LOL, ok, I'm just as anxious or more than you guys, but I'm working on getting the minor things done. Like most people, money is the slowing factor here . I should have the engine 100% by the middle of this month and the exterior done by next month.

I will put up some better videos once the piping and exhaust go in.

My bro got his 1j tuned, we have the same set up and mods, only the turbo is different. He got a Precision GT4082 and I got a Master Power.

[Reno]

meh...

[Supra_turbo]

NICE bro... Im gonna do the same swap soon.. Found motor... Now jus need the transmission...

[triplesixrivals240]

Got it on the one and only EBay!!

What is included in this buy?

I'm just wondering because I'm piecing together a plan for a 2JZ swap into a S13 and what I'm going to do about the exhaust system is confusing me a bit...I've been told a few times that I will have to order a custom made system, excluding the tip. But what have you done about downpipes, exhaust manifolds, etc?

And I'm sure I'm thinking right, but I should use the R154 transmission with a 2JZ swap as well, right?

This thread has helped me out a lot with a few of the links and conversations, thanks, a lot...

triplesixrivals240,

I am the one building this car. That was my car on the first post. I have another 1jz s13 I am buttoning up now, but this one is with a twinGT28r, similar to the HKS kit for the 2jz. It's going to be pretty sick.

Contact me an I'll fill you in on what you'll need. [email protected]

[mig240sx]

Slow, but coming along. Had the Super Dragger installed, next month, intercooler piping and coilovers will be installed.

[adam-gtX]

dang, already trying to kill that 1jz??^^

[mantis]

Awesome engine for the 240sx. I think I am going to use the LS1 though. Are you doing anything to the rear end, or do you think it will handle all that power, especially if you get the tires to hook up?

Any idea what it will run in the 1/4 with slicks instead of street tires? I would think low 10's.

[mig240sx]

Thanks man. LS1, nice, those engines are no joke either.

As for the rear end, no, I don't think they will hold up much with slicks and the hp these engines are capable of. I plan to stay away from slicks and only going as far as drag radials (Nittos). I will keep using the stock end until it goes and then I'll put in a nice J30 for longer gears; it will take much more of a beating.

1/4 mile time, with a good driver, I think more like mid to high 10's on slicks. I will probably need to be at 550 to hit low 10's on slicks. On drag radials, with practice, consistant mid to low 11's. I'm going by other 1j swaps and the times they got in heavier cars.

[drewgo]

He're some pics of my 1j'd s13:

[mantis]

Are you going to put in a roll cage? Around here at route 66 raceway, they won't allow you to run a car faster than 11.99 without a cage.

I was thinking of possibly putting a camaro rear end in. The final build should probably fall around 420 HP. I don't want to go above that, because I am afraid of drastically reducing reliability if I do.

[mig240sx]

Yeah, you will be more than fine with that rear end and 420hp. If you want reliable, consider the 1j. There are tons of 1js rolling as daily drivers with 450rwhp+. Example, my bro's 1j'ed sc300 in the pic above (the white car next to the 240) is pushing 468 as a daily driver (work, store, going out, highway racing and occasional track). With his setup (bolt ons only) he hit 485 and tuned it down to 468 with only 550cc injectors and 17lbs.

As for the the roll cage, no, I'm building this car for my daily driver (my only driver, LOL) and weekend Bully with a reliable 460rwhp.

[zzcoupezz]

hey drewgo, do you have any pics of installing that 1j in the s13? i would love to do the swap, but im not sure if its worth the time for me.

[drewgo]

I have a few pics, but what is it you need to know?

[zzcoupezz]

honestly, everything. but mainly how you mounted it. i know i could go the lazy (expensive) way, and buy the kit, but i like to do things myself. plus, im not rich.

[adam-gtX]

anything new happening with this project?

[mig240sx]

Nothing much, just that I got a call from Panda Garage (JDM Importers) that my OEM Navan full body kit arrived (minus the spoiler, hate it). I plan to have it shipped and installed very soon. As for engine work, I'm moving back to my home town, so I had to put a pause on the project for about 1-2 months only.

I'll take some pics of the engine bay and put it up for some of you planning to do the swap.

[sleepyS14]

great project!! good luck with it!! big ups to my JZ brothers out there..!!

what kind of radiator you guys running? im running a modified KOYO for an SR20 but it still runs pretty hot. thank god it's winter. heat soaking like a ***** til mid october. but in any case.. yeah id love to know if you guys are encountering any cooling issues considering the florida heat and that ginormous speed snail you got there. keep us posted!! thanks!!

Yeah dude, it's a common problem with jz's in S bodies. Especially on Hard Runs. You can see it climb very quickly.What I did to fix the problem was put electric fan in front and behind the radiator. Sort of a push and pull air system through the radiator. The one infront of the radiator ran constant. And the one behind ran on relay.

Hope that helps.

great, that would be very helpful!

[zzcoupezz]

hey drewgo, what accesaries are you running; like, ac, ps. yeah more pics would be awesome.

yeah sadly enough i'm running two 12's pullers in the back and one 14 pusher in the front and still running hot. ridiculous reallie. im at a loss for what to do next. debating on vented hood for function over form. cusco diversion plate.. trying to source a TRD (colder) thermostat..maybe do a flush and start running dex-cool mix instead of the green stuff.. but that is definitely a good idea. i know for a fact that id kill the battery if i left all the fans on the thermostatic switch and linked it to the battery. maybe if i only did the front one... it wouldnt die out so fast. that and optima / oddyssey battery might help. but WINTER FTW haha

[WDRacing]

Might be able to source a better Alternator from something with a bigger motor. I know the KA guys use the Quest alt with very good results. Just have to mod the bracket some.

I didn't see, are you using the stock Rad? If so, I'd definitly suggest getting an aftermarket unit, or a junkyard rad used for a V8. That and add a nice big oil cooler if you haven't already.

Great project man, it looks like it was born there.

[mig240sx]

zzcoupezz, Drewgo doesn't come on here often so I'll answer your question for him. His 1j'ed sc300 and my 1j'ed 240 (the over reved one) both, run a/c and power steering. On my 240 we only had to cut the ABS line to fit the 1j. Drewgo has a 240 (the brown s13 in pic) that he is selling and I'm not sure what type of accessories he is running on that one, I'll ask him.

Wait are you running your Temp sensor from Toyota Or Nissan...I use Nissan on mines becuase the Nissan cluster reads it wrong making cluster read hotter than it really is. You keep your toyota sensor to feed the ECU but you run a separate Nissan to feed your cluster. Other then that I can't think of anything else that could be the problem.
