Back about 18 months ago I bought a Supra TT and spent a bit of time modifying it (Hybrid turbos, cams, syvecs ECU) which made nowhere near the power it should have done on the dyno.

After a compression test, we found that cylinder 4 was much lower than the other 5 so took the decision to rebuild the engine using forged internals.

About a month after this, I broke up with my GF and in a moment of madness decided to buy my old 350Z back from brother so that he could buy a house.

I never really got on with the Supra so decided to cut my loses with that & convert my new 350Z to a 2JZ.

The 2 donor cars



Removal of the underpowered VQ motor



Forged pistons



Titan Motorsport Oil Pump

 

Sick bud can't wait for more!!!!! GL this is my fav swap aside from a RB26 for a Z.

 

Received the new front subframe, motor mounts and brackets



unfortunately the subframe is for a LHD car & mine is a RHD car so we removed my subframe



and modified it a little



We are a little concerned about under bonnet temps so have applied some heat wrap in a bid to reduce temps



We are using the 350Z gearbox with the 2JZ engine so bought an adaptor plate & billet flywheel







Chase bays 350Z 2JZ power steering tank



Race tech Dash 2



Front suspension & 370Z brakes fitted







Exhaust and rear suspension fitted



2JZ 350Z engine harness



Engine is due back from machine shop any day now so can start to be assembled

 

Subbed

 

in.

good luck! one day ill try this

 

Subbed, I want to do this as well but where did you find the trans adapter from?

 

http://bit.ly/1y5yQfq

LITERALLY FIRST PAGE

 

Adaptor plate is from http://collinsadapters.com/index.php...eel-combo.html

 

Good stuff, I was hoping it was a Collins adapter. How's it line up? Saw on a other thread that it was an inch or so

 

Dunno yet, its not been fitted up. Hopefully have the engine and flywheel back in the next 7-10 days so will find out then

 

Damn I love these type of builds!

good luck!

 

There have been so many 2JZ dreamer threads lately. Glad to see someone actually do it (...and properly at that).

 

Any updates???

 

Engine is pretty much done & should be back at the end of this week

Popped up last night and took a few pics now that the suspension is settled. The front will drop a bit more once theres an engine in there











Hopefully next week should see some real progress being made

 

Looks like fun. GL with the build.

 

Good luck man, can't wait to see some more progress pics

 

As usual with the Zupra. Its one step forward two (hundred) steps back



I bought some new injectors as the 800cc ones I have wont be big enough



The engine is back & ready to be assembled



Nicely done head






The block has even been test fitted (This will be painted black once ready to go it!)









As you can see though, the engine sits a bit further forward due to our use of the 350Z box over a Supra box which in turn means it doesn't line up with our motor mounts - Lesson learnt here is that my mate should always listen to me on gear box choices :P (I wanted to use the Supra box from the start, he wanted to use the Z box) And it also means that the radiator doesn't fit!









So we now need to move the gearbox back a little bit and make some custom mounts for it. Will also mean having a custom prop shaft - should hopefully have this done by end of next week ()







i also made the mistake of adding up the cost of the project the other day

 

Keep up the good work homie

 

i wonder how the Z and upra emblem combined would look

or if theres a way to get the Z in the supra font

[well...theres my sad input for the build]

ps- cant wait for the final product! best of luck!

 

looking good! In for the finished product
