1Jz Going Into Ae-71, Does Anyone Know This Car?

[tuntown2]

Hi everyone,

 

I'm in the progress of getting the engine into the AE71 corolla, but so far the problem is the engine cross memeber.

 

The 1jz engine sump just right in the way and blocking the steering rack.

 

Friend of mine sent me this photo a while ago, does anyone know this car? number plate XVL247

 

If you know this guy could you please intro to me? PM me

 

Because I want to find out how he did it, I'm in the hurry to sort out this engine conversion problem at the moment,

 

PLEASE HELP ME >__<

 

 

or If anyone else knows how to fit a 1jz into the AE71, could you please help me?

 

 

 

many thanks

 

Henry

Not the same car but same engine swap. You'll need to register if you're not already a member.

hi thanks for your reply, I actually spoke to the guy who own that panelvan, he told me to lower the corssmember and modify the engine's mount, leave the crossmember as it is, .........but......i still couldn't get it work......

Why not go a dry sump and scavange pump setup maybe? Have you got any pics?

[styler]

Dry sumps are about $4000 for a basic setup and then you have to get it to actually work

which is another story, some motors have front/mid/rear sumps from factory and oil the pumps

to suit the sump, might be worth looking into that?

[oh what a nissan feeling!]

^^^ what he said, there are two sumps available for the jz engines, a front and a mid from memory.

Apparently I need to get a front sump for the 1JZ to get away with this problem, so right now might look for a front sump and figer cross

[tuntown2]

$4000 dry sump.........not my choice at the moment, but it's really interesting to know, gona goolge it now

i put a rb30 in my ke20 had same problem we just made a hole new crossmember go around the sump and made it thick out of box tube worked a treat

[tuntown2]

waoo~ a hole new corssmember, hmmm do you have a picture for it? and did you also made a new engine mounts for it?

What we did is cut the crossmember center out sat motor in where we wanted it and made new center part of crossmember around sump

engineers in NSW do NOT like you modifying the crossmember.

Have a chat to 1jz rolla from the toymods link, and ask which version jz sump he used. Most likely you just have to get the right match of sump to fit the engine in.

As a few people have said you need to track down a a front sump set up off a 1JZ to make it work with out major mods. Do a little more research and see if you can track one down, not easy to find seperated from a 1jz but see how you go.

The soarer sump and the chaser sump are different but I cannot remember what one was which, I think the soarer may have been the front sump.

JZZ30 sump is mid/rear, JZX100 is front.
