Hello all
I am new to the forum and am here hoping to gain information on Toyota's x90 chassis. I've noticed a lot of members on here own and enjoy the x90 and x100 cars so figured if there was any place I would get a definitive answer to my question it would be here:
I have read in a few threads on line stating that installing a 1/2jzgte engine into a gx90 chassis is a complicated process involving swapping out the front crossmember. I would like to know if this is really the case.
I have searched "gx90" and been through the posts and have been unable to come up with a definitive answer. One member describes having to drill 2 additional 10mm holes in the gx90 crossmember to mount a 1jzgte. Is this correct information? Have others had similar experiences?
I ask because I live in Pakistan and have been unable to find any jzx90 cars for sale, I do not believe a single turbo jzx90 car exists in the country for that matter. I have however found a rather minty gx90 that has a wheezing 1GFE in need of at least rings and a head gasket.
I eventually want to put together a 2jzgte / r154 x90.
If one of you could guide me as to whether I can make the jz fit onto the existing gx90 cross member it would be much appreciated. If that is the case I would do the swap directly, maintaining the auto trains for now rather than rebuilding the 1GFE and collecting parts for the future.
Look forward to hearing your responses.
Thank you
