lay this out... You want to put a 1j which can pull over 200 no sweat, into a old rusted car (all old cars have rust carnt get away from it) You want to then push the 1j on the roads where there are any number of unknown variables Then there is your skill level, at 19 it's limited maybe the story would be different if you were a know hi-po race driver but I'm fairly certain you are not, especially with an attitude of "nooo wayyy broooo I'm 2 skilllleezzed to crah" Edited February 17, 2009 by Jason Quote
SLW42 Posted February 17, 2009 Author Report Posted February 17, 2009 jason man listen or read I HAVE NOT SAID I AM BULLETPROOF OR THAT I AM THE MADDEST DRIVER OUT THERE i know there is always room for improvement and yes i understand that, thats y they invented race tracks for that, yes my car has rust, yes i may sound like a dickhead and a typical young fk with but i know i am no micheal schumacker or anything but i am fairly confident on my driving it may change when the 1J is in there but time will tell!!!!! and yes everybody cains or has cained there car down the highway atleast once in there entire life time!!!!

cuzzo Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 (edited) I'm just putting this out there but this 1j idea wont happen. 1) its not legal 2) its expensive 3) millions of other reasons Find someone with a 1jz in their car and ask them how much have they spent on it (including car purchase) Anything with a 1j in it will cost minimum 8K. Either factory installed or converted. Edited February 18, 2009 by cuzzo Quote
tas_ae71 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 id vote 13bt hell a 13b would be quick... for the simple reason of size. 13b would be mounted back a lot further and lower helping the weight distribution. I'm helping out a mate with a 1jz conversion into a gz10 soarer... i can say its a big motor, plus its in a engine bay which is considerably bigger than a ta22. Quote
