s13 2jzge swap coupe build

[s14pit]

Well here is the story so I have had about 4 diff 240's and this time I want to do something a little diff well back when I desided to do that is my plan is for a 2jz swap. Since I am no way near having tons of cash flow I have a N/A 2Jz but If you know anything about them they still have some strong sides, forged rods, and crank same as the turbo motor and a very high flowing head. well here are a few pics to start thanks for looking.

The single slammer

[s14pit]

There will be alot to come I hope everyone enjoys.

[Nick_04K]

You have such a low post count for being an active member so long haha.

Looks good though! Engine bay cleaned up very nicely. Car pics??

And what kinda power can a 2JZ lay down NA? Dont know shit about them unless they're strapped to a t77 or some shit haha.

[sil80d]

gerald. post a pick of your girlfriend, oh and a pic of the car now

[s14pit]

Output is 220 hp JIS (158 to 169 kW) at 5800 to 6000 rpm and 209 to 220 ft.lbf (283 to 298 Nm) of torque at 3800 to 4800 rpm.

Low post count comes from being active on another board that seems to be dyeing so I feel this forum will become my new home.

[s14pit]

Once I got it in it was time to do some wiring I found that I only had to wire up about 6 or 7 wires to get it to fire up

http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/zz183/datsunguy1984/DSC07827.jpg

http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/zz183/datsunguy1984/DSC07826.jpg

After about 2 hours of wiring it started up on the first crank I was really happy to hear it start the motor it self has about 75k miles I had the valve covers off and they were really clean so I am happy about that.

once everything was in I ran into a few problem first who ever had the car before me cross threaded all the trans mounting cross member bolts so I had to drill them out and heal a coil them.

Once that was all fixxed my shifter was about a inch and a half forward of where it need to be. keep in mind they do make a kit to fix this problem they have a longer shifter housing and shifter rod I think 2jz swap makes it and its about 400 dollars I may be off on that price. so what I did was I ordered a 1jz shifter housing and rod that gave me about a half inch back and for the other inch i heated the shifter and reshaped it.

[Flicktitty]

looks good, what mounts did you use so the n/a intake would clear the hood? i always figured it would hit.

[s14pit]

I have Rucas mounts with solid engine mounts the intake used to touch the hood the I cut down the emgime mounts tell the sub oil pan was about a 1/8 inch from the rack. then it cleared with no further problems.

Cool, thats some good info right there. best of luck with the rest, i'm excited to see how it turns out. i think bang for buck a NA-T 2JZ is a pretty damn way to go.

[xBtony]

sick. love jz's. deff stoked to see how this turns out

[s14pit]

I am updating everything to where I am now so keep checking in.

[s14pit]

Then after I got to this point this is when I moved to Phoenix I packed my car and whatever I could get in my truck and moved to Phoenix.

My car has sat like that for the past 2 months until I had some checks rolling in.

[ChicagoS14]

AWESOME BUILD! I daily drive my SC300 with a 2JZGE and I dont care what anyone says, boosted or not, 2JZs are awesome engines. Mine has 210K on it and runs better then most cars Ive driven with lower mileage.

Im droppin a 1JZGTE into my S14 but still missing a few parts to make it driveable, $$$ is the main issue.

I think someone needs to work out an aftermarket upgrade for the N/A 2JZ intake manifold, because the whole cross over is a bit annoying especially when doing regular maintenance such as spark plugs on the car. Also with the intake going over next to the exhaust I imagine it heat soaks quite a bit.

I think a light weight flywheel, a nice header, intake, and a few mods and that N/A 2JZ will come to life. That with the light weight of the 240 and it will be plenty fun for driving. And as far as reliability... honestly I think theres no way you can pop that thing especially with 75xxx on it.

GOOD LUCK!!! SUBSCRIBED

[xblack240x]

very nice build. keep us updated!

[s14pit]

Here are a few pics of when I was doing my gauge cluster it is still not done yet.

I still need a gauge mount for my boost and for my wide band

[s14pit]

Then like three weeks ago I ordered my radiator and picked up some new radiator hoses from work for a n/a supra

There are a few companies out there that make front facing intake manifolds for the 2JZ-GE. i know there are a few "ebay" brands and a few nicer ones out there. seem they work pretty well.

[240WES]

For not having " the cash flow " lol ur doin pretty good n it looks like a neat n organized job thumbs up for sure!

[s14pit]

I want to keep everything very clean.

