Ding Ding Ding!!! Its a Lexus 2JZ-GTE

and there we have it.

it will be converted to a single turbo, a small one that will spool at low rpms, and a N/A intake manifold


now i just need to figure out how to mate it to a 4wd trans

[84xcab]

[86bobbedtoy]

I have a lexus is300 withe the 2jzge nonturbo six 205 stock hp at the rear wheels.

same motors as the late model supras

[86bobbedtoy]

This is going to be AWESOME. I want to do a 2JZ-GTE swap in my 85 Supra...

Can't wait to see it under the hood of a 4runner

search idaho speed center

BTW, that engine is going to ROCK, holy crap

[TacoRunner]

Sounds Great.

What about the oil pan. From the pics it looks like a problem. What say you?

[THK Matt]

From wikipedia

For all applications, two gearboxes were mated to the engine:

Toyota A341E 4-speed automatic
Toyota V160 and V161 6-speed manual (jointly developed with GETRAG GmbH as the Type 233)

[THK Matt]

if you cant find a way to run that 6spd... which would be sick.... i wonder if that A341E has a removable bellhousing and  then get a A340E from a taco and what not

[crawlerdan]

Sounds Great.

i dont think it will be an issue, i have seen 2 4runners use this pan, but if it is, the drag racing companies do make a dry sump and a rear sump pan for the twin turbo supra

i dont want anything to so with either of those trannies, heres why-

6 spd-cost about 4 grand to buy one, would have to divorce a t case-thats double gay
the auto- if it is going auto (which im ok with) itt will be a non electronic control unit, such as a turbo 350 or th400. i have no desires whatsoever to wire in TCU and harness for an auto. simple is my friend.



the plan is to get a 1jz bell house, and bolt up the r150 i have to it. while using a turbo supra clutch

Is that possible or your going to have to customize the BH?

thats how its supposed to be done, i will have to put an r154 supra turbo input shaft into my 150 though
