1jz E36 BMW frankensteining

Yes i have bought the half cut, it's a 2001 Toyota Crown from engine to gearbox and long shaft. I have a mechanic did the conversion before, so i am counting on him to complete the swap.

What's the estimated power with 0.8 bar of boost ?

I honestly don't know. I'm currently running 1 bar with an oversized turbo generating 360ish hp on mainline which is a heartbreaker dyno.

Anyway, having a good mechanic knowing what to do is key so thumbsup
 
Yeah. For some reason the VVTI ones are never tuned for big horsepower. It's the non-VVTI ones that hit the high 500-800 ranges

The reason I say the swap will be hard is because it's more than 30% increase. I know of a lot of BMW converts with a "dibatalkan" or something on their reg cards and although road legal, they can't be transferred as is to a new owner. Mine was a 328i converted to a 1JZ, so there was a decrease in capacity from 2.7L to 2.5L and my reg card is clear and transferrable. There shouldn't be any cutting on the body or subframe for a 1JZ fitment. There are plenty of aftermarket mounting kits, gearbox adapter kits and all for our kind of car. Let me know if you need clarification on anything, I've learnt through the painful way on how the car works, registered, endorsed, built and all that.

The auto diff and manual diff have different final drives. I am using an auto 328i diff now so the RPM at high speeds is a bit high for my 5speed manual but for an auto slushbox should be just nice. If you find any manual diffs let me know - I wanna swap mine out.

Stock boost for the 1JZ should be 0.3bar, very conservative. Up it to 0.8bar and you'll have a very nice to drive stock 1JZ without any serious mods.

Have you bought your engine yet?

I highly doubt the stock boost is as conservative as 0.3bar la. Surely at least 0.5-0.8bar punya. Even my Volvo people panggil 'soft turbo' but nmgh check OBD it's boosting 0.8bar lol


we talking jz la apasal ini UZ come out oi

You're my turbo guru. If you say 0.8 the it's 0.8 man
 
Guys,

Try Rampage motorsports in Glenmarie. They've built a lot of BMW-JZ monsters in their past

Called but they no longer perform the conversion, otherwise i will send my ride there without thinking, i live in Glenmarie. He is recommending the other guy for me now.

Thanks,
Ken
