Project 2JZ change up

[roadracer4life]

Well as alot of my friends would say i have come to my senses and decided to put the a 2JZ in my nissan 240 instead of the volvo.. Its a better project and should be more valueable and more than likely faster than the volvo "due to weight". So the project started full ahead today with the engine transplant...
Nice fit

i made the trans mount.. WOOT

its gonna be a slow project but hopefully running in 6 monts or so cash flow dependant... :steering:

[jsta240]

ah shiiet

[2Fast4Radar]

Is that the transmission from my green car too?

[LT16speedTA]

I'm glad you came to your senses!;) :D Car should be awesome when you are done.

[xamraci]

haha...I expected to see this pretty soon...hahaha


you are fucking awesome Sam...:headbang:

[roadracer4life]

Is that the transmission from my green car too?

na its an R154 outta a toyota soarer just a 5 speed but a good bit stronger than the w58... Should hold up to about 800whp:D

[easy2speed]

Finally:P I can't wait to go for a ride in it.

[2Fast4Radar]

R154 for the win.

[phillyd]

nice!

[Swine]

Hellz yea!

[Jnic335i]

sam you have to many fast toys. build me one ;)

[zmasterB]

I have just returned from investigating these developments & all I can say is :thumbsup:

This is gonna be one fun project :steering:



Dammit I'm gonna want one...........300zx for sale?!!?!??

[IronMonkey]

nice....any plans to make anymore of those mounts? :)

[VDUBNDizzy]

Hotness. :pimp:

[roadracer4life]

nice....any plans to make anymore of those mounts? :)
na just my car but it wasent a big deal to make them
i just wasent gonna pay 1500 for the moded subframe from tech2.. there good but just not worth the money..

[xamraci]

na just my car but it wasent a big deal to make them

werd...and I was going to try and score that body off of you in the near future if you ending up not putting a motor in it:(

[titec2]

R154 for the win.

It's just that pesky shifter location. (3" too short).....I know.... That's what she said......

[Jess]

ugh sooo awesome. That's gonna be the shit right there.

[Autoworks]

ballin

[gangsta coupe]

nice....any plans to make anymore of those mounts? :)
Parker chassis in Salem will make you one for cheep.

[roadracer4life]

so i understand the rearend should hold up... :)

[LT16speedTA]

I'm liking that motivational pic!:cool:

[roadracer4life]

got the better half of the intake manifold done today and hope to finish it up tomorow..

[easy2speed]

I am getting more excited about this project than I was about mine.

[A418t81]

The intake mani is going to be badass, hopefully it gets finished up today.

[roadracer4life]

[xamraci]

hmmm...NA 2JZ with ITBs:O


hahaha...lookin good sam

[jsta240]

oh no way itb will be so bad ass have fun with the tune

[LT16speedTA]

I'm not seeing ITB's guys... looks like velocity stacks to me.;)

Looks good so far keep the pics comming!:)

[titec2]

^^^CORRECT. No ITB"S these are just the stacks the plenum will be attached to them. I guess that Sam will get the whole thing welded up over at the shop tonight. He did a mock-up over the weekend to test fit prior to the final weld up. There is some concern about clearance at the brake booster. I feel sure that he will post up some more pics when final fit-up is done.

[jsta240]

well in that cas they dont need a plenum they need to gsxr throttle bodies to sit on

[IronMonkey]

rb26 has itbs....i think it might be easier :)

[titec2]

This is what the finished product will look like going down the track except it will be red / maroon.

I knows demz not ITBs...I was making an NA joke;)

Another:
Same car, little slower (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKwdnllvB9Y)

Of course its gonna need a Powerglide to run exactly like that.........o yeah & the GT55R too.........
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a196/zmasterb/2s5xisz.jpg

But it'll be nice to know that you could if you wanted to.....haha ironically enough, the car in the above vids & pic used to be a KA turbo too :P

I think 7-800 wheel & the 5-speed will do just fine anyways :D

[IronMonkey]

Is that Duy's car?

Edit---nevermind...just watch the vid.

[titec2]

Duy is running a gt4788 t4. and spraying it off the line till 80mph. The last dyno on that car as it was seen in the video I posted was 1180 whp.

[tig488]

damn, thats a huge bitch. look at those endtanks!

