Pure Auto's Swap Compilation Thread - 2JZ and LSX !
 

Follow This Thread, As Well As Our Swap Blog On Facebook.com/SwapYour86

First of all, I'd like to thank Photobucket for completely ruining all my other threads by asking me for $400 a year to host my photos to third party sites :(

This will be our new compilation thread of everything new and swap related here at Pure. For those that don't know me, I'm Brady, the owner here and we have been in the 86 world since November 2012. We did alot of the first turbo and supercharger milestones and got involved in doing swaps in late 2013. We pride ourselves on making the engine swap as easy as possible for the end user. That unfortunately is the cheapest, but is the best way!

Lets cover all of our swaps in the order they happened:

My personal car/the shop car was the first to go under the knife and get the LS2 swap. The swap was very exciting to do, especially back then, when only a handful of people had even considered it.
We used a primitive swap kit and made it work but had quite a few issues getting the electronics sorted.

Enter: The mighty 2JZ

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4489/...cae4bfd0_z.jpgIMG_0495_zps19d15ba7 by Brady Johnson, on Flickr

I was always enamored with the idea of a 2JZ swap because I thought this platform would make a great baby supra and also make a great drag racing platform. So after we found some decent mounting solutions to get us jump started, we pulled the LS2 and went to work!

Now that we've built a full blown race car, lets take what we've learned and make it easy for everyone to have!

This is our MoTeC M130 Plug and Play Kit

You’ve Put a 2JZ into your 2013-2107 86 Platform, how are you going to make it run and still use all the factory functions and amenities of your car?
After trying numerous methods of getting a 2JZ Swap to work in the Scion FRS/Subaru BRZ platform, buying multiple wiring harnesses with various issues, and spending countless dollars on other company’s “Solutions”, we decided to take matters into our own hands.
Swapping a 2JZ into any car is not for the faint of heart. It requires a laundry list of parts to make it fit right, run right, and drive right. Physically putting the engine into the car is fairly easy using all of our swap parts. Buying Go-Fast parts for your 2JZ engine is pretty straight forward. But getting it to run in a car it didn’t originally come in, that is an entirely different issue.
The FRS/BRZ electronic system relies heavily on CAN BUS. That makes it very difficult to make basic amenities, such as the gauge cluster, work with the swapped engine. Supras and other 2JZ cars output different signals than the FRS/BRZ. Many people have tried short cutting this, but it never quite works like factory.
So how do you make it work? You find an ECU that’s intelligent enough to convert the swapped engine data, into something the car can understand! With our kit, you will be able to bridge the communication gap. We have teamed up with Obsidian Motorsport Group to develop a complete package that will make swapping your FRS/BRZ a breeze!
What Factory Functions Do I Get to Keep?
OEM Power Steering -OEM Electronic Throttle Pedal -OEM Gauge Cluster -OEM Wheel Speed Sensors and ABS System -OEM Fan Module Control -OEM Fuel Pump Module Control
What does MoTeC offer for your setup?
The real question is, what doesn’t it offer? MoTeC is the pinnacle of control and customization for your setup. Endless possibilities for customization await you. Everything from basic functions like boost control to fully customized traction control!

We developed this kit on our first full street setup car. This is Donnie's car. He wanted a badass street car with all the factory amenities and that's exactly what he got. This car makes a little over 500whp with a 5 speed trans, stock engine, just simple maintenance upgrades, a 62mm turbo, and our prototype swap intake manifold!

Here's some pictures of that swap and the swap video explaining how it all works!

So much awesomeness in the first post! You guys rock! I can’t wait to try mine out!

So essentially, all anyone would need other than the swap kit is the transmission, engine, throttle body (according to your website) and engine mounts? probably some fabrication to the trans tunnel as well I'm guessing? Very high level overview, but just to get the jist of things...

That's correct. The real nickels and dimes come from turbo parts, intercooler, injectors, sensors, engine upgrades, etc. That stuff adds up quick.

Did you guys do the w58 from a NA Supra or a R154 from a mk3 on the customer‘s car?

It was an R154, but if you're thinking of going 5 speed, keep in mind that those transmissions are not very strong. That customers car made 500 and ended up eating a couple gears.

