So far thats what tickles my fancy. i tried to remove engine today but i was really busted up by the flu and the sun just whooped my ass so i quit for now. will resume tomorrow. hopefully i will remove the engine and put it away. i wont be using it. however if my cash dosent look healthy i just might build it into the GTE engine with a simple head change and oil hole drilling. i am taking my time on this one since most of the work is on the engine. the body is great. searched for damage and found minimal rust spots. like $100 worth of body work lol. but i will prevent any deteriroration in the future with some good anti-rust coating. no sound damping needs to be done since toyota did that with a thick carpet. weighs about 50 pounds lol. kidding but it should be heavy. weight reduction might not be too much of an option for me since the chasis is well, like a....... toyota bus lol. hence why i cant use coilovers. coil spring and shock in the middle. but whatever, better can be done by throwing out the driver seat which is powered. put it light racing seats in the front. i wanna weigh the car after i have a basic completion when it finally come from the body shop. damn man, the thing weighs 3500 pounds man. anyway, my main objective is to tune the 1JZ-GTE for optimum torque. horsepower not my main worry because to shoot a car like this one forward with anger one needs realistic torque.

will post updates and photos as the project progresses. meanwhile i am feeding off jzx100.com and projectna-t.com also i am on cardomain.com

stay tuned

[Preppy]

about time you posted up your crown, waiting to see its progress. question, what tranny are you talking bout? manual or auto? any benefit over the tranny paired with the VVTi unit over the non VVTi?

[TheGoodGuy]

This ought to be interesting!!

[motion sickness]

Why are you replacing the head gasket? Will the wheels clear the supra calipers. Do you know for sure the AGX suspension will fit because we basically have the same frame code, JZS141 / 147, and they don't make AGX struts to fit my car?

Paint the car RSP blue from the supra.

[scientist]

In response to motion sickness

1. The car had engine trouble
2. The rims that are going on the car will clear the calipers.
3. Does your car have seperate shock and spring?

[shreddaz]

nice project man. Can't wait to see the finished product.................................................in the mean time.....................RVR CONVERSION AND BOOSTing COMING SOON!! Its about time i whooped some REAL asses . But um, question? Who will be the NEXT king???(crown? )

[motion sickness]

Yes my car has a separate shock and spring just like the Aristo. If the engine is being replaced why the head gasket?

[scientist]

DOn't know if he mentioned it, the block is being reused. He's getting a deal on a Head, Harness, ECU and trans from a 1JZ-GTE equipped car.
The bottom end on the donor motor isn't salvageable.

So he is beginning the process of overhauling the bottom end for boost.
