Guest Kaz123 Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I bought my first supra last week ( a 95 na auto) to help a friend out who killed the motor and couldn't afford to fix it. I was in the market for a Sunday car when he approached me, so I threw aside the Porsche brochure and started to prep the garage. Ive had a couple tt 300zx's and one was an na conversion with a built motor so I figured I could handle a straight six build. The 2jzgte vvti dbw js161 Aristo engine arrived yesterday and I think I have a grasp on what needs to happen but any and all input would be great. Including moving this thread to the tech section if that's best. So I need to: Install the oil pans and tap the oil return Modify the drive shaft to fit the aristo trans (tail sections are different with sensors) Upgrade fuel pump Transfer ac compressor I'm going to use the na ps pump and relocate the reservoir Transfer na motor mounts to aristo block New Heater core hoses Vacuum manifold or tap into intake manifold for brake booster Throttle cable needs to fit dbw throttle body Installing single turbo kit, intercooler, exhaust, greddy boost controller Not sure on: Coolant temp sender Fuel injectors Where to install maf And of course the biggest hurdle. The one question many have asked and few have answered. How do you make an aristo ecu and harness work in a supra. I plan on mounting the ecu box in the engine bay where the battery used to be and extending the body harness to the ecu. I have good pin outs form http://wilbo666.pbworks.com/w/page/42173082/2JZ-GTE%20VVTi%20JZS161%20Aristo%20Engine%20Wiring All input is welcome. I'll put pics up tonight. Thanks!

Guest Kaz123 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 The motor mount differences (yes new mounts on the way) The tail section differences Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kaz123 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Usdm 2jzge auto harness (everyone's prolly seen at least one of these) Usdm ecu. Three plugs pretty straight forward And the aristo ecu, engine harness terminals (three plugged into ecu, the orange plug and grey plug seem to dead end while the off white and white go into the clear plastic splitter) and the body harness terminals ( two bright white plug directly into the ecu). So...... My thoughts at this point are: How hard is it to find a vvti supra harness and ecu and ditch the dbw. Start printing pin out charts and make my own harness, but I want everything to work. I don't want to miss anything or have a gauge not working and I'm not sure if I will have a pin for every wire. (I know I have to jump the resistor on the tach for any turbo ecu) If I ditch the dbw I guess I'll buy a new manifold and throttle body. Anyone know if the na tps and idle air sensors will match up to tt throttle body? Throw your thoughts at me please. Especially if you have experience.

Guest Kaz123 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Well I have pics of the na oil pan before and after being tapped for oil return but the forum or tapacrappa says I don't have permission to post them or I'm not signed in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kaz123 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Na upper oil pan is notched but not drilled. Some say to take it to a machine shop but soft aluminum and I have a unibit that fits the hole perfect. Hole drilled through. Just put some oil in the recession and some on the bit to keep it cool and drilled slowly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kaz123 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Rt side of aristo motor stripped down. Waiting on single turbo kit 60+ lbs of turbos and manifolds. Was not expecting that much weight. Rear turbo was very clean with minimal to no shaft play Front turbo must pcv valve dumping straight into it. Lots of sludge build up and shaft has play. Might use one the turbos for a sport bike project once the supra is done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kaz123 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Since I'm going single turbo I'll have to close off one of the oil feeds from the block. Anyone know which one to black off? Front or back? Will post pics of both once I'm allowed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kaz123 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Anyone need pics of anything on these cars while I have everything torn apart? Would be more than happy to help. And this being a uk forum do I need to use words like "boot" "bonnet" "petrol" and "chitty chitty bang bang" to get some love? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kaz123 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 It would be awesome if someone else posted too. I really could use some insight from the more experienced supra owners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
listy Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Better off posting all this in Supra Tech mate. As its in New Members, people might just think you are bumping your "hello" thread and ignore it. Looking good so far though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kaz123 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Currently away on business. Should be back this weekend and will be attempting to wire in the aristo ecu. Will provide as many pics as I can of body harness modification. Single turbo kit should also arrive so I'll have pics and review of the kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kaz123 Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Ok so I know it's been a bit but I've been away on work, which allowed parts to arrive. Had some time to do the headlights too. The chrome insides were gross and the plastic lens were hazy Ten minutes in the oven and some black ceramic paint fixed the insides. I wet sanded and clear coated the lens. Tubular manifold looked pretty sexy upon arrival T76 turbo Mocked up on the aristo engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kaz123 Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 The manifold fit pretty well. Had to modify the top front nut to clear the manifold. Took some finesse but fits pretty well. Intercooler, bov, waste gate, and power steering relocation cooler Turbo mounted. Plenty of room to install. I hope it will clear the rt strut tower. Has anyone built a heats yield for scenarios like this? If no one gives any advice I will probably build one just to be sure I don't cook the paint off the rt apron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonR24 Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Hi and welcome. Sorry no one is helping! I would be very interested in how this goes! Can a mod please move this to technical! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kaz123 Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 In other news I have decided to keep the drive by wire setup. Mainly because I want to use the aristo ecu and the vvti in all its glory. From what I've read the aristo ecu will go into limp mode without dbw working normally. it will also eliminate traction control, which isn't horrible, but I want to get this swap working as smooth as possible. I'm also planning on going with a cusco lsd. I've read a lot about different diffs and I think the rs will be a good diff for my cause. I'm planning on having a custom drive shaft made from the aristo trans to the na diff. Unless someone can give me a cheaper alternative like an aristo front shaft paired to a supra rear shaft? I'm going with bigger radiator of course but not sure if a should get one with a built in trans cooler or mount a new trans cooler. As for fuel I'm looking at 650cc injectors and a stock supra tt fuel pump and a piggy back or stand alone to work them. Need to do more research on that topic.
