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

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)

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!

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 :D

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!!!! >_<

    • Is the RB26 actually that far off the mark? Honestly from where I'm sitting a VR38DETT is not actually that much more advanced than the RB26. Yes, there is a scavenge pump on the VR38, it's smarter in a number of ways but it's not actually jumping out to me as alien technology. Something like a B58 or V35A-FTS on the other hand has so many surprising little design features that add up to be something that just isn't comparable.

    • Chris won't reply. He doesn't visit the forum much anymore. You can try these guys https://www.facebook.com/autotainment/ They did mine many years ago
    • That's my local track! A lot of fast/record holders come out of it presumably due to our cold air in spring and fall. 
    • Well I had 2 choices from then on. I either had to (reluctantly) move it on to another potential buyer and take the loss on the chin. Or I stick with it and turn it into a restoration project. I chose the latter. Project Snowstorm began! The frp body kit was the first thing to go. Turns out the original colour used to be silver. The Neo and gearbox were removed, along with the prop and exhaust system before it took a trip to the bodyshop, where I wouldn’t see it again for quite some time due to the pandemic hitting very soon after they took it away. Eventually, progress began and damage assessments made. Even the front chassis leg was in pretty bad shape!     Then the chopping commenced. For these guys it was just usual routine, to me it looked absolutely terrifying!   More to follow as I’m struggling to focus on my screen at 12:45 am!!!
