2JZ swap mount kit
 

Just got a text from a friend.

Discuss.

Good to have options.
Although, personally, a 2JZ starts to ruin why I bought this car in the first place.

this beats the ls2 option by a mile

Looks ok I would wait till full billet motor mount comes out.

Those bolts look pretty small to hold back the kind of power that a person would be going for if installing a 2JZ.

This just in, Evasive confirms billet 2JZ-FT86 motor mount swap kit.

Thank you!

It doesn't look as if they even completed the welds. Look cheap and weak IMHO

I purchased a set. They came in a few days ago and they're pretty beefy.

I'll let you know how they hold up.

Pictures???

Hmmm I sure hope a good mounting kit comes out by next year when I come back to the states from japan with a couple 2jz engines ;)

Here's a few. I think it'll be plenty to hold the motor. Ryan Tuerck uses them on his pushing 800+

Also, the fasteners are all M10 bolts, 16-17mm heads

Sorry for going slightly off topic but can you still get those engines new? And how much would one set you back?

Thanks for the pictures!

Plug and play motor mount kits would make things very interesting in 5-10 years when used examples become quite cheap... hmmm...

New? I think something in the $6k ranged fully assembled.

So what's the reason why the vvt engines won't work with these? Is it a clearance issue or do they mount differently? Also what other transmission options are there because a getrag seems cost prohibitive for most. It seems most 2jz come auto.

The 2jz is one of my all time favorite engines but...the price seems to be climbing in its old age. But with GM cranking out brand spanking new LS engines everyday their price per HP is getting lower and they have endless transmission options.

I honestly couldn't tell you. I have a non-vvti so it just happened to work out. I was going to go with custom, and I may still depending on fitment.

There's the r154, w58, v160/161.

I have a v160 going in. There will be some coverage, I get in the zone and forget to take pics every time I do something.

A lot of my buddies wanted me to go LS but that's not my style. Props to those who have though! It's not everyday a swapped car comes by, that's only on the net :)

Non vvti is the way to go :)

I must tell you i am very very jelous @slicktop , please keep us updated and ill try to help as much as i can btw

I don't know dude, I'm pretty jealous of you!:bonk:Cuz of the other thread lol

I think in my transition it will be boost it, blow it up (stock engine) and then drop in an lsx (hopefully an ls7, if cheap enough by that point).

What thread ?
Only reason i didnt do a 2j is because
1) down time
2)cost
3)buying a supra soon (fingers crossed )

The turbo build thread you have in Member's Journal.
I understand about 2j, I was thinking going that route myself. Who knows maybe in a few years. But since I saw the map performance turbo kit, that will calm the itch to go FI for a while! Hope you get a Supra :thumbup:

Can't decide if I want to get the head built or not...

No

Good luck. Keep us posted.

Hello
Curious what you are doing for the drive by wire? are you going to convert to cable?

It would be neat to swap in a stock TT Aristo motor 2JZ. It has accommodations for cruise control, traction control, and the electronic throttle sensors, in addition to the cable. From doing research, and since my IS also has the later Supra/Aristo hybrid cable/electronic throttle system, I've come to find out that the electronic sensor is to achieve the same amount of energy produced going uphill as well as downhill, so your car will accelerate the same uphill as in downhill. It automatically increases and decreases the throttle position given the same input depending on elevation. Interesting tech. I wonder how this can be applied to the twins.

Undecided at the moment. Looking at a standard cable system though.

The drive by wire is still manipulated by a cable in the "drive by wire" 2JZ-GTE. The build is taking a lot of turns lately. There was a slight miss-communication and I'm looking into a live axle setup. I don't do twisties so the purists are REALLY going to hate my car.

In any case, the heads are coming off and a set of GSC S2's, Beehive springs/Ti retainers and new valve stem seals are going in.

I plan on pulling the FA20 in April after we move into our new house and it should be a fun build.

Looking forward to the 2jz build. I'm a twisties person but your car is going to make for a badass street/strip toy! 9 sec car and driven to the track.

A 2j can be built for the track too :)

Yeah, but the solid axle sorta takes away from that.

To the OP: Please do a proper long arm suspension with decent triangulation. It will make it that much better to drive down the street and will help control the power. I am sure there has to be drag forums that cover proper suspension setups, but coming from the Jeep world, I have some buddies who have built their own suspesions and there are geometry calculators that can calculate things like articulation, COG, wheel hop, and the like so that you get the best possible setup.

I have a few very very knowledgeable friends that I will be working with to make this all come together. We'll be nailing down specifics very soon.

Just got back from the machine shop earlier today and I'm looking at a fun setup :)

VVTI is front sump that is why it has fitment issues.

Good luck with your build.

only aristo 2J's are front sump. JZA80 vvti engines are rear sump

Bad ass! I have found a fellow 2JZ FT86 brother lol. I just picked up a BRZ and recently joined this forum. My build has been on the low but I will cameo the venture in this thread. I went with the Xcessive Engineering 2JZ FT86 engine mount kit as well.

If you are already in the engine, you might as well do the heads. I replaced the water pump, timing belt, pulled the heads (Stage II PnP) and also went with the GSC S2s mated with the Beehive springs. Heads are fully built along with the bottom end. Don't forget about the billet modified oil pump, billet tensioner, and damper. I went with an ATI super damper crank pulley. I have the V160 6-speed trans with a ATS triple carbon clutch. Still trying to decide on the rear-end and the DS will of course come from the Driveshaft shop. More details will be in my build thread which will be created once I drop the engine in.

Which intake manifold are you going with slicktop? I went with a Virtual Works with a 90mm TB.

Time to share some photos:

If you or anyone else needs some help/advice with a 2JZ build, please give me a shout. I would be glad to help. :thumbup:


You can always swap out the oil pans if need be. :thumbsup:

2JZ Front sump oil pan VS. 2JZ Rear sump

Always great to hear from another guy doing the swap! My motor was dropped off yesterday at the machine shop.

Preliminary details:

10:1 CP Pistons
Carrillo H-beam rods w/ CARR bolts
Pro-Gram mains
ARP fasteners all around
GSC S2
GSC Beehive w/ Ti retainers
GSC Valve guides
GSC Valves (stock size)
GSC VSS

I'm sticking with stock throttle body at the moment because I know it can support four digits. I have the PHR modded oil pump and MVP billet tensioner w/ Gates belt. There's a possibility of some more stuff happening but it's up in the air at the moment.

I'm going with a custom rear end setup. No details on that yet, but I'll definitely keep you in the loop!

@slicktop @Drift&Drag

i hate you guys so much :)
