My 2jzge-t swap

[juhanis]

well, here's my little swap thread. my car is a 1990 turbo. the engine that was in there was obviously a 7mgte. i'm tired of eating engines, and i love the car, so, my best option is to swap in the 2jz. here's my price list so far...

$500 - jdm 2jzge long block (w/ ~30k miles)
$317 - jza70 (1jz) bellhousing
$100 - jza70 engine brackets
$150 - ebay manifold
$80 - ebay 50mm wastegate
$270 - 1jz flywheel
$80 - urethane engine mounts
$50 - odds and ends
$50 - 2jz alternator, and water pump pulley
free - 2jz clutch fan
$25 2jz serpentine belt w/o ac
$~7 pilot bearing
$30 arp 1jz flywheel bolts
$50 2jz rear sump upper and lower pans and pickup.

more to come...

here are some pics of the engine when i first got it.

everyone has one of these for their 2jz project. haha

nothing but the finest bolts to hold my engine to the stand.

here's my egr block off bolt.

one last pic of the car its going into.

that should be enough pics for you to see for now. there will be more soon, the engine should be going in the car this weekend. then i will be fabricating the intercooler piping, i also need to do many modifications to my exhaust to make this swap work. my car had a front facing intake before, so, i need to go back to the other style.

Looks Great!! You may have posted it, but what turbo is that?

 

[juhanis]

i didnt post it, the turbo is a garrett t04e 57trim. all else i really know about it is the hotside is a .58 ar, and its a twin scroll design. it was part of a hks kit for a 7m.

Swap looks good man. Keep us posted

 

[tsuper92]

you might want to have the wastegate flange clocked different.the dump will be going into the frame.i had that problem with my old 1j mani.look's like you have the wrong oil pan in the pic's.where are you pulling the oil feed for the turbo?
so far looking good.i see a 2jzge-t swap in my future.car look's good,equip's=sex

ironman was a great movie

 

[suprahero]

Engine is looking good, and I love love love the picture of the white supra with the Work Equips..........(wipes drool)

 

[juhanis]

if that's the wrong pan that sucks for me... from what i can find so far it should be okay. we'll see i guess unless someone wants to tell me for sure. just to be clear i'm running jza70 engine brackets. my car is a 90. if someone knows first hand, please chime in. by the way, thanks for the kind words =)

 

[10secdream]

What sort of exhaust discharge is on that turbo?

 

[suprastanger507mgte]

Looking good Juhanis. Nice work..and I knwo your frustrations on those blown 7ms...I've seen what you did to them lol.
Is this motor out of a Lexus sc300? if it is, then you are okay with the pan. (mid or rear sumps works fine).
Hope you get it done by the thanksgiving meet...see ya then.

hehe moe, you're all over these forums! thanks for following my progress, i should just ask you directly, you know much more about this stuff than i do. i just dont want to bother you with all my noob questions :icon_lol: i do know for sure that thing is a mid sump, however, i've seen known pictures of mid sumps and it doesnt look like the ones i've seen. but this thing is like in the dead center of the oil pan. i've seen a font sump, and its not that for sure, and i've seen rear sump, and its not that either. i just got my bellhousing yesterday so, i'm off to get a fan and fan clutch, and a flywheel. and then i'm done for the most part collecting parts. (i do still need the belt. haha) i was told that engine was from a mk4 supra, but i dont really have a way of telling. the engine does say "toyota 3000" on the front, but that can be from any other inline 6 toyota too. it had these really tall engine mount brackets before. oh well, all i know is that damn sump is in the middle for sure, i had to flip it upsidedown to tap that pan. what i am happy about, is that the engine looks like its the low mileage jdm 2jz karlo told me it was, so i'm happy. oh well, to the parts runner (the evo 8 i'm borrowing. hahaha)


tsuper92: i'm planning to use the stock oil pressure gauge for my oil supply to the turbo. my oil filter relocation plate has a port on it already going to an autometer oil pressure gauge in my car. so, the stocker can go.

 

[suprastanger507mgte]

lol..yeah man. That pan will work for sure. Mid and rear ones do. I have the mid one just like you...

 

[tsuper92]

i was actually thinking your motor was a usdm motor because of the egr.i wasn't sure any of the jdm stuff had egr.good new's about the pan,figured it was worth mentioning.

What sort of exhaust discharge is on that turbo?

Looks very similar to a greddy t78

 

[juhanis]

10secdream: sorry, i didn't see that question. its off an hks sportkit for a 7m. so, i'm assuming its the standard flange for that kit.

i'm so happy about the oil pan! god... that would have sucked real bad. but now i'm having a lot of trouble getting a 2jzge flywheel. the one i was supposed to get was cracked. and no wreckers in this area have one. but i did get a fan and fan clutch for free =) so, that's a score. the belt and pilot bearing and flywheel are all i need. i can almost hear the 2jz purring in my garage.

From your list you got a 1jz bell housing. So you're probably going to go with a R154. Why would you need a W58 flywheel?

Quick question, looks like you've removed the distributor. What are you going to use? Looks like of interesting, could you explain that to me?

Looks like you're almost there.

LOL he's not getting a W58 flywheel, he's getting a 2JZGE flywheel. Flywheel is relative to the engine its bolted onto, not the transmission.
But wont a GTE fw fit on the GE?
Sweet stuff man, I have a 2JZ NA-T that I got underway here for my own car as well. Just need to get around to building it. Do you have all the supporting electronics for your engine? And why not use the TT intake mani? That way you can use a better larger FMIC and use less piping

He is running this engine with the 7mgte electronics. Common route for this swap. The 2jzge distributor was replaced with the 7mgte CPS - very minimal work needed to make it fit.

Juhanis, If its the serpantine belt you need, can you give me the length for it? I know I have one but there was a size difference between my 3 swaps ... so not sure if this will work for you or not. IF can get a correct length, I will check with mine and you can pick it up.

[kabanimk3supra]

someone correct me of I'm wrong, but he needs the 1jz flywheel. not the 2jzge. you can use that one, but you'll need to modify it.

 

[juhanis]

yeah i'm going to use the 2jzge flywheel. i was planning to re drill it for the r154 pressure plate. then i was going to do run the w58 pilot bearing. i also got an ls400 fan. so, the list is shrinking.

 

[juhanis]

a little update. so, my original plan of using a modified 2jzge flywheel i dont think is going to work. the flywheel is impossible to get here locally, which is retarded. so, i'll have to get one from driftmotion or something. and if i do that, i might as well just get the stock 1jz flywheel so i dont have to make any modifications. also, the oil filter relocation kit doesnt fit. so i'll run the stock oil filter housing, and i'll tee off the stock oil pressure sender port on the side of the block to feed the turbo. i already have a stainless line to go over to that area from the turbo. other than that... i just have to modify the downpipe/exhaust, i'll snap some pics of that process when i start doing it, which should be tomorrow at the latest. well, that's about it for now. hopefully this thing starts driving in a week. we'll see.
