Cost To 1JZ Swap A Supra MKIII | How Much Does It Cost To Build A 1JZ Supra MK3

[@chrismontanaro553]

I installed a 1jz in my 89 MK3 11 years ago and it's still my daily driver. That's how you get your money’s worth! 1k a year is a great price for an awesome sports car with no car payment and the cheapest insurance known to man. Been kicking everyone’s butt not to mention contending with crotch rockets. 60-120+ 5th gear pulls are just amazing. EVERY time I get out of my car I take 10 paces and catch myself looking back to admire how awesome it is. Freddy, keep this car forever or you will regret it.

[@sbfhawk4343]

Correct and alot of people get depressed about a silly 10000 or 6000 they spend on a car like this but these cars last and can be passed onto generation to generation. That is why they are worth their weight in gold. If you think about that then yeah its the best bang for your buck your ever going to get. Compare that to paying 55000 thousand for a nice new vehicle today. I mean you will have to pay that off in 6 to 7 years and hope it last another 8 years if you got an ACURA or LEXUS but if you did not your F. that 50000 thousand goes down the drain. Never to be regained again. Then you say dude 12000 is nothing.

[@javi5810]

What insurance lmao

[@williamjohnp1875]

Time saver 15:36 $7000 for the basic swap.............other parts including swap $12,415 car $500 ..........total $12,915

[@demarcodraper4266]

I spent 5k on a true jza70 swap and I had a 91 which made everything pretty much a bolt in. Then I decided to do the 1.5 build before it even went in, that was another 2k in machine work parts etc. Then I decided to go single before I completed the swap. That was another 7K after custome ic pipes, went standalone, got injectors and clutch and custom exhaust. In short I spent a lot lol.

@@PoorManMods Mk3 is badass.

[@GTX1123]

Had an 87 and a 91 many yrs ago. Loved both of them. They were incredible drifting cars but both blew head gaskets - common problem with the inline 6. Wanted to find one with the swap but opted instead to go with a 1998 C5 Corvette and glad I did as the C5's are extremely well made cars (I had a C4 that was THE WORST car I ever owned). Even bone stock, a Mark 3 can be quirky and if you go with a swap, you really should do it yourself. That way you know it inside and out and can ensure it's done right, especially when it comes to wiring. You gotta be that passionate about it because it's a TON of work. If you're not in to tinkering, get a C5 Corvette - you won't be disappointed.

[@in-rust-we-trust2831]

Only reason they blew head gaskets was because the 7mgte had turbos put on last minute during production and the heads werent torqued to spec

Hey! THANK YOU for doing this rundown. I just burned out my 7m-ge in my 1988 that was in immaculate condition and i need to figure out a way to get it running in a way i can upgrade it over time. Thinking of getting the 1jz-gte and just putting it in for now with minimal changes just to get it to run... with the w58 and LSD. Im hoping that the stock non turbo parts can handle easy driving til i can upgrade the rest. No idea whats NECESSARY but im hoping to at least get it running. IM ALSO FROM PA! (Pittsburgh)

[@PoorManMods]

Heck yeah you're welcome! Thanks!

[@tto111]

And if you put that kind of money into a 7M, then you have a badass engine.

[@PoorManMods]

i didnt put much "into the engine" almost 1/3 of my total expense was the R154 swap, and the fuel system which im not really utilizing at the moment only being on 10psi

I have to ask. Why is the power steering pump resovair totally crooked? shouldnt it be level? For the dipstick and whatnot.

[@oveidasinclair982]

No the 7M is really a piece of shit engine, better going with the 1JZ, or 2JZ

[@Matt_Lanzer_13]

Oveida Sinclair 7m’s are actually not half bad. They just get a bad rap because the factory never torqued them to the proper torque so they pop head gaskets if you don’t fix that. If you fix that, the motors are actually really stout and can make just as good horsepower as a 1/2j. But nobody would know bc everyone is in love with the jz series

[@The_Dapper_Millennial]

Strat. Attack13 I was actually considering getting a mk3 supra. I was thinking about a 1jz swap. Can you tell me a little bit about the 7m? What kind of power can you make from it with everything torqued correctly. (The 7m is an iron block is it not?) Thanks for your time.

I think I am just going to save myself a lot of time and money and keep my R154 Supra Turbo 7M and just put money into the restoration to make it as reliable as possible. My 7M I got imported with 66k km on it so it should be good. I remember seeing the factory Toyota honing on the cylinder walls when I put a MLS head gasket and ARP’s. I have a custom $800 clutch setup from Southbend Clutch back in my hometown. I have all the Apexi controllers and aftermarket inter cooler and pipes and a huge borg Warner turbo off a diesel truck back in the day but she still screams and boost comes on around 3200rpm so not to bad lag. Currently high boost I have it at 28psi and have no idea the power numbers but I do know I am reaching my limits with the Lexus AFM and 660cc RC injectors mod. Cool video I’d wish you made more on the car being the mk3 Supras are making their come back.

