More people need to understand this....4rth gear is direct drive on a 5spd and is 1:1 and will give true results which is where is should be dynoed, now on a 4spd automatic it should be dynoed in 3rd which is technically direct drive as in auto's 4rth is overdrive.

sweet ill tag along for this build.. hope to see progress soon!

 

[buckshotglass]

:squint:

 

[tlo86]

The anticipation was STAGGERING

Engine, the last time it'll be in my car.

Engine Sold, picking up the r154 in 2 days (and the coiter pin in need with it lol, and a stock slave cyl for now..), BIC mounts = purchased, t4 single turbo manifold = purchased, still need a few other things of course working on pulling out the engine today... might also purchase a high pressure power steering line from autozone or similar store~ may also order my oil filter relocation kit today as well...

 

[tlo86]

no pictures (yet getting some WED when i pick up my tranny) i have my 7m out thrilled about that. just need to get the harness off... i took it out with the downpipe and tranny still attached man its hard when you do it by yourself.... but i have it done (friend came by and helped hehe), transmission is not off the engine and about half way done with taking the harness off.

what was really surprising is when i took my engine out the mounts fell off... wow i thought they were bad and i had no idea usually you hear knocking or something but nope i didnt...

*edit*
Ordered!
1jz oil pressure gauge sender adaptor (hey maybe it will work )
1JZ-GTE Flywheel(over 500$ from the dealer )
1JZ Bellhousing(also over 500$ from the dealer FOR EMPLOYEES i hate the parts guy at my local toyota dealership, prick)
2jz throttle cable (i know i couldve used a corolla but honestly i do not have the time to just goto a junk yard WITH THE TIME I PUT INTO THE 2JZGTE SWAP!! lol it would be silly if i didnt have at least some time to work on that )
ARP 1JZ Flywheel Bolts (Might as well, still not sure if they are reusable but who cares i shouldnt need to take off this flywheel unless i buy a lightened one, and replacing my rear main seal before i install tranny)

ordered these from driftmotion.com NOT the dealer hehe saved me a few bucks.

*edit* Harness is out! r154 is almost to the garage.... just a note when removing the harness from the 7mgte, take off the throttle body and isc makes things a million times easier... and i only forgot about two plugs hidden near alternator... (oops! oh well i only need the body pins , now i just need to be very careful when taking the jz harness off )

 

[tlo86]

after talking to dr tweak (he is doing my wiring) i should have full use of ALL of my gauges! (minus the boost gauge but thats my own doing hehe)

manifold came in the mail, looks good just have to grind some~

thermostat and gasket came in mail as well as a gasket for the oil pickup in the oil pan.

 

[IJ.]

It has the correct capacity

 

[OneJoeZee]

You're going single right? Stock twins are so last year!

 

[Topher E]

God damn it joe. I cant tell you how many times I tried to squish that damn bug.

Tlo86 - That project = o.o I will for one be tunned in.

 

[tlo86]

You're going single right? Stock twins are so last year!

yeah thats why its taking so long lol i still need to get pics i still only have pics of the day the engien first arrived!

the manifold that came in (ebay) still needs the inside grinded a bit from the welds ~ they did most but its one of the best ebay manifolds i have seen in person. err minus the fact the holes for the studs dont quite line up (only one is off)

 

[tlo86]

he just had to pose...

new one

not sure what to do with this cooler... or where to put it =/ was my tranny cooler now? my p/s cooler?

Clutch hardlines and ss line i have no idea how to route the long line hehe

Which battery to use? (Note: NWS i just noticed Lol)

car garaged every day = rust? the donar replacements outside every day on a parts car = not rusted? lame lol

now what am i going to do with these? =/

do i NEED 3 starters?

2jzgte auto trans, ebay manifold (that doesnt fit), twins.

I <3 supras

88' turbo harness and 89' turbo harness for those that get confused about wiring...

Still not ready to throw it in!

the r154 shifter boot from misc vender Empera, knob was free... it looks neat i think... and my third transmission ! :S

 

[suprahero]

:ttiwwp:

I'm not very patient when it comes to waiting on pictures...............:biglaugh:

 

[tlo86]

:ttiwwp:

I'm not very patient when it comes to waiting on pictures...............:biglaugh:

just got a few

 

[OneJoeZee]

Progress is GOOD. Keep it up!

 

[tlo86]

Progress is GOOD. Keep it up!

thanks! ordering new stuff every day so im just waiting for that *need* list to be just a few things~

*fit the repacement fender on today, the paint doesnt match, the fender doesnt sit perfectly, and its all scratched up not but i dont care i will repaint it british racing green *soon* anyway... hehe

 

[tlo86]

noone told me taking the 2jz harness off was this easy the clutch i bought is also in the picture and im trying to hide it under my car with no success. not very proud of it lol

noone told me taking the 7m harness off was this hard!

these pictures are off the new iphone. the camera on that thing isnt that bad! if i didnt break phones all of the time i would get one!

*edit* stuff came in the mail today:sarcasm: pics tomorow mounts on the way as well.

 

[tlo86]

this came in the mail!

whats inside

r154 bellhousing for 7m r154 bellhousing for jz

thought i would compare the starter area for the engines, the thicker one is the 2jzgte the thinner one is the 7mgte. you can notice on the bellhousing the area for the starter is larger on the 7m... and smaller for the jz of coruse it is obvious why this is just remembered a question if the 2jz starter will work with the 1jz bellhousing or something similar~ well therres the answer hehe

made a little workroom

more transmission stuff~(for sale Lol!)

where i keep my hood, old downpipe, fan+clutch and fan shroud

dancing pile of ecu's

not a good pic. im prolly going to go back to the tundra deck since it can fit way better than the scion

stuff i bought for the 7m ive never used...

THIS IS THE PAN YOU NEED FOR YOUR 2JZ

and the finale for today.

 

[tlo86]

hey look some more mail

Thank you marlin crawler! was it worth 18$ shipped? i do not know! here it is compared to stock which really wasnt that bad anyway. just dirty... i figured it would be a polyurethene bushing but it was a 'hard urethene'

here it is installed. i never shifted an r154... maybe i shouldve installed this after

here is my relocation kit and oil thermostat! the brass fittings are not tight but man i know why people pay the extra for other fittings... the brass threads are rough... all permacool minus what spins on the block thats earls. notice the size of the oil filter...

its huge! i dont think i purchased the right one but it works so... whatever

 

[thechori]

how much for the old DP? me want!

actually, i might need that shroud too! :0~

nice build though, looking forward to seeing it finished

 

[Poodles]

marlin crawler bushing is made of very hard urithane (sp?) not rubber like the stock part...

did you get the little cup as well?
