Chris watching firewall clearance

He told me to look like I was grimacing, LOL

Pulled the engine back out once we knew exactly where to make firewall "adjustments"

Engine bolted in

Left to do... build the exhaust, install the intercooler and cut/route all of the intercooler piping, intake, make a fuel line, install a/c lines and p/s lines, replace the fuel pump, install the driveshaft, install the slave cylinder, heater hoses, route and plug in the wiring harness, install radiator and fan, throttle cable, etc.

Very nice Tweak. Sledge hammer FTW

Atleast you're adjusting the firewall before installing the motor. I had to adjust mine with the motor installed after pulling the stock twins (wasn't exactly fun or easy). Looks real good fella's.

Nice Joshua , wow that'a what am talking about.

This swap is comin' along nicely ! When i banger my firewall, i taped a rag to the sledge hammer to make softer punches. However I banged it a lil' too much and craked the evaporator housing which is what's on the other side the firewall. Upside is that I can now fit my hand all the way back there !

I had ran into some tranny crossmember alignement problems, which wasn't solved by just flipping the crossmember around.

2J swap with A/C :love:. I hope you get it working, having A/C is what will make your sup a step above.

 

[suprahero]

Nice job guys. Gotta love a 2jz powered MKIII.............:love:

 

[steve_mk3]

Quick question-
Did you retain the JDM components? Turbos, injectors, cams?

Thanks
Steve

BTW - great thread, any additional pics of the firewall adjustment would be appreciated

 

[Dr Tweak]

Yeap, kept all the original JDM stuff. I'll have more pics of the project shortly

Heater hoses

How to install the radiator fan, hydraulic clutch, pulley, shroud, and radiator

High-density Garrett intercooler

Mocking up the intercooler piping and cold air intake

Custom downpipe welded up and installed

Engine as it sits now.

Swap is done, but it's not starting. Looks like we have the wrong ECU. Anyone have a 2JZ Aristo ECU they could sell?

 

[mattsplat72]

Jesus, you don't fuck around. Looks amazing.

 

[Poodles]

Interesting, always been told the 2J wouldn't fit with a fan shroud. How's the clearance?

 

[Dr Tweak]

Jesus, you don't fuck around. Looks amazing.

No, I don't Thanks

It's a huge pain in the butt to get in, but yeah, it fits. Clearance is fine.

Turns out that the CPS and TPS are both bad, ECU may be okay. Still working on it.

Who said that. Its essentiall the same diamentions as the 1j and that works with a fan fine.

 

[Dr Tweak]

Swap complete and running great:

 

[projectpanda]

wow man that thing looks nice... got any 7m parts for sale now =P?

 

[Dr Tweak]

Possibly, what do you need?

-Doc

 

[83suprapower]

Man that's a nice swap. If your customer paid for all parts needed. How much do you charge for engine swap,wiring,custom lines, and complete job in general?

 

[Dr Tweak]

I logged 75 hours on that project, our shop rate is $75/hour so he technically "should" have paid over $5k just in labor, obviously we can't charge that in real life (which is why we charge a flat rate on swaps instead of by the hour). So to answer your question, $2500 - $3500 depending on various options.
