2JZ S13 Vert

[BorHor]

Welp I will start a new thread so I can keep all my 2JZ stuff together. All my build post and be found in my car related blog http://borhor.wordpress.com/

After I blew my supercharged KA24de I figured it was time to do a 2jz! I am starting with cleaning the engine bay since there is oil all over the place. I am also going to clean it. I already ordered the Tech2 mounting kit. I am seeing if I am going to put in GE motor for temporary use or just going to put a GTE in.

You're a crazy one, Mr. Boris..

 

[BorHor]

Any way you can do a parts list and pricing for the swap?
BTW, you wiring or are you sending it to tweak?

I am going to wire it up my self. I have found local people that can help me and we should be able to get it done. As for cost do I really have to?? lol I think I will cry if i start adding up the cost :cry: Maybe at the end after I am all done lol.

What I said above :icon_bigg

I need to sell my supercharger before I get a GTE. I might put in a GE for the time being since I am able to get one for free. But I will have a GTE by this summer.

I'm gonna watch this too lol. Sounds like it'll be quite the little beast of a car

So today I ripped out stuff that I do not need and cleaned it out more. Next will be welding up some of the holes and places that need to be covered out. Nick helped me today with ripping out the battery tray. I was relieved to find the rust under there was just surface. I test painted part of the radiator support to see how the paint will come out. I hope to have the passenger side fender cleared off tomorrow. Welding should be done Monday and I hope to get paint started too.

looking good! soo it looks liek you have a color picked out already?

 

[BorHor]

I was thinking if I should go with a wild color but I think I will go with the plain and simple color black, that way I can paint the car what ever color I want and it will not clash with the engine bay color.

 

[7Mboost]

Gonna black the engine bay?

 

[BorHor]

Did more work on the Vert today. I took off most of the stuff on the pass side fender today. I some what painted under the driver side fender to get a feel of the color.

 

[tbcmorris]

coming along nicely

You should do a deep gunmetal on the car. A semi or glossy black engine bay will still match at that point.

Today we welded some of the holes and started stitch welding the chassis. We didn't get to far though, maybe we will finish tomorrow. I also picked up a R154 tranny with a 1JZ bell housing. That brings be much closer to all the parts needed. I am mainly waiting on the mounting kit now. I should give Tech2 a call tomorrow.

holy crap, she's coming along quick!
