Actually tried one day at work and couldnt get it to work and gave up...lol. Thanks for posting them. I still need to figure out what is wrong with the Idle control valve. I should be able to get back at it around the end of December. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(yes more work) but all you need is an engine lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(yes more work) but all you need is an engine lift. thats the route I was going to take. but if there was a way to slide the whole assembly in without cutting the support and without having to lower the car on the engine.

Confuzd Posted October 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 I put my engine in without the tranny. I had to turn the engine sideways a bit but we got it in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87quest_stv Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 How hard was it to get the tranny mounted up.. I have tranny jack, so hopefully make it easier.. also what problems did you have with the clutch install and how did you resolve it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laodicea Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 I had to lift the car up a mile to get it in. I just used the engine lift and regular jack with a little brace that I made to go on the jack to hold the tranny from falling over. http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/gr8white1/2JZ%20Project/DSC01269.jpg http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t18/gr8white1/2JZ%20Project/DSC01268.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confuzd Posted April 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 I havent gave up on this project. I've been super busy with work and planning a wedding. Im getting married on May 29th. Hopefully I'll be able to get back to this thing some time in June. I actually drove the car this past August from my dad's shop over to my new place. The trans felt good and didnt have any issues other than the alternator not working. Wish I would have tested it before I put the motor in the car. I still need to mount my ECU, have an exhaust made for it, and have someone tune it for me. I'm pretty excited about getting married but it's sucking away all my mod money...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confuzd Posted July 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 So I've finally been able to get back to my ride. I've got the alternator issue worked out. I didn't have it wired right. I hate wiring. The thing fires right up. It idles a little funky at first and you have to help it stay going. I still have to figure out my ICAV. It's sucking tons of air. Ive just capped it off for the time being. Right now I'm needing to knock out mounting the ECU. Does any of you 2jz guys have pictures of how you mounted your ECU in the car??? I've mocked mine up but I don't know if it's going to be sturdy enough. Any pics you guys have would help a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbruneaux Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Great job sticking with it. More pics and vids! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confuzd Posted July 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 I did get it mounted. I'm not sure Im going to be able to run that big black box where the A/C condenser was but oh well. I'll rig something up so it can pass air through there. I'll post some pics later.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confuzd Posted August 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 So I took the Quest to Eurowise in Charlotte Friday to have the exhaust done. Can't wait to see and hear this thing once they get it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

importwarrior Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 what are they hand rolling the pipe?this usually takes a Full day to do even with a custom turbo back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needsq Posted August 12, 2014 Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 (edited) Im late to the party, but here is my ecu mounted with the igniter http://i813.photobucket.com/albums/zz57/almostawesome/100_0509-XL_zps8d35b945.jpg Edited August 12, 2014 by needsq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confuzd Posted August 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Yeah, hand rolling is the preferred method there. They are ordering the muffler for me and he needed some pipe is the word I got. I'm not rushing them. I just want some good quality work done. I still have a good bit to do on this thing and I don't have unlimited funds to get it all knocked out in a hurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
