not always cheaper.....
My last engine swap, and general car build, was a pain in the butt, which was meant to be easy, hence the petty questions. Thanks for the response guys, sounds like theres some clued up people here.
So specifically I can swap the non turbo 2J in with just a loom/mount swap? Will this cause any conflicts with the instrument cluster and it's readings? Im assuming they use the same sensors and voltage ranges etc. Assuming just have to switch motor, ecu, and engine loom.
will the V8 go in very easily with a front cut using it's looms/mounts and wiring without any of the aforementioned instrument cluster issues?
Instrument cluster has be a bit worried.
I might keep it 1J, but there is solid reasoning behind this from my recent experience and personal taste.
