1JZGTE Swapped S-Chassis thread - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Spencer dougherty · 08-28-2013, 10:10 PM

hi. my name is Spencer & im the CEO of SideWays Performance here in beautiful SoCal.. we are a 8000sq foot ware house drift factory..
Home - SIDEWAYS PERFORMANCE

i noticed that there was no support on Zilvia.net for 1jzgte & vvti's into s-chassis or any other chassis.. so i wanted to start a page to help everyone out..

my background.. been in the JDM inport scene for a good 15 years now
& started my own shop 10 years ago.. ive done at least 1000 swaps & 200 or so jz's. i know the the parts list need, engines & wire inside & out for S-chassis swaps..
ill post up alot more tomorrow.. heres some pixs i have of jz's weve done this year and projects where working on.. also have swap videos on youtube sideways performance - YouTube

post up your engine bay pix with parts list & power

here are the last few S chassis 1jzgte swaps we did
mk3 supra 1jzgte. swapped the pan.. FMIC/ turbo back 3In/ comp flywheel ACT clutch/DM pulley kit/ Wired by Sideways Performance/zero lift mounts for R154.. gotta mod the trans mount a little because bolt pattern is diff on trans mount jdm vs usdm. Sideways performance Drive shaft & shifter extension/mercedes 10in pusher fan/cusco catch can/hks filter..

my good friends s14 1jz full build.. sent out for inside & out paint today 8/28/13

Some 1jz Swap we just finshed.. cool stuff
MK3 Suppra R154 1jzgte

MK3 Sopra R154 1jzgte went to paint last week 8/20/13

MK4 suppra with a JZX100 1jzgte vvti

RX7 FC3s 1jzgte R154 Drift Missile

X7 Cressida Wagon 1jzgte vvti Auto

X8 cressida 1jzgte vvti r154

Here is a 2jzge na 5speed mk4 & sc300 vs on the bottom a jzx90/100 1jzgte r154 5 speed both of these trans fit into any S-Chassis, sc300, mk4 & cressida with no shifter extenstion needed.. both trans's are hard to find

BigPawr · 08-29-2013, 05:23 AM

There is already a 2JZ swap thread that has a Plethora of information pertaining to the JZ swap in general for the S-Chassis. I'm not really sure what can be accomplished by this thread other than advertising your own business.

Spencer dougherty · 08-29-2013, 12:36 PM

I see that.. It is a 2jz theard. Not a 1jzgte. Aside from the motor mounts & transmission . The 1jz's & Vvti's are completely different . The pont is to help out not to promote my shop. Only reason I mentioned my shop is to show my experience & that im not talking out my ass...,im slammed out the door with work. + Im in socal so I dont see any swap comming in because of this post. I only do swaps. I dont sell new parts. So when I have more time I will post up a gold rush of details for everyone.

di-devol · 08-29-2013, 12:36 PM

Actually, I like this idea, although there are similarities between 1j/2j, the other thread IS directed at 2j's.

(Especially since I'm doing a 1j)

The other thread isn't stickied either.

benarovi · 08-29-2013, 12:55 PM

I like this idea. 1jzs are awesome swaps and pretty cheap.

xoxide · 08-29-2013, 05:32 PM

In for wiring diagram's and parts list!

soundboy · 08-29-2013, 07:55 PM

In for the wiring diagrams also. I want to buy a is200 lexus and do a 1jz automatic swap. With a hx35

if u use the auto trans that comes with the 1jzgte u pick, wiring should be easy.. u don't have to wire anything extra to get the auto trans working.. as long as all the sensors are plugged in on the trans it will shift fine..OD will not work unless u wire it but its only 2 wires.. i have a book with all my diagrams in it.. gotta clean it up so u guys can read it.. takes some pixs & upload.. need a few day.. got 2 kids & a full time shop i run

soundboy · 08-30-2013, 12:21 AM

Awesome. Take your time mate, just try to help us out

Take your time man!

What is the average cost of a 1jz 5 speed swap into a s chassis, in your experience.

It;s a stock s13 singlecam cable. I just cut and crimped the end of it at the pedal.

I plan on taking pictures of the wiring being installed. The engine harness and install is being done by Fiend performance, chassis harness is custom.

driftlife.son · 09-10-2013, 11:50 AM

Anyone wanna share some wiring information???

rune1241 · 09-11-2013, 04:42 PM

Seriously, the wiring is what I need help with as well.

Where the pictures at? 😊

VegasDrifterS13 · 09-23-2013, 10:24 PM

Which 1JZ swap is better? VVTI or NON VVTI? I know that for tuning purposes variable valve timing can be an advantage but is one or the other built better? any differences i.e. power capabilities, strength, reliability, limits, CONS of any sort for either??? any info would be great.

edmorl · 09-24-2013, 12:29 PM

anyone ever retain A/C with a 1jz swap ?

soundboy · 09-24-2013, 06:24 PM

Go with the vvti. More modern engine.

Alright guys really noob question but usually how much to 1jz swaps come out to be after getting everything you need and also where do most people get their engines from?

di-devol · 09-26-2013, 11:16 PM

I got mine from JDM texas I believe. Price is variable.

I figured at least 4k for a swap, MINIMUM.

Whats goin on with this thread? seemed to have some potential at first... not soo much now

FutureFab · 10-08-2013, 12:59 AM

Here is my 1jz vvti swapped into my s13.

Parts list:
Jzx100 engine and 5 speed R154 (this trans is factory extended unlike older r154)
Spec stage 3 pull type clutch
Arp flywheel bolts
DSS Aluminum 1 piece drive shaft
Griffin Alum radiator
Garrett 18x11x3 Ic core, made my own tanks
Alum charge piping
Freshen up all seals and gaskets besides headgasket
New water pump, timing kit, plug wires
Earls -16 radiator lines
Earls -6 fuel lines
Earls -10 water cross over
Drift motion steel turbine exhaust wheel upgrade/360 degree bearing upgrade
Custom stainless downpipe that bolted on 22ft/lbs and 26 hp on stock boost.
3 inch stainless exhaust

As pictured made 295ft lbs and 313hp on stock ecu and wastegate, no tuning or boost controller.

This is the pipe I made. I did back to back dyno test stock vs mine, only changing the pipe and it made 22ft lbs and 26hp. I made a 3 inch pipe from stock 3 bolt outlet to where my v band connected on exhaust for the stock one. This way it would be fair comparison. I was actually worried at first when the stock one put down 273ft lbs and 287hp. Then I put on mine and it made more power everywhere in the power band and extended peak torque 250 rpm. I believe this pipe is better than the tomei unit, as that one makes 30hp gain, but they are running 23.5psi boost, where mine made 26hp gain on stock ecu/boost. Im sure mine would shine even more with elevated boost and ecu tuning.

93egallmotor · 10-12-2013, 03:30 PM

im in for the VVTi info, just picked up an s14 and ive been looking for a thread for this swap or at least some info.

Good thread with lots of wiring info for vvti 1j.

Night drifte89 · 10-23-2013, 11:15 PM

Question, I have a 1jz non vvti and I am purchasing a non ac serpentine bbelt and on drift motion they ask me if I have a clutch fan or hydro fan. Don't exactly know what the hydro fan is. Which one do I need? I'm ussuming since I don't know what a hydro fan is. I don't have it?
