Pure Auto's 2JZ Swap Thread - The DRAGFRS
Hey guys, I'm sure some of you have already seen our build thread but since there's finally a swap forum I decided to move it over here as well. Our car was previously LS2 swapped before we decided to go 2JZ. The V8 swap was insanely fun and the only reason we decided to 2JZ was because we were offered good money for the LS2 setup. So being a lover of Supras, I decided its time to do what I wanted to do from the start- Put Toyota power into my Toyota!
The car will be purpose built for drag racing. I'm sure a lot of people won't like that but that's what I really enjoy and the 2JZ platform is no stranger to the 1320. Now for some pictures! Test Fitting With Stock Manifolds Test Fitting Our Beautiful PowerHouse Racing Turbo Manifold The Precious, Borg Warner S400SX 67MM FMW Test Fitting Our Custom Intake Manifold With Wilson Throttle Body Starting To Clean Up The Rest Of the Engine Bay- ABS Delete, Booster Delete, Partial Wire Tuck Engine Is Nearly Complete! Just have to degree the cams and she's all set! Meanwhile, the car is getting a massive face lift. Partially shaved bay and fixing all the small knicks and bumps. Before After Thanks to @spitfire481 the car is looking "Purer" than ever haha! It's so greeeeeen! Wraps and great, plastidip is cheap, but there is no replacement for the hard work and art of a full paint job! Starting to piece the bay back together for insertion, transmission is on it's way! I'm not online every day, but I will try to keep the thread updated as we go! Last edited by Pure Automotive; 03-31-2015 at 09:41 PM. |

No more power brakes? Installing a chute out back?

If it goes fast enough I will. Manual brakes aren't as bad as you would think. I recently found out that when I had the v8 in there and the ABS light was on, I was really only braking with the front brakes and now that ABS is gone I will have fully functioning and adjustable front and rear. I'm hoping for an overall improved braking experience with just a bit more pedal pressure.

What's your end goal? Going to end up with a front shell of a car like Ekanoo?

No way, I'm not rich like that lol. The car will be in all original body and will have full interior from the seats forward. It will be getting a roll cage and possible a chute if the mph is there. But I fully intend to continue putting street miles on it. I'm not a fan of trailer queening. I put about 2000 miles on the V8 swap on the street before we pulled it.

Open ended question here but...
How much would it cost for a basic turn-key 2jz swap?

Engine/Trans, if you go V160, you're talking $8k Custom Wiring Harness, starting at $800 Custom Driveshaft, at least $500 if you get it deal Custom intercooler piping, WG, BOV $1000 + Turbo Manifold $1500 and up for quality setups Custom downpipe and dump tube $500+ Turbo $1000-25000 depending on what kind/size Clutch, Flywheel, Custom Shifter- If you plan to make real power $1400+ Stand Alone Engine Management $2000 RacePack Dash $800 Custom hoses for radiator, heat, A/C, etc. $500+ Axles to support 600+hp Rear end to support 600+ ^ This puts you around $13k and we haven't even opened this used motor to build or do maintenance on anything. You're going to want cams, cam gears, valve springs, retainers, new water pump, new timing belt, new gaskets, at a MINIMUM before you put it in the car, there's another $1500 not including labor. Now you're talking $15k in parts alone, now someone has to spend xx amount of days properly installing everything, clearencing everything, tuning, etc. I don't mean to sound ignorant, arrogant, presumptuous, etc. But this is my 3rd engine/trans setup in this car and I can tell you from experience, its ALOT of work and ALOT of unexpected expenses that you come across as you do a swap. I wish I could tell you we do 2JZ swaps for $10k installed but I would be lying and giving you false hope. *** Disclaimer: This is NOT an advertisement. None of the prices I have put above are in any way an actual price quote for any services/parts. I am simply using numbers for an explanation that people need to see to understand. Please don't delete this as an attempt to advertise, it is NOT. |
