1j into cressida

[Niva]

sick of going slow ive decided to have a crack at putting a 1j into a cressida, over the last 12 months ive started working on my own cars etc. swapped a couple of motors, diffs, gearboxes etc and now that my tool collection has grown to at least the basics ive decided to have a go at this popular conversion.

rather than sit here and ask the hundreds of questions I have, is anyone able to point me in the right direction for the info?

I guess the main things are, what version cressida or old chaser do I want. what kind of car do I want the 1J out of? supra? chaser? soarer?

do the cressida diffs and gearboxes hold up and whats the go with wiring? swap the loom or is it plug and play.

and the big one... apart from the exhaust, is any fabrication needed?


so much for not asking hundreds of questions...

cheers :P

i am currently playing with a 1j in a volvo.

my best advice is to forget the 1j idea and go with a 25.

[Miggy]

2J*

srsrlsly though a 1J will be a lot easier then putting a RB in there.

[Niva]

Easy is what I'm going for.

Can't weld, have no idea with wiring diagrams so the less I have to outsource the better

1J into Niva*

Its a bolt in job? compared to fabbing up engine/box mounts and crossing the exhaust over, etc...

[Daisy]

[S133LTR]

Blinded by your jz hate/rb love??

[Skitzo]

It appears so.

Any Cressida will work. Series 1 (Zenki) and 2 (kouki) are a lil different, and this just changes the engine mounts required. Grande has the LSD budddddeh.

Everything you need can be purchased from here:

[Skitzo]

Oh you also need a front sump JZ. These are found in JZX81s, JZX90s and JZX100 (VVTi). If you get a 1J that isn't front sump, you can purchase front sump conversions.

[S133LTR]

It appears so.

I was only stirring.. I know Daisy only preffers RB cause Royce doesnt know how to fix JZ's for him :P

[TJ]

Just buy one completed.

Unless you get a free motor and box, youll never get it done as cheap as these are in 2012.

Great fun cars for minimal outlay.

Mine still gives me fond memories*



*ive deleted the exploding motor at 2am xmas eve from my memory.

[adrenalin]

1J + cressy = win.

Manual conversion as well or going auto ?

[supra_jza70]

Mate has done heaps of these conversions. If you want any info pm me and I will get you in contact with him

[stumps.]

Like TJ said buy one they are only 5k

[Niva]

what should I expect to pay for a 1j? can you use the cressida box?

Kinda wanted to do it myself,

unless im gonna end up paying 8k over the course of the swap.

[esky]

Since theres lots of toyota fans in here, can someone tell me where to pull relay trigger source for full pumps on a 96 1jz non vvti ecu?

[Lump]

can you live with an auto cressy? cause with the cost/hassel of a manual conversion you would get more value with a manual r31 etc

i enjoyed my 1j cressy while i had it but auto gearboxes are not my thing.

[Skitzo]

what should I expect to pay for a 1j? can you use the cressida box?

Decent complete one. Anywhere from 600 - 1000 (non VVTi). Cressida box can be used as far as i am aware.

I have an auto one. While i dislike autos generally, it's great as a daily driver. Just chuck in Shift kit for a little extra fun.

[Brett_J]

Just buy the GX81 down the road from mine for 4k, probably let it go for 3.5k, look better too :)

[caibs]

where's that for sale brett?

[Brett_J]

In maddington.

By the time you buy all the little things, and cost of car, I reckon youll do 8k

The "she just bolts in bra" fantasy is just that - fantasy

Why can't you use the PowerFC to trigger it?

[esky]

Probably could but need to know what pin

[Turbo2.6L]

The gold one Esky

[Skitzo]

Probably could but need to know what pin

My car is currently being tuned with PowerFC. Tuner is putting in a relay to trigger the fuel pump ECU on start up, and to tunr it off when it stalls etc etc. I'll ask him when i pick it up for details for you.

yep sure is looking that way.

Still even bought already done, im struggling to find another car / engine combo thats gonna have as much potential and support in the long run as this.

I think my mind is made up

[Skitzo]

Could by mine for 4.5. Buy another cleanish cressida and swap everything over. My chassis is fairly shagged.

[Niva]
