1.5J of course!

[zebra]

I dunno tbh.

2JZ is a drop in and go and has bigger valves etc

1.5JZ means building shit/modifying the head/block etc and I'm lazy these days

2JZ-GTE with new rings and bearings seems like the go to me

[r33_racer]

Thats a nice nugget of a turbo. They journal bearing??

[zebra]

Yeah Journal bearing, Nothing fancy here

Turbos and manifolds finally off...I really feel sorry for Toyota mechanics

Lots of oil/grime on the bell housing and the back half of the block, might be leaking a little from the cam covers, the bolts were a little loose so nipped them up and I'll keep an eye on it.

Also have to figure out how to get the factory oil drain off...cant get a socket in there nor can I can a spanner in there....

I was expecting 2 drain holes in the block ala RB26...but its a steel Y piece...So I may block the rear one and use it as a crank case breather/oil return from a catch tank and use the forward drain for the new turbo...Should work well I think.

There are also the matter of the rear turbo water feed sticking out near where the new dump pipe will go, So I'll loop it into the front turbo water feed, which will be a neater solution to sticking a couple of bolts in cut off hoses...looks shit and tends to leak after a while.

Anyway a few photos of progress...Was delayed a little as a had to rescue one of my cats of the neighbors roof lol.

I'm quite happy with how it went today, only took 30-40mins to get the rear turbo off (just needed a couple of nuts removed though as most of it was done Monday)

parts all interchangeable? like manifolds and turbos? and stuff?

loom?

[zebra]

Manifolds no, loom is similar...bit like rb25 into R32 there are a few things that need to be changed

oh well, for such a big car, the soarer's engine bay, is bloody f**ken cramped.

[zebra]

I was amazed at how big the bay is....just taken up by lots of shit lol

[Craved]

youve got heaps of room, try putting that motor in a sprinter lol and keeping the twins

[zebra]

mmmmnah I'll be right...Have seen a 1UZ-FE in a sprinter though

[xALmoN]

mmmmnah I'll be right...Have seen a 1UZ-FE in a sprinter though

i would like to see that.

[Craved]

fits alright, less room than it looks lol

love the 1uz swaps - its one of my projects down the line lol

i would like to see that.

Chris you have more room in the bay either side than the Soarer does!!!

The front rails sit so high in the Soarers that where the engine sits is half as wide as the bay!

How are you going to fit dump pipes with the turbos like that? Are they adapters?

Did it take you long to get the intake vacuum lines all back on? there are about 9000 of them!

[zebra]

Well, some good news. Due to me having what looks like a 2 1/4" mid pipe I was going to try and make one...BUUUUUTTTT aftermarket ones for JZA80s are exactly the same

Also had a go at starting the dump pipe (the back half of it) by cutting up an old one I had here off the skyline...but it was all rusty and I ran out of grinding disks...so i decided to weld it up anyway....WHAT A MESS!!!! I wont make excuses. it wasnt cut straight enough and I got a bit carried away...really need a drop saw, as trying to cut angles with a 4" grinder just doesnt work!!!!

[TiTAN]

use one of these on a drill not a grinder to clean the surface up.

[Craved]

the car was running and driving with that twin setup, but going back to a small single aka rb25 turbo to simplify things.

[zebra]

So, just went and bought some new welding rods 2mm this time...some grinding disks and a new o-ring for the water neck which I broke...and a bucket load of degreaser