[ixfxi]

working on that will be lots of fun


oh my

[s14pit]

I just got my power steering line put on thank you suspicious garage it fit the way I wanted and looks great I think that I am going to take my pump off and go with a AN return line also.

[CLM_s13Type-x]

Awesome build man! Cant wait to see that boosted.:rawk:

[Jybfan04]

I likes sir, keep up the good work!

[kalypso123]

wow, this rocks

[s14pit]

I have also picked up a few things such as a steering spacer, power steer reservoir with AN fittings welded on and also some poly rack mounts. all from Efrain at suspicious garage Thanks buddy. well now to the bad news all good things have there bad. As I was driving from Future to Suspicious I found that my trans had no 1st or 3rd gear. I got this trans thinking it was good to go but you all know how that is. So friday I will be pulling the trans out and taking it apart to see what is going on with it. I guess there goes my coils fund wheels fund but depending on whats wrong I will be putting the marlin crawler shift fork, thrust washer and bearing plate. I hope to have more pics up this weekend and some good news on my R154 trans problem.
http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/zz183/datsunguy1984/DSC08036.jpg

[kalypso123]

you might find another r154 on the cheap... :0)

or w58... or whatever else.

[Nick_04K]

So this thing is actually going to be NA-T soon? I kind of thought it was down the road. :wtc: for me because i wanted to see some NA tuning going on.

Definitely a good deal for you though!

[s14pit]

I am uploading my build thread this is a running car already I am trying to get all my pics on here so more people might get some help from it. the trans has been rebuilt why mess with old stuff.

[s14pit]

Well here is a little update I have my trans back in after the rebuild. It feels great, I just picked up some Future Fab modified knuckles and boxed s14 lower control arms and also a steering spacer. I will be installing these items when I get up with a alignment also. Here are a few pics to go along with this also some before pics of the steering angle.
Future Fab helped with getting my exhaust done also

http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/zz183/datsunguy1984/DSC08047.jpg
I also put my res on so that when I am ready for my front facing manifold I wont have to wory about my power steering res. I have to make it back to suspicious garage to finish the lines.
http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/zz183/datsunguy1984/DSC08053.jpg
Before knuckles and control arms and steering spacer I am sure I wont have full lock until I get a better offset rim but that is coming
http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/zz183/datsunguy1984/DSC08045.jpg
this for shits and giggles
http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/zz183/datsunguy1984/DSC08054.jpg

[s14pit]

Well here are a few pics of my power steering set-up I think that everyone should have this done. call SUSPICIOUS GARAGE to get a quote they are badass and never have a power steering leak again unless the rack goes.

[s14pit]

So I had some time today and I put my front fenders and bumper back on and some other things. I still need to get a hood, corner lights and a silvia grill. I sent my wheels off to powder coating today they should be done by monday.

[s14pit]

Well I have not done much to the car in the past month since my wheels have bee out for powder coating. I did paint my engine bay to try and clean it up a little.
http://i826.photobucket.com/albums/zz183/datsunguy1984/40120_166591296696457_100000367639436_414132_14822 57_n.jpg

DRD I used Duplicolor high temp semi gloss paint like 4 coats. there is alot I still need to unbolt and move and finish it up.
I hope to have it back from greg this week so I can get it to work and align it to have it ready for the bbq.

[NismoTuner21]

Sickk man! My good buddy slides his S13 with an N/A 2J as well. He has an older motor with no VVT-I from a Soarer. Can't wait to see your car done! You're gonna love it!

[ixfxi]

interesting project

but


why not just buy a supra, either NA or turbo. at least you wouldnt end up with a (gasp)... 240sx.

[redhatchy92]

love the project. always wanted to see what a worked on n/a 2j can do on a light chassis. keep it up

[s14pit]

A supra is a really heavy car at 3400 pounds and a 240 2600 pounds so this motor feels really good in this car. I have driven lots of supras and they are not a car to just go out and drift or road race.

yeah but 240's well... they kinda suck. supras on the other hand, suck much less.

i think the 240's are good, basic, tin cans. i have an sc too, its really strong and well built.. but much heavier.

i am curious what your car weighs. put it on the scales. guaranteed over 3k, my guestimation.

cool project though, must be fun.

i am curious what your car weighs. put it on the scales. guaranteed over 3k, my guestimation.

cool project though, must be fun.

as a fellow 2JZ S13 person.

i've had mine on the scales S13 coupe,base model 98% full interior (no back seat, but a piece of sheet metal and carpet over it, and a bolt in cage, no spare tire, but a 250 piece tool set and some oil/fluids/etc and it weighed at like 28XX on a grain scale (not sure how accurate those are on lighter weights) Thats with a 2JZGTE AUTOMATIC single turbo.

that setup is getting put into another s13 coupe this one with full power options and will get weighed with full interior i'll post up the weight when its done.

