Do i have a GE or GTE

[Grimsta]

I just picked up a completely disassembled 2JZ, the guy told me it was a GTE, but i saw it and believe its just a GE, whatever its cool, it was $100! You can tell by the valve covers can't you? Just wanted to confirm, the GE has a dip in the middle of the VC for their top fed intake mani right?

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

Yes sir

 

[Supracentral]

Does it have a distributor?

2JZ-GTE's don't use a distributor style CPS like the 7M-GTE does.

 

[cactus_mole]

if you have the valve covers they kinda look like the 7m ones. 2jzgte ones are nice and rounded.

$100! nice, i got mine for $250....

 

[Grimsta]

No electronic w/ it, just the engine. But yeah the VCs look similar to the 7M. I gotta bore it out .030 and get forged pistons anyways, so, nothing lost on the NA motor. With the pistons it'll be the same. I'll have to pick up the other things like the cam sensor, ignitor, map, etc.

Cactus, you from Santa Rosa also! Whats ur car look like?

 

[BlackMKIII]

Yeehah! Ace is goin' 2J. Wanna race when we're both done?

 

[Grimsta]

Lol, yeah, if you join NASA
I wont be done for nearly a year and a half. BTW, i like your mouse!

oil squirters in the block would be a dead givaway

 

[Grimsta]

No oil squirters, sh*t!!!! I will need those with 500hp, crap!

 

[hottscennessey]

I have 500+ without oil squirters.. no problems here.

 

[cactus_mole]

Its a metallic pearl white...

funny, were both going to have over 500hp 2j supra's...intresting:sarcasm:

 

[Grimsta]

Well if Hotscennescy (whatever!) has 500+ w/o squirters i'll take that. So Cactus, you got a 500hp 2JZ Supra and live in Santa Rosa!? Where the hell are you? Unless its stealth as f$&k i've never seen such a thing. PM me your number, i'll give you mine and we'll have to hang out!

 

[Poodles]

forged pistons are a must without oil squirters IMHO...

 

[cactus_mole]

oh ahhaha no not 500hp yet but ordering lots of parts soon....:biglaugh:

i never see any other supra's either.

 

[Grimsta]

Yeah i will be putting in forged pistons w/ coating. Still haven't decided on what coating yet though. Should i still put in squirters for road racing?

 

[AnclyT]

yes, better to be safe than sorry

 

[BJ91T]

how do you plan to put squirters in exactly?

 

[yrallofthenamestaken]

how do you plan to put squirters in exactly?

You can drill the block, it's been done before. I do not believe it's worth your time, forged or not. However if you are going forged, then don't worry about oil squirters.

 

[Grimsta]

I'll continue to go back and forth, but in the end, since i'm overboring it anyways, i may have the machinist drill and tap it for the squirters anyways. Only thing is then since the NA didnt have the controled "leak" of the squirters, will the oil pump be able to keep up? Or should i shim the 2JZ pump like the 7M pump, to raise the oil pressure

 

[Poodles]

or go with a TT pump...

need to replace the pump anyway
