swapping 1jzgte in to mx83

[Guest bgjustin]

i was just wondering what mounts i should use and if i will have to get a differnt driveline made to make the swap work does any one know????

use RB20 to S13 mounts. they fit.

 

also, an automatic driveshaft from an LS400 works with both W58 and R154.

Duct tape works in place of any high dollar mounts,

and stock driveshaft will fit, just move the differential 2" forward with the adjustments on it.

go to a driveshaft shop and have them custom make you a transmission case so you don't have to worry about a bellhousing. or just chop the front of the automatic bellhousing off and weld it to the front of any 5-speed transmission. the driveshaft can be made from spare exhaust pipe if you have any lying around, just make sure you do the welding right and fill it with sand to act as a counterweight.

 

for mounts, just put the motor in the bay and put a jack under the oil pan, and use it to hold the motor in place, then just find any good grade 8 bolt and drill a hole through the crossmember at the angle needed to thread it into the block. then get yourself some quick set epoxy and squirt it all over the bolt to act as an isolator.

 

boom. done.

It's so refreshing to see the helpful, friendly side of JZXP. This thread is particularly well deserving as it's a complete never before asked question with valid results that I'm sure many friendly new faces will enjoy using especially after not feeling the need to create an introduction. Kudos gentleman!

I used the mounts of my old 22re pickup similar to the ones on the 4runner, as for the driveshaft i took it to a exhaust shop and had them weld from each u joint a piece of thickest piping he had.

 

I should of ask befor doing it cause my has a slight vibration, should of put sand in their to act as my counterweight.

Oh yeah this is weird but i used the clutch out of a dodge ram too, the one thats used in the cummings powered trucks.

engineering genius.

[Guest Gaijin Smash Wayhoff]

All these helpful posts and not one thank you... for shame.

Drive shafter from and old exhaust, I never would of thought!!

 

I just use good old 2x4's!!! Hammer a couple together, cut to length with a nice hand saw, then toss on a lathe and hand carve it till it's perfect round, then just use some JB weld to attache some auto back strapping material to bolt to diff. Then I will hand carve the end and toss into the transmission and be good to go!

 

Then I go eat Poutine!

dude how fucking awesome would it be to turn a wooden driveshaft on a lathe and put some nice fucking accents on it like a table leg? just make sure you use oak or some other hardwood and stain the fuck out of it for longevity's sake.

[Guest Gaijin Smash Wayhoff]

Mahogany driveshafts FTW!

You could also maybe make a turbo blanket out of rich corinthian leather and make sure you always carry a bottle of port in the glovebox. on it's side the cork will stay wet and the movement of the car would keep it from settling.

[Guest RoyRogers]

JUST ORDERED MY DRIVESHAFT!!!!! 100% REAL WOOD MADE FROM A REDWOOD TREE. WITH BLACK IRON ACCENTS TO BALANCE SHAFT, BLACK IRON SPLINE FOR TRANNY AND BLACK IRON FLANG FOR DIFF/ W CHERRY STAIN. SOO BOSS!

any of you guys having problems with your polyurethane ring and pinion sets? for some reason mine keep getting eaten up within a few days of installation.

[Guest DuaxMachine]

Did you forget to have it Cryo Treated ?

[ChriSOL 0]

nope i wanted to make a welded diff so i filled the entire diff housing with JB weld.

[Guest DuaxMachine]

Well, check your diff lube for poly worms then.

I've seen it a few times, especially if you run left over pountine gravey.

Here is a link to the problems using gravey lube:

[Guest Aweakling]

Turn signal fluid will kill poly worms.

[Guest DuaxMachine]

bigtoe, are not hockey puck mounts just for people who eat pountine ?

 

I though cajuns used dried oil globules found floating in the gulf.

Just pick them up off the beach, wet them with hot souce cutting fluid so they can be drilled, and bolt the mothers on.

I ordered a brand new JDM wooden drive shaft and it had a crack. I was just wondering, is it ok to run it like that or should I reinforce it with electrical tape?

 

 

HALP!! PLEEEEEZ!
