940 1jz/2jz swap

tilldig · 06-19-2009, 10:36 PM

Hello im new in the forum and from sweden so please excuse my spelling

I have been in thailand 2 times and going for my third in october.
I noticed that i it was very common to do a 1jz/2jz swap in volvos there and was wondering if someone had some info about the rebuild, whats needed, are there any kits/parts for sale?

Sweden says hello

there is a member here (from Brunei i think) who has a 2jz in his 940. Try a search, but i will see if i can find his thread.

Welcome to the board.

It's unlikely there are kits; because you'd be replacing the whole engine & gearbox & electrics it's basically going to be a matter of taking an entire "module" out and replacing it with another entire "module". You'd be mostly up for a lot of mounts, a modified tailshaft, intake tubing, exhaust, some wiring splicing/adapting, and I guess if the shifter was in the wrong spot you might strike some problems there.

'Cos most of the cost is time/labour, and that's pretty cheap in Thailand, my guess is it isn't done with kits.

Can you post links to the threads, my searches haven't turned up anything.

look up info on the s90R, it is an orange s90 in sweden, the guy originally was using a 6cyl whiteblock, and decided it wasnt enough and installed a 2jz.

edit: i was close, he is in norway. here is the thread.\

I guess you might have been wrong about that car in sweden because ive never heard of any one that has done that kind of swap here, but in norway possibly, thanks for the link i will check it upp.
Infector 944 i dont remember the links but i think i searched 1jz swap here in the forum.

Största frågan är alltid samma: varför?

B23 med 16v topp och nåt modernt för grejorna som åker upp o ner borde vara lättare att bygg, lättare att leva med, kosta en bråkdel.
PM om du vill snacka om det.

Var är du hemma hörande därborta?

Jag bor lite utanför Göteborg, tycker självklart ljudet och karaktären är klart bättre i toyota motor än 16v turbo
