Justin JZA61 Thanks for that. Im using Monroe GT Shocks and King Springs (20mm Lower) at the moment. These are the new replacements, I was just thinking maybe there was a way of making it ride better beyond these? Hmm a few months? I was hoping to do it over my two weeks leave over Christmas. Just Toyota had a front cut for around $3300 but Im looking for something around the 2500 mark because its going to cost me a ton in labour to get my Mechanic to help me fit it. I definetly want to go the 1JZ.. reasons for this are a) the 7MGTE even though its torquey has a very long downstroke and the shorter downstroke on the 1JZ allows for higher RPMs and faster acceleration (correct? this is my understanding anyway). b) a 2JZ is too big, it can be done but i need something powerful but not THAT powerful. Overkill for an MA61 i think. not to mention too bloody heavy for the displacement. c) i want to have a turbo engine this time round, but i dont want to lose much displacement on the engine. thus the 1JZ is the closest fit for me. ive had half a dozen cars all N/A and now i want to try the turbo method (im sick of NA!) Uuugggghhhh Monroe shocks XXXXXX I just replaced mine with Koni Yellow adjustables on King Lows. Some of your 1JZ justifications are a bit off. Yes, 1JZ has shorter stroke and hence will rev better, but the main differnec will be in 10+ years of design advance. 2JZ from the factory has the same power as 1JZ, but more torque. Too heavy for displacment ? I think the weight difference is negligible - Norbs will probably help me there. If you are trying to do it in 2 weeks over Xmas, good luck. If your trying to save $800 for the mechanic, you haven't done your homework. Even though it is a 2JZ-GTE transplant, check out the conversion on www.norbie.net, and even with all of the work done himself, look at his cost. A thoroughly good writeup, and not something that can be tackled in 2 weeks, especially over Xmas !!! Good luck [Report message to a moderator]
