Yeah dude my SR was good but the 1J is better plus that bit of extra weight at the front does make it handle nice

Whats the problems with the standard ignitor?? Can they only work up to a certain level? or was it just a problem with yours?

Looks like a very neat and wicked install, but it must be an animal in a nice light car!

So whats the cost of the conversion if I drop the Silvia off Greg? Ours are gona look the same, they may aswell sound/go the same

The standard ignitor isnt great but i can normally get away with gapping the plugs right down and some really careful fuel tuning i would recommend using the hks DLI with them for big power 2 and 1jz's running Power FC's greddy emanage or HKS fcon

But because im using a Haltech ECU and wasted spark coil pack im loosing a fair bit of charge time so the sparks really weak not even small plug gaps are working

cant wait to get the new coils

Hi , sorry to bother you , we (as a team) are willing to swap our S13 as well , so due to that i have some questions that you maybe could answer .

First of all , why did you choose a 1JZ and not a 2JZ ? what lead you to that decision ? price , spare parts ? something else ?

Another point , why did you turn it to a single turbo ?

How would you rate the swap difficulties concidering we are mechanics as well (not car mechs but we know a bit ^_^) ?

Any other inputs , infos , whatever would be greatly appreciated .

The french frog

edit : forgot to told about the great job you did , and by the way do you have some videos of the car performing on drift with the 1J engine ?
