JustPaus_88TSi Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 It depends on your power goals. You can use a $250 SAFC II or a $5,000 Motec and everything inbetween, MAP ECU, HKS F-CON, Greddy Emanage, AEM FI/C, AEM EMS, Haltec, Autronic, Pro-EFI. That GT45 depending on which version(78 or 80.8mm) it is will make WAY more power. That is a BIG turbo and is fully capable of making 700rwhp@18psi on pump gas and well over 1000rwhp at full tilt with C16 if the wastegate doesn't choke it. Unless its the Ebay "GT45", then who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screemin eagle Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 looks great man congrats. did you just hammer out your trans tunnel or did you cut it out and section it. i couldnt get min to fit up into the tunnel that snug. i cut the rubber out of my tranny mount and shortened it to about 3" and well solid mounts suck. i dunno how the car is gonna run with the 2j in it on the stock rear gears but with the 4g63 and r154 off boost kinda sucks 1st gear is more like 2nd but then again i have no torque.

Actuallyi didn't have to use the BFH, i'm using the w58 tranny. It's not as wide as the ri54. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serpentkilla Posted September 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Here are a list of links for parts i used engine http://motors.shop.ebay.com/merchant/jdm_p...c0Q2em14?_pgn=3 radiator http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CXRacing-Ra...d=p4506.c0.m245 upper radiator pipe http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...tn%3D2%26ps%3D5 ic piping http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CXRacing-2-...id=p3911.c0.m14 Got part numbers for power steering from here http://www.starquestclub.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=54905 intercooler, the one i used was a bit taller but this one will be a bit better cuz it will allow more air for the radiator and should fir between the rails. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CXRacing-In...id=p3911.c0.m14 Exhaust, i used my existing exhaust and used some pipes i had laying around to tie it in. u will need a 90, depending on where u cut it, a straight. make sure the flange is there if planning on keeping the twins. hope this helps anyone else attempting to do this.

Dave-O Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Very nice. Let me know how that W58 holds up, I can get them for pretty cheap locally, and might consider one for a 4G63 swap in the Conquest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats good enough for me until i get the r model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionbull Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 (edited) Sounds about right. The OEM ECM cannot be tuned that I know of. Most people who tune 2JZs go with an Apex PowerFC or AEM standalone. I personally know a guy running a 2j quest in brooklyn red r04 with nothing but a vpc+safc. when that set up was in the supra with went 10's all day. the turbo is a gt42 Edited September 8, 2009 by lionbull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strang3majik Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Yes, thanks. i should have done this a long time ago. When are you going to be back in the area? lol...well...now its done.

JustPaus_88TSi Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Since "tuning" is something new for me... what is a VPC? VPC stands for Vein Pressure Converter, which electronically and physically removes the highly restrictive mass airflow sensor from the intake tract. It's commonly used with a BCC(boost cut eliminator). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustPaus_88TSi Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Desert_Starions old neighbor swapped a 2JZ into his, he lives in Phoenix. I've never seen him online though. Other than that, I can only think of Tony at UMS who bought his daughter a SQ. He mentioned wanting to drop a twin turbo 350z motor into it. If you meant is anyone doing this sort of thing with 2JZ's in general, then yes. AZ has some of the fastest supra's in the country, with a few shops who build them.

screemin eagle Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about time u get of your lazy arse and stop procrastanating lol 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? :eek1bluegreen: And last but not least can you fly down to North Carolina and do my swap for a case of beer? :eek1bluegreen: *******This is the most important one of all so take your time before you answer.....

JustPaus_88TSi Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
