G'day! , Name is Mick.
I've just recently acquired a uzz31 soarer. well she will be a UZ for another week or so then she will be turning into JZZ31. the car was bought as a donor for a mates MX83 conversion and was going to be scrapped shortly after.. i couldn't let it happen so i have taken claim to her once the delicate surgery is done. i already have a 1jz from a jza70 as the new heart for the car and already has the usual suspect upgrades like turbo, intake, fuel system an engine management( it was going into my old MA61 supra but i have had to move on from it.
I've always had a soft spot for the soarer and always wanted one from the day i laid eyes on them, and now i finally have my own fixer upper!

Just before anyone else says it see if you can find a Soarer with a 1jz already in it and use bits from the doner car to make it better. They are so cheap these days it's a lot of work just to get something that you can buy anyway for almost the same money as what you can sell the engine for. And you will be left with a car of spares.
The swap is possible of course but can't recall anyone on here who has done it.

Thanks scott. ill work it all out eventually but the more info i can find the better. I'm not new to the engine conversion side of things as i had the 1j running in my supra, but with the engine going back into a soarer i want to keep it as clean as possible
