1980 244 GLE, 1JZ / A340 swap

Brendon

Completed swapping 2 litre 4cylinder and 3 speed, for a 2.5 litre and 4 speed. Went with a Toyota 1JZ-GE and A340E.

Happy to discuss and answer questions about the swap. Here are some of the bits done along the way:

Custom engine mounts, modified transmission mount, custom driveshaft, custom driveshaft safety hoops, modified fuel system, custom electric cooling fan (pusher), custom speedo drive, Drive by wire throttle/ pedal, custom engine/ trans/ fuel system wiring, aftermarket ECU, custom ignition, custom exhaust, various other bits and pieces…..

Throw up some photos and a bit more information for sure. I'd be interested to see more information on the DBW pedal setup you used in a 240.

Brendon

GingerNinja Let me know what information you'd like. And I'll do my best to answer. Or if there is a specific pic of something, and I'll see what I can do. cheers

I like the engine mounts, very neat!

Brendon

dmc Thanks. They were V2. V1 didn't pass certification here in NZ. V1 took up less room and were more "elegant", in my opinion….but I can't certify them, so V2 came along. V1 was a little more race car, sound wise. V@ are quiet, using Toyota oem rubber mounts.

@Brendon he or she posted a few odd comments in a few threads, I wouldn't read too much into that post ... except to just accept the fact that, just generally, you're right. 🙂

Phew! Wondered if I was showing my age. And it was new language I'd missed out on 😉
