Back in the Z game - 2JZ 350Z
6 Attachment(s)
Some of you may remember my HKS Supercharged 350Z
Attachment 399080 Which I sold to buy a R34 GTR Attachment 399081 Which I then sold to buy a house & a Supra Attachment 399082 Then I blew the supra motor & its been sat around since June having a forged engine built. A few weeks ago I broke up with my GF & my brother decided to sell his 350Z. I managed to get a good deal off him so I'm now the owner of another Z Attachment 399083 I stripped the Supra of all the un-needed bits & sold the shell. The Z will be going into my mates garage soon to have the VQ removed & a forged 2JZ fitted :icon38: The 2JZ is currently at my engine builder where it will have the following spec Eagle Rods Wiseco Pistons Titan Oil Pump OEM water pump ARP bolts ACL bearings New OEM gaskets Titan cam gears BC Cams BC valves BC retainers Borg Warner S366 turbo SRD intake manifold PHR pulleys We are still working out the details of the fuel system. Attachment 399084 Attachment 399085 Target is 700hp hopefully with a similar torque figure I've also got a Syvecs S6 ECU left over from the Supra that will be used and a few other nice parts that we can transfer over. Hoping to have the car done by April depending on how much money I can afford to spare. :icon38::icon38: |
congrats on the new girlfriend

Bye bye underpowered VQ :D
Attachment 396997 Engine mount kit and new wiring harness were ordered last week and should be here in about 3 weeks, conversion kit to use the 350Z gearbox was ordered last week also. Hoping to have the engine in and running by the end of January and then just need to sort out the race tech dash, roll cage and suspension :D |
Looking forward to seeing this build

As much as I love my Z I've always had a major infatuation with the Supra; just curious why you decided to move to the 350z platform with the 2JZ...
|
why? Because I can :icon38:
This my 4th 350z, I've got to the point now where I know them pretty much inside out. I really wish I never sold the original Z I had tbh. I never got on with the Supra - infact I hated it! Once the engine let go in it I lost all hope with the car. I had a high mileage 350Z & a broken 2JZ seemed like the logical thing to do :icon18: |
gratz on the new goodies
|
Lol, good for you :thumbup:
What sucked about the Supra? I know some people complain it handles like a tank, or was it the general feel of it?

350Z-2JZ subframe, engine mounts and brackets turned up
Attachment 396049 went to offer it up to the car and we all realised we had overlooked something - its for a LHD car :icon14: so rather than mess about with moving the mounting points around we just did this to the existing subframe Attachment 396050 its off to get powdercoated blue tomorrow :D Had a few deliveries today :icon38: Koyo 54mm radiator Attachment 396051 Cusco Street Zero Coilovers, Front & Rear ARBs Attachment 396052 Defi control unit, Boost, Oil pressure & Oil temp gauges Attachment 396053 GReddy clear 2JZ engine cover Attachment 396054 Race tech dash should be here next week. Need to order new suspension arms, Brides & a BBK in the next few days also. |

Hopefully should have the engine back in the next 2 weeks. All we need now is the engine harness & a fuel pump - still debating on whether I should go for a single intank high flow pump or a couple of external pumps like a Bosch 044 :dunno:
A couple of more parts have turned up for the build in the last few weeks GT Spec braces Attachment 394875 Attachment 394876 Chase bays 2JZ-350Z power steering tank Attachment 394877 Race technology Dash 2 Attachment 394878 2JZ to 350Z gearbox conversion kit (Clutch has yet to arrive though :icon22:) Attachment 394879 Attachment 394880 Attachment 394881 More Cusco goodies Attachment 394882 Also bought my Bride Euro II seats back from a friend Attachment 394883 Agency Power exhaust Attachment 394884 And I also bought a set of Akebonos with Stoptech disks and Project Mu pads :icon38: We are a little bit worried about temps so have wrapped the turbo side in gold heat wrap https://i665.photobucket.com/albums/...ps2a9b180f.jpg |
