Cressida - tell me bout urs  

1.5jz cressida

normal street tires the mt's didnt fit so we thought we'd go for shits and gigs and busted that, my 60 is shit easy 10sec car

sleepercorty

also need to update the 1jz list with FORCD cressida mx83 auto 11.10 124mph 1.620 60 foot street tires

Im in the process of making some jzx81 engine brackets the ones that bolt to the block, im using my factory jzx81 alloy brackets and making a jig and then making them out of plate steel. price will be $150 for the pair plus postage. these will bolt 1jz/2jz into mx83 (with series 2 crossmember) with the standard cressida rubbers. i had to make some sets for a couple of mates and thought while i was going might as well make some extras to make it worth my while.
will have them finished by saturday and put some pictures up if anyone is interested

those mounts look identical to the ones on my cressy, basic no nonsense design i guess

What axles are u guys using? I have a locker and a 1j in mine and it gets used for drifting/the occasional red light battle. Anyone have trouble with them breaking?

Hey guys just a few quick questions. i blew the head up in my mx83 (7mge) last week and im just wondering where i could get a new (reconditioned) complete head from? ive tried google and all i seem to get are places in america or old threads from toymods and the like from 2009 lol. also just wondering how much im looking at to fix this. i will be doing it myself, but just want an estimate costing.

blitz101

try toymods.com or toyotacressida.net plenty of answers on there otherwise ill be ding a 2jz swap soon ill sell you my 7mge still runs and has already had head gasket replaced. lol

boosted31

will do man, im kinda thinking i should leave it of the road for a bit and just put a 1j in now. save doing it later lol

SleepyCressida

Go supercheap, buy a bottle of 'Seal Up'. Cost less than $20.
Used numerous times, fixed my 7M for a good 10,000+km. Follow instructions, takes less than an hour.

boosted31

I thought of that TBH lol. But im going to pull the head off on wednesday and take it to a machinist and go from there. If the head is fine and was just the gasket i'll be a happy man lol.

SleepyCressida

It would be just the gasket. It's design floor from Toyota. They torqued the gasket down with to little lb of pressure. So you should be good.

sleepercorty

depends if your talking about mx73 or mx83, mx73 have 27 spline axles which are okay but not massive, where as mx83 have 30 spline axles which are super strong good for 1000hp

boosted31

Yeah i know about the design flaw, and thats what im hoping it is lol. Would it be best to get some ARP head studs or similar while im at it mate or just torque the std. Ones properly?

SleepyCressida

ARP if you plan on keeping 7M for a long duration.
IMO I'd go 1j just less hassle in the long run, 7M is going to give you a shit load of oil leak problems, etc.

boosted31

yeah i plan on putting in a 1j soon, i just don't want to be spending money on the 7m anymore.
cheers for the help mate.

WotLag

This i didnt know. Lol cheers. Il stop worrying then. Its an mx83. Silver, stockies, straw hat on parcel tray, 1j, 16 psi lol

bazr33

Will look forward to hearing the results

sleepercorty

sweet i was thinking about racing saturday but see what happens

pig060

just took it for a drive and clutch doesnt feel right so i have to get that sorted out tommorrow hopefully just needs to be bleed or a minor ajustment.

pig060

all done. had afew minor issues with the tune but its really rich and safe with 523@23psi so happy enough with that for now

bazr33

yeeeoowww!!! cracks the 500's.
how'd the setup with the 2nzfe coils go, no signs of breakdown?
Heard running rich, so still more room for adjustment and boostage?

1.5jz cressida

update got the whole bottom end assemble tomorrow, pick the head up monday should be all together monday then rego then tune

sleepercorty

update 10.15 @ 134mph as usual only the one run before getting booted, so definately cage time now and 9 wont be far away

1.5jz cressida

^^^^^^ i hate you

pig060

yeah coils went good there was abit of a joke being from a yaris hahahahaha. but they didnt miss fire at all. i thought he would have put some more boost into it but proberly good thing anyway so i wont hurt it. still got more in it but like he said better to just keep it nice a fat and know it will go all day every day. still enough power to have fun with room to move if need be.

sleepycorty- sweet time and nice 60 updated the cressida 1j list (your number one)

blackers10

nice work everybody with their latest developments!!

sleepercorty

yay finally number one lol

pig060

now you need to beat 9.11@153 to be the fastest 1jz. derek did that the other night on 100% internal stock 1jz dam there great engines

sleepercorty

haha maybe if i sell my other cars i could get there, but honestly i will be happy with 9.9 as it still get driven alot on the street so dont want to ruin that

1.5jz cressida

so is kristian the fastest street driven cressida in oz?

pig060

yep. fastest street driven 1jz cressida in aus. the other street driven car was (jay skid car) run 10.1 but with 2j manual.
