mistah mofro Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Hello hybridz folks i was wondering if anyone has triple carbed a 2j before. Im planning on picking one up this coming winter/spring and maybe trading my mikunis 40's for larger 45-50's also would run a better ignition system for the 2j.I would only run it with carbs until i gain the funds to go turbo/efi in future. I would assume i would be able to use the stock z harness with according mounting hardware. Any input appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yhlz Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I know some have thrown on ITBs but ive never seen carbs. If they can carb a RB, i cant see why you can't carb a 2JZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG58 Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 What carbs would you run? I'm willing to bet that a triple side draft setup would cost just as much, if not more than the stock EFI. That said, it would probably be pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistah mofro Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 I would more than likely try to run mikuni 40-50's with a megajolt or msd ignition of some sort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzzzz Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I would more than likely try to run mikuni 40-50's with a megajolt or msd ignition of some sort Factory fuel injection and computer on a n/a 2jz would easier and cheaper. You could use the stock 2jz harness for the motor. I think there was less than 10 wires to hook up when I started my 2jzgte on a stand.That included the fuel pump. Memory is fading tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I've also been wondering if you can carb a 2jz gte I'm not a fan of electronics and want to go oldschool. Is that possible or better yet safe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Nothing unsafe about it if you do it right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seattlejester Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Carbs hold a bit of fuel in them, but as long as you don't get a front fire or something it shouldn't be a factor. That is going to be quite the project to adapt a carb set, fit a pressure box over the whole thing, then mechanically tune for it. There is some simplicity in mechanical tuning, but without going real deep into the nitty gritty of carb tuning you won't get some of the niceties of fuel injection. @280zex did a turbo carb setup with a 4 barrel and a conversion manifold on an L28ET maybe he can chime in.
