majik16106 Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 Clifton, thats what i mean by notice, i have everything documented and what not, I wasnt very clear on what I meant, if someone told me they wanted me to do the swap for them ahead of time, Ive got all the information in one place or another to have all the piping, mounts, drive shaft..etc made and on my garage floor before they ever showed up.

Guest Jae Posted October 20, 2003 Share Posted October 20, 2003 sorry for all the questions but how much money did you spend on the conversion and how many people helped you? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majik16106 Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 me, not a lot of money, but im a supra guy, for a long time that was pretty much all i worked on, i was one of those local guys who supra owners brought thier cars to to be worked on in my driveway, did a TON of work on third gens, a few 1jz swaps.. etc.. so i had a TON of stuff just laying around not doing either that i had acquired as payment or trade or stuff people didnt want to use anymore. I mean really, i spent about 500 on the car. Then i sent off a few ct-26s to be rebuilt for friends, and they paid enough that mine was pretty much free. I probably built this car in raw parts for less than 1600 bucks. NOrmally i would think it would cost about 4000 in parts, maybe a little less. It was me and one friend who did the work, the same guy i work on the supras with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kustom240 Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 There's this site I used to frequent.. 7mpower.com (shameless plug, I know) Anyway, these guys aren't going on about crazy mods they had to do to hit like 700+hp... check out top 10 rwhp and you'll see what I mean.

Guest hf240z Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 i can't understand most of this mods. if you really need that much power, use a chevy 8 cyl. spend a little bit on a pair of aluminum head(for the weight). i have a feeling you will get more horse power per dollar you spend. but on my $0.01 opinion, its a Z so the only power i want is from a Z. if you could choose out of a 1JZ, 7MGE or a VG30DETT to put into your Z, which one would you pick? i heard the VG30 packs the most hp(300) so ill prob. choose it.

majik16106 Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 ive said it before, if you only want raw power, go for a big v8, its cheaper, easier, and faster. but the toyota swaps are a lot of fun, think of it has a turbo 3.1 that these guys are building, except easier. No bottom end work required, buy a 1200 donor car, put a hg in it, and throw on a t04 , a little extra fuel and you get 400+rwhp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