[redhatchy92]

my coupe all stock se model full weight, sunroof, and a trunk full of crap and it weight in at 2710. 2700lb with a 220+ naturally aspirated engine sounds like a hole lot of fun

[niteridaz503]

damn lovin the build, gotta show coupe love

[S14kouki_10]

What exhaust you got there?

[s14pit]

I have a lot of camber because of the lack of toe rods when I camber my wheels out the toe goes so far out the stock arms cant compensate.

The exhaust was done by future fab here in phoenix.

[s14pit]

Raise car.
Get rid of some of the camber.
Fix quarter panel dent.
Fix fender alignment.
Paint hood.
....Perfect!
Haha just harassing ya bro. Shit looks good! :2f2f:

Need toe rods for the rear
rear dent wont come out from the fender pull
fender alignment gets messed up from when I go to drift events at full lock my tire hits the fender at times.

The car is no show car it was put together to look half good and take to the track.

[s14pit]

Here is a pick of my deep angle kit modified knuckles and boxed control arms and steering rack tie rod spacer. way better than washers

great work man... my friend and i just finished his fully built 2j but thats in a mk4 but still love those engines though ill take an rb over that anyday :fawkd:

[A54]

Nice project...

[Melo_speed]

What is the point of tubs? sorry for the noob question.

By the way car is looking sweet , just needs boost then your golden.

2jz in a s13 is what i plan to do aswell in my near future.

Good luck with the build bro, now you just need vids of that n/a doing work.

[s14pit]

I started having problems with my wheel hitting the body after I did the knuckles and s14 control arms thats why I had the tubs done.

The next drift event is this month hope to have some vids from that.

i am a fan

How did you get your hands on the Ruckus Racing mount kit? Also, can you elaborate a bit more as far as what you did with the wiring? I'm gathering my list of goodies for when my tax return comes in =D

That actually made me laugh, but on a serious note is it for if u want to run wider wheels and tires up front?.....or is it so that the car can be lower up front.

[Miker]

IMO

raise the rear a tad and space that shit out.

otherwise awesome.

[s14pit]

I dont need spacers I need toe rods the camber is way to neg. and stock toe rods wont allow me to bring the toe in enough when I camber the wheels out.

I am Running 18's in the back and 17's up front Work cr kei's both with the widest and lowest offset offered in a 17 and 18

They were "absorbed" by Zerolift.

[DavidBaustert]

I work for the company who originally designed the Ruckus mounts. I have since re designed them and they will be up for sale in the near future once they come back from the laser cutter and we get them welded up.

[s14pit]

These mount really put the motor in a good location it has it about a 1/4 from the firewall and fit the stock subframe really good.

[s14pit]

Waiting on rear arms so I can get my alignment into the proper specs I want I just hope the pull in the back is enough.

[bllabong89]

nice job man. I love that shotty sticker on your quarter glass. That thing looks like the china lake from black ops.lol

No those 2 valve cover are the start of the next motor for this car a 1.5jz with a 2jz turbo bottom end with wisco pistons in it stock rods. and some other fun stuff.

[BoostSlideWayz]

Ohh i thought you were putting that on the n-a motor cuz usually people put the turbo model ones on after they get front facing intake.

[s tuned]

looks great wish i could do a build but the way things are looking i might have to sell ma bby mine is a hatchie though

i get no credit for the valve cover paint? you bastard! haha. i saw an Evil Engineering sticker in that video, Dan will be proud

I really feels slugish untill 3k rpm and then it pulls hard it feels alot faster than a sr I have yet to run one rust to see.

wow, great build... very clean and no shortcuts... keep up the great job

[redhatchy92]

I really feels slugish untill 3k rpm and then it pulls hard it feels alot faster than a sr I have yet to run one rust to see.

hmmm.... what do you think causes the sluggishness???? i would think a 3.0 would make good bottom torque

hmmm.... what do you think causes the sluggishness???? i would think a 3.0 would make good bottom torque

[kalypso123]

strip the wheels back to metallic finish, and run vertex aero all around!

