S.A. supras metro (gay) blue 87 2jz build

[S.A. supra]

This Is a Craigslist find I picked it up for $800 with no engine, wire harness, or ecu. I initially tried to get someone to buy it but no one wanted to. So I bought it even though I already had two at home(sisters). I really need to stay off cl! I have owned four supras in the last six years, and I'm hoping this will be my last. Time to do it right!

My last car was a 89 with a 1j. The engine craped out on my so I was left with a car with no engine and a great interior. So since I like the way the metro blue 87 looked on the outside but not the blue interior with the checkered seats. I decided to get the best of both worlds, and put the grey interior in my gay blue car. The colors go well together, I don't know why Toyota didn't do it. I guess the had a lot of ugly blue material to get rid of.

I plan on building the car up to 600hp in two steps. First is getting the engine in and running then stage two will be cams, fuel system, and stand alone. I also have a lot of parts that I need for my build from my 1j. That should make things easier for me.

Nope, I just don't have any pics of the grey interior. I'll get some this weekend, I'm gonna pull it out of the garage put those wheels on and take pics of the interior.

Looks like a nice engine from the outside. Hopefully the inside is just as clean. Cant wait to see more.

You stay with the twins or going single?

Yeah, the first thing I'm gonna do when I get it is pull off the valve covers and see what I'm working with.

Going single. I have a 67mm dm turbo from my 1j.

Pulled it out today and slapped the rims on, and took some pics of the interior. Rims look nice. After I get the right size tires and drop it a little is should look really nice. Here are pics.

 

[Suprapowaz!(2)]

Looks good. That interior color looks good with the ghey blue. I'll be following this build thread.

 

[satx88supra]

Thanks, you need a thread.

Thanks, they will have to do for now. Better then the saw blades that's for sure.

 

[D-berg]

damn dude the grey and blue look really good together!

 

[S.A. supra]

Thanks, yeah I don't know why they put all that blue in there from the factory. I was unsure if the grey would go, but it turned out looking better than I thought it would.

 

[whitehat89]

Diggin the build man! If you need a hand, let me know, thread subscribed I need to make a thread soon

 

[S.A. supra]

Yeah, thanks. The only thing is I live in buda just outside of Austin. Its a long drive.

 

[digihonk82]

what kind of engine management with 2jz?

 

[S.A. supra]

I'm looking at aem v2. But that's gonna be down the road a bit.

I finally got my tracking number for the engine. It should be here next week. I'm in the process of installing my new brake and clutch master cylinders. Also the non abs brake lines. I should have some pics up later of the engine bay cleaned up. I just got a quote for bellhousing, flywheel, gaskets set , oil pump, and water pump from champion Toyota on supra forums. They came in $200 cheaper then driftmotion. I'll put that money toward the act xtreme 6 puck clutch kit. I'm still not sure where in gonna get that from. I still have to check prices for that. I'll pass on where and what I paid for parts. I'm a cheap ass and will be looking for the bets deal.

 

[S.A. supra]

I got the engine the other day looks good. Time to start wiring. For the guys that have gone 2j, did you do your own wiring? And if so what sources did you use?

 

[slowmedown]

hey another gay blue JZ swap! good luck man

 

[S.A. supra]

hey another gay blue JZ swap! good luck man

Thanks man, are you going 2j?

UPDATE

Haven't done much, cleaned up the engine bay. Painted the brake booster and installed non abs lines, new clutch cylinder, and brake master cylinder. right now I am in the process of wiring up my aristo harness to my supra. I turned my daughters room into my harness work shop. Tomorrow i will be ordering my oil pump, water pump, flywheel, bell housing and gasket set from champion Toyota. I also bought a hand held media blaster from harbor freight. i will be cleaning the parts i pull off the engine as i swap in gaskets all around. Here are some pics of my progress

Some of my harness mess.

Oh yeah I did this a while back wanted more sound then just the 4 speakers that they had on the 87 model.
