1jz or 2jz for cressida

[FreeStyler]

Hi, Im new to the forum. What i want to know is that why is the 1jz into cressida conversion more common than the 2jz.

[wilbo666]

A few reasons

-JZX81's exist so if you buy a JZX81 front cut you can simply 'bolt' all the parts into a MX83.
-1JZ is quite a bit cheaper than 2JZ in initial price
-1JZ is easier to find

Cheers

I think wilbo covered all the bases.

[FreeStyler]

yea he did, thanks

2JZ hits the brake booster I believe.

[ProjectSleeper]

Rear turbo on the 2JZGTE clears the factory booster by about half a bees dick, so as soom an you start it, it will hit..

Easiest fix is to get a customer (smaller) booster made up, or if you are EXTREMELY lucky, source a GX81 Brake booster and it will fit.

My custom booster, all brand new PBR bits, was $330 incl GST.

Had the same prob on my R31, done some dodgy shit and its all good.

I would suggest a GT40 or T04Z to fix that clearance issue....obviously there would be the other benefits too

[FreeStyler]

What kind of half cut would you use to get 2jz and can you still use the auto box with it

[2JZR31]

Aristo, yes and search.

[ProjectSleeper]

yeppers,...

JZS147 series Aristo...

try and get a "1995 on" one though as it has the fitting in the plenum for the brake booster

[vinno]

has any one tried putting a 1jz-gte into an mx62? is it feesable? just one of my many dreams..

vinno

[Norbie]

Feasible, kinda but a lot of work. The problem with the MX62 is it has recirculating-ball steering which means you have a great big steering box where the exhaust wants to be.

Tis a fantastic idea!

MA61 engine mounts should work, MX32 auto gerabox mount if you put a W5x behind it...

Oh and single turbo to get rid of the steerinx gox issues

Would be sweet!
