DegreE's Build Thread [2JZ content inside] *Now with more tuna*

So now the car sits in Miami at my dad's house. Being in the military and stationed in New York, the military housing doesn't allow me to work on vehicles. So I had to the car in Florida. Its safer that way because to have a place in NY with a garage is way out of my housing budget. So I left my father in charge of doing the swap and fabricating. I'm calling all the shots in the build and buying all the parts needed. Pretty much all that is going to be done in Florida is all the dirty work. Rebuilding the engine and getting it in the car to a running state. Once the car is running. It will be shipped up to me in New York where the real fun will begin.

My own plans for the car after it's running:
  • MAP ECU 2 or 3
  • FFIM
  • GTE Valve covers
  • Injectors
  • Lexus V8 Air flow meter
  • R154 swap
  • Limited Slip Differential
  • Minor body work and paint



Now on to the build:

The block just came back from the machine shop getting the cylinder walls honed and the deck resurfaced. New rings and bearings are on order from Toyota.

I think its Permatex, thats the stuff I used for my 7mgte and it looks just the same.

Build looks great so far, keep it up and keep us posted!

I wouldn't see any problems with that oil return. I'm a huge fan of using tubing like that as opposed to braided hose that can kink.

Great build, lots of research in this from the looks of it.

To my knowledge, it's just extending the ISC/TPS plugs and unlooming the coolant temp plugs to reach the 2JZ's location on the intake side.

its really easy. anyone with basic wiring knowledge can do this. i did it when i was 17 lol just extend what doesnt reach. and connect 2jz tps to 7m harness. the diagram for the tps wiring is on supramania. just do a search.

lookin good DegreE

and connect 2jz tps to 7m harness.
Or he could just use a 7M-GE TPS and not rewire anything. Whichever he feels like doing will work. I'd imagine he'd rather use the 2JZ TPS since he's already extending the wires instead of aligning the 7M-GE TPS on top of extending them.

Cutting the support is a must.
My dad's support from his Supra. He cut out the area for the intercooler to fit and reinforced it with sheet metal....
I really like this. I'll be using these pictures as a guide when I cut/weld my own support. Thanks.
