Hey guys, i currently have a 33 gts im gonna get rid off, but before that i wanna set myself up with a decent supra, ive always loved supras since i saw my first one, I'm just wondering After i sell my car i wanna set myself up with a decent model like i see all these models and i was just wondering how i would go about getting a 2jz-gte bad boy dropped into one ? Is there any sites that could help out, I'm pretty keen to know as i've never been involved with any of this stuff before and i have no idea?. I live in perth atm is there a company anyone knows of that could possibly fit a 2jz-gte into supra body i've looked everywhere but no one is selling a supra with a 2jz already in it. Would it be a cheaper option to start from stock and whatnot? Or whats the best way to go about this. Cheers

F*** me this section is delivering teh lulz lately. OP been watching too much F&F...is surprised at the idea of finding 2JZ engines in MK4 Supras...

Aside from all that.. You are more interested in buying another engine and transplanting it rather than flying over and picking up a car with it already done... wtf..

Like I said I'll explain it to you for those who can't read I'm new to this stuff . I havnt got a clue on how to buy a car from over east . Who sets up the shipping ?, buyer or seller , do I have to run it over the pits when it gets here I obviously will have to get it licensed for w.a and yes i probably could research but why do that when I could get a more simple and quicker explanation from people who know what they're talking about and have possibly experienced this before

I'm not just interested i'n planting a motor i'n one if u read correctly I said would it be a cheaper option to do so . What would be the best way to go about it. Starting new and dropping an engine i'n importing buying straight-out etc so please read and understand where I'm coming from before coming i'n here and trying to troll thanks.

why research when you can ask and get told?

because nobody will spoonfeed you, this has been asked countless times, and you're not even willing to search for yourself.

We're not trolling, from your posts, the only thing i can understand is that you are a lazy person who relies on being spoonfed and refuses to do any research himself. If i'm wrong then I apologise in advance, otherwise, use the search button on the forum =)

Dude sounds like ur making a rite cock of your self mate, do some research on supra's then ask questions..

People dont like wasting time on responces when ur question doesnt make sence..

you find a supra you like over east.. then pay me the thousands you would save if you researched and called you're state transport and a few transport companies.. and I will sort it all out for you.. sound good? has less hassle for you..

also you never asked about cheaper options in your OP.. you mentioned a swap and then said what's the best option..

Do you even realise the factory engine for a Mk4 Supra is a 2JZ?

That's why people are taking the piss outta ya. Why would you want to "transplant" a motor that is already in the engine bay?

:ermm:

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
