S14 1jz Brother build

[mewantkouki]

This build is awesome. I've always wanted to put a 1j in a car.

[Albert_Trd]

We took apart the intake side, replaced all the orings and crush washers and cleaned everything up.

[Albert_Trd]

Also got his valve cover done in wrinkle black.

[Albert_Trd]

Been a while since I updated this. Been busy making Cd009 adapter kits that ill be selling on supramania since I am a vendor over there.

Still forward progress. His Wiring specialties harness came in and fit and looks beautiful! Southbend clutch came in and looks fantastic!
Ordered small things to finish off this build before the swap can happen

-timing belt
-pilot bearing
-throwout bearing
-misc hoses
-trans seals
-Vibrant Turbo muffler
-intercooler and piping kit
-Koyo radiator
-Serpentine belt
-Spark plugs
-Also ordered new MB battles 18x9.5 wheels!

should be ready soon to drop this pig in.














More to come!

Wow. Awesome built !

[BossHogg]

southbend makes clutches for cars? Guess I never really looked into it that much. I have a southbend twin disc on my cummins 12v. Those bitches grab like no other. I have to start off in low gear then go to first haha.

Very clean setup, looks nice. Half the time cleanliness is more appealing than the parts. Maybe I'm just getting old.

Nice Clean up job on that motor!

[scottie]

Looking great! The detail work may be tedious but its already paying off. The engine and harness are spot on.

CD009 Adapter plates, I'm listening.

Yes, as you have probably read, we work at a machine shop, ive made a handful of things, im also a vendor on Supramania and ill be selling the kits over there. The idea was to go trans adapter vs engine adapter. In doing so, you will be able to retain the oem bell housing, use Toyota flywheel and pressure plate, slave, throwout. That as no tunnel modifications are going to be needed (for supras). Best of all it will be able to work with 7M or JZ!

Update:

Car is on the lift. Pulling engine/trans. Have a buddy picking up everything for his 240 shell tomorrow!

[Albert_Trd]

She's almost ready!

[JZ78]

Looking good!

sent from my mind

[wiring specialties]

[JRex]

Loving this build. It just made me buy a 1jz over an rb...can't wait to start mine. Supra sounds amazing.

[Albert_Trd]

Pulled the engine/trans out of the car. Sold to a friend for her s13. Now the fun part; cleaning the engine bay as much as we did the engine itself!

[Albert_Trd]

Pressure washed the engine bay, time to get in there and clean the rest by hand. maybe give it a quick respray

[Ill92SC3]

such a bad ass build. in for updates lol. I would like to clean up my engine bay one day also, its a mess haha. I have a 1j in my zenki also i need to take the twins off and have them rebuilt. Are you going to be running the OEM ecu?

Thanks! Yes oem ecu with oem twins for now, single and standalone later.

He just ordered a walbro 450, tial Q 50mm bov, and got his map sensor.

Also he went to town on cleaning up the bay, and gonna reshoot is a single stage nissan white (vail)







Mocked engine up


Teaser of the new paint

[Ill92SC3]

Badass dude! Looks legit! wish i could clean up my bay like that lol. Ooohhh tial bov is going to sound nice. my brother has one on his CA18 s13. Are those D1 or HKS coils I see?

[JRex]

How did everything line up with the zero lift brackets? What mounts did you use? Engine placement looks perfect.

OMG the owner speaks!


Yeah, need to remove sway bar and try again. Also i noticed the stock motor mounts are offset a little? Anyone else notice that?

[taeisbeast]

Awesome stuff man, definitely been wanting to get me a 1j for a little while now.

Thats impressive to hear. Been a fan of that motor too, but something still pulls me towards the 1 or 2j.

I think only the xcessive mounts claim to be able to use the stock sway bar, i think all the others you need a Sikky or something similar.

Someone in the 2jz swap thread posted a pic of their mounts were off, apparently you have to use different holes rather then where the mounts originally were.

Ya I don't see how that's possible, the pan hit the sway bar and there was still like 2-3' left for the motor to go down, the hood wouldn't even close. Not sure how mounts can be made to clear the sway bar, the motor would sit way to high.

For now were gonna take off the sway bar and try fitment again. The brackets look to be on, but the studs on the oem mounts look offset, if someone were to run a solid motor mount, with straight hole design, I feel like it would push the motor even further back toward the firewall, and i'm not sure if i have the room to do that. Have a link to said posts?
