MrOizo's JZA70 - 2JZGTE and V160!!

[MrOizo]

Got the call from my builder today! Very exciting! Looks the business too!

Could be very busy tomorrow fitting everything now. Maybe if i get my package from the US soon, i'll be able to start this up this month! (Just kidding :lol: :lol: )

Rep NZ! Way to go on this build, looks the business! I have seen your car around from time to time. Didn't realise the extent of the work you've done though! I'm just about to ditch my 1JZ in my JZA70 and go to 2JZ. It would be good if I can get in touch with you to ask a few questions. Is there anyway of getting around the turbo's fouling on the brake & clutch master? Solid mounts maybe and take a small bit of meat off for more room?

Anyway good to see your on here and keeping us updated! Cheers

 

[MrOizo]

Hey thanks for the support! Updates are slowing down as things get serious and hard

Dont mind at all with any questions. I think the turbo's fouling on the master cylinders is unavoidable but could be wrong. It's been a while (18 months) since i had the turbos in there.

Feel free to email me: adrian-at-mroizo.co.nz

A little update...

Got a Bosch water temp sensor in the stock ECU sensor location, and also the Defi water sensor in the stock JZA80 gauge location.

Got my seats in:

Ordered my ECU:

Things are finally working out!

 

[1jz-Rolla]

Got my seats in:

Holy sheet dude, are you in my head?

 

[MrOizo]

Good stuff!
I see you have Bride rails? Would have been much easier if i used them!
I made some square rod threaded to suit the 2 bolt holes at the front of the seat.

This is from another forums i am a member on:

I am at the stage of fitting the Evo 7 Recaros in my car.
I was under the assumption that if your car had Recaro's factory fitted then it was all gravy to fit Recaro's from another car using your car's original rails - and i was wrong!

The ones i have, have been slightly modified and made to suit bride rails. Not a major problem as the privisions for the JZA70 rail bolt spacings are there, just have no thread.

In this picture, the seat is in the bottom, and the JZA70 rails are on the top.
The rear mounting point is all good but its the two front ones that are making my head hurt.

I have thought about putting in some steel plate behind the seat's rail and having two tapped, correctly spaced holes in there to mount the JZA70 rails to it (The two front bolts).

Very basic pic showing what i mean, looking front on:

Any other ways that i should go about this? Is there something that i could use? Dont really want to use nuts with washers.

 

[MrOizo]

Well i guess its time to update before we go into 2012!

Have loom made up - nice and simple now which is nice! Should have got pics before it went in.... oops!

Fitted the Bosch 044 pump to the stock hanger. I wish i had of done this at the start. Plan was to go with stock pump as a lift pump and then have a surge tank under the trunk floor and have the 044 there.

Will need to visit the hose shop soon to sort this all out! Exciting

 

[MrOizo]

Little update.

Managed to sort mounting the pump with the right lines, and also sorting a bulkhead (90'deg).

Didnt know the Speedflow Pushlock series was so expensive!

have the pump sitting a little higher to take the kink out of the line. Test fits to be chur to the choice!

 

[MrOizo]

I will be blanking off the stock feed and using the factory return. That will work better with the swirl pot in the tank!

 

[MrOizo]

Drilled the thread out of this fitting and polished the inside and made sure there were no foreign bits and nothing looked like it would come loose.
Also drilled holes in the lower half of the fitting to make sure that if the pump bottomed out on the floor of the tank then it wouldnt get blocked!

I didnt want to have the fuel go from the Bosch 044 into a shitty arseeed stock line so had a -6AN 90deg fitting on the top.

After hours (even months on and off) sussing out how it it would go, i managed to come up with this setup here....
Pass the hose through the hanger. There is plenty of structure from the hanger still there so no worries.

I have even utilised the stock return as i am sure this aid's in keeping fuel in the internal baffle for the pick up.

Test fit of the new Pushlock! (Not baaaaaddd!)

Finished design all hose clamped up and ready to install!

Pointless photo of FPR!

 

[MrOizo]

Forgot to get a pic of the top of the tank. Lucky i didn't remember ifbi tightened the fittings on the hanger.
Rerouted the breather too which i like better.

Also shut off the stick feed as that's no longer needed.

 

[MrOizo]

Modified the Power Steering resevior as with the blow-off valve on the side of the throttle body it would foul on the resevior (its wrapped up because it is so pretty and i dont want to scratch anything )

I had ideas of mounting other reseviors but just didnt look right - maybe its because i was used to seeing the one from factory there?

Anyways, I used two reseviours:
I cut the legs off one for the tank itself, and
I cut the tank off one for the legs.
Had a look to see what worked best. The feed to the pump lines up almost in the same plane but i will need to allow for some movement of the engine and have a 'U' shape in the hose.

Had it welded up by my local exhaust guy - easy as!


After welding and painting!

How it now sits in the engine bay... Much better!
(The hole on the bracket was pretty much the centre of the tank before cutting)

Nice work. Lost track of this thread sorry so never replied about the Recaro seats. I don't have the Bride rails, just adapted the factory Evo sliding rails to the original JZA70 floor mounting brackets (via 5mm plates running the length of the seat, and some welding).

Cheers

[MrOizo]

Sounds like it worked out well then!

Managed to get the car started thanks to a few friends.

Enjoy!

 

[MrOizo]

Drilled, tapped and mounted plate with injector resistors.

 

[MrOizo]

Still trying to source a 3-3.5" exhaust.

There are some good prices for you guys in the US but shipping to New Zealand is a killer!

 

[MrOizo]

Finally getting my shit together. (not so) Overnight from JAPAHN!

Exhaust for *A70. Woooo wooooooooop!

 

[k20maniac]

nice build so far!, what exhaust did you go with?

Thanks! I'm going with the HKS Hi Power. I was going to go something like a custom 4" but finding the mufflers and the cost of getting done was almost double what this cost. Its 3.7" diameter so that's big enough. Well should be!
