Actually, moral of the story is next time do the transplant myself rather than buy one that's relatively unknown in detail.So moral of the story, stock is best? Should have bought the Evo?
lol.
The pain I went through doing the swap on my boat also makes me think bolt on is better than swapping. The more you change/mod, the more problems gonna pop up.
Thanks for the link! Very useful link. I'm not familiar with Mr Lee though. I'll stalk his page from today onwardshttps://www.facebook.com/BMW-convert-club-698781210242962/
maybe can send to this mr lee?
i followed his page since last year and damn.....his works on transplanting jz engines in bmw chassis was very nice and tidy!!
i believe he did some troubleshooting too, for those with wiring problem issues for JZ in conti / other chassis.
transplant engine even on same platform has its own issue. cost me additional close to 50% of the transplant cost to fix the issue but worth it as i get a sleeper car with decent power on demand.Evo probably will have it's own set of headaches that I'd be complaining about. I was looking at the Evo 3, 7 and 9 only and all have their own set of issues man.
Evo3s are probably rust and constantly being hassled by JPJ for being a potential Wira convert.transplant engine even on same platform has its own issue. cost me additional close to 50% of the transplant cost to fix the issue but worth it as i get a sleeper car with decent power on demand.
any critical issue on evo3 ? rust chassis?
you can do it!
Evo 9 wont have the European Ride feel....Evo3s are probably rust and constantly being hassled by JPJ for being a potential Wira convert.
Evo 7 isn't exactly young anymore and extremely hard to find a virgin car. Most have been modded and I don't fancy modded ones.
Evo 9 was too expensive. Couldn't justify the cost vs the age of the car.
And I say all this after my experience with this BMW 1JZ. Sigh. Should've just bit the bullet and bought that Evo 9. Less headache.

Well, also whether like RWD or 4WD?Evo 9 wont have the European Ride feel....
That is something the Evo will never be able to provide.
Evo 3 prices also crazy for its age coz too rare nowadays, even more expensive than 4/5/6/7!?Evo3s are probably rust and constantly being hassled by JPJ for being a potential Wira convert.

Large silver/grey colored one with 4 sport rims and large exhaustU swallow the what color pill? Hahahah...
Actually now with the Bimmer running on hotbits front, custom dunno what rear, it's not exactly Euro either. I'm changing to Ftuned soon. The boss let me sit in his E46 Race spec and my gawd it was so comfortable. So technically my lower end Touge spec should be even comfier.Evo 9 wont have the European Ride feel....

No RAGRETS.. but too late even if I wanted to anyway.
Actually, I found 3 virgin Evo 9s that had stock everything but they were all 130k and more.Evo 3 prices also crazy for its age coz too rare nowadays, even more expensive than 4/5/6/7!?
Evo 9 also not easy finding nearly stock ones, mostly modded.
Grey wrapped silver pill. Bitter like hell but what a kick.U swallow the what color pill? Hahahah...
It's not gonna remain greyLarge silver/grey colored one with 4 sport rims and large exhaust
