2JZGTE Swapped S-Chassis thread

[bmaddock]

I've been slow getting this thing together but today might be the day. One fuel line, some small wiring and I should be done.

Gonna repost my tutorial thread for anyone interested. Hopefully last few thatdudeinblue videos are released soon to finish the thread.

nice job on the build and the info bro!!!!!

[240sxrb30]

Does anybody make a adapto plate for a 2j with a rb25 trans? I want to do the cd009 trans but this rb trans is just sitting there. Where's everybody mounting a catch can.

[jbjslambert]

guys that are drifting their 2j's, what temps are you running?

2j vvti with stock twins right now, just ran second event with this package and its hitting 230 degrees. no boiling or puking coolant. i know the sensor in the water neck is going to be the hottest point, but damn. not used to these temps, the old sr would run 180-190 on the hottest days

have mishimoto x line with 2 12" ebay fans with no shroud. looks like im going to get higher cfm fans and try to fit a shroud in there...

[Mister.E]

So this is where im at right now. I highly recommend the Freed mount kit, the fit was perfect and I didn't have to bang out the firewall or anything.

Drifting or not, CFMs are CFMs and those eBay fans are not doing shit for you. Upgrade to some Fals, Altimas, Taurus, IS300 or swap to clutch fan. Any of those are going to be a huge improvement.

Anyone know of any throttle body options that bolt onto the stock plenum? need something shorter than the factory one with the TRC butterfly

You will have to just cut it shorter

Has anyone done the full MC rebuild on the R154 from driftmotion?

In my photo above, you can see that we cut the TRC butterfly out. That pic is before the front piece has been welded back on.

What did you do with the coolant port on the bottom when you cut
it down?

[DETONATION666]

I had both sides of the Trac cut out and then the holes welded shut. My coolant pipes are still there so I still use them. If you want to bypass the TB you can. IIRC one side comes from the head and the other goes to the hardpipe that's bolted to the intake by the mount for the dipstick ...

[DETONATION666]

Or maybe a 1J non vvti TB will fit . It's shorter from what I remember

I cut it off. I live in Vegas so i won't ever be needing coolant to run through the TB.

The hottest my coolant ever got up to was 198F and that was without my 11" SPAL e-fan on. I started to leave the fan on and my temps stayed below 195F.
I'm running a clutch fan setup and a koyo N-flow.

[240sxrb30]

Need a someone to host and post em up for me.

[dale_huevoGM6]

Hey guys just looking for some input before I throw my trans in. I am using the auto a30 trans in an s14 . Just wanted to know if anyone used this and had to bang out the tunnel ?

I assume you mean a340? I don't know what a - a30 auto is
I am using the auto in my s14, and no you do not need to bang out the tunnel. I did a little massaging on the firewall/top of tunnel, but looking back I don't think it was needed, a little more clearance if anything.

I like that setup. I have limited space out front cause I have a tube front that we built when the SR was in there. (No need for extra room) I don't want to rebuild the whole front end yet.
The fans are pulling air pretty good from what I can feel on the front side of the rad. I am going to pull the rad and build a custom shroud to save as much space as I can and maybe move the right side fan to get it further away from the water pump pulley.
I am going single turbo soon (parts coming) it's a bw 360, maybe change the water pump to one that doesn't have a huge hump in the pulley to save space?

It's also possible that I have a air pocket that I can't get out. I didn't pay too much attention to the little jiggle valve thing on the thermostat when I changed it...

Also what are you guys doing with the heater hose/pipe setup? I have a hose running to that connection in the back of the head bypassing the heater core that looks like poo and maybe trapping air due to it being much higher than the rad cap...

[jubee]

for you AC guys how difficult was it to get AC going, and do you have any/ or can take any pics of a AC line routing?

You pretty much outlined everything you need to do. Check your tstat. Bleed your system. Build a shroud. Come back and let us know how it goes!

Very easy, leave all your lines in place where they were OEM. Route them all the same way, only thing you change is the connections for the low/high side that hook to the compressor to the 2j fittings(obviously the KA ones won't fit). That's it, change two wires and go get it charged at your favorite AC guy.

If you want pics or more info search my old posts in this thread I've got it covered.

I'm about to pick up my 2j to drop in my 350z , just worried about the shifter location using my z trans with Collins adaptor .are there any custom options to mount the shifter on the black plate some how or another? If not the motor sits very close to the front rad leaving no room for puller fans.

Go with pushers - my derale pusher fan pumps out something like 2500cfm on one single fan

What temps are you doing? Is there a reason you went with pusher? No room I presume?

No room - with the fan on the car was never over 190deg if I'm not mistaken and yeah no room on my S13

Do you have a build thread by any chance? What basics do you suggest me doing? Any advice ? Did you go with a cooler thermostat?

Yes sir I do have a build thread. Running koyo Sr radiator, TRD thermostat, Toyota coolant and distilled water. One Derale fan / one mishimoto fan
