FOSTA Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 (edited) Ok it's time to start my build thread. This build is just to see if I can pull off building a 600bhp 2jz-GE (NA-T) motor! No reason for it other than I want to see if I can do it myself. Ok here is a few pictures to show yous alittle of the cars history since its been with me. Ok and here is the start of the new build, I've sorced a 2nd engine to work on so I can keep the car on the road untill it's ready for its new brain Edited January 25, 2014 by FOSTA (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodge Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 If your going Syvecs and wand to clean up the loom etc, all sensors on the short block apart from oil level can go in the bin. That's both knock sensors, and oil pressure trigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOSTA Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 Abit of an update! I havnt done much to the engine at the moment as I've been concentrating on cleaning the body work up and a few other bits. I put it in the the body shop to get the boot resprayed ( because of rust), the sideskirts, 2 front wings, drivers rear quarter panel and spat, and a trd spoiler ( turned out not to fit :/ ). Also dyed my carpet black and got myself aset off custom mats made by Dane @ dc automotive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
