X71 engine conversion

[EldarO]

i have JZX90 mounts, i can get you a front sump for nix, and i can source you a 1JZ + auto out of either a JZA70 or JZZ30, from there you just need to decide whether you want the hydro fan or clutch fan

I think clint has an NA 1JZ lying around too coffee...that would be pretty cool

[Admiral coFF33]

i have to re-state , after all your opinions that i want to do it as CHEEEEEEEAP as possible !

which means
NO 3SGTE GEN 3
NO BEAMS
NO 2JZGTE

i think the MX73 5MGE is best option so far ... but its such a shit motor :S


Also , How easy does the MX83 crossmember bolt up to the X71 ?
If its as easy as a JZA70 to GZ20 conversion then 7MGE might be the best choice ?

[MR 1JZ]

you actually want to put a 7M in a car?

are you mental?

[JustCallMeOrlando]

Dude, MX73 crossmember and 5MGE. Simple and effective, guaranteed bolt-in. The 5MGE isn't terrible, and ultimately, you wanna focus your attention on the Pig.

[japlish]

if its similar to the soarer's of the same year then you may only need the little plates between the crossmember and the engine mounts? i think?

[Admiral coFF33]

Nathan: I agree, Pig first bosozoku X71 2nd. How much for X73 engine package and where do u think is the place to find one ? Im assuming they are really fuckin common.

Japlish .. the Z10/11/12 come with the 5M and 6M engines, the MX73 (direct brother of X71) comes with X7 crossmember/engine package 5MGE.

other than missing out on a turbo , i think MX73 option is a good one

[Admiral coFF33]

Also , Did the 5M have the same BHG issues as the 7M ??

[JustCallMeOrlando]

You don't need a turbo, you need something that is reliable. Not sure to be honest, check the Quokka to see if something is being wrecked.

[JustCallMeOrlando]

Not to the same extent as a 7M no.

Japlish .. the Z10/11/12 come with the 5M and 6M engines, the MX73 (direct brother of X71) comes with X7 crossmember/engine package 5MGE.

mine has a 1gge

[Admiral coFF33]

mine has a 1gge

As you have a GZ1x

There's nothing wrong with a 5M-GE if it's been looked after. It will certainly be a massive improvement over a 1S-U, and it has the advantage of being cheap and a direct bolt-in. DO IT.

[Admiral coFF33]

what norbie says , goes .

[MR 1JZ]

remeber john you need to sort a new fuel system as welll...going from carby to EFI...

unless you throw a set of webbers on a 5MGE

now that would be cool
