Looking for 1jz bellhousing dimensions

[nathaninwa]

Like alot of you guys, Im doing a 2jz swap into my car. For my swap I need to weld in the pull style clutch fork to run the clutch setup Im looking at. Can anyone with a 1jz/r154 bellhousing off the car measure from the engine mating surface to the 2 bolt locations where the clutch fork pivots at?

Thanks.

Had a friend come over today with a 1j in his Bimmer, and was able to get a really good eyeball, and looks to be 5.5 to 5.625 inches. Just about perfect for the swap.

Good to hear you got it figured out.

What sort of setup are you looking at running in your car (clutch wise) if you don't mind my asking?

Sorry for the delay in responding. Today I did some tweekin and got it all just about dialed in. I should start an intro thread, but I have a Volvo 940 that I worked over a 16 valve motor that made 568/481, modified T56 tranny and an 8.8 rearend. The motor lost a cylinder sleeve on the Dyno and I lost it big time. So Im doing a 2jz swap! Before the engine heads to the machine shop, Im adapter my T56 onto the 2j and wanted to rid it of the internal slave (as I had problems with it in the last setup). So I adapted the T56 with the auto bellhousing and fixured it all up with the pull style stock 1j clutch setup. I was able to mount the fork pivot to the adapter plate, but cannot run the stock slave. So a hole in the oilpan/bell area was cut today so I can use a pull style slave from Wilwood. A slight lower pan mod will need to be done to make room, but the hard part is over and I got it all mocked up today.

All the pics are just mock up stuff, the adapter will be 1/2 inch 6061 soon.

And Ill be running Competition Clutch stage 4, 6 puck with there 14lb 1j flywheel.

Wow, cool stuff! The pictures are very much appreciated, as you never know when someone else might be trying a similar idea and can find this useful

...in a Volvo.

Had me sold at this point man. Tell me it is the wagon? Please?

 

[nathaninwa]

HAHA, its a sedan! Its a total sleeper. Only give away are the 4 wheel Wilwood disc brakes. With a T4 6262 the car made 476whp at 20psi and the one time we made it to 27psi we made 568whp on gasoline/water-meth

And I just got the engine/tranny combo in.

Those numbers are absolutely more impressive since you were using...I'm assuming the B230? DOHC head swap? I'm not up to date with my Volvo info

 

[nathaninwa]

Yes, Volvo redblock B230ft with the B234f 16v head swapped on. I pioneered alot of the things on the motor and most everything was a one off. It had a stroked forged crank for 2.5L, h beam rods and forged pistons. 2mm over valves, behive and titanium retainers, 272 cams, my own header and intake with a divided 6262 all through a T56 and Ford 8.8. I was able to fab on a DSM cas sensor and was running a complete 1g ecu and harness that I got from a 91 Eclpise. I then tuned it with ECMLink as a complete stand alone.

I had verted engine from the standard 20* tilt, had a crank scraper, custom alum pan with a crazy oil feed system right off the pump, out the pan to the oil filter/thermstat/cooler area. Car was really fun to drive and made enough tq at 2400rpm that I could cruise in 6th at 75mph and get just over 30mpg!

Nathan, that car (despite it's lack of wagon-ness) is badass. Should start up a build thread in the Other Cars section in Off Topic!
