Project Eat My 2jz! (56K? Don't Bother.)

[Nghty89]

Yes! ANOTHER 2jzge-t coming to realization. We picked up the motor last night after I got off work. Wow... A 2jz is a beautiful thing my friends. :naughty:

There is not much on this first post, but once parts and things start rolling in, then I will do detailed analysis on everything! :sarcasm:

Stay tuned, there is more to come from this mkiii :biglaugh:

oh hot damn, new engine stand. harbor freight special?

 

[dok33]

Somebody stole your cam gearz! Subscribed

 

[Nghty89]

Hellz yeah harbor freight special! $49.99 and Jordan (applesauce on SM), who is a tall, muscled guy practically sat on the dam thing trying to get it to break when we first put the engine on it! (of course, the chains from the hoist were still attached during the test, just slack :naughty: ) He could not get it to move at all. It may be harbor freight and cheap, but I'll be damned if it isn't strong as hell! :biglaugh:

Actually the cam gears are in a box on the ground next to the motor. They were off when I first picked it up :nono: Who needs cam gearz anywaz son? I'll just do it ricer style! :biglaugh:

The motor itself is a USDM. Roughly 40K-50K miles. It looks to be in great condition after pulling the valve covers off and checking over what can be checked without pulling the head. The guy who I bought it from had ordered it and then it sat in his garage on an engine stand for a while. He was going to turbo it and drop it in his SC300, but decided to go 2jzgte instead and was going to sell it to applesauce, who decided to go gte too. I got the motor at a nice $400 and it was only a 30 minute drive to get it. Now it sits in my garage awaiting dis-assembly, cleaning, new gaskets, and aftermarket parts! Should be within the next week since I have the money, just deciding on parts :love:

nice man welcome to the club!

 

[Nghty89]

Thank you! And for my beginning of the build, I am missing the top half of the intake manifold, throttle body, and all electronics that go with said missing parts. The engine didn't come with them from Japan :sarcasm:

I am currently scavenging the board like crazy for parts too :naughty:

How much did sethron charge for that FFIM scott?

 

[soundslikesemi87]

Call me at 11 or when you start, which ever comes later. haha.

subscribed, i think the 2jzge na-t is calling my name 2. How do you plan on running the motor? off 7m electronics or 2j electronics? What are your goals for this build?

 

[Nghty89]

I plan on running the motor off of the 7m electronics and a few 2j electronics. A standalone might be in order, but I might just go with simple add on electronics for now just to get it running and put a little power down.

My goal was to have a reliable daily driver that can put down 400 to 600whp anytime I want and still get me comfortably to where I need to go. The suspension will be redone, the brakes will be upgraded slightly, and the paint will be redone as well once all is said and done :love:

Plus, I'm tired of being the slowest turbo supra around here (meaning Va Beach) :biglaugh:

 

[Nghty89]

Saturday we began the disassembly of the 7m in preparation of pulling it. I was hoping to get it out that day, but sadly we could not get the driver side motor mount to disconnect by the time we ran out of time.

Pause for date and sleep. :biglaugh:

Then I jumped back into it today around 5pm and disconnected the motor mount completely from the block before pulling it. Then the hoist I rented blew TWO seals... :nono: Had to wait several hours and in the process realized I had also forgotten the fuel lines on the driver side. After an hour I just said :kickinthenuts: and used a bolt cutter on both lines. :naughty: FINALLY several people showed up and I got a new hoist hooked up... 3 hours later after having to use my mother and brothers as counterweights, since the hoist was put together wrong when it was first assembled (NOT BY ME) and the front wheels were cock-eyed making it difficult to push or pull, we got it into the garage. Oh, by the way, DO NOT FORGET TO PULL THE CLUTCH FORK BEFORE TRYING TO PULL THE TRANNY OFF... It will come off so easy if you listen to me. :nono:

Now it's all in my garage awaiting sale/new parts. :evil3: Sorry for no step by step pictures. I have a camera phone and it takes forever to even upload just 5 pics. I will get a camera sooner or later... car parts are more important for now! :love:

Now I just really need the accessories for the 2jz (PS, AC, WP, OP) and a new oil pan... Are they baffled on the inside for the SC300? Or can I just hammer it out? Haven't gotten to pulling it off yet.

 

[Nghty89]

More pix

 

[Nghty89]

And that's all I have for now. It took me an hour to get all those uploaded, so be grateful! :sarcasm:
