2jz swap

Hello guys I want to do a 2jz motor swap in my tacoma truck what parts would I need to complete the swap or if you know anybody who would know and point me in the right direction thanks

Awesome! The potential of these engines are incredible. I'd like to get a 1975 280Z and install a 2JZ in there....another thing for the bucket list

Good luck!

 

There is another member who has done the swap and posted a lot of information about it here

 

Be easy if your a prerunner.

However you have the wrong tranny. So that sucks.

2jz bolts right up to a tacoma r150 with a r154 bell housing.

Then it's just custom motor mounts. $1200 wiring harness. New drive shaft. Figure out the intercooler.

Not too hard.

 

He could build his own harness way cheaper. But 1200$ might be a drop in the bucket after he collects all the parts he needs for the 2jz. Those motors are really expensive...

 

It's about a 4-6k swap.

Id buy the new harness. Converts is to plug n play with the current harness so all accessories work as normal and puts a OBDII port in it as stock. Worth it for a clean install to me.

 

Hey man, I've been doing some research for the same project and the 2jz-gte bolts up to the w59 manual transmission with a bell-housing from a w58. Someone correct me if I'm wrong What transmission do you currently have?

 

Will a new plug n play harness really make a JDM 2jz work with stock OBDII on a 1st gen? would it be running the stock tacoma Ecu? I am also planning this build for the near future but not really sure how the wiring aspect of this build would work

 

I just saw a 240Z with a turbo LS motor shoehorned into it.

 

Yes and no. You can run a 2jz off a 5vz motor ecu. By tacoma harness I mean the cab harness for all the accessories and yes it'll work with the obdII port.

I wouldn't run the w59 personally on a 2jz. R series is much stronger.

 

Would a r151f be a direct bolt on replacement to the w59 in terms of mounting it to subframe, connecting it to transfer case, and shifter components? and by chance will a 3rz ecu run a 2jz, or what are my ecu options if i want to keep obdII and cab internals wokring. could i use the stock jdm aristo ecu(which most engines come with) on the trucks stock internals/obdII port. My end goal here is to have a CA legal swapped 2jz in my 95.5 2.7L tacoma. almost impossible by the looks of it, i am in no rush however

 

Dude the only ecu that runs a 2jz...is a 2jz ecu.

Click the link I posted. It'll intergrate the cab harness perfectly. Just gotta pay for it.

An r151 bolts to a 2jz with a r154 bellhousing.

Custom motor mounts, tranny mounts and crossmembers will need fabbed. No matter what. And custom drive shafts.

If your 4wd you'll need a rear sump oil pan too.

Fitting the radiator is impossible with a mechanical fan too.

 

IIRC an A340E auto trans will also bolt to a 2JZ, atleast that's what I read on the supra forums

 

Yes it will. An a340a is used in supras.

 

What rear end did you use on your build ?

 

Just possibly stepping into this arena... and I have a few questions I need answered without digging through 30 pages of someone else's build thread.

W59 won't bolt directly on i take it... but what kind of work will it take?! Or is it just easier to swap to a different one? I am 2wd and wanna stay that way.

Also... I see 1000s of mount kits to swap a 2jz-gte... is the ge mounting any different?

And finally... all the harness links seem to be dead... anyone know where to find it?!

Long story short... I might have just had an IS300 dropped into my lap with a solid engine... so I have pretty much a complete donor car if I'm gonna do this.

 

An r trans’ll only run $250-450

 

Just get an r tranny. W59 is lame

Ge vs GTE mounting wise is the same.


I personally don't think it's worth it for a GE engine...but have at it.


contact tweak'd performance for a harness. They have done it in the past, it's not on their site anymore but they will do it. Probably be around 1800 bucks for that alone.

 

You literally just got done saying you can run a 2jz with a 5vz ecu
