Oh I saw that too! Looks darn good

So.. how much will cost to put a std 1jz into e46 body? Is it 10k is enough?

 

[wazza]

NO

the engine and transmission might cost under 10k.
wiring , workmanship etc, another 5k

dont forget new parts.
gaskets, bearings, bolts, fluids etc.

and then - the main issue on the e46 - rear subframe mounting. That thing WILL CRACK AND TEAR. google it, no joke.
that needs to be fixed.

also - stronger axles. Mine snapped on my stock 2j the first time i lanuched. a quick fix would be changing to FULL M3 rear (diff, axles, brakes and all).

if you're serious about this - pm me.

Thanks mate.
it's an ongoing experience, owning and RUNNING a conversion.
The satisfaction is worth it though.

Good find!!!!

and for those of you who thinks German Soul + Jap Heart is TABOO， then please see this (although long time these two big company talk kok sing song no proof, don't know got real action or not?).

Hence it's no TABOO for DIY German Soul + Jap Heart.

It's meant to be. Please DO more of it.

After endorsed by jpj, how about resale / name transfer? I heard that when swap engine with other brand, the grant called 'geran mati'- cannot change ownership anymore. Is it true or just myth?

Read that ad. which cost RM5k, which i hav doubts as well...
Am tempted to change to 1JZ but wanna know what is the cost, probs and parts that need to be change except for engine and gb...rear axle, brakes, exhaust would cost a bomb altogether
