    2jz oil pan issue

    thats sounds like agood idea for the harness. i was planning on just cutting a hole and using the original seal. as far as a harness goes though. i am going standalone. most likely AEM since i can get a good deal on one and that seems to be the most popular with the 2jz. according to what guys...

    2jz oil pan issue

    so my question is, will a 2jzgte (aristo) motor fit in the mkiii without swapping out the oil pan and sump? from what i read everyone changes it from a front pickup to a rear. i figure its not gonna fit but just thought i would ask before i go and try to find one.

    Why I ditched my 7MGTE and went 2JZ NAT with AEM

    ok say you went with a 2jz-gte and it came with the stock turbos and everything. would that be able to perform as well stock as a GE with a single setup and the stock intake mani? if you go with the gte your already getting turbos, a FFIM, a better ignition system plus it already has lower...

    Why I ditched my 7MGTE and went 2JZ NAT with AEM

    has anyone had problems pushing the GE to high hp numbers? i know the ignition would have to be changed. but the lack of oil squirters seems kinda imoprtant in my opinion. with the heads being different on the GE and GTE how do you go about getting exahust manifolds and lets say a FFIM? would...

    Why I ditched my 7MGTE and went 2JZ NAT with AEM

    so as far as power goes, everyone feels a 2jz with stock internals and a standalone can perform better than a built 7m with a standalone?

    Shop in Seattle area???

    you dont need to go to a shop to install that. its all bolt on basically. talk to dr. jonez on here. i am pretty sure he still deals them and can get you the whole setup.

    Shop in Seattle area???

    what are you looking to do? a perforamance shop that specifies in one car iits kinda hard to find. but if you know what you want done, than its easier to point you in a direction.

    Are turbo headers worth it?

    in order to run the 50mm wg you have to cut and rotate the flange 90 degrees correct? that way you can dump it towards the firewall.

    Which oil do YOU use??

    i run shell rotella T with shaiffers additive. best additive in the world in my opinion. my dad has used it on his heavy equiptment for years. looks like green slime. only part that sucks is it takes about an hour for all of it to drain out of the bottle.

    steering column locking up
