Love it, GE prices just went up

Valuable info here, Brandon is an amazing resource! Most people just cover the 1k HP 2j stuff. But the majority of us are interested in the sub 600hp builds. Great video 👍👍

Steph Papadakis put up some of the best JZ videos, where he fully tears down AND builds a 1JZ and fully explains all the torque specs as he goes along with a lot of the other technical details. Check out Papadakis Racing’s channel anyway, Steph is super knowledgeable and a great guy. He also tears down and builds up the new Supra engine, but that’s outside the scope of the JZ stuff. Cheers!

Brandon is a bloody legend, best tandems I had at BTTF8 were with him.

I really enjoy having a Utah based drift man to follow that is doing it for the love of drifting. I really enjoyed Brandon’s abandoned airport video back a few years ago.👍🏻😆👍🏻 I can’t thank Aaron enough for creating drift week. Grass root straight up fun has seemed to be dying. Hopefully all that hell some of you guys go through on drift week is known to be great content for us to watch. I myself have been so excited to watch all of it. ✌🏼&❤️

Been running a gs300 2jz from junk yard for 6 years boosted with gte headgasket making 415hp at 14psi. Been In a total loss wreck and now running in an is300

When i spoke to Kenneth Moen, for his E46 2jz he ran in FD, the solution for the power steering was the reservoir placement, to get it to have a good flow path down to the pump, so you eliminate the risk of the pump having insufficient access to oil.

Somethings you can try with the power steering pumps is, 1: change the pulley size to reduce the speed. ( since you're high rpm with lots of wheel work / feed back pressure it could be cavitating ) 2: pull 2 vanes from inside, opposite each other to reduce some pressure. ( works with some offroad stuff so not sure how it will work for drift though )

I’m a lexus master technician, problem with the power steering is the screen in the reservoir gets clogged. I would install a new one. You can clean it with brake cleaner but it takes a while.

He sounds like aaron but more nice

Seeing how engine prices are now, i feel stupid for scrapping the non-vvti 2jz-ge i had when i pulled it for my 1j vvti swap

Man, I love this video! So much great information. So sad nobody can afford JZ swaps anymore. Lol

I fitted a dual pass radiator with a pair off twin mondeo fans and run two oil coolers and it’s sorted my heat problem, never crossed 90deg on oil or water on the dyno for like 2 and a half hours on the dyno

Full 1jz factory workshop manuals can be found on a Russian Jz website, unfortunately no one has translated it yet.

I like the way this man thinks! Trust but verify with everything in life!

I wouldn't call it ghetto personally, that's borderline insult (glad he didn't take it that way). He is obviously very experienced and knows his way around. But this is great information and a great video, thanks fellas. 👌🏽

how did i know he was gonna be wearing gloves lol

Maybe this is a possibe idea for the power steering system, most systems with a larger pully for steering pumps might save them because when deleting ac etc smaller belt will always spinn the pump faster . So my guess is a bigger pully

Cute gloves!

I'm looking forward to that bearing replacement. I haven't driven alot in my CD009 swapped JZ but the friction bearing is kinda stuck in my mind. ... looking forward to lifting the transmission out one of these days.

Nailed it with the LS engine setups . Big dollars once added up

That intro was awesome!

I just bought a 02 is300 for $600 with 250k on it. Thinking about building the bottom end

Whelp glad I copped my 2jzge non vvti for 450 couple years ago

Thank you for the total nerd out!!!!!!!! Epic content!!!!!!!!!!