@Pure Automotive Do you guys have a electronics package for the Gen V LT4? I have been collecting the hard parts but will need a MoTeC ECU to plug into a C7 harness. I found a few that are developed for the C7 as a direct replacement for the stock ECU, but I want it set up for the swap into my FR-S.

That's not going to happen. We spend weeks developing the firmware to interface and I can't see anyone else spending LT4 money when an LS does basically the same thing. Why not just do an LS?

@Pure Automotive I wanted a factory built GM performance motor. I was going to go LS3, and turbos later. Doing more research I figured LSA would be a better starting point already built for a little boost. Supercharged, and a good candidate to turbo later. After more research I found the LT4 comes with forged pistons, more power, DI, and still built for a little boost, and supercharged. I didn't even look at the LT4 for a while because of the issues it had when it was first released. Looks like they got the early issues resolved, so it looks like a good option now. I think it's my best option as a starting point. Good power, and could handle turbos with conservative boost levels when I'm at that stage.Thanks for the information though. Excellent work on all your swaps they look as good as they perform.

New or used? Why not a built LS for the same price? My LS3 is rated for 10 less HP N/A and is Fully forged. A few of the good shops will even offer a warranty on the engine as well.

:threadjacked:New it's a swap I don't want anything uncertain if I had issues at start up I would suspect the engine if it were used, or the builder if it we're a fully built motor from a shop. I might consider a fully forged unit from a shop but getting it to pass the ref in California would be impossible. At least with stock I have a chance. Your build is sick to @DustinS.

Let's let them have their thread back.

Im in the process of building a built 3L 2J with a cd009 into my BRZ. Im just at the point of painting it since I got it salvaged,... I'll start posting more and make video's as I get progress going on it. you can view my instagram too if any of you want https://www.instagram.com/rob.corriveau/

If LT4s come down in price I'd be all about doing it, but I haven't seen them for less than 10k. I can barely get people to do swaps using 2k engines lol. I sent my MoTeC dev an email just to make sure it's not something I can do for you easily. I'll let you know if I hear good news.

Excellent. It won't need to communicate with the FRS can bus systems as most are eliminated. I just need the AC, power steering, motorsports traction control without the abs unit, and engine. You know the easy stuff lol. Any information helps.

you still have to have the canbus communication to run the power steering ecu, and that will not work without a working abs module since the wheel speeds are sent to the abs unit then broadcast over canbus

Yeah it will get a false signal to get power steering it won't be variable like stock. Later on I will work on a variable torque output based on the speed sensor in the transmission.

Another 2JZ Swap Going Down.... This time is VVTi and CD009 ! I'll probably start a new thread, keep an eye out for Budget Swap 2.0

Black Friday- Cyber Monday !!!

Stopped by Pure Automotive a couple months ago when I was in town. A very cool shop doing awesome things for exactly what I'm building. Brady took the time to give my son and I the tour and I only wished I had the funds to ship one of everything right then and there. In do time it will be done. :23:

Very strange in the video it shows the rear diff with rear mount with OEM bushings and bolts removed, am I missing something here, it doesnt seem like they are working on it....i.e. bolts missing.....and why with all that power OEM bushings? Most guys with this much power have a solid mount.

It has a 9" in it. We don't use the rear mount locations, we have different mounts welded to the rear subframe

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4536/...f9359fd3_b.jpg

You can see the diff mount.

you're not going to pass the ref in California with a motec period..
 

Cali swaps require you to use the stock ecu. No Motec, MS's, etc allowed...

Jaden

It will run off a stock GM ECU with a stock tune.

Then pure automotive isn't your solution
 

Pure Automotive's PnP option uses a Motec 150, so you'll have to use one of the other solutions.

Jaden

Just FYI, to pass the state ref you will need a motor the same year or newer than your car. You will also need to have all emission equipment in place and unmodified. If you modify the exhaust precat then you will fail, so you need to find a motor with an exhaust system that fits without modification. This is also the case for the intake unless you can find an EO# for an aftermarket intake that fits the bay; most OEM boxy intake won’t probably fit our engine bay.

2018 LT4 Wish me luck. I can cut and weld the chassis all I want:burnrubber:

Let's start a second thread once I get rolling on my swap to discuss what will pass in CA, and let them continue their thread.
