1JZ into HJ Kingswood Ute. Project Car for sale.

[Mighty Mouse]

If that is actually the case that is really good for me ('73 tonner)
And this conversion is making me seriously rethink my blown SBC idea...

[BigMuz]

I'll ask him next time I talk to him. Next week or so. Give me a kick if I forget.

[ALLMTR]

Spoke to the engineer last weekend. He is a tool but more than happy with everything we are doing.

Hi to the engineer, if your reading.

Has he given you any idea on costs? Can you Pm me if he has.

[BigMuz]

I can post it here?

The initial consult was $300. The total is $550 all done, so I owe him another $250 once he makes another inspection after the basics, and then a final inspection to issue the certificate itself.

I thought it was well cheap to be honest. I am sure it ended up $1500 in the olden days.

Mid North Coast only though

[ALLMTR]

Yeah hella cheap. Much less than I was expected

[jmac]

73 you don't have to 'do shit' for emissions. Muz - be very careful to check the various adrs on the compliance plate, as this will over-rule any year by year stuff (owing to how the Hq and J etc didn't exactly fall into precise years, so to speak.)

Can't believe nobody has said 'drop a v8 in it'....

[ALLMTR]

John, you haven't been paying attention, this is JZForums now....

[BigMuz]

No emissions mentioned in the adrs, and I guess this is what the engineer is considering. Or I may be missing the point entirely.

Doesn't matter, because I will run a cat and the canister, althoguh surely a two speed fuel pump would technically be part of the emissions control system of the factory car. Doesn't concern me but the letter of the law would mean every component that could have any effect on emissions should be as installed standard in the donor car. All that matters to me is what old mate is happy to sign off.

[jampac]

The two speed fuel pump is for quietness and longivity of the pump. Its extremely rare to hear of a toyota (denso) pump failing because of this, but you hear about the blasted fuel pump ecu's breaking all the time. You'll need the fuel pump ecu as it controls the priming of the pump, unless you have an aftermarket computer doing that. You can bypass it but then the pump doesn't turn off after 5 seconds on reds. If the engineer picks this up, they'll fail it.

[2JZR31]

Just use the fuelpump relay that JZK25 was talking about.

[jampac]

Got some details of wiring? I wanna piss off the fuel pump comp in my soarer and get a bosch 044 that doesn't like toyota varible voltage supply.

[Turbo 351]

A friend has these hanging around for a 1J, they are to suit a couple of T25/28's, surely you could come across a pair of SR turbo's pretty cheap these days:w:
Last we spoke he said he wanted $400 for them, but i could probably knock him down a bit, made quite well out of steam pipe.

[jampac]

look pretty good.

[BigMuz]

Yeah jampac, I understand that, I was just saying that to be strictly legal, surely it would be a required part. I will def use the Al special sauce way, as I am neither a law obider, or a masochist :D

Turbo351, I think if I was going to change turbos it would be for a big single. For that you have to add a programmable interceptor/ ecu replacement, and I am trying to stick to a budget here man! What is the ct12 like compared to a stock t25?

[jampac]

Nah only legal part of it is the priming, its got nothing to do with emissions. The fuel regulator controls your fuel pressure.
