Just Another Lame 2J Swap

[IBoughtASupra]

No no, the Phillips head screws for the valve covers. Replace those with 10mm bolts. Will save the headache if one should strip.

Very nicely done so far. I am liking this build

Thanks man.

Mine came with 10mm bolts, that's why I wasn't sure what you were talking about.

 

[Devin LeBlanc]

Bolt size is 6x1.0, 10mm head.

Build looks good.

 

[IBoughtASupra]

O, that's good. PM me of you need those part number for the oil cooler.

 

[Mr Bojangles]

LOVE IT.

Let me know how the intake manifold fits in the MKIII because I was going to grab the same one

I had to have a new aluminum plate made for the intake because the one that comes with it is a cheap piece of shit and had gigantic fucking gaps in it. I measured it and it was more than 50 thousandths off from one spot to another so I would say don't even try to use it! I will put a write up together of how to put it together because you get no instructions and it's a huge jigsaw puzzle. I saw a write up on club lexus and it's wrong.

 

[Mr Bojangles]

Also added a short update.

Andy can you please post up the oil cooler gasket part numbers here? Thanks!!

Great build Can't wait for more updates.

So for a 2JZGTE swap you just need a JZ bell housing and the R154 trans bolts up to it?

 

[Mr Bojangles]

and a 1J flywheel.


My favorite saying to hear when building a car is "all I have to do is....."

There's always more to it

 

[Doat]

Lol trust me I know that all too well I go into it being told I just need this and that but knowing I will need a backup car to run to the parts store for other parts.

 

[Mr Bojangles]

A couple of updates, still making progress and spending too much money.

 

[Mr Bojangles]

I'm adding my precision 6266 billet ball bearing turbo to my for sale thread.

 

[IBoughtASupra]

LOL! You want that 6466 dont you?

 

[Mr Bojangles]

Haha I did want it in a bad way!! But after seeing the dyno numbers on the car SP did it made 900 with pretty much the same curve as the 6266 did but it made 800.

I'm not looking for anything more than 700 this year so I'll hold on to my 6266 for now.

 

[IBoughtASupra]

Very smart choice, although, ball bearing is nice.

 

[Mr Bojangles]

My 6266 is ball bearing

 

[IBoughtASupra]

I was talking about the 6466. It ONLY comes in ball bearing.

 

[Mr Bojangles]

Made a little more progress and doing some test fitting, but I did get that thing in the car finally!!

Still so much to do.

 

[IBoughtASupra]

Why in the world is than fan so close to the support!? Is it just the picture?

 

[Mr Bojangles]

I think its just the picture