always love these videos. thank you so much

12:00 the same can be said about the SR20det

I'm not downing the JZ by any means, only pointing out that he wasn't entirely correct about not being able to make 700hp with an LS without a camshaft, in fact you could make 700hp with a late 4.8 that came factory in vans making 302hp with 243 heads, NBS intake, no AFM, only do valve springs, boost and make 700hp at the crank as long as you're lucky and it has enough wear and is an engine that has open enough ring gap, occasionally an engine will.have tighter than normal ring gap and will pop a piston top, at 700hp it should be ok. Of course a cam is going to make more power with less boat and isn't difficult or expensive to do but, yeah I get his point that yeah the JZ is a great engine. I have had a few Coyotes, I have a few LSs, I have a roller cam 351w...I am seriously wanting to get my first cheap as dirt GS300 with a 2JZ-GE to play with, I have seen a 3GSE blacktop Beams engine with a 6 apeed for not horrible money from an Altezza RS200 for sale recently I think might be cool too, maybe to put in an beater mini-truck. I am really stoked to keep hearing more about 2JZs, I would love to get a 1JZ too. I would like to play with a 1FZ-FE 4.5L I6 from a Land Cruiser to turbo and have a "big block" JZ in a fast car.

I still have ac compressor on my 1.5jz supra still have issues 😭

Good Engine :)

Put an A/C delete idler pulley where the A/C compressor is.

Can you ask him to expirement with the BMW ZF Transmissions for the rest of us in the car community 🤣

@4:21 did you have restrictor in the power steering line , maybe to much pressure without one and destroys the pump ?

12:37 Thats true about the LS V8 but factory sealed Coyote V8's can reliably handle 7, 8, 900+ horsepower with just fuel and boost.

Cd trans problem not changing into 5th could also be the gk tech shifter set up a few of us here have had the same problem and also reverse was really hard to find. went to serial 9 shifters and problem fixed

I wish he spoke on which 2JZ/1JZ are interference engine

Hi I need the link to your garage ,,,in need of some engine parts

Sheesh so much knowledge love it great vid

We gotta get a video like this with Ryan literal on rb’s

I actually just bought a GE with a blown HG

Love my 2jzna-t

Want a factory sealed 1j/2j, goto toyota and order one. And yes, you can still get them new. Same goes with most of toyota's performance motors. You can also get r154's new from toyota.g

So anybody know the reason for everyone’s power steering issue? I really want to build a is300 for txsl but I don’t want to deal with those problems.

Yessir 1.5JZ loading for my IS300 fuck them import prices

How do you keep the 1jz first gen cool

Hi, is it possible after a single turbo conversion on a stock 2JZGTE engine the IACV fails? I have a really bad boost leak and my tuner says it's my IACV. I did a boost leak test and everything seems fine. I also checked the wastegate and that too is fine. What can cause that kind of boost leak if all plumbing is good?

so much info

Best bit of advice, don't listen to Facebook "Mekanik's"

Would a factory 4bt cummins diesel turbo work for the 2j I think it's 62 mm?

Lol horsepower per dollar, come to Australia we get rb30 for slabs of beer bolt turbos on em and make easy power the oil pumps not a drama in the 30.. heard enough story’s of rod knocking jz and they cost a fortune here

TAURUS fan. Thats OG S chassis mod.

COPPER SPRAY

What was the problems with the CD and 1JZ? Haven't heard the problem indepth yet, just complains

Get yourself a Walton Motorsport manifold nothing comes close

Wicnik owns

just watch the skid factories break down of the JZ's and learn facts about the JZ motors with all 4 next to each other and why they work and dont work when mix matched instead of 15yr old "internet data" NA 2j vvti is the only weak bottom end with the small rods.

Aaron asked where to get info: Wilbo666 for electrical stuff just google it. Been a huge help with my 1JZ.

hey !!!!! go check BALTIC SUPRA there a full video of is full systeme dat handle 1600 hp and 7. sec quarter mile !!!!!!!!!

you high on the v8 vs jz power for dollar...he was talking making an ls a high comp na build...nobody said we cant throw a turbo on an ls.

GTE head on non vvti GE block a good idea ?

Now you see why its goofy af to pull your ac off the motor 🤣🤣!

This thumbnail art was stolen from 101 Squadron without their permission. Not cool bro.

Who in here is from the "Ghetto"?

Delete this video bruh I own a sc300 I knew this info already