[hypercrush]

that would be going backwards, car doesnt need "aero". it looks good OEM style and slammed. im gonna steal it one day

[s14pit]

Yes I am a fan of no aero real factory look and slammed.

[JohnnyDrfiter22]

S14pit, is there any other mods that need to be done to run S14 LCA's and what are the advantages is it because they are longer?

Also Great build, such a difference from beginning to end!!

[s14pit]

Ya running the s14 control arms are going to give you better camber. you have to press s13 ball joints into them unless you have s14 spindals.

[redline240sx]

Awesome build bro, You have a build thread like this on NICO as well right? I know I seen this thread somewhere else. Excellent work man!!!

[s14pit]

no, only here and my local board. I dont have a NICO acount.

[s14pit]

I hope to have all the parts I need by the end of the month so I can swap my other motor in. I am going to have the engine bay painted while the engine is out.

i will one day have painted every 240 engine bay in AZ. yours may be my next victim

I am running a tomei 2.0 way with stock gears.

Its going to be used for street and drift.

Thank you.

I have been really trying to work on my driving skills I try and change at least one thing on my car for every event. One time I toyed with my alignment the next was more alignment like less camber in rear more caster up front. Next it was tire sizes and ride height and more alignment. This time it was dampening, this adjustment more effects than I could ever imagine. I started with both to full stiff this made out great out back Bad up front making me under steer bad. so I adjusted it all the way loose this made for real grippe feel with over steer so a little fine tune it felt better. the rear I adjusted a little softer maybe in the middle of adjustment felt great.

[AceUp]

proud of u gerald! keep kicking ass!

[2muchboost]

Congrats....I am sure the car is a gem and fun to drive. I myself am working on a 2jzge swap (72k miles on motor and clean) into an s14. I went a little bit crazy as I always do and instead of keeping the car stock for a while i started upgrading things here and there. So unfortunately the car wont be complete till the end of the summer. Thank you for the motivation, looking at these threads and watching the video assures me I made the right choice when I decided not to swap in my fully built SR20det and go with a more reliable and very stout 2jzge. Keep up the good work.

No those 2 valve cover are the start of the next motor for this car a 1.5jz with a 2jz turbo bottom end with wisco pistons in it stock rods. and some other fun stuff.

Late late response but why go with the old head? If youve heard the rumor about how the older GTE head flows better then the 2jzgte head its a false rumor... the 2JZGTE head does flow better and better volume of air. Here is what breaks that rumor.

" It has been a very common rumor on here for a long time that the 1JZ head flows better than the 2JZ. This has lead to alot of people doing the 1.5JZ swap or atleast wanting to. Over the last few weeks I have been building a 1JZ, including porting the head, for a customer. I flowed the head on our SF-600 flow bench before and after I ported the head.

A stock 2JZ flows about 238in and 154ex at .400 lift. A stock 1JZ head flows 215in and 133ex at .400 lift. After I did a good street port job including reworking the chamber the 1JZ head flowed 230in and 152ex at .400. This should put to rest the idea that the 1JZ head is better than the 2JZ, because the fact of the matter is that it is not better.

Erin "

That is off of another forum but its all true and the 1jz with 2jzgte block is false. you'll be better off just getting a full 2jzgte..


car looks nice by the way i love it.

[s14pit]

I am not doing a 1jz because I thought that it flowed better I am doing because I have about 3 1jz motors laying around. I have a full running 1jz motor set that is going in my car next. I also have a true 2jzgte short block that is getting rebuilt and getting one of my other 1jz heads put on it only because I have them laying around. I use this car to drift and I dont need crazy power like most people with 1jz or 2jz want. I only want reliable power with good torque.

[turtle m3th]

still really interested in peeping a video! you still workin on that?

[s14pit]

Ok so after going crazy and for whatever I am thinking I pulled my motor and started on my next motor swap.
since my engine bay has never been as clean as I wanted it I will also be doing some relocating of things also.
Here are a few pics from last night and a little today.
Getting the new motor placed in the bay this is all coming back apart for the engine bay to get painted.

[HIGHFIVEBETA]

Question. What exactly do you do with that radiator setup when you want to drain and do a coolant flush?

[s14pit]

well when you want to drain the cooling system have to just take one of the -16's off to drain and on mine we moded the radiator so its a dual pass so both hoses are on top.

