Long Hard Weekend.

The Begining


Removal of Front Sump Oil pan


Rear Sump Oil pan installation, Paps hand doing some last minute stuff.


My second Hand flywheel. Skimmed surface..


My pressure plate.. which i suspect is extremely hard.. hello muscular left leg. and clutch. The pressure plate was skimmed to. I am aware of the precautions and it was well done. Paps does kinda shit ery day. All things were taken into considerations.



Mounted.



May not be the most cleanest.. shiniest R154 out there but it's my R154.


Fully Mounted




And this is where the pain and frustration started... STUCK.. lol word to the inexperience.. don't put in a 2jz into a mk3 with the mounts bolted on.. of with the cylinder head for that matter.


But.. We finally got it in. The product of this weekend.


FACT: Twin turbo 2jz-GTE can fit in a right had drive MK3 without have to touch the firewall.

i see you took hid of my warning in reference to the wiring staying on. Im impressed looks very good, keep it up.

now THAT is an honest day's work. Too bad you have to wait for the honest day's pay. But boooooyyy will it pay off.

hmm charddy a fella like u i thought u would strip down that engine eh and clean dat up have dat lookin fresh from the factory after all de rest of the car spanking white and clean.

lol.. There was no need. How ever she will be looking pretty goood when it comes out. This looks ugly bcuz we just drop it in.. greasy hands all over the aluminum etc. But i will fix it up.

Besides they need to make sure it works first

could have fired it up on the ground.

Yea, I could.

Seems we have a winner,

Best Build
Cleanest engine (if he cleans it)

Sunday May 3rd

lol don't know bout May 3rd.lol The amount of money i have to spend still to get this done.. hitting home too hard! (no fastcash offers please )

Anyways.. Small update over the weekend. Got the body harness tidied up (Still need more tidying in the future but for now it good) although i didn't hook up a battery to test it. I believe everything should be in order. I hope.

Installed my drive shaft. Anyone doing this swap into a mk3 should note that the R154 gearbox has a special drive shaft. The splines of the shaft to the gearbox is bigger than the W58 gearbox. And also its longer than the automatic drive shaft. So yes.. you NEED a R154 drive shaft to do this. (Ironically though the size of the splines on the automatic trans for the 1JZ are the same as the r154.. its just too short!)

Sounds like a lil bit of work eh?.. lol that's it. You would be amazed how much time them ting taking.. it does amaze me.

Looking to start the engine for carnival No camp this year.
