Possible...can you measure how deep that hole is that the shifter sits into? Much thanks if you can

[jbjslambert]

got the engine sitting in for mock up. also,got it started today just to make sure of everything before the start up warranty runs out.

the engine is sitting about as far back as i can get it. Will trim off a threaded tab on the back of the intake below the vacuum port to make it clear the master cylinder better. brake lines will need to be changed. maybe go to a banjo fitting style connection. waiting on my Collins adapter to mock up the trans and shifter...






^^ video of it running on the floor

[jubee]

How to start your 2JZGTE VVTI on the floor. alot of people have done it but none post how they(DICKS) did it.

This is how I did it and i assume no responsibility to anyone messing up their ECU or burning down their garage. lol

I used Wilbo's pin out
http://wilbo666.pbworks.com/w/page/4...ngine%20Wiring



FUEL
I took an old fuel pump a buddy(The Heeb) had from his D21 sitting around. Wired it straight to a battery with a switch on the floor and cut open an old 1 Gallon fuel can and submerse the pump. Fuel goes in at the bottom by the starter, the return is underneath the intake. The fuel lines on my swap was left long so i didnt have to splice in or anything.

Electrical
Starter and ground straight to the battery.



F59 This connector was missing from my swap. Got it from a 99 Lexus RX300 ECU, pass side kick panel

I wired the STA wire with PIN 8 wire on BF2. tells the ECU that its cranking


F60 found same as F59

+12 Volts on +BM, BATT, +B2, +B, and IGSW
Some are constant, some are switched. but for our purpose here, wire them all together and straight to the battery. I used a large wire nut to hold them together and added a single wire to the battery.

BF2 I got this male side of the connector from 99 Lexus RX300 drivers side kick panel


PINS 6,7,9 all to the battery. Once again I just used a wire nut to put them all together added a forth to the battery.

PIN 8 is the starter solenoid wire.


TRANSMISSION
The automatic's PARK is all they back towards the driveshaft.


I was loosing injector pulse and the engine would only fire for a second. Turned out to be the coil pack connectors was damaged and ECU was shutting down fuel as well. i did a temp fix on the connectors and she fired right up and idled.

Thank you sir, you're the man

I know this has been asked alot but how cheap can this swap be done nowadays? I have around 8k, and not looking to get too crazy with it yet will want it done right. If I'm able to fabricate everything I need, thus not needing to buy a kit, tube the front to have some more wiggle room, and etc; can it be done within my budget?

I don't have a S13 chassis yet which is the big question mark. Would a stock KA'd car solve any issues as far as various hoses, and random stuff that can switch over when compared to just a rolling shell? Like everyone, I have big ambitions for a 240 build but would hold off on a kit/wheels and other form stuff if a JZ swap could be reasonably attainable within my budget.

8k is more than enough for a nice 2jz build with either a s14/13 chassis

Shells can be had between 5-2000
Motor and trans 3000
Swap parts another 2-3k (stock turbos)

I am sure it has been covered plenty of times but i cant seem to find it. I am going over my catch can ideas, but i am curious on which way is best to run lines from the valve on the drivers side. Mine is currently plugged since i got it from the shipment. Should i tap it? Weld it? If i tap it has anyone done this personally and know which tap sizes to use? Please reply below or anyone PM me would be even greater!

Anyone know if you need to modify your crossmember with the Xcessive motor mounts?

no crossmember mods needed. oil pan fits in there nice. you will have to take the oil filter adapter off to mount drivers side and you will have to modify the oil return line if you are using the "twins" still

awesome save me a little time and headache. I'm going PTE 6667 so the oil return i think should be fine. Also any recommendations on a decently priced turbo mani? i was thinking quicksilver but havent really had much experience with their products.

I have the new one from cxracing and it actually fits really well. The flanges were flat and the runners were made of much thicker material then before.

Only complaints are the one bolt right by the water neck. its a tight fit in there so that one is hard to tighten.

Also since the first runner is made to fit around a turbo with a huge comp cover the bolt to remove the tstat housing cant be removed once its on. solved that by getting a rotation adapter.

Holiday price on this brand new never used Tweakd 2jzgte vvti into s13 harness. $550 shipped anywhere in the u.s!!!!!! Text me at 405-837-5212 if interested

[HypnoFish]

At a toss up, my engine harness will accept a 2jz ecu, so ive been looking at standalones. I run an aem in my SC but it seems like it can be a bit finicky. what are you guys using?

Friend of mine has been mentioning the haltech elite lately.

[91ka24]

I run aem v2 and love it! What issues are u having?

[ThanatosG]

Man you should put that harness up on ebay. Global exposure. Probably sell quick.

[91ka24]

I may. I'm really surprised no one has bought it yet though. This is $350 less then from tweakd lol

[pheoxs]

If I could use that harness for my 1jz non vvti I'd happily snatch it up

[HypnoFish]

I have a harness for a non vvti 1j into s13. if you are interested.

as for the aem it seems to run just really inconsistently.

Can you describe the inconsistency?

I have an AEM EMS V2. on a JDM 2JZ-GTE. and the car ran great for a good while after i had it tuned, then it seemed to have an issue, had the tune checked then it ran good, then it went weird. Now this year i've been fighting running issues, not sure if it's the AEM's fault or the old wiring harness or what.

[ATLspeed]

Radiator hose popped one me...tsk tsk. Had a very very very small hole in it that didn't leak but a drip would bleed through every few days or so. Don't think my fans kicked on which caused the high pressure.

*Had this OBX Silicon Radiator hose for years of abuse, the little hole just made a weak point.

[monks]

Whos a reliable company to get a complete vvti 1jz swap through

And what final drive size are most of you guys using with the r154 tranny?

[KrisfromBelloAuto]

im in the same boat also. Ive heard mixed reviews about the aem ems v2 i dont know if i should go with the haltech PS2000 or the aem ems. HMM

You guys having a problem with the power steering fluid being pushed out of the reservoir? It's pissing me off [emoji34] S13 with JDM 2JZ the pump starts screaming after pushing out some fluid

[91ka24]

Sounds like you have a leak somewhere, or the pump is bad

Are you using Dexron ATF for your power steering. I remember when I had my supra, you had to use ATF as opposed to "power steering" fluid. I think you can use either Dexron II or III.
