my junk with a 1jz

[tvgz28]

Well here's a few pics of my 78 280 with a 1jz/auto swap i just did. Im running the engine fully sequential via megasquirt 3x dual wheel trigger (12 tooth crank with rear cam for reset) 1zz carolla coils and all stock sensors.for the fuel system im running the stock 280 pump to a 3/4 gallon surge tank that feed twin walbro 255's and dual -8 lines to a wye at the engine . it has the stock radiator with a honda electric fan which keeps it dead nuts on 180. Iv got the stock c12A turbos huffing 19psi through a a340e trans with shimmed accumulators and its pretty quick, i waxed a new ss camaro with a cam and exhaust and 5.0 stang on a 125 shot, It has a hard time hooking even with the bfg DR out back.

 

Here it is about to go under the knife. this is a time lapse of 6 days from start to finish, would have been done sooner but weather delays screwed me.

 

Here's the old and tired l28e.

 

Up on my ghetto lift.

 

Bout to get my yank on.

 

BAM l28 gone...

 

BAM 1jz in its new home

top shot. You can kinda see my stock radiator. i was worried about cooling but its never had a problem, plus i used off the shelf radiator hoses to..

 

And last but not least my super sweet cop attracting,fire breathing fender exit exhaust.

 

and the poser shot.

 

Here's the first drive video on stock boost and a rough tune.

 

Here's a little anitlag video, it builds around 17psi in 2.5 to 3 seconds. It sounds rough on the video but i think its cause the shitty microphone and sampling rate of my phone..the car sounds like sex in person.

 

 

Those are all the pics i have as of today. I can go get some more tomorrow to show it in its finished state.

I also wanna throw in some pics of my dash.

 

Here it is in the mock up stage.

 

With a few gauges.

 

In the living room wired up. Iv got the lilliput touch screen to tune the megasquirt on the fly if need be and the koso digi race dash is my tach/speedo and various temp readings.

 

I have to throw a pic in with the old ball and chain... JK, she's not that serious.

Cool car. I spent 4 years at WCU and many weekends knocking around sylva. I've got a kid at WCU now. I'll look for the car the next time I'm up there.

Interesting car. The title of your post scared me though, I thought maybe Brett Farvre had a new hobby...

I took some more pictures today of the engine and radiator.

 

This is pretty much the finished product for now. A side note and the 1zz coils, the coils sit around 1/2 inch higher then the valve cover galley so you can just put the coil cover on and pull it tight against the coils and it holds it great.

 

Here's a shot of the cooling system and my baby electric fan lol.

 

 

This is the shifter im using because the trans in electronically shifted . its made for a aw4 jeep trans but the aw4 and a340e are pretty much identical so it works like a charm. I use a b&m ratchet shifter for p/r/n/d and this controls the 1-4.
