1jz/2jz swap kit need input

[Acidz]

that tranny extension will be really hard to find!! when i did the 2JZ swap i went with TDF engine mounts which were up there in price as the swap was still new to the market!

tech 2 makes a great kit & drew is an awesome guy to deal with, but i just bought the mounts for my swap before i found out about the whole tech 2 swap kit.

also regarding that shifter extension thats to fit a mk4 which is almost the same thing as a 240 just isnt as long! regardless thou same idea

[Acidz]

if i was to ever do the swap again & knew how to fab up mounts or other things with a welder or a tig then thats the way to go save urself a lot of $$$, but if money isnt the game and its time then just buy a kit simple drop in and connect everything...

regardless thou the swap by no means is simple even if someone was to buy everything from tech 2....if someone is lookin to do the swap as simple as 1 2 3 then just buy everything from tech 2 & also buy the dvd they sell to swap the motor in....

That dvd is also balls lol it would of helped a lot when i was doing my swap LOL would of saved so many sleepless nights lol!!

im not really sure but from the tranny pics on this thread it looks like its from a supra. now another question. to make this kit cheaper. if you take the mounts comming down from the engine off of a 1jz will they fit on a 2jz?

screw the 154, the v160 is where its at . im happy i used the 6spd its definaely worth the extra work. still kinda suprised more people havent used it

haha, because most off us are broke asses that drive 240's. It would be nice though...

Yeah sure if I had an extra 4k to spend on a V160 getrag and clutch kit,I would do it in a heart beat.

FYI:the r154 is more than enough for S-chassis....just spend your money on a j30,Z32 TT or Skyline rear end....should be able to top out between 180-195mph with that setup.

make sure you fab this kit with the stock twins like tech2 did...some guys will end up running stock twin turbo setups and fitment is a little different...stock rear turbo will hit the fire wall if placed to far back + you wont be able to run the heater lines to the firewall with TT setup in most cases.

[240sx2jz]

i went with the pathfinder diff/ 350z diff and made a new rear subframe instead of hacking up the old one.

[turtle m3th]

^damn! sounds like you've got skrilla! do you care to post any pics?

[240sx2jz]

yea sure here you guys go these pics are from the early stages of the subframe i haven't taken any pics of hte finished product but im sure you get the idea.

[slideways2004]

now that is what i call fabrication. i think everybody doing this swap should ditch the twins and go single.

p.s. what kind of managment is available for this motor? i have seen the PFC but it was listed for the chaser which means VVti. can that work on the regular non-vvti 1jz?

[CKAMC]

people run the greddy ultimate and have no problems with it.

its not the same as when you hook it up to a nissan ecu... toyota ecu's have a massive/crazy daughter board to start with.

or stand alone management like haltech is always a good choice.

[Zilvia4eva]

I have a buddy making 480wrhp with a GT4088 with a afc2,USDM mk4 550cc injectors,walbro pump....on pump

the emanage or map ecu2 would be a better alternative if you are on a budget...timing control,ignition,and injector control...etc all for around $600

[slideways2004]

oh yeah, i heard map ecu was pretty popular with the supra camp

well i have my design all made up im sending some cad drawings to the laser cutting co i go threw. the way i have designed it, the engine sets about 1in off the fire way that way you can use the heater core. You will have to take out the rubber boot on the lower line and cut down the stem. that way the hose is more in the fire wall, so wen it comes out it can reroute to the side and clear the rear turbo. i'll post up some pics of them later tonight or tomorrow.

But I don't know if I will need it or not? I haven't dumped the motor in yet, I'm waiting on a Spec stage 3 to arrive and If you haven't noticed my location...Buffalo. Its cold. But I will do it this week I promise. I will just roll some of the crap out of my garage, fire up the kerosene heater and get to work next to eleanor.

It's Elenor!!! Love both cars! Man someone's rolling in the money.

I too should be starting this project in the next month or 2. I was going to buy the kit and get my wiring done but I may try to do it all myself. I just bought a generator and probe that may make the job eaisier. I mean.......I could buy the materials for what?? 100 bucks and a lincoln 175hd welder for anouther 400-600 bucks.
But what about the driveshaft??? Is there someone that makes just the shaft or do I need to find a motor with a yoke??

Sounds good bro....Also I believe the S13/s14 driveshafts are gonna be different length...so you might have to make one for each chassis,correct?

whats the estimated time before you have these ready?

I may want first dibs...

you should be able to able to purchase the drive shaft from tech2 and use that because the motor can really only sit in one position.

yeh s14 shaft will be slightly longer. est time for selling, shooting for middle of next week. also before i catch shit from anyone i will be setting up a vendor acct.

[meet07]

are all 1jz-gte pinouts on the ecu the same??? Im leaning towards a soarer engine/tranny set and im sure if I need to find the info for the MkIII,Soarer or what???

[turtle m3th]

^ you might be better off asking this on a toyota forum.

[kickertu]

this is alot of good info fellas!
i just sold my sr20, and am purchasing a 2j this week!
i was going to try the notch sub frame first. if that doesnt work, a buddie of mine will weld up some new mounts. i think im gong to eliminate the ABS in my s14 as well.


Im voting to start an AIM list of people doing the swap.
My aim is kickertu
that shoudl help with little questions if they are needed!

[Viggs]

I suppose a AIM thing would be good for fast answers and help. Iceman1151 is my SN

[slideways2004]

anybody that's doing the swap, gonna drift their car?? not like an event or two, but something serious like at least pro-am or something

[SlideWell]

this is my basic knowledge of the swap...

[turtle m3th]

I'll have to hop on aim then cause I only have msn. That would make things a bit more snappy.

[Zilvia4eva]

Any updates on the kit......

[Deftec]

I just ordered my kit from a guy off 2jzswap.com that was abandoning his swap. Can't wait!!!
