2JZ GTE

[Guest Anonymous]

I'm think of putting a SR20DET engine in my 72 240Z, but a 2JZ-GTE has been brought to my attention. Do you guys have any input on the matter of a 2JZ-GTE swap?

Couple of things... 2JZGTE are a bit expensive, 1JZGTE from a JDM clip might be worth looking at - it's 2.5liters and revs higher with parallel turbos instead of sequential. JDM 2JZGTE have smaller injectors and ceramic turbines, not as good. 2JZGTE parts are readily available here, don't think many parts for the 2JZ swap to the 1JZ, I know the exhaust manifold won't.

 

I've seen pics of the 2JZGTE in a Z, it looked like the single turbo manifold was a little cobbled, not sure one of the Supra kits would fit. I could measure my engine bay if that would help. I've actually got some pics of a 2JZGTE in a Z and I HAD pics of a 1JZ in a Z till my dog ate the CD 1JZ and 2JZ are the same physical size I'm told. There are SOME pics of a 1JZ Z swap on my site now from a mag article. I've got my fingers crossed that I can get the other pics sent to me again

 

Be sure to investigate the powerband of the 2JZ. It's a beast up top but launches a little soft unless you slip the clutch or use an automatic. That might save some rear parts. 6Speed Getrags are BUX and few people work on them. On the upside that's a bulletproof tranny so long as you use TOYOTA trans fluid (trust me, use it). That's a close ratio 6speed BTW, 5th isn't an overdrive. The 1JZ has a 5speed attached and will fit the 2JZ I think, there's both a 1JZclip w/trans AND a 1JZ trans seperate in the Supra section of ThePartsTrader.com

 

Okay, that's all I think I know. Oh wait, if you use the Supra harness the AEM ECU will bolt right in and give you full control. I'm using it now Dunno' anything about the RB26DET but I'd like to learn more...
