Default my Toyota 350Z build :)

HUGE UPDATE ON COMMENT #392, I AM NO LONG AFFILIATED WITH SHIFTED PERFORMANCE AND URGE YOU TO WATCH YOURSELF IF YOU HAVE, OR ARE DOING BUSINESS WITH THEM...

HERE IS MY EXPERIANCE WITH SHIFTED PERFORMANCE THREAD LINK!!!
https://my350z.com/forum/engine-and-...ml#post9690587

Hey guys! so here it is, i finally started my 2JZ swap in my 06 350z!

Im taking my current APS single turbo (GTM upgrade kit) VQ out and going a little bit of a different route then i have been seeing everyone else do....for many different reasons...but mainly because you just dont see it and i want to be unique...

I was origionally going to do this swap myself but after further research in the Tech 2 kits, i wasn’t very impressed...sooooo i was contacted by a company in New Jersey that specializes in this type of swap and they deff caught my eye! after i went down and checked out the shop, met with the owner and went over my plans for my build, Tony at Shifted Performance gave me a deal that i couldn’t beat. (for those interested in the shop or maybe getting more info, you can shoot me a PM or just add them on Facebook)

so a year later once i was ready for the build, i took my Z down to Tony and handed him the money needed to start the build and thats where we are today, 1 week in and i already have a motor, trans, bellhousing, turbo,wastgate, BOV, all new gaskets, pullys, belts, head studs, clips for the wiring harness, fittings, paint, sent parts off to be chromed, and have started pulling all my current setup out (im sure im missing some stuff as well but ill catch it further on in this thread as the build goes on)

Link to my first build thread:
https://my350z.com/forum/north-west/...tle-build.html

First, some pics of the car as of now:



BUT, i guess this thread is no good without pics...sooo here are what i have so far:


















And today (11/2/11) we started pulling the motor out, just don’t have any pics of that yet...soon as i have them, they will be posted as well!

Im going to try and at least update this once a day with ANY progress...with the way Tony works, there is something new everyday!

Quite an oil burner you have there. Good luck with your swap.

This is the video I watched... Now that I watch it again, i noticed you don't have a CF hood.. so nvm, but if you had a CF hood.. you guys' cars would look identical.

Damn thats awesome, prolly more rare than a LS swap.
Did you buy the motor locally or from a JDM vendor. And if you don't mind me asking which JDM vendor....?

Tony at Shifted has a vendor he sources his motors from...its nice because he gets to hand pick what motor he wants and does a compression check on the spot...
