updates on my build are going to be few and far between now, i moved to georgia and my car is staying down south for a few months till i get a shop up here.
LPPRO's over the top 2jz hybrid build
- Thread starter lppro
- Start date
no updates to speak of yet. im working on buying a house up here in north georgia in the next month or so. the sup is still down in south fla, hasn't been touched in months )= . but i will pick up right where i left off when i get my car up here!
so i thought i would update my thread even though the car hasn't been touched in like 8 months... ): its still sitting in south florida in my parents garage. i did finally get a house with a very nice sized shop but;t have not had the time or money to get the sup up here.
but anyways, the plans have changed completely! even though ive been away from my car for the better part of a year ive still been thinking about her constantly! the change of plans,
-part out all 2jz related parts i have (almost a complete 2jz swop)
-locate a 1uz.
-adapt it to the r154
-front mounted single 60-1(because i already have one)
-full custom fuel system, fuel cell, a1000, etc
-not sure on the injectors... anyone help me out with that? can i use the 550's i have for my 2j and just buy 2 more?
-msd ignition
-custom exhaust
-no more a/c
etc...
so hopefully in the next few weeks i will get my car up here and get to work!

well the way i look at it i can part out all my 2j stuff and probably have almost enough money to get most of the 1uz parts.
I will consider you an ass if you part out the 2J. I say that in the most friendliest way. It is your car, so do as you wish.
1uz's are cool...but in all reality you know what car will be faster....and you've already got everything, and such a nice setup damnit!! Either way, good luck with your decision.
nice build good to see another 2jzfanatic! lol check out my build thread if ya get a chance mkIII restore,2jz,v160 etc.......
ehh i think i will stick with the 2j. it would be sooo much more work to start on a new motor platform, and the 2j is soooo much easer to get parts for!
so i finally got the supra up to my new place in georgia!!
it was a long trip but i made it in one piece with no damages.
and its been about a year since i have been able to work on my car! so i wasted no time haha.
i decided i wanted my radiator to sit where the a/c condinser used to be so i cut out the lower crossmember to clear the rad. i will fab up a new one out of 1 1/2" tubeing and fit the rad in there nice and clean. this will give me tons more room in front of the motor for a little suprise i got planned :evil2:
and yes i did buy another money pit recently. thats my red mk2 to the left of my mk3

the motor is still all pulled apart just as i left it a year ago..
i love having the luxury of a engine building room! its sooo much easer to keep everything organized.

Nice place man, I'm very jealous. Imagine the kinds of cars we'd all have if we all had nice shops to work out of. Keep up the good work, glad to see you're sticking with the JZ..
Thanks man, yea I freggin love my new place. The garage sold it for me lol. I got a paint booth in there too (; its sooo nice working in a big shop. I'm used to a 2 car garage full crap with just enough room for my car and tools!
Wow.. Good work. Can't wait to see you finish this. We need some more bada$$ cars around Buford/Daucla area.
you live around here man? we need to do a little meet or somethin some time! any others around here?
