Help: E32 engine conversion to Toyota 1JZ

[re8storm]

Bros,I'm considering converting my old 89' E32 730i's engine to a Toyota 1JZ 2.0 turbo as my engine & gearbox is already due for major overhaul making it more economically viable to change to 2.0 Jap engine especially in view of the roadtax & fuel savings. Any advice on the cost and tecnical problems which may be faced as well as any recommendations on which workshops which can take the project is much appreciated.Thanks & regards,Dave

The 2.0 engine is 1G-GTE bro... 1JZ is 2.5L. If you're looking for fuel saving, 1J is not a good option

Bro, sorry but I disagree with your statement lah. 1JZ FC is Ok. My E34 1JZ getting average 26 cents pr/km. Don't forget E32 is a very heavy car, if you put in 1G-GTE (which is 2 liter) you will need to accelerate more to move the car.
To move a heavy E32, you will need at least 1JZ to enjoy the power. Of course 2JZ better if you can.
