I originally was going to do a 3sgte about 5 years ago which didn't pan out. I had a w58 I bought for that swap left over sitting in my garage. Fast forward to a year ago I find someone trying to get rid of a 2jzge with auto tranny for cheap. I couldn't pass it up. Especially after I saw the build of a 1jz in an AE71 (the yellow one). Bought some similar parts and here I am now. Doing this swap.



June 17,2011
-auto tranny/flex plate/torque converter removed
-swapped the w58 bellhousing from the 7m's to the 2jz's

-block off plate for turbo return line in oil pan installed

-cleaning out rust from spark plug galley
-removing old/brittle/broken vaccum and coolant lines

Starting to think I'm not gonna make my dead line because of how much I want/need to prep/bring back to life this motor before shoving it into a car with hardly any room to work with.

June 21, 2011

-Removed radiator from Corolla
-Sanded and filled in holes in valve covers with JB weld :D

-Removed EGR vacuum lines completely

-reinstalled valve covers

-painted/rust converted bolt heads with rust on them
-removed the exhaust manifolds to be cleaned up and painted




June 30, 2011

I'm getting my camera back today when I drive up to start working on the rolla today. Hopefully I'll have some pics tonight. Sorry, I'm usually better about pics. I fail lately though. =/

Nah, some of us on here (namely moi!) are just visually needy.

I understand. I have the pics and I will upload them in the morning.


Edit: Well I was going to post pics but apparently photobucket doesn't want to upload correctly.

Rusted plug wires is no bueno.






W58 with 2jz bellhousing



Baby supras



Custom Mitsubishi oil return line block off plate (formally known as an exhaust pipe block off plate)



Old timing belt tensioner and pulley






2JZ

Look at you man! Pics are raining down everywhere you go!

That timing belt tensioner looks awfully like the Black Top 20v tensioner.

very cool.

It's amazing what a little paint will do.







And amazing what aluminum cans, JB weld, and krazy glue can do. Hooray for being cheap!

I like! Any pics of the fit yet Cereal?

Negative - haven't got that far. I have to source more parts (ugh). So this is going to take much longer than I wanted. =(

July 24, 2011
-Decided it'd be best to remove the p/s pump and a/c since I'm not using either (now I gotta figure out what accessory belt will work that's significantly shorter)
-Did final prep to the engine (minus tranny hook up) for mocking the motor finally.
-waiting on parts now >_<
