I wanna see....

C'mon bro, your taking too long..... :D :P

Question... How long do you think the whole process will take??

[dadali]

Here is mine. If you are interested to see

[MrSypher]

What happened??

[Supra-chargedIS340]

will post pics soonish......hopefully

[MrSypher]

Cool...

I just got my Work Rezax in... They look sooo nice.

[zeta]

gotta see this 2JZ IS, man. did you do the work yourself? or a shop?

[Supra-chargedIS340]

shared project...its kinda going slow at the moment, we keep changing ideas.

will keep ppl informed as thinks start moving more swiftly

[zeta]

yeah changing ideas could cause conflict. but once it gets in... that will be one sick IS, man. good luck on the finish. :)

[Supra-chargedIS340]

engines out.........

[Matthew_McNally]

Every time I see that picture Mat it shocks me.

Can't belive how naked the engine bay looks!

:o :o

[Import_Boy]

How do you go about thinkin of ideas of putting an engine in? Are there a lot of different ways? Cuz I would think you just take the uneccessary lexus parts out and replace it with the neccessary supra parts and ecu and stuff..... But i'm most likely wrong

[zeta]

well it's a different engine. the engine supracharged is most likely putting in, is a supra engine (2JZ-GTE) while the stock IS engine is a lower tuned model of that same engine, but with weaker internals and no turbo (2JZ-GE)

so a lot of things would have to be taken out to house the 2JZ-GTE since that engine has the stronger internals needed to produce high hp better than a weaker internal GE version. :)

or at least that's what i remember of these swaps. :D

[Import_Boy]

yeah i knew that stuff (I also post on supraforums) but I was askin why they had different plans at goin at it. Because in the end, everything is gettin put in the same way right?

[Lexus_Rex]

what about the 3s-gte? Its lighter.

[Import_Boy]

Less power

[zeta]

well sometimes it may be a personal choice.

turbo'ing the 2JZ-GE is cheaper than doing an entire 2JZ-GTE swap with new turbo's.

[Supra-chargedIS340]

i have gone for the 2jz-gte, because the aimed HP that we want to be able to run reliably on is 600-700bhp.

however we will be aiming to dyno the car at 1000bhp with Gas, then de-tune back to 600bhp.

many idea's not so much time or an endless bank account

the engine originally fitted was a supercharged 2litre 6 cylinder

with 6 speed stick

[AWJ]

From an IS200 to a hybrid Altezza. Looks promising. Keep us posted. For the turbo (T88) needed to hit 1000hp and management controls, daily driveability will be sacrificed I would expect. The turbo size would be huge and to detune to 600 would require much less - or a better performing turbo (T62-70) for that range - IMO. What is your approach to this? Big Single, big doubles, parallel - what kind of management. For 1000hp are you planning on using a spool up kit or what? What is the motor going to rev to, what will the driveline be made of? - details man.

I never saw the 200 motor before. Didn't know it was a 6. Thought it was a 4. Thanks for the pic!

Z... you're starting to give me a complex. Stop saying the 2JZ-GE is weaker because it is not. The only difference is the cylinder head and the turbo and lower compression pistons. The internals are very strong from bottom to top.:(

[zeta]

all right, all right, AWJ. that's always the way i thought it. your other description already did it once for me... i don't know as much as you, oh 2JZ master!!...

i'm only 16... what do you expect?! :

[AWJ]

My apologies.

[Supra-chargedIS340]

lol..........

ah friendly banter, dont you just love it :D

[Supra-chargedIS340]

ok........

first test fit of engine, didnt go well, i need to buy an Aristo sump, i know how to solve the engine mounts.

i would have posted the pic but i cannot get it to upload

[Matthew_McNally]

will......

it.....

fit......?

like that Mat? ;)

[Supra-chargedIS340]

yep......however we managed to get it most of the way in, before the heater pipes fouled the rear turbo inlet, the sump was fouled on the subframe and a few other bits just wern't where they should be :D
