lmao, hell freaking no. this is it, if this dont work out then im out for real.

I will pm you tomorrow. I am curious about your g54b experirnce though

[screemin eagle]

i say the red quest with the 2jz in it myself and heard about the setup in the previous car. vpc's are great if you can find one that works right they have been discontinued by hks for a while now. my buddy runs a map ecu in his sc 300 car made good power but doesnt idle for crap could be he is an idiot though. when you go r 154 get out the BFH your gonna have to beat the hell out of the tunnel to get it to squeeze up in there  trust me also might wanna look for some 3:90's to go with it

The r154 will come later along with something special. I just want to enjoy the car and maintain, and not constantly fixing something.

Just thought I'd post and say:

THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!!!!!!   

My jz motor and trans will be here next week. Hope you were right when you said it wasnt that bad. I knew I should have never called you on the phone....

So make sure your ready for all the ???'s I am gonna have and keep your cell phone charged up.

Thanks for giving me the extra little push I needed to get started on this.

Ok so I went 1JZ for alot of personal reasons the main one  being $$$. A few questions for our readers.

What are you using for cooling fans?

Did your front bumper fit back on after you crammed all that radiator and intercooler in there?

Do you have a pic with bumper back on yet?

Can you take a more detail pic of where you ran the harness and ecu location?

And last but not least can you fly down to North Carolina and do my swap for a case of beer?
*******This is the most important  one of all so take your time before you answer.....

As always thanks for the help,

I too would like to see how the harness was routed.  

Damn it I wish I'd never seen this thread....

What is the difference between the 1JZ and 2JZ?

[JustPaus_88TSi]

1JZ=2.5L I6 DOHC etc..
2JZ=3.0L I6 DOHC etc..


And you can frankenstein them and create what is called a 1.5JZ

Hey James the bumper is on in the pics i have listed. I took the ac out so the coil thats in the car is gone to. where the lines came out thru the firewall, i elongated the hole and ran harness there. if you look at the pic u can see it off to the left. The ecu i have behind the glove box. i had to cut the back side of the glove box out to do it this way.

Hey Craig, heres what i did for now.



I made a sleeve out of pvc for now, depending on how it feels i will use steel. i just used what i had.

[serpentkilla]

Cleaned up the inside today, and i fixed my e brake it's only been like 2yrs. Took the measurements for the driveshaft today so i will try to drop it of on monday. so hopefully if all goes well i can take it out next weekend.

What is the difference between the 1JZ and 2JZ?

Ok so heres the diff depending on year:

1JZ 8.5-1 compression
2jz  9.0-1 compression i think

1jz map sensor
some 2jz mass air flow

1jz non interference engine( timing belt breaks @7000 rpm's no damage)
2jz interfence engine ( timing belt breaks @ 7000 rpm's get out your check book and cry)

1jz Parallel twin turbos ( both turbos spool together)
2jz sequential turbos (frt turbo spools first then second turbo spools and first turbo stops done to cut down on turbo lag)

1jz 280 hp
2jz 320 hp

main difference is bore and stroke, blocks are the same and heads vary a little
and like post above u can put the better 1jz head on a 2jz block and make better power.

and price 1jz auto 1000 - 1300 2jz auto 1800-2300
              1jz 5speed 1700-2000 and 2jz 5speed 2300-2800 2jz 6speed 5500-6500

there also seem to be more parts readily availible for the 1jz although many parts work on either

Well thats about all I know about them at this time. Both are very good engines with very strong internals which allow big hp with little to no bottom end changes.

Feel free to add to or change any info I have listed I am by no means an expert on these motors this is just what I have read online.

Thanks,
James


PS Perez

Thanks for the quick response and pics they helped alot but you never answered the last question....
Hope mine goes as easy as yours...thx James

Higher compression 2JZGE VVTI motors are, yes.

2JZGTE's are not interference motors with the stock compression ratio unless you use the JUN(10mm lift), GSC S1 or HKS 280 cams, but HKS 264's and 272's are good to go unless you deck the block and plane the head.  Go with a higher compression ratio piston, and this changes though.

A kevlar belt and billet tensioner would be something to get if you built it into an interference motor.

Yep your right I miss read sorry,
It said 1jz's 1996 and newer vvt engines are interference due to a change in compression ratio 8.5:1 to 9.0
thanks for the additional info. Been reading up on these motors so much its all starting to blurr together.

[supturbo]

you got a front sump 1jz right?
I am running spal 16 inch on a griffin ( I had to have the welding shop do some customizing as the rad is not quite stock spec)- this big of a fan posses more fabing, but 3000 cfm is worth it.    It pulls air through both intercooler and rad.  I did have to cut some of the bottom spoiler to fit the intercooler 31x3x11.   The bumper is the least of your problems really as it can be beaten to conform to almost anything - lol - I am still working out a few things on my swap, but they are I think fuel delivery issues as I am still trying to run the stock pump- I need driveshaft made and than put the dash back together with gauges.  I cant wait to pull this thing out of the garage on its own power...Good luck - If you have questions I can maybe help.   I know Highly Boosted was a great help to me-

[AzStar]

Did highly boosted every figure out the front sway bar issue?

If there are enough of these *JZ swaps going on, could we get a custom bar made that would fit that application?

[supturbo]

I think he is still running without one -
