So as some of you might have read in the new members area, recently my freshly placed 2JZ-GTE engine commited suicide, just after it had been in the car for 1 and a half month and ive not even covered a 1000Km with the car since :rolleyes::badmood:

 

a little background info first:

 

i did the 2JZ-GTE swap, took me half a year to complete and way cost double of what most people probably would of paid for it, but ow well shit happens. While i was at it, i placed an BLITZ ecu to replace the factory ECU, as i didnt want to use an FCD and a SLD, and found a standalone ECU way to expensive for a stock engine (in heinsight, i should of gone with a standalone ECU probably). Also installed a 1st and 2nd decat with restrictor ring and an FMIC and some BRIDE bucket seats

 

Within those 1000km i did manage to participate in the JAPRUN 2015, the first time ever this event has been held and it was a good event i gotta say, shamefully my car wasnt esthatically fully ready yet, as the front bumper so far was only in the primer and didnt have my paint in time for the event....

From JAPRUN 2015 we fast forward to the weekend of 18 & 19 july. Me and a mate left at 5:15AM to go to the ring for a weekend of fun, sadly we never even left holland as my engine gave up just after half an hour of driving on the road, first we thought it were the turbo's that gave up their lives. We dropped the car the same morning at the local specialist "suprasport". They told me that my 6th cilinder has (probably) completely disintegrated. They should of started last thursday with pulling the engine out for a complete rebuild, sadly they have not started yet. I hope they do soon, and rebuild it properly (bought the engine from them, and they did the biggest part of the instal after i could not get it done myself). Im just hoping it wont be to expensive after im planning to sell the car straight after the rebuild anyways....

And then when the engine was pulled apart, this was the result....

i now have a couple of choices:

 

1) sell it as a project car (if anyone is interested send me a PM)

2) get another 2JZ-GTE engine and get that fitted

3) go big single (least likely, costs way more then fitting another 2JZ-GTE)

 

Each has their own appeal ofcorse, for now am still calculating what the best/cheapest decision will be...
