i had to put the lower one on twice cause i got it on the first time and then realized i couldnt get a hose clamp on, if anyones trying to do it motor in the car and sitting far back what i did was tool a 3/8 extension stuffed it down the hose to straighten it out. lubed the hose up abunch and then pushed and twisted the hose onto the nipple

Barring a supercharger kit from australia for 5-6k, or a custom turbo kit, i'll be installing the engine and ENJOYING it. Not constantly messing with it. Im at the point in my life where id much rather be enjoying DRIVING my cars than messing with them to the point where they are no longer streetable, or they require time with a tuner that lives hours and hours away and i have to take off school and work just to have my car "tuned". No, if i were going to consider standalone i'd just do a different swap altogether. I just want the 300bhp and instant v8 tq. I could care less about spending 1500-2000 for another 30-50hp.
I really dont appreciate that you consider im "cheaping out" by not going standalone. Not everyone that does a swap is going to do a standalone, not all of us want track cars, not all of us want super highly modded cars we can tune whenever we want. To each their own, some want standalones, some dont want to bother with it and are totally happy with what they have because maybe some just want to swap the engine in and thats it.
All i was wondering is what the durability of the ka trans seems to be. Personally, i think it may be wise to go ahead and to the CD009 swap. Which is actually cheaper than a R154 swap, but people do still have probs with the cd009, although its most likely due to driver error/abuse.
If you're going to call someone cheap, explain once again why you're going with a early 1uz vs any other swap?

people go with the early 1uz because they're cheap and easy, the vvti motors remove that from the equation. im by no means saying the vvti ones aren't great motors they just have more hassles to deal with
and personally i went with the early 1uz because i had a 92ls400 as a daily, then my neighbor hit it while it was parked and wrote it off, the motors in excellent condition with low kms and i know the history, not to mention the internals on the early ones are stronger
and to top it off im incredibly cheap

I don't think he meant to call you cheap.
Can we please not turn this thread into a war of words?

very much this, i wasn't meaning to offend, i was just trying to point out that its a motor swap with a complicated motor, if your not wanting to spend 600 to get the immobilizer delete then maybe that motor isn't the best option for you
