+1 and how many shims/clearance did you need when all said and done? I'm considering this same twin disk for my 2JZ/R-154 and would like a good starting point on shimming.

All VVTi 1JZ's with a R-154 come with the shifter extension for the Soarers/Chasers/Crestas/MarkII's.

What shop keeps screwing up your engine?

No, they are different water pumps where the hydrofan uses hydraulic fluid to rotate a remote fan and the mechanical water pump uses the clutch-fan combo. The are run off the serpentine belt on the water pump. Only Aristo 2JZ's , JZA70 1JZ's, and non-VVTi Chaser 1JZ's have the hydrofan. All...

The only pulleys with different diameters are the hydrofan and mechanical water pump pulleys. They also differ between spline and four stud mounting.

It should handle your power goals just fine depending on your tune. Factory VVTi pistons have higher compression but the rods and crank are the same. Incorrect. The block is radically different from cooling jackets to the oil galley used for the VVTi OCV.

You will want more clearance. I believe I had at least a half inch (12.7mm) with my dual core Mishimoto pictured below on my 2JZ which exploded after my clutch failed by locking up completely.

Only late non-turbo VVTi rods are thinner. All GTE rods are the same regardless of VVTi.

The TT fan sits way closer to the radiator than the NA fan due to the depth/offset of the fan mounting tabs. TT/NA clutches are the same part number. You do not have a TT fan in that picture otherwise you would not have any room for the shroud and TT's don't sit anywhere near that close to the...

I'm late to the party but surprised no one even spoke of the chemistry of soldering. Crimps are more effective long term than solder. Flux is very important and the comment about good solder not needing flux is because the "good" solder already has flux. Ever heard of a meniscus test? It's where...

If you're planning on spending/trading around $3600, you might as well swap in a JDM 2JZ.

Yes, most of the 2JZ's are out of Aristo's now-a-days which have a hydrofan and electronic brake booster (steal the barb from your 7M manifold). Throw in a USDM 2JZ water pump, Driftmotion pulley kit, add either a 7M/LS400 or 2JZ/2JZ fan/clutch combo, and swap to a rear sump oil pan to call it a...

I myself as well as two other local buddies purchased our 2JZ's from JDMsource.ca in Canada without issues. Having an engine shipped for $200-250 is nothing compared to the total cost of a 2JZ swap.

I do in fact work at Micro Motion and own the white one. You can find me on the second floor engineering department by Longs Peak. I heard there was another MKIII owner at MMI from a few people but have never seen your car at work. There were 5 of us total. I'm friends with the other 3 that...

Was that black GTE on the end yours? I overheard a random person see the 7M-GE timing cover and respond "Oh, it's non-turbo" which made me laugh.

I doubt it's the coils as he would be sputtering in boost and not under 1/4 throttle. My question for you is are you running stock fuel (minus the pump and 12v mod) and if so did you keep the pulsation dampener?

The clutch is not the problem. The reason I went with the NA fan is because it sits closer to the engine than a GTE and I can shim it forward. There just isn't enough space for the thickness of the fan and fan shroud to sit between the water neck and radiator. That's why I had to cut the back...

On a 2JZ swap: I confirmed over the weekend that with a Mishimoto radiator, both a LS400/7M combo and a 2JZ clutch with shimmed/spaced GE fan fit but there is no room for a shroud. Both tests were confirmed with the older 3-row and newer 2-row Mishimotos. My current setup is a 2JZ clutch...

There are two versions of the HX-35. The pre-2002.5 8-blade compressor that is an undivided T3 and puts out 52lbs-min and the post-2002.5 7-blade that is a divided T3 that puts out 60lbs-min. Also, whoever says they don't like the spool must not love awesome quick/violent spool. That was my...
