Chuki the street sleeper build - 2jz

[greenpat01]

Hey guys, it's been 4-5 months since my build have started and I want to share
it with you.

Little story, I'm Patrick from Quebec (so be indulgent for my bad English ) I always wanted a 100% stock and clean s-chassis to start with so I can build it the way I want.

The plan/goal is:
~500 whp on pump gas
Reliable
the most sleeper possible
a car that I can take whenever and wherever I want

That's not going to be a show car by any mean, but a clean car for sure.
Don't expect a 4 inch drop and 195 tire on a 10 inch wheel, I'm not a fan of this.

In May 2016 I found the 'Perfect' car to start with:
1993 240sx
5 speed
no a/c , no hicas
99% stock (aftermarket radio )
Black with black interior
no winter driven
only 2 owners before me







After a little wax








October 2016 I found the r154 and a 2jzgte vvti




Then I start to clean it up

Tranny cleaned

Time to order some new parts

Jz bellhousing
Valve cover gasket
Intake manifold gasket
Belt, bolt, thermosthat, etc

Her is a video of me starting the engine on the floor to make sure everything is fine


December 2016 taking the engine off

[greenpat01]

Dirty engine bay





Battery tray removed and engine bay cleaned a little





Then I got my parts from xcessive !


Engine bracket on

Driftmotion Oem parts


First test fit in the car ! Xcessive mount and bracket are very easy to work with and they fit perfect, love it






Next day, this happen




Single turbo conversion time !

Parts gone to the machine shop for shifter extension and water neck since I will be using a Ka rad

Don't wanna sound dumb, but is starting engines like that safe?
I didn't notice any cooling components hook up, looks sketch..
Sounds badass though lol.

[tricky_ab]

Curious to see where this build is going... 2J is a solid choice!

Nothing wrong about starting an engine with no coolant for 45 sec

[Malik]

thats a clean hatchback

[BryanS14]

Great build. That is what I should have done to my 97 before I turbo'd the ka. I eventually put it back to stock and sold the car.

[greenpat01]

Battery relocation time



The metal plate will be painted black , and a new battery will be ordered





Circuit braker





0 Gauge up to the front








Shifter and water neck back from the machine shop

[d_nice]

looking good man. keep it up

[greenpat01]

Fedex




So this is it , the turbo I will be using:

Borgwarner s257sx-e
Its a 57mm with a 1.22 A/R
T4 twin scroll

for some of you my turbo is very small , but IMO its gonna be perfect for my goal , 500whp on pump , Really fast spool




Engine is clean and refreshed , waiting on my clutch kit to go in

[tb13]

I like the idea of a smaller turbo on a 2jz, the response will make it a weapon on the street and a ton of fun to drive. Peaky power bands are kinda lame IMHO

[greenpat01]

Exactly what I think

[Juan@Fontananissan]

that S257SX-E is going to be NUTS. love the build keep it up!

[greenpat01]

Today i got my order from summit racing




Aeromotive fuel filter
Stealth 340lph fuel pump
New hard fuel line 3/8
fitting and etc



fuel pump installed and ready to go

[justchrisyo]

This is going to be sick!! Sub'd

[greenpat01]

Thanks guys !

[I<3BEWBZ]

Love the build! That car looked very clean when you got it, nice find.

[greenpat01]

Fuel line is near done , new 3/8 steel line and moved to the driver side
still need to mount my fuel filter





Got my EMU black with
wideband , boost solenoiid etc etc




Driveshaft , clutch and powersteering line and new shifter bushing

[CamryOnBronze]

Wow, the car looks amazing! Pretty jealous of you finding one in that kind of condition. Exactly what I wanted to start my build with years ago, but I had to settle for one that was slightly modified. Excellent work so far- looking forward to seeing more!

[greenpat01]

Got my clutch , flywheel , PP and new bearring

Act disc with a custom made PresurePlate





Engine is Finally IN

[tricky_ab]

That 2Jz looks right at home in the bay...

[greenpat01]

Got my intercooler !
Its a Mishimoto R-line
24" x 12" x 4" core
Bar&plate

My car is really dirty , I know and sorry for that

[greenpat01]

Got my FAL installed



Little bath for him







I LOVE the way it look !!
OEM ++

[Malik]

the operative term is sleeper.

most definitely.

[Grenade180sx]

This is such a clean chassis and the KA looked brand new... good stuff!

[ohyouknow]

Awesome build! Did you tune it yet or are you planning to? I'm curious how tuning the VVTi will be. Did the transmission have any clearance issues in the tunnel? And does the S13/14 take a front or rear sump 2JZGTE?

No transmission cleanrance issues at all , and you need a front sump Jz to fit a s-chassis

[greenpat01]

Here we are guys
First time starting the engine in the car with the ECU and new injectors/100% new harness

No hot side a this moment , Next step is manifold/exhaust/intercooler piping and it should run !

[Gr1mey_Norm]

looks like a cool build!
