Hi

Has anyone dropped in a Toyota JZ engine into a ceffy? What is involved with it?

I'm thinking about replacing my rb20 with a 1jz TT from a soarer as it is long in the tooth now.

I know a lot of guys have done the conversion with s13's.

1JZ's seem to be pretty cheap comapred to a SR20 or RB25/26

1jz is cheap and better than 25

but the 25 conversion is much easier , which realy is one of the main advantages of the cef , its ready for any rb very easily

having said that its not that hard and the 1j is an awesome engine . the soarer turbo setup sucks though

what you save on purchasing the Jz will spend and more on the conversion

talk to some mechanics on the cost of converting first

remember that although the SR or RB maybe a 500-1000 more expensive to buy, it is a straight fit

im thinking to shoehorn a toyota engine in a nissan is a few grand enterprise

Food for thought

there is a guy in SA you can buy mounts off for $120 which allow a direct bolt in for a 1JZ onto an S13 X member, Ceffy X members are worth a shiteload more cash than S13 ones, so you can probably get your $120 back on that with no worries :rofl:

once that is done its a bit of wiring and some plumbing (as you would need with any conversion) and youre set...the only real expensive bits I can see are $1500 for an R154 (but you pay nearly that for an RB25 box which is weaker anyway)

I was seriously going to do this with a GT3037S Pro into my laurel if i didnt sell it.

the inlet is no dramas whatsoever...as for the exhaust well a 1JZ has the dumps in the centre of the engine leaving you PLENTY of room for a decent front pipe and exhaust, if youre going a big single there shouldnt be any dramas either :P

Here's my 1JZ powered Cefiro... don't have a lot of information about dropping the JZ into a Ceffie, since mine was already installed when I bought the car. I do know that here in Thailand people can buy looms off the shelf to splice into the standard loom and then everything plugs straight in, no drama!

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
