Looking for a 240z in pretty good condition. Preferably running ro close to. I dont want a huge project. Minimal rust is a must. Preferably stockish car. Gotta be here in oregon or washington Shaun

clean engines means they steam cleaned them, which sucks because then you cant find out where it might be leaking oil from until it's already in the car.

Awesome writeup.Wish my starion 1j swap was this easy If I go with anything other than a l series with the s30 I plan on picking up this will be it. Good to have a documented guide.

damn kyler you found me out. I gotta make a bad reputation for myself here too ya know

I had real good luck with venus auto, and so does a friend of mine who deals with them regularly on 1jz and 2jz engines. I just bought a engineset. I never did a compression test while I had it running, but she didnt smoke and the turbos were good. Everything looked good. Transmission had no leaks, so i was real happy. If I ever get my holset setup going I will od a comp test, but im confident it will be fine. Watch for their sales, and you can do good. Also talk to the girl if you get a setup. I think her name is vicky or something.

you can also get the bell housings new for around 400 from toyota. Probably cheapest just to get a r154 off a 1jz to begin with.

the point of the twin 14bs was that they were cheap and easily capable of over 500hp. And I wanted to use antilag quite a bit, so expensive turbos were out of the question. I've done part of the work already ie making flanges and buying the tubing for the manifolds. 135 bucks for a setup of turbos that will be able to push over 500rwhp isnt exactly expensive Besides twins look sexier. But right now I may try a holset setup until I finish this twin setup. It all Depends if I can find a cheap source for a t4 to t3 adapter though. I see a lot of people talk ♥♥♥♥ about twins, and its mostly unfounded. The japanese have been using big twin kits with great success for quite a while. Making power with a jz is easy imo. It's making it with a decent powerband the counts at the end. I dont have any boundaries as im already running a e11v2 stand alone. As for cutting the firewall, i wanted to, anything to move the engine back a little is a good thing. I can still put the interior back in etc... Starion rear ends dont self destruct Mitsubishi did good. The only issues I've ever heard of is a car or 2 sheering a axle from wheel hop. There are cares putting over 500ftlbs of torque on drag slicks with no issues. I've personally beat the living hell out of my starions and never had a issue.

I dont really have a problem with a 1jz, I could have chosen a 2jz, I just felt the 1jz would be more than enough, and I was looking for something with a different powerband than what the original car had which is hobs of torque. My whole goal witht he 1jz is to make a good powerband out to 8500ish rpms. I'm only aiming for around 500hp at most. whenever I cant lay down anymore power is where I'll stop. heres a link to my build thread. Right now I have the car really torn apart. I'm redoing the engine mounts, and putting together a holset turbo setup among other things. http://www.nwstarquest.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=77

by the time you got a clutch setup and what not for a t56, you would be paying the same price for a getrag, plus the v160 is a single od transmission vs the t56 which is normally a double od tramission. the v160 is a far batter track transmission stock gearing wise. btw nice swap, but the pics dont work on the first few pages, I lost interest after that because of the f'n keyboard warriors arguing about dyno numbers on a engine they will never own or use.. . I'm thinking about picking up a 240z for my next project after i finish the last 10% of this 1jz swap in my starion. Anyone wanna point me to a page that actually has pics of the car that work?