Dad did a 1JZ swap out, his throttle cable came from a 90's Corrola, he used a W58 tranny (car was a NA 7mge 5 speed), an SC300 Lexus dog bone, he didn't have to relocate his battery, he also used a single turbo VVTi 1JZ. Keep the Supra driveshaft, his swap out cost him around $5200.00, he keep the engine stock, 295 horse power was more than enough power for him. Dad made the car look as close to show room condition as he possibly could, no cracks on the dash and near perfect cloth seats. You will never get $13k of enjoyment out of the car and above all else, never look at that car as an investment. I drive the other Supra that he restored, it has a JDM 7mgte, Targa Top, that engine was tore down, head rebuilt, the block decked, multi layer metal head gasket with ARP head studs. It has a 3 inch down pipe and I think next year I'm going to get a header and a larger/faster spool up turbo, oh it has NO cracks on the dash, NO rust on the car and near perfect interior too.

I have a beautiful conditioned 89 Supra with a near perfect interior, no cracks on the dash either. Oh dad went to the salvage yard about 5 years ago a pick up a 3 piece wig, the car looks beautiful, the only bad thing is the 7MGE engine is shot which is why I'm going to a 1JZ conversion. I'm keeping the W58 transmission because I don't plan on racing the car and it should hold up to the added 75 horse power, heck they were putting the W58's in the Mk IV's with the naturally aspired 2JZG engines in the mid 90's.

For this price you could import a JDM Mk. III. The car itself in the JDM market is going for between $1000 and $5000. FOB / FOC is around $1200. Hiring a licensed Customs Broker is a couple hundred and fees are probably a couple hundred more. That's a solid $5000 - $8000 for a RHD 1JZGTE Mk. III. You get a factory install AND the prestige / cool factor of a true JDM Legend. Keep in mind many times these cars have already been modded as well, typically with extremely rare Momo or Motegi steering wheels, Ricaro seats, and any number of valuable Japan only rims, such as RS Watanabe's, Fukokas, or rare Volk wheels. Many times they'll be fairly built as well. All in all it's a better deal to import a Mk. III from Japan. You'll most likely find that the mods on them are worth more in parts than the car and process.

[@PoorManMods]

Its easier to spend that much money ovet many years building a car than dropping it all at once

[@vroomoon]

@@PoorManMods True, but if you save up and go for this route you'll have a RHD version. Also the amount of money you'd spend stateside for those kinds of parts usually already on these cars is VASTLY more than what you see here. Keep in mind that a good set of true JDM rims can be north of 4K a set. Actual older Ricaros can range from a couple hundred to a couple thousand, and an old school JDM racing wheel can be a couple hundred, if not up to north of a thousand. Let's not even talk about suspension or engine mods. Availability is also a thing. Some of these JDM cars will have golden era aero kits (like Top Secret, Advan, and others) that you just can't get in the western hemisphere or outside of Japan period. All the little things are what add up to having a much better value than building up a USDM car for a similar price. JDM cars are also worth vastly more in the US than in Japan, regardless of the car. The mere fact thst such a thing exists through the effort needed to import boosts the value exponentially. That's why importers exist in the first place. If it wasn't massively profitable they wouldn't do it other than for personal use.

4 32 - custom bumper..lol looks like piping from the plumber

[@Designer_TopG]

4.32 - lol thats quite a supra you got there. Wtf is that a custom bumper ?

[@Hunting4knowledge]

it's things like this that remind me I won't have my 2j swap done till.... whennever lol. kinda luckily I'm going na-t 2j i got for free "running motor from friend's sc who went vvti 2j" with a butchered harness and missing pieces for days. time and the harness is why I haven't progressed and laziness... can't forget laziness.

[@PoorManMods]

it takes so much time and money :(

[@Hunting4knowledge]

Poor Man Mods you're telling me. I've been helping that same friend that gave me the 2jzge with his sc for the past 7 years i don't even want to think how much he's into it. 2jzgte vvti on a big single borg, stand alone, wise fab front end suspension, truck loads more to list and still doesn't run.

[@micraw714]

800cc injectors? I thought you were running 650's?

[@PoorManMods]

+Mic Raw we went even bigger and did a fuel rail and adjustable regulator as well

[@NoRefundsGuY12]

Epic ending

[@PoorManMods]

ahahaha

[@nickc6570]

Why would you not just buy an imported one with a 1j already in it? About 12k with virtually no miles

[@PoorManMods]

Whats easier, to spent $12k over the span of 5 years, or to spend $12k all at once?

[@nickc6570]

Poor Man Mods yeah, true

[@oveidasinclair982]

Good luck finding one

[@davidbronston8488]

hopefully you've gotten a better cameraman by now

[@PoorManMods]

Nope

[@Skormzee]

sounds to me like you have gotten 13k of experience in 1j breakdowns and servicing hahah .. also alot of what to do and what not to do on these beasts ... its the fun of building and driving (when its running) that counts

[@PoorManMods]

haha $13k worth of education and experience i guess

It was sitting outside for 12 years with no engine or transmission and the interior was trash.

Just import one, itll save you the money, time, hassle, possible parts breaking, and you'll be cooler cuz you're a mailman
