thought about it, but i decided against it. heat+ ease of accesability, my car is a WANGAN car

waiting to find an intake pipe to mount the stock jza80 airbox and TRD panel filter (need to stop eating hot air and cut noise)

installed Greddy SLD and Apexi AFC-NEO, then went on a break in tune/wangan loop. not bad, boost cruised to 130 or so and got it within reasonably proper afr's, its idle was waay rich with 550cc injectors and mid-part throttle at 3-4k was running lean due to the 4" dp Y and catless downpipe - added fuel there, took out fuel on WOT map to hang around 12-12.5 AFR's on WOT.

i really need a power FC. apexi, why dont u make them again!@!!

Nice clean swap, your SC also looks clean as well, definitely some inspiration for me.

Man, I miss having a garage.

Rebuild is looking great!

I'm not sure if i missed it. What motor mounts are you running?

im using the MK4 supra early 93-95.5 motor mounts and brackets. they are hydrolic filled (metal encapsuated), there is a TRD option avail that is solid as well.

all 2jz-ge equipped Sc300 has oem lexus brackets that are compatible with 96-98 mk4 motor mounts. those are all solid and metal encapsulated- cheaper and shorter (less rubber than the early) - basically less part to change and trd level performance- the assumed trd mount rubber durometer change (if its differnt) would matter less due to shorter mount overall size.

I used the mk4 early setup because it was on my JDM tt motor and was in nice shape. otherwise i would have ordered late model mk4 brackets

car is back on the road and healthy- I did some major services in the last few days-

Driveshaft center bearing- if anyone is wondering: same part number as MK4 NA 5mt supra jza80 - i just ordered for a 95 NA supra 5mt from toyota ($140 ish) , you also need 2 small washers to seat it - they are ~$2 each

when you do a motor rebuild, change the oil pump no matter what- if you have the motor on the stand, change the pump. its ~ $190, and will save you crazy headaches in the long run. I originally took the risk of running the JDM 38k mile oil pump.......Fail for me.

After spending alot of time reading on supraforums, I saw tons of FMS failure threads and related oil issues logged on the boards - my oil pump was functioning but weeping out of the relief valve - i tried changing the o ring, but no avail- the pump weeps when its going bad...

oil pump is a motor on engine stand job. This meant pulling my motor/trans i had just installed and driven 670 break in miles out and back on the stand. Dammit. no clean way around this, I talked to a few techs@ toyota- oil pan (upper and lower) must both come off, be cleaned and then re FIPG'ed and installed - post oil pump change.

so:

pull complete front of engine bay
pull exhaust
pull DS
pull tranny X member
drain trans
unbolt motormounts
remove my quick attach harness from engine and put on side

mark middle of driveshaft, split front and rear, 24mm nut and gear puller to remove bearing, then re-install and tighten/stake the nut to finish.

pull trans off motor, motor on stand, ancilleries off.
oil pans off, the techs clean the fipg off with rotating tool+ brillo pad or rubber supersized dentist cleaning tool attachment.

pull oil pump, change o-rings on block face and install new oil pump.
install o rings in oil pan assembly, new fipg and back it goes.

let chillax before you fill it so it can take a nap to set (and you can sleep).


Fast forward 20 hours of garage time later....



trophy picture (again) - but notice brand new oil pump (barely visable) hahahahaha




now back on the road. yay.

Great work! Looks fantastic.

Was there a particular reason you decided to go with a 2JZ-GTE instead of a 1JZ-GTE to perform your swap?
