Back form the dead again...prolly the last time.
Quick question - Do I need to remove the whole dash to get the 1JZ wiring in my car??
Just this pic has gotten me really worried.
I'm going to see the mechanic I'm planning to get my conversion done from on Monday and will pretty much print out this website and the pictures to see if he's confident enough he can do it still.
http://www.supras.nl/view.php?page=1jzswapmarcel.h tm
I know he can ignore the wiring lengthening process...everything seems straight forward cept for the part to get the 1JZ dash connectors installed in the car. I would prefer to use the dash that comes with the half cut (esp if its digital) ... so would the whole dash need to be removed? Or does it need to be removed anyway to get the ECU and wiring in there? With the glovebox removed is there enough room to remove old ECU/fit new ECU and run the wiring etc etc???
Another question...how much difficult/easier would this swap be compared to a swap in a Commodore, Falcon, Magna??? He says he's done numerous swaps on those kinds of cars...electrics and all. So I guess that might be as far as he's gone in terms of engine conversions. Dunno what engines...but would it be similar?
Also, I know Grant (Sixworks) does something with the wiring. How can his service help me? From my understanding, he sorts wiring so that everything is plug n play. Does that mean that he will sort the wiring so that the 1JZ wiring is connected to the existing wiring in my car so that I use the same dash already in there? Or does he simply sort the wiring so that everything is loomed up and labelled so that an installer will know where to run each section?
Please help me understand wiring a bit more...because this is as far as I understand it.
1. Wiring from engine bay etc goes to ECU
2. Other wires go to the dash, instrument cluster.
lol...not very far. I'm also confused about other wiring, because theres wiring around the fuse box at the foot area of the drivers side. Now I've been told that this is not required to be changed. However, a few things seem to go through this fuse box ... Is this wiring separate to the wiring of the engine to the ECU? I take it the wiring and electrics that go through this fuse box are accessories? like lighting, head unit? Therefore the wiring removed from my engine bay will be the ones attached to the engine? Things like wiring that go to my headlights will be left alone...right??
Thanks heaps guys - I know thats a lot of questions, but I dont want to get ripped off. Or be left with a non running car with a lot of mess I have to sort out.
