Straight from another thread on 1jz conversions, here's the cost of mine...
1jz from jza70 halfcut into an MA70
Lets do the maths!
- Toyota list prices are in brackets, I got some good discounts for buying heaps of stuff at once and the spare parts guy was a revhead too.
Manual jza-70 front cut - $4.5k (was fully dressed with all panels and had a HKS blow-off setup and strut brace)
Seal for powersteering pump - $8 (9)
Engine mounts (2) - $198.18 ea ($248 ea)
TEMS shocks, front and rear - $45.45 ea ($70.87 ea)
Front lower control arm bushes - $125 (Noltec)
Getting the old bushes pushed out and new ones fitted - $33
Machine front disks - $26.40
Bearings and sundry items - $30
Air filter (genuine) - $42 ($49)
New serpentine belt, vaccum hose and fittings - $57
6 platnium spark plugs - $12.50ea
2.5 inch exhaust (from cat back) with muffler and resonator- $300
Front/Rear Wheel aligment - $50
New radiator and cooling system flush - $480 (jza70 one has platic top tanks that crack)
Coolant $40
Synthetic Oil $50
Transport SA approval - $140 (had to go back after initial inspection)
Re-gassing air-con - $300
Total (close enough to it) - $6700. - not including tyres, rego, insurance etc.
This is doing all the work ourselves - wiring, monkey work etc.
You sitaution may be different - but keep in mind a front cut has done ~100,000kms and needs some tidying up before putting it in.
Also the 1jz powersteering pumps can be dodgy - I've had one fail and propblems with leaks, air entering system, noise etc.
It's better to know this before deciding to do a conversion. Also, once completed you've still only got a dead stock 1jz - which you'll want to start modding too.
Not quite as hard as the 1jz into a GZ10 too!
