2JZ Solstice Build

[pantherqs]

So I decided to shove a 2JZ in my Solstice. The Solstice transmission [aisin ar5] bolts right up to the JZ with the JZ bellhousing. Will post a more details after I figure out a few more things.

2JZGE
Borg Warner S372 1.0 AR

That's nice! Did the R series transmissions similarity have any influence on your decision?

 

[pagii]

it bolt straight up?!?!?! no way thats cheating.....

 

[SupraBro]

Wow!!!! Nice work guys!!!

 

[pantherqs]

The mating of the transmission was a major factor in the decision, yeah.

Also, minor update... Balls.

 

[Quin]

I like this guy already. lol

Looks really nice!! How much do the Solstices weigh?

 

[ask92]

Wow, cant wait to see this thing done! Any pics of the car in one piece before being torn down?

 

[enjoi.this]

A lot less than most Supras, that's for sure.

I approve of this project 100%. How much of the engine did GM in their infinite wisdom ( :: facepalm :: ) stick under the cowl? Always hated that about newer cars...

Update: Everything major bolted up, torqued down, and dropped in. Transmission transmission's. Driveshaft driveshaft's. Clutch clutches. Mount's mount. Thing's thing.

titan sent some stuff

bumper got mounted

tom mocked up the intake manifold...

...then welded a series of tubes together

and hi 4 inch downpipe

None of this would have been possible without the masterful fabrication of Tom at Ontario Mandrel.

You're gonna have to get a couple videos of this thing when you're driving it around... Definitely gonna raise a few eyebrows with this under the hood.
