My Detailed 2jz-gte/240sx swap

[SuicidnS13]

Sorry just did a little more research and found out aristo 2jz's are front sump

Steve- Just read your parts list. It includes a usdm spec water pump. But not a front sump oil pan setup? Are you still running the aristo's rear sump? Also with the ruckus racing mounts did you use the rear sump? What about on your s14, rear sump and all stock crossmember still? Any pics of your custom mounts or are you still using the ruckus kit with custom solid mounts? Sorry for all the questions but I to agree and think that 1600.00 for an install kit is absurd. Especially when you are dealing with cars which dont even blue book for 1600.00 anymore.

I'm new to nissan always loved the 2jz I've been torn between LSx or 2JZ after seeing that video I'm leaning towards 2jz. So you guys that are doing the swap are buying the engine and transmission separate?

yeah, cheaper to find an aristo engine, and then use an r154 transmission. I dont believe ive seen anyone thats used a getrag 6 spd yet, but there could very well be if they have enough $$ and someone who can custom fab.

the kit just makes it easier for people doing the swap who dont fab themselves or have access to it outside of paying a shop to do it. 1500, maybe a bit high, but the kit is very well put together and with the spacers moves the sway bar outta the way so the aristo oil pan doesnt need modifying or anything like that. Anyways i used the kit in my sil, and would again.

Hey Steve do you have a form of contact I can use incase I have any questions when it comes to my own swap here in the next few weeks? Just trying to get together the last of my parts before the install.

I have some questions as well!!! Will the stock clutch line bolt up to the slave cylinder or do you have to have a custom line made?

[Steve2jz240]

contact information is [email protected].. i have been thru alot in the past 7 months or so with several other 2j swaps and im on the verge of starting a new thread thats really "detailed" or making a video similar to the one tech 2 has out which to me is absolutely useless.. everything is still in the air now but i have to do something for the 240 community.. you guys just wanna go fast and i wanna help make that happen.. stay tuned fellas

[Steve2jz240]

BIG UPDATE!!!!.............

[Steve2jz240]

haha! nothing much, just a VVTI 6 speed 2jzgte swap out of a 2002 jdm supra.. im installing the transmission in my s14 and the engine into another mk3 supra i came across.. Hey!! for all those guys that hate me for not sharing the wiring just hit me with and e-mail [email protected] and i'll be glad to share! And im sorry i havn't posted in a while just been busy trying to save up for this swap.. Honestly this transmission is SOOOOOO much smaller in person.. i mean it looks to be almost the same size as the r154 except the fact the getrag is smaller! wish me luck!

[Lonismos14]

I wonder what that motor is that.

The engine is from a JDM toyota supra.. 2002 and you just have to know where to look

[pauliedrft]

man you come across more 2jz's than my friend lol and well 2 of them are supra's and one is a sc300 lol

[Steve2jz240]

on to the pictures...R154side by side 6 speed flywheel..

[Steve2jz240]

actually i couldnt put the transmission up with the clutch setup bolted to the flywheel.. i had to slide the clutch and pp on the input shaft, then put the trans up..

great for working on transmissions on the groundTHIS IS WHERE I HAD TO BEAT..

[Steve2jz240]

ALL IN!Modified x-member(basically making a slot for the bolt holes)good 4 now.......or maybe not waaaaayyyy back!!

[onlydrinkkoolaid 240Love]

[lilRillo]

Sick car, props on the s14

[shiversport]

any chance i could get some more info on the wiring from you im in the process in doing the swap myself and just need a little more incite on the wiring going in my s13 thanks.

[DMeN Z]

Props on the workmanship and ingenuity. Good find on the power-plant...keep us posted.

[EJ22t]

I just recently have come around to the 2jz swap (I honestly didnt even know it was possible untill a few weeks ago) and Im gearing up to tackle this myself hope to see this thread continue good work so far dude, anxious to see how this 6speed turns out oh and do you have any shifting issues yet?

[pauliedrft]

just a note 3 of my friends run the 6 speed the shift seal will leak throw another on top of it thats what they all do .

[Kalypso]

[bllabong89]

great build. I wish I only had a 2jz.lol. what fun that would be

[Keenglouie]

This is a great thread..... I was inspired the first time I saw it but now I need some help. I have the 2JZ GTE in a 1990 240sx. The car runs strong but now I am working on getting the Tach and Speedo to work.... does anyone have a write up on this? I am in need of help. I willl also be using the SGI-5 and SGI-8 from Dakota Digital. Any help would be great. Thnx

[Kalypso]

does the r154 trans bolt direct to the 2J ?

[GoTRicEo0]

R154 will bolt up to the 2jz... after you bolt up the 1jz belhousing.

[Kalypso]

got you...

2j > getrag 6 speed.

7mgte > r154

so what trans does the 1jz use?
