MX83 Grande with Jza70 Auto

[nemesis86]

Hi people,
i've read a few threads on various forums about putting a 1jz box into a mx83 grande and im confused

some say change the tailhousing others say that it can be wired up to suit the mx83 with every function working including the ABS, speedo etc

the car that the 1j is going into is my mother and fathers and they wish to have the ABS still working along with the speedo and the box selecting all 4 gears.

So i need to know whats the best way of achieving this

if need be i can get pictures of the 2 auto boxes
As mentioned above in title the 1j box is out of a jza70 if it makes a difference

Thanx again guys,
Ivan.

The JZA70 autos dipstick tube fouls on the firewall of an MX83, so you'll need to swap pans over, also the speedo output is on the other side, so extension housings may also need to be swapped. It should certainly be possible to combine the 2 boxes to get the 1J box working as it's supposed to.

should be no problem, will yeah, just be some swapping. when i changed my jza70 box for a jzz30 box i had to change alot of things, such, the rear extension housing, as yeah the speedo out put on the wrong side, the Nuetrel start switch, the wiring into the box, this was cause i used the jza70 vavle body in the jzz30 trans.

even though they are differant cars to mine
when i did the swap my jza70 box had a differant vavlebody and only had 3 solinoids in it, the jzz30 valve body had 4, hence why i swapped the wiring and valve bodies, cause i only had 3 wires on the loom and to the ecu. i wasn't sure if i could control the 4 wire one

oh and it works fine
