Overkill Z Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 how do u like that betamotorsports engine mount? I love it..its really well made..the welds on it are flawless and it fit in my car like a glove...had to trim the tension rod covers a bit (which john saide i would have to) and it slid right in and the motor sits really low and far back....i can fit my 1000ho 2j into it no problem with a 76mm turbo and a HUGE intake manifold.

EMWHYR0HEN Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Your swap is looking great. Keep it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSSJZ-ZED Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Just finished installing R154,(updated post) pic of where your shifter will move back to when you fit the Soarer extension housing I have the Chaser 154 ,which is the same as Soarer, think you will definately need a LSD,( totally different to drive compared to the smooth civilised auto, diff ratio might need stepping back a bit as well) If you have the non cable electronic speedo, wire up could cause problems, it can be done, but beyond me.

Gritz Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 I have the standard r154 that comes in the supras(no extension) And i can put my trans in any gear with full interior..maybe my engine is further back than yours... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSSJZ-ZED Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 I have about an inch and 3/4 from the back of the block to the firewall, which is round about the extra that gets picked up by bolting on the Soarer/Chaser type extension. You must have the engine real close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timbo1jz Posted October 27, 2008 Author Share Posted October 27, 2008 I haven't posted in a little while, but I have got a lot done. Finally got around to painting the valve covers, I modified a Toyota Camry throttle cable to work on the 1jz thanks to RussZed's idea. Got a set of Sportmax wheels for the z too. Everything in the engine bay is almost done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbo1jz Posted October 27, 2008 Author Share Posted October 27, 2008 Got all the bushings in the front end replaced with poly bushings. Control arm bushings, rack bushings, steering coupler bushings, strut rod bushings, and tie rod end grease boots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbo1jz Posted October 27, 2008 Author Share Posted October 27, 2008 Oh, and my favorite part. Infinity Q45 r200 LSD installed with modern motorsports mounting kit. Working on the rear end now, doing all the bushings, custom lower control arms, axels, ect... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gritz Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Hard at work huh!!! Great job, everything really looks good...How do you like that diff mount kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSSJZ-ZED Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 this link could be of use for anyone using the R154 with short extension housing out of a Mk3 Supra http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=477519 there is post somewhere on how to put the guts out of a shortnose LSD diff into a longnose case, saves changing front mount position (and driveshaft length if already set up) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timbo1jz Posted November 3, 2008 Author Share Posted November 3, 2008 Got my fuel feed system done today. Summit racing 12 gallon fuel cell with -8 feed line into a Bosch motorsports 044 fuel pump (good for 700 whp) with a -6 feed from the pump to the engine. I have an inline fuel filter before the pump. I will do the return next. Here are a couple pics. It looks nicer in person than in the pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUSSJZ-ZED Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Did it say which diff had to be used...for example use the stock r180 with lsd short nose guts? R200 viscous LSD shortnose into long nose casing, obviously won't work with R180 and R230 into R200, The number after the "R" indicates the size in millimetres R200= 8 inch, R230 = 9 inch( and a little bit)R180 = 7 and a little bit,-get the idea? But, if car originally fitted with R180, drive shaft same item as for factory fitted R200 open. Swapping centres only really going to be advantageous if you have the 200 allready- we seem to have got more 240/260Z's with R200's in Australia than you got in the states, I think all cars here were 5 speed (and a few auto's), never seen a 4speed, could be why. Item hiding somewhere in my computer, will put up link when I locate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timbo1jz Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 Got some new pics. Fuel system is done, and I removed the complete rear suspension and got the new Modern Motorsports control arms in. I have ground control coilovers and tokicos on the way. Replacing the spindle pins while I have it appart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
