MyLaDyZ Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 you need to use 4 inner cv joints and boots from a q45. Then you can use mosier axle shafts from Modern Motorsports with their companion flange adapters. thanks, ill have more question on the way wats the plans after the drivetrain is done?

timbo1jz Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 well, thats what I am doing right now. The interior is being done right now, and I hate doing it. I hate doing the cleaning ect.,but it will be running soon. The wiring is easy so i am not worried about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably the case again where people who don't know what they're doing make it seem insurmountable for those who could or would... like me.

I agree the wiring is not bad at all once you get a understanding for what your trying to do...One things for sure it easier than any gm swap..

timbo1jz Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 Yah, getting the motor to run is the easy part, but I am running a painless type wiring harness for my interior/lights ect. which will take some time to complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gritz Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 How so? My brother which is helping me with my wiring..did a lt1 swap in a 1967 chevy truck..oh boy the harness on that thing was a nightmare..from what i understand, some of the body harness is infused with the engine harness so you have to decifer through all of that...most import engines has a separate engine harness which is far easier to work with....

The 2jz is said to be a little harder than the 1jz, im not sure why..but im pretty sure it's easier than any of the fuel injected v8's...Now the vvt usdm 2jz is said to be the hardest out the bunch..because of obdII...Wiring is not hard as long as you know the basics of engine control operation...fuel,spark, volt/amp..etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piston Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 im sure when it comes around, i should be able to tackle it. the lt1 is easy cause there are alot of aftermarket computer programmers out there to use and its pretty much x this and x that, reset and your done. too bad thers not anything out there for the 1jz/2jz that is affordable.

timbo1jz Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 well guys, the rain this past month has killed me on progress. Anytime I get a day off, it rains . Anyways, I'm back on the project more than ever and I am ready to get this thing running very soon. I made my aluminum intercooler pipes finally and had a friend TIG weld them for me and they came out bitchin'. Damn I wish I could weld aluminum! Anyways, I used 2.75" piping, because I thought that 2.5" would be a bit too small and 3" would be a bit too big, so I found a happy medium. I also had him weld on a tial BOV flange for my tial 50mm BOV. Pipes will be on this weekend along with a custom intake, and I will paint/seal the interior, along with laying down the sound deadening mat. Here are some pics of the pipes- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbo1jz Posted March 8, 2009 Author Share Posted March 8, 2009 alright, pipes are on the car and everything fits perfect. Everything under the hood is officially ready to rock and roll. Here are a few pics- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gritz Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Cool, i also got my brother to weld up my IC pipes today..Mine are alittle different than yours, my filter isn't as long as yours is, i got the one from advance.....Looks killer, keep up the good work....

timbo1jz Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 thanks gritz. The only thing that I am worried about in both of our setups is that running a filter directly on the turbo means that their is no room to have an intake tube with a fitting to suck out the crankcase vapors. We can't run a catch can, but I am thinking that venting the valve cover will be enough to release the pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't run a catch can, but I am thinking that venting the valve cover will be enough to release the pressure. While not a real clean look, it would be easy enough to basically poke a hole in part of the filter and have a nipple sticking out of it. There are fittings out there that can poke out of the filter and have a nut that threads to seal it tight. Just have it poke out on the side of the filter facing the turbo; I'm of course not talking about the filter element (ie cloth/paper) but the plastic or rubber.

Yep, your right...Ive seen people run the little auto zone filters...but i would much rather do it the right way...Once i get to a more comfortable spot with my build then I'll figure something out...unless you come up with something first..
