M45 with a nice Swap;)

[dagoodlife]

Hello everyone, new to the forums. Got an M45 that engine went bad in so i scored it for pretty cheap. Decided why put Stock engine back in, so did a little looking around and this is the masterpice that came out. hope you'll enjoy...

Get ready for the questions:
1) What transmission (if you went V160 congrats as that is probably the only manual that'll take the weight/power)
2) If auto, what torque converter
3) What rear end
4) What engine management
5) What turbos (and why the hell didn't you go single)
6) which intercooler
7) Where did you pick it up (looking for one for another project)
8) What are you doing with the old motor (I'd like some parts off it)


Congrats again and looking forward to updates.

1) A340e
2) its auto, nd the stock one that comes with transmission
3) 3.0 rear end from stock m45
4) Go-tech
5) Stock twins
6) Side mount on driver side, not sure what brand
7) Realitive messed up engine didnt know what to do with it
8) Sold it, just have stock transmission left if any one is interested,
I will have more pics/Videos up soon.. Havent gotten it dyno, Im not the mechanic who built it, he is just a friend that hooked it up. Car is running beautifuly but many more upgrades to come hopfully soon..

[dagoodlife]

First upgrades in mind that i would like to get done asap will be suspension, and 3.73 rear end from G37.

Interested to see how the Toyo 340 holds up. I ran one briefly behind a 1U and they seem stout. Fairly loose stock TC with the 2J so you should be good there.
Didn't see the Go-Tech in the picture before - been reading up on them. Looks nice and a relatively good deal.
Stock rear end with the stock Toyo TC should be giving you enough load for really good turbo response, especially with the stock twins.

Very very neat project, looking forward to updates!

When did the G37 go to a 3.73? I thought it had always been a 3.69 ratio

[wingFeather]

This will decimate all, after $10,000 in parts, overnighted from Jahhh pan.

[dagoodlife]

My bad 3.69 ur right

[JoshTex]

NICE WORK!!! Will an LSD from a G35/37 fit my 06 m35?

[EniGmA1987]

My bad 3.69 ur right

Either way, before you get it put on you can always get aftermarket gears if you really wanted to. Then you can go all the way up to 4.##

NICE WORK!!! Will an LSD from a G35/37 fit my 06 m35?

Yes, at least one or two of the years will bolt up with basically no work involved in the swap. I have a G37s rear differential on my '06 M35. The 45 is a bit different, it required a few more changes to be made. Still easy in either case though

I'm not an expert on engines. But what type of engine is that? And how many HP?

Toyota 2JZGTE, twin turbo (sequential) 3 liter. 320hp stock. It was in the MKIV Supra stateside (F&F car).
