1GZ-FE pics and measurements. Drool included.

Soo, whats happened to the 2 guys on here with these motors?

One was being completely forged I think? going into a supra?

I asked this in some other thread a while back and there was a deafening silence as response.

The smart option is to put it in a car that doesn't require sump mods. Hello JZX90.

I like that GX71 option....

[Norbie]

Yeah I think the other 2 guys have discovered the harsh realities of unusual engine conversions. Making plans is one thing, making stuff happen is something else.

GX71 is a nice idea, but the good thing about JZX90 is all the off-the-shelf upgrade bits. Plus fewer things to upgrade (eg diff).

i still think my "Bandit" transam was the best idea.

When Tan finally gives up and passes his onto me it'll find a home pretty quick

[Sciflyer]

Clearly the correct answer is to put it in a decent-sized Toyota with an engine bay made for both V and inline engines

oh that'd be a Z30 Soarer then

coz lets face it, a 1GZ-FE 'd car is going to be more ultimate GT than supremely balanced track weapon

Sump is a bitch.

agreed, i figured it was going to be easier to start from scratch and build a new one the block down, oh the joys.

Just going to get a JZS131 alloy corset and mate it to a milled down GZG50 alloy corset. Now you guys can pretty much work out what it will be going in.

GiantTomato, engine conversion... gee, pretty hard to guess.

[The Real Roadrunner]

Hey Hey !!!! No !!!!! Justen got to do the first V8 185, if I EVER have ANY money, I'll be doing the first V12 185 !

*Actually I'd be just as happy at doing the second V8 185 *

[JustenGT8]

No GT12, more than happy with the GT8. A 240Z would be very tempting but seeing how cheap JZA80's are getting i reckon that would be the go.

sump should be a cinch for a man of your talents Linden , even less sleep

Bet you can't make it fit into an IS200.

Mos.

PS. Can I have your 3UZ yet?