[titec2]

Here is the latest dyno graph and some info on his set up.

[dixond]

balls

[xamraci]

he just needed that laughin gass to get that big ole turbo to kick..I get it:P

[neoamd]

[titec2]

Well Hell where is the fun in that?....... It looks like it clears everything as is NO rebuild required.:cool:

[xamraci]

doper than dope

[nissandrftr88]

Looking good,cant wait to see this on the dyno then blazing down the track.

[Pegasus_Red]

Sam, what do you think of this in regards to a possible swap?

put a 1jz in it.. its much more cost effective..

[Pegasus_Red]

I see your point given that I can really only find JDM engines rated at 280 for a grand more but same hp

is it hard to get a drive shaft for there trans and what not?
how are you attacking it?

[roadracer4life]

alittle update on this project..

ITS GOING VERY SLOW.....


on other notes since i started this project i changed jobs and places to work on the car soo finally getting some decent work done..

Took the head off and cleaned up the engine and head "nice and new looking now"...
New parts installed
ARP Head studs
HKS 1.5mm headgasket..

i have ordered alot of parts this week that should be here soon..

timing belt and tensioner pully
cam seals, oil pickup tube, valve cover gaskets and other what nots....
and the big money got spent on a
Spec Twin disk clutch.. they made it custom for me and hopefully its going to
live up to the hype..
I will try to get some pics up soon..
Sam:2xFU:

[vman932]

stock ge internals i assume? if so why not a thicker headgasket? that 1.5mm doesnt seem like it would yield a very boost friendly compression ratio. arent you planning on putting a good bit of boost to it?

[roadracer4life]

stock ge internals i assume? if so why not a thicker headgasket? that 1.5mm doesnt seem like it would yield a very boost friendly compression ratio. arent you planning on putting a good bit of boost to it?

it should take it a full point lower cr than stock.. from what i have gathered its going to take it down to 9.0:1.. I think that should be fairly boost friendly..

gonna run race gas in it most of the time too..

Sam

[vman932]

the earlier (OBDI non-vvti) 2jzge must have a different piston shape and/or combustion chamber volume. this is the information i have gathered for the later 2jzge:
1.5mm HG >>> 9.35:1
2.0mm HG >>> 8.97:1
2.5mm HG >>> 8.6:1
2.8mm HG >>> 8.42:1
3.0mm HG >>> 8.29:1

im sure you've done you homework though :thumbsup:
i hope the toyota treats you well :D

thats cool i hadent seen that but still dont think the CR will be an issue.. I am more concerned with is ruining the squish/quinch pad area.. ether way it should haul ass

[vman932]

the rods and piston are much more stout/ tolerant in the earlier 2jz as well, so you should be able to get away with more static compression.

any interest in making another intake manifold?:)

yea maybe make another one but not anytime soon..
It took the better part of a weekend..

[titec2]

Come on Sam you know it's just like on those car building shows on TV you just roll the car in and in two days it's all done. The mainfold could not take more than an hour and a half tops to make. You know if it looks clean and simple how hard could it be.

BTW when are you going to come by and finish up he mainfold?

I may be interested in making you a mainfold if Sam does not mind me doing a knock off of his design.

PM me.

Sorry for the thread jack

http://www.pbase.com/sam3481/image/99951701.jpg

now time for some more fab work.. gotta make the wastegate fit , buy and fit an intercooler and Mr.Greg at Go-Autoworks.com is gonna help me out with some phatty intake piping..

[nissandrftr88]

Great progress Sam,don't slow down! November will be here before you know it:D

[1.8t]

This is suck a fucking awesome project. Can't wait to see it in action.

[adam p]

OMG Sam this is the most badass build ever. Holy crap, I want this car. :patriot:

[titec2]

You think you could have gotten it a little closer to the fire wall? :omg:

[phillyd]

nice! :O :D

This thing has got to be finished by now!:bang:

[Autoworks]

Looks good.

Can the compressor inlet be clocked down anymore wotards the manifold away from the frame/strut tower? (only the top half of the pics would load for me for some reason). Asking because if it is a 3" inlet I think I have a few tight radius 3" silicone 4 ply couplers here that would fit there perfectly.

Sam, I think he's offering a sponsorship....free parts...you may want to take him up on it.

