Anyone looking at this thread for the first time as a for sale thread should go to the last page to see what it actually looks like. Cheers.
OK We are underway with the project.
Dennis 2JZR31 sold us the engine, which is an immaculate looking externally and internally 1JZ from a Soarer front cut.
Car is a rusty old ute I had sitting under my dad's house for about three years. A coat of primer would have helped.. Oh well :D
Conversion is as follows;
1JZ GTE
Factory auto
Factory ecu
Front mount ebay spec intercooler
Commodore hub conversion with 2 spot calipers
Early Commodore diff with discs
Should be pretty good as the figures I can find for weight work out at around 1200 to 1250 for the ute. I think this engine is a bit heavier than the stocker. Surprisingly it is about the same length overall with the gearbox ending up in what looks like almost the right spot for the factory crossmember to be used.
Engine sits in there ok. Bonnet will fit fine, miles of room around the sides of the engine, exhaust fits fine. Heaps of room at the front to retain the stock clutch fan and a big radiator.
The only thing that seems really tight is the wiper motor being really close to the rear turbo's outlet pipe. That pipe can either be changed or maybe relocate the wiper motor.. Anyways that is a pretty minor deal one way or the other I guess.
Happy days.
Trying to find a wiring diagram is a bit of a pain. The jzz30 diagrams all seem to have four plugs that are two rows high into the ecu, and this one has four pins high and four plugs. Dennis said he has a pinout for it anyways, so hopefully that is right for this box. The other thing I probably need is the fuse box, from the drawings I have that has fuel pump and efi relays on it, plus fuses and possibly fusible links for everything. Anyone have any ideas on that?
OK, I'll get some pics and post them shortly.

) Not to worry though, because I chopped mine off on purpose, but granted that was AFTER I knew what wires I needed. You still have the plugs though, so it shouldn't be hard to figure out anyway by matching up the colors. Most of these will do nothing like trac control, cruise control etc. But some may feed power to the ECU and some will be the selector switch wires and kick down and PWR, OD etc.
