1JZ-GTE Swap parts list into a MKIII Supra

I looked at the stickys that are posted above. What I like about them is all the information is awesome, but I want a straight forward * what parts do I need to drop a 1JZ into a MKIII and go down the road * That is what this thread is for. I hope this will help everyone wanting to do the swap. I will make suggestions that helped me, and I assure you they will do the same for you.

This is if you already have a 5-speed car you're swapping the 1JZ into, if you do not you will need more 5-speed swap parts. I would like to add though if your car is an auto, you will have to cut the tunnel where the shift comes up a little bit, for perfect fitment.

To start I will begin by breaking down everything into 5 sections Body, Engine,Electrical, Drive train, and miscellaneous parts.

Safety comes first! So always make sure you check your surroundings!

Where to buy all of these things?

I used a number of places to buy the parts? Seriously Ebay is where I got most.

Exhaust work will have to be done with a welder, so if you do not have one, find a place and bring the car there. We paid 100.00 to make everything fit.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is my suggestion though when a motor comes in. These JDM motors sit for years, maybe 5-10 years. These have a build up of gunk inside, and they have not been ran in years. I like to take the whole 1jz apart, and clean everything with a tooth brush. I then went ahead and got a new Toyota gasket kit for the 1jz and re-gasket the entire motor. I added ARP head studs as well to the mix just to be certain.

Electrical:

For the electrical, the harness will need to be modified to fit your car, I will make a post on how to do that. Now the 1jz's alternator is WAY over to the other side. I used 2 gauge wiring and ran it under the core support all the way to the location where it mounts on the body harness. It was not that hard. If you want the stock Boost pressure gauge to work, run vacuum line off the intake manifold to the sensor and it will work. There is really no other wiring besides the main harness which you will have to do.

Note: when testing the electrical, always make sure all (+) positive wires are not grounded out.

Your Car's 7M harness or connectors if you don't have it............$150.00
2 Gauge Wire 6 feet I bought................................................. $13.00 Advance Auto
Connectors for the wire to the battery, and to the Alt. ..............$4.00 Advance Auto

Miscellaneous Parts:

I would have *The Good stuff* For any sealing purposes, oil pan, cam caps around the valve covers, oil pump housing, rear main seal. It works great, and I can say that because I use it on all the motor I do.

I always have a box of spare bolts, I have 1000's just in case you loose a couple and can't remember where they want.
A drill always helps make things easier.
