Standalone Info Needed

[Guest Zachb55]

Ok, thanks for all the help guys , i think im getting somewhere now... I would really like to do a 2JZ swap, but i dont know of anyone who has done it?!?! I saw the one on Ebay, but i would need someone to talk to about doing it, because i dont think im really at the point where i can pioneer my own setup and have everything work out, maybe if i worked with a shop or something. I know parts and service and EVERYTHING would be alot easier to get ahold of for a Supra engine compared to a Skyline one here in washington.

IF I were doing the 2JZ swap I'd swap in the engine harness too just as if I were going to use the stock ECU - except then I'd slap in an AEM OEM harnesses can be expensive but they're pretty tough too. Custom wiring is nice and all but a PITA especially if you have to swap sensors around to run a particular ECU. Who wants to fab a trigger wheel when the stock crank sensor could be used just fine? It also looks like the RB may have variable timing control of somesort judging from the wart on the front of the timing cover - you'll want to be able to run that. I'm pretty sure, but not positive, that the new AEM can do this as it's been done on some other cars.

 

Neither the RB or the 2JZ are "off the shelf swaps" and will require some fabbing. More people have done the RB than the 2JZ swap IMO. I'm trying to get some info on a 1JZ swap from OZ and have some LIMITED info up on my site now with more extensive stuff coming I HOPE. I'm mostly curious to know if the stock turbos would fit with it. If I had a spare 2JZ I'd try!

 

As for parts for the RB - it's becoming a POP

ULAR motor. The last couple of import rags I grabbed have ALL had info on the RB. Being on the West Coast I'd think that RB parts would be somewhat easier to get than it would be for me. You've also got some members here that might be able to ship you things from overseas. Motorex should certainly be able to get you parts if you need them. One thing that troubles me reading about the RB - nearly every shop that talks about making BIG power on an RB is diving into the internals FAR sooner than you have to on a 2JZ. I don't know at what point that's really needed but a 2JZ is one tough mother!

 

Heh, and I'll admit it seems weird putting a 4banger in a Z but hey, it makes POWER so who cares!

 

P.S. Some info on the next AEM software release, after this one I think TractionControl will be on their short list. Yes, that could be retrofitted to a Z if you mounted wheelspeed aka ABS sensor to the wheels (I'm told). Control will be via ignition. I hopeto beta test this next software release end of this week (Shh!)

Cuong,

could you tell us more about the system you run? I think you said it was a Autronic? how much did it cost, what did you have to buy extra tps/map/temp/knock? are you using a map or mas? any info would be great.

i'm about to buy.

thanks

Hi all,

 

BLKMGK -- when you were talking about 2JZ engines you said:

 

"Heh, and I'll admit it seems weird putting a 4banger in a Z but hey, it makes POWER so who cares!"

 

Are you saying the 2JZ is a 4 cylinder engine???? Because it's certainly not, it's a 6 cylinder!!!!

in japan, common knowledge is to get above 600 hp depending on setup headwork, rods and pistons are needed.

I was wondering if the Aem standalones would work with the L28 at all?
