There have been quite a few guys that have done the 1JZ-GTE (2.5L Twin Turbo) - and two that I know of that have done the 1UZ-FE (4.0L Quad Cam V8 from the Lexus) but I am not aware of anyone doing the 2JZ as yet. - If anyone has - I'd love to hear from them for a few things that have me concerned...

ETA for completion is by September 2003 (because I am driving up to the Jamboree at Willowbank, and want to drive it up) - The only thing holding me back at the moment is finding a bloody Aristo front cut for the engine and gearbox etc. I am leaving it Auto (coz I am lazy now) and the torque will be more than adequate :P

Total Budget is about $18,000 and I should be able to get about 200 to 220kW at the rear wheels. in a 100% road legal, fully engineered Luxury car that will be the ultimate sleeper.

Southo,

Thanks for your comprehensive reply. Your input is greatly appreciated. Given you comments, I think I will err towards the NavTrak system instead.

I guess my final comment though, given that there is traking, is there also an alarm component? That is, with the rrp of $1950, does that include like a siren, immobilisers etc.

I mean, it's great if the car gets stolen, but what about preventing the car from moving at all? Of do I also need to purchase an external alarm again?

Thanks.

what's the ETA  of the conversion?

zman, i've seen another cressida with this transplant....i think they guy is on toymods club...

theres one with the plates F1MERC or something like that, nice looking thing.

I've had 2 cressidas in the family so far, the next would definately have 2 hair dyers hanging off the sides... OR a big one ;)

Scotty,

Yes, there is an alarm/Immobiliser component built into the system at that price. I beleive that the Immobiliser is a 3 point system (I will ring to confirm)

Thanks for the Toymods links - yep - read them all and sussed out what I need etc. I got my new wheels on the weekend - (photos will be up at www.pbase.com/driftking/cressida this afternoon with the new wheels) So now I have the room to fit my new Brakes 330mm 4 pots - and then probably do the suspension at the same time. I am still trying to source a suitable front cut, and not having much luck :P

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