[roadracer4life]

well Greg what ever you think will work best.. let me know some night when you have some spare time and you can come check out the car and give me some ideas.. and dont worrie jay i always end up payin in the end..

I've got some "pictures/ideas" in my head. I'll give you a call. I can meet up with you any evening whenver your there. I'll just box up some 3" alum. & syl. bends that I think would work. We can lay it out from there.
It looks like
Hotside:
3" sil. 90-alum 90 to the fender hole-45-90 to FMIC

Coldside:
4" to 3" somethin- 90-45-90 to FMIC
I could be wrong, but that's kinda what I gathered from looking and what I remember you telling me. The 45* coupler is available too

[roadracer4life]

I ordered a whole shitload of stuff today all little nitpicky stuff but stuff i needed anywho..
new
shifter bushings
intake and exhaust manifold gaskets
6 40amp relays
fuse panel and relay blocks
MSD plug wires
and possiable 1000hp intercooler pending
WOOT

Sam

[jsta240]

it would be awesome to max out that IC

[xamraci]

it would be awesome to max out that IC


yes...dis ber ber true

it would be awesome to max out that IC

that be da plan

that be da plan
:O :O :O :O :O :O :O .... we are going plaid

[Autoworks]

Definately a great looking project in person. The intake mani/TB setup gets a big :thumbsup: here.

[Autoworks]

The TB reducer is on the way :headbang:

[roadracer4life]

just alittle progress...
got the throttle cable bracket made and also made a power steering bracket and sourced out a belt..
http://www.pbase.com/sam3481/image/101026689.jpg

figured if i want to go fast steal some parts off of fast peoples cars.. sorry Andy your intercooler is mine now..
http://www.pbase.com/sam3481/image/101026697.jpg

perfect fit
http://www.pbase.com/sam3481/image/101026696.jpg

and bought some new tools
http://www.pbase.com/sam3481/image/101026698.jpg

time to make some more GO FAST parts...

[Swine]

damn man, nice welder.

[Autoworks]

That FMIC is a perfect fit, looks good.

Nice new tool :thumbsup:

[titec2]

Can I come over and use your welder to make a few welds? I have about 20' of 1/2" aluminum plate I need to weld up......:D HAHAHA Nice welder....

[Autoworks]

Your TB reducer is here :rock:

[roadracer4life]

sorry no new pics to post but got some progress done this weekend..
went to pull-a-part and picked up some hubs from a Q45 to go along with my Q45 diff and axle.. now i need a driver side axle from a 300zxTT to finish off that swap..
cut the battery tray out for the IC piping and fresh air piping.. and started with some wiring...

Sunday i got the injectors installed in the manifold with some help from Jay and wired some more stuff up..

Hopefully i will have some pics up shortly..

Sam

[linuxman51]

Ant already got the brakes off all the Q45's :locked:

QFT!

I got all four sets,sold one set to brett and im keeping one.so if you wanna buy a set lmk....and if you see them at pull-a-part you better get them before i see them if you want them




I think this might be ready before IFO!!!

[Autoworks]

3" aluminum shipment will be here this week. We can get it all done this weekend if your game.

[roadracer4life]

I am always game... :)

[roadracer4life]

got some more progress done this weekend..
modded the exhaust manifold for the tial V60 wastegate
made oil drain for turbo and made hot side intercooler piping
mounted the exhaust mani, turbo and wastegate for good i hope
made the main hot leads for the starter and alternator.

still needed parts list
fuse/distrabution block for heavy lead connections 100amp stuff
main drive shaft
300zx tt left side drive shaft

still a good bit of wiring to do but most of the heavy fab work is done..
hoping to have it running before the end of this month cash flow dependant..

[dixond]

NICE! Sounds like it'll be ready by Sept 28th?

[roadracer4life]

Good Progress...now where's the pics??

i need to take some more pics but it dosent look a whole lot diffrent that it did a few weeks ago.. I need that pimp coupler for the throttle body and i will finish up the IC piping.. progress is slow and i am kinda straped for cash but its going along..

the hell you say.

[J Taylor]

It's about the same as it's been for about the past 2-3 years. lol. I seem to stay to busy with other little projects to ever get around to doing anymore to the 280. Only thing new with it is trying out the transbrake for the first time and snapping both axles!