[turtle m3th]

[s14pit]

Well For 2 days of work alot has been done ELEVENS finished the engine bay, Rene and I put the motor in, plumbed the turbo the radiator and replaced all the fuel lines with aluminum ones and placed them in the car and basiclly everything is ready to go. The car is back at FUTURE FAB getting down pipe and the intercooler pipes done. Vitaly and I worked on my harness and got that most of the way done.

nice, I'd like to see how you did the fuse box

: D

[pandaroo]

did you use the zerolift mount kit? it looks like your motors pointing a little too the passenger side. i say this cause i had the same the same problem it just took some of drift freaks mounts and 4 hours of fine tuning lol.
looks sexy as hell man.

[s14pit]

I used rucas mounts.
got the car home I am so happy I hope to get better pics this weekend but here is one.
Time to give it bath and take a little drive to bad its 110 degrees outside.

[thefro526]

Don't know if you'd be down for this but, want to make me a coil pack cover like yours? I'd be willing to pay for the hassle? Shoot me a pm if you're down.

Also, radical business. Keep it up.

[s14pit]

The plate was made by Future Fab TheFutureFab (http://www.futurefabrication.com/) Great guys.

Well after the drift event last night I found that I am going to be adding power steering to my car no power steering is not for me fighting it all the time.

I had a piece of metal get stuck in the waste gate keeping it open.

the power feels great I think the turbo is a little to big so I am going to keep my eye open for a gt3076r with a .63 A/R turbo.

[s14pit]

Here are some shots of the fab work I have a few adjustments that need to be done adjust my oil drain and AN my blow off valve and waste gate

Just to show how close everything is one of the few JZ V-mounts

[paintkilz]

so nice! the v mount looks great. im attempting to source a 1jz for my s13 hatch too. a buddy who is a toyota guy is trying to convince me to just look until i find a cheap 2j though.

really love the v mount though. 1 thing i was concerned with was the lack of space in there for fans.

[florante rea]

Nice info, I'm doing a 2jgte.

[redfox]

This thing is sweet as hell!

Any shots of how the exhaust is routed under the car? did you get the AC hooked up, or do you plan to get it hooked up? I haven't had AC in either of my cars this summer, I think I lose a year off my life every time I drive somewhere.

[4DOOR_LIFE]

Damn talk about taking it to another level. I was already a fan after you had the 2j in and cr kai's on. then this happened. holy fuck.

nice work bro, can't wait to see this in action.

The fans a puller fans they are under the radiator.

[s14pit]

If you look at some pics with the engine bay there can never be ac in this car the fire wall was welded up.
I have been really trying to have a really simple setup and I think that I have got this.

I think for a street car it is super fun next I am working on the interior I am going full interior with a 6 point cage and then The outside will be repainted.

[hypercrush]

and then The outside will be repainted.

hey girl wassup? ;)

[s14pit]

After daily driving this car for about two weeks solid I have not had any problems except I am about to be on my third rebuild master all of them leak out the res. so I am getting a factory one and hope this works.

that blows...how much is a new one vs what you were getting a rebuilt one for?

[jdm2191]

who did your wiring on the 1JZ?

[Flicktitty]

Must say i LOVE your V-mount setup, really makes me want to do this.

did you notice any difference in IAT or coolant temps switching over to this way?

[s14pit]

Me and Vitaly did my harness there is less than 30 wires I would only what was need to run the motor was left.

MY coolant temps on the hot side of the block stay at 185 thats with the Phoenix heat of 116.

I want to start on the interior but I just started back to work and I need to by a AEM and a tune first.

Wait so u need less than 30 wires? I didnt understand what u said?

[AceUp]

yup yup. JZ harnesses are super easy to adapt. Gerald actually is using the 2j electronics/injectors so we gutted the auto stuff and all the unnecessary plugs. depinned all the wires out of the ecu plug, routed them how we wanted and pinned them back in. also replaced all the broken clips which JZ harnesses have a lot off.

This car is awesome, one of the fastest big builds ive ever participated in, and turned out great! The only thing that really needs to be finished is the side and top ducting for the vmount to get the whole effect.

So I have no updated in a long time. I went to a new turbo set-up since my old turbo took a shit. I am running a little guy 57 trim that feels great on 12psi. My stock turbo 7m clutch would not hold in third gear so I order a stage 3 spec clutch with ace up.
New 57trim set-up
