softopz Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Hey guys slowly gathering parts here for the future JZ swap. I will be running CX mounts and gt3582 just want to know if theres a single manifold design to stay away from in terms of clearing shock tower. What are you guys running? I was thinking the lines of a cheap manifold and have my friend add some nice thick welds as reinforcements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geno750 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I'd avoid any of the log manifolds, like the PHR street torque. Also, if you haven't bought the CX mounts yet, I'm going to be selling mine. I switched to the weld in crossmember style mount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softopz Posted August 27, 2018 Author Share Posted August 27, 2018 I have the engine mounts already . Do you have tranny mounts for r154. Geno what didnt you like about the motor mounts to forward? I wasnt going with the cast log pieces I was thinking along the tlines header/tubular manifold. I need some input because I read up some of the 2jz vvti motors had clearning issues. I think its the water neck Im not 100% sure though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geno750 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I didn't like a lot of things with the mounts. The biggest were how far forward the motor sits, the positioning/lean of the engine in the bay. I can confirm that the Supra store and Greddy manifolds fit with a larger turbo than a GT35 series on them. So if you go that route you'll be fine.