There are a couple of 2jz 240sx's pretty close to me.....seems like a pretty sweet setup.

JT

[roadracer4life]

well that car has always been impressive and you usually put on a great show at IFO.. I still have a good bit of money to spend on my car but hopefully i will have it all together and running by then...

It's about the same as it's been for about the past 2-3 years. lol. I seem to stay to busy with other little projects to ever get around to doing anymore to the 280. Only thing new with it is trying out the transbrake for the first time and snapping both axles!

There are a couple of 2jz 240sx's pretty close to me.....seems like a pretty sweet setup.

ALABAMA’S MONTGOMERY MOTORSPORTS PARK to OPEN
NEW SEASON of SPEED™ SERIES PINKS ALL OUT

GEORGE HOWARD SAYS, “WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO HOSTING THE
LARGEST DRAG RACING EVENT EVER ORGANIZED IN ALABAMA."

PINKS ALL OUT HEADS TO MMP on NOV. 15

SPEED, the definitive network for motorsports and the automotive lifestyle, announced today it will shoot an episode of its popular television show, PINKS All Out, at Alabama’s Montgomery Motorsports Park (MMP) on Saturday, Nov. 15. The shoot will be the first dedicated to Season Three, which is slated to begin airing in the summer of 2009.

PINKS All Out enters a new season with a lot of momentum, as the show crested the 25,000 attendance mark three times during Season Two (Atlanta Dragway, Summit Motorsports Park in Norwalk, Ohio and Gateway International Raceway just outside St. Louis.) The Alabama episode will be the first of 10, which will resume shooting in 2009.

“The 2008 season has, in many respects, far surpassed our grandest expectations,” said Robert Ecker, SPEED VP of Programming and Executive Producer of PINKS All Out. “Bringing the show to tracks all around the country and experiencing the tremendous response from participants and spectators has been a true thrill. The sight of grandstands packed with 25,000 cheering fans all on their feet makes quite an impression. Heading into Season Three, we don’t take any of this for granted.”

The track is owned and promoted by the Howard family, George and Jim, and has established a strong connection to the local and regional racing community, which includes hosting the now famous ‘Million Dollar Drag Race,’ one of the most popular grassroots events in the Southeast. This will be the first PINKS All Out to be shot in the state of Alabama, as the original show, PINKS, was shot at Alabama International Dragway in October of 2007.

"We at Montgomery Motorsports Park are proud to have been chosen as a host track for PINKS All Out,” George Howard said. “Our racers and fans have been asking us about this event for quite awhile now. This will most definitely be the largest event ever at MMP. We are looking forward to hosting the largest drag racing event ever organized in Alabama."

For those who want to enter the event or receive spectator ticket information, log onto MMP’s website www.mmpdragracing.com for the latest. For the latest information on PINKS All Out, log onto www.SPEEDtv.com.

The balance of the Season Three schedule will be released in the near future.

ABOUT THE SHOW

PINKS All Out is hosted by Iowa native Rich Christensen, who is also the creator and executive producer. The show, produced by Pullin Television out of Los Angeles, invites local racers to run their cars “All Out,” during two time trial sessions, while the show’s technical advisors selects the closest grouping of elapsed times to make up the PINKS All Out 16. Any racer who tries to guess the elapsed time or ‘sandbag’ (running slower to fit within a certain elapsed time category in order to gain an advantage) will be disqualified from the competition.

PINKS All Out, called the “Woodstock of Drag Racing,” by Summit Motorsports Park President Bill Bader, Jr., is an entire day’s worth of on-track racing and off-track activities, culminating at dusk in the running of the final 16. As part of the midway, the SPEED Mobile Theatre will be on hand providing entertainment and autograph sessions, while on track fun includes a variety of professional and amateur drag racing equipment.

SPEED is the nation's first and foremost cable television network dedicated to motor sports and the passion for everything automotive. From racing to restoration, motorcycles to movies, SPEED delivers quality programming from the track to the garage. Now available in more than 78 million homes in North America, SPEED is among the fastest-growing sports cable networks in the country and, the home to NASCAR on SPEED and an industry leader in interactive TV, video on demand, mobile initiatives and broadband services.

made some changes to the cam position sensor converted it from a dual pickup setup to a single wheel setup 12 -1 setup.. Runs great now.. I learn more and more about this megasquirt stuff every day.. well gotta hook up the wideband sensor to it and get some simple tuning taken care of and hopefully i can afford a drive shaft next week.. Still gotta put the rest of the car back together " front end, dash, seats and stuff. Still waiting on my MSD wires to show up but the place i have ordered them from has been screwing me around.

i am hoping to get some z32 rims.. just depends on how much money i have at the time..
i am gonna borrow brents till i figure it out..

[cheappower82]

are you getting diy (cut to fit) wires? there's a bug in my ear telling me to get moroso ultra 40's (maybe that's kenny's mom saying "pick up some 40's while in ATL"). anyway, 40 ohms sounds good, supposedly killer resistance numbers compared to oem.

i forgot to tell you, i thought i heard a humpback whale when you were cranking on jz; it was just your ffim breathing fire out the throttlebody:headbang:

went to the shop on my lunch break and installed the driveshaft, tightened up the axle's, installed a fuel pressure gauge, and cleaned up some things.. i will make sure someone is driving the truck and trailer to the track behind me..

[TheWill]

OMG.... This is so awesome sam.

Drew you do know that SE was this weekend dont ya? we dident see ya there so i guessed you had other things going on..

here is a repost from the other topic
"awsome video.. the 2jz240 failed to tune out easily enought to make any kind of serious passes.. more than likely due to the bad plugs and wires but its taken a bit of a dive.. i was atempting to take a look at the AFRs with Brandons wideband and the turbo seized up.. not sure why but i will be taking it off tomorow or the next day.. Just my luck i guess.."

[Drew]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v212/fastredponycar/forums/nooo.jpg





Geez I'm such an idiot. I don't know why I thought it was this coming weekend... I think that way back before football season started I had somehow associated it with the Arkansas game weekend which sparked big debate with whitney becuase her parents were going to be in town and I would be MIA all weekend and it pissed her off but she got over it.

Our band worked our butts of this weekend though as we're headlining some big biker show in 2 weekends so I would have still had some serious schedule manipulation going on if I wanted to get down on the SE7.0 action.

:(

Oh well... there's always next year.

[roadracer4life]

well the turbo seems to be good after all.. a piece of metal broke loose from the inside of the exhaust manifold and wedged itself into the turbine wheel.. the turbo seems good after all..

That's good to hear on the turbo. Did you decide whether you are going to run a blow off valve or not?

you know of anyone that wants to sponsor me one "i am broke".... till then i will do without for a while..

I did cut and install my new ngk 8mm plug wires and maybe replace the shitty autolites that are in there at the moment..

You need a BOV? How much boost are you running? I have a GReddy Type-S on the shelf; it's a good valve unless you're running more than 20-25psi.

[roadracer4life]

yea if your giving it away i will gladly use it.

[roadracer4life]

got the exhaust done, hooked up the power steering, regaped the plugs, fixed the alternator, fixed the headlights.. the car is getting better every time i drive it i only got to tune on it for about 20 min tonight.. here are a few more pics of things.

[titec2]

Yep, it's been spotted around the east side of town on several occasions. It's even been spotted standing still at a certain undisclosed location.

[AlmosN8kd]

Wait, this frankencar is in Auburn? I thought it was in Montgomery. Or, am I just completely out to lunch?

Buuuump. Updates?

currently stuck without a good crank trigger setup.. and depending on how the rest of this junk goes i may be jumping the megasquirt ship in favor of a more rigid AEM tank..

Do you think you can say that louder, I didn't get that last part.:D

[cheappower82]

He said...........

[linuxman51]

I'm going to laugh if the aem does wierd shit. I hope it doesn't, but I'll laugh if it does. There, I said it.


that being said, the issues encountered are, sadly, typical these days with megasquirt... someone conceptualized something similar in function, applied it universally, and won't go back and look at it to fix things that don't work. Apparently this is one application where it simply does not work right for one reason or another. I think the newer board might deal with the crank VR trigger better, but it simply shouldn't have to come to that (well unless its like that fucked up nissan shit). A downfall to free tech support if you will, people don't tend to pay attention to the 'oddball' problems unless they're directly affected.
