Learn something new about the JZ engines! Plus FAQ answered. 

*Aaron... This right here. You Sir do great "conversation interview/questionnaires" Some folks might not appreciate the talking videos but learning something is always great!*

When Toyota call Yamaha for help it turns out legendary collaboration. JZ engine, the LFA sound.

I have a stock 1j non vvti and I love it! Sounds so good, straight piped on 11psi in a s14 zenki

Soooooo from what I watched..... For the GE's: Port/Machine the head Rods/pistons Valve seals Timing belt NA-T setup

Most if not all videos about a JZ engine is just hear say. This video you can tell it's all from a person that has EXPERIENCE in owning and building JZ engine for a living.

I am so dang happy you made this video.. Every piece of JZ information you could ever need in one video, well done my friend!

I LOVE....LOVE how he mentioned changing the valve stem seals and i just got mine done for my daily driver.

Thanks, good information without researching forums for hours.

I loved this Aaron! You're a very good interviewer, I think your style in this video is something kinda fresh to the youtube automotive scene. I would personally love seeing a video just like this for LS's and RB's as well. Super informative content dude!

This is my favorite video of yours. I would watch these for hours

This guy was awesome. Thanks for making this video!!

I just finished my na-t sc300 this weekend!

This has convinced me that 1j swapping my is200 is a good idea. Was pondering the idea for a while, but this has me convinced

Great vid guys super informative. Can't wait to finish my s14 2jz project now. One again great video

love the part about transmission options. idk why but interchangeable builds fascinate me. seeing a race setup built from Easter egg parts is gold.

Zach at ECUMASTER is awesome man! He helped me start my 7MGTE engine in my Mk3 Supra 2years ago. And now he just gave me advise on how to setup triple fuel pumps for my 2JZGTE Mk3 Supra.

This is the perfect interview..much needed Info. Thanks

The intro at the end was awesome!

Thanks Aaron. Real information is hard to come by.

wow, been doing research for a 2j swap... so glad this video exists.

Wow this video is really great! No joke so many answers and so many great questions.

Sick sick info. Thanks for the upload. 🤙

so much knowledge! loving this

2JZ Master! Thanks I found this very informative

I've jumped on the emu ship thanks to all of Zack videos and n.america email response and support!! Was gonna go maxx ecu but their support was garbage. Thanks Zack!

the fireball question was the best!

Great video Aaron good talk,This video makes me happy to own a jz, i have a is300 2jzge vvti sportcross/wagon here in the UK lexus only sold them as a auto here i did a manual swap 2 years ago using a W58 out of a mk4 supra 2jzge non vvti, got really simple drift mods works quite well just not a lot of drift days or events round my way so seat time has been low makes it hard to get it set up and dailed in.

Love zach, love these videos and the way he answers questions haha

Awesome vid thanks for the clear and to the point info.

This is so helpful! What a guy!

Awesome breakdown!

the 'E' in toyota engine codes means it's electronic fuel injected, Zack is super chill, cool dude, knows his stuff well and is not ashamed to say he doesn't know something. some background on me, i work as a tech in a toyota dealership so i get to use that magic rtv and it indeed seals everything to everything. god i wish engine swapping was legal in belgium i'd so immediatly start on a boosted E36 1jz... my god.

I don't thumbs up videos often, but this one deserved it!

love the new interesting content Aaron! the vid with Feilding is cool too y'all!

Awesome content. Maybe more vids like this with an expert on each of the major popular drift engines.

Awesome video. Came upon a 02 is300 with a 2j vvti that a customer brought to us for a front wheel bearing. Was told dude was selling it. Offered $3000 and hopefully soon I'll own a sweet unassuming drift missle

This was awesome! Cheers

I have a '94 SC300 (2JZ-GE, 5-speed manual) with an aftermarket turbo (338 rwhp @ 13 psi). For years I was plagued by exhaust leaks between the head and manifold. I finally fixed the issue. Some of the studs had stripped out of the aluminum head and I installed Helicoils. The other issue was that the cast iron manifold itself was warped. It had to be removed and the mating face machined flat. I reinstalled the manifold with doubled graphite gaskets between it and the heads. I also fabricated and installed an 1/8" thick solid copper gasket between the manifold and turbo. Since those repairs I haven't had any further issues with the engine.

I've used 5w-40 Rotella T6 in the turbo miata for a year or so and it's great stuff. Also, it ended my hydraulic lifter tick with it being a heavier weight than the oem weighted oil.

This came from nowhere

I heard Jesus was involved in the engineering of the JZ motors! 🧖🏿‍♂️👀

Zach is no joke! Walking encyclopedia!

Please do the rb engine next, so many ppl are unaware of the capabilities of the legendary rb here in the states and it's annoying!

Amazing video!!

Amazing info

Great video!

This is an amazingly informative video and I appreciate the videos you do greatly. With that said, this is very hard to watch as you are interviewing him casting couch style and it is super awkward, as it appears Zach felt as well to a minor extent. My opinion for next interview style video you guys do like this maybe go a little more relaxed, between two ferns style type video, have a beer or two during, maybe smoke some crack. Anyways thanks for the upload!

Still so much love for this video.

I love that you forgot to intro, did one, then didn't edit it to be in the front haha. Lots of good JZ information though.

The 10 grand thing at the end was hilarious 😆

This was an awesome learning experience! Please do one on Rb20/25/26/30! Great questions and research

Great Video, I hope to see it also on ECU Masters Page if its not there already

Thank you, sir.

Hands down this is the best put together jz info I've seen. Like you were bringing up there is so much contradicting and confusing info ntm you just don't know if the source is reputable usually.

This is particularly cool because Im going from 1.5jz to 2jzge vvti too lol

Very good video, in fact I watched twice !!! Only thing I thought is not like you said was that the old twin turbo 1J is the one that has much chunkier rods than the VVTI therefore should be stronger than the VVTi

Very very good video.

lol that 10 grand remark at the end is exactly what I was thinking.

hi everyone couple quick tips for building jzs as I have done a few, stock bottom end 2jzge non vvti are great just chuck a gte oil pump and crank trigger setup on them with a gte inlet cam with the cam trigger and you have a 9.5-1 comp 500whp reliable every day setup. personally I throw a 1jz head on them and run around 22psi of boost on e85 as when you put a 1jzgte head on the comp goes over 10-1. but there's a 500+hp setup for under 1k. happy drifting

Yoooo! keep on doing these interviews with different engines

This is great. Love the channel, but do more like this one please

I learned a lot thanks

Yeah.. Zach buddy the Mk3 Supra is nice... Finishing up mine with the 2jzgte single turbo.

I'm currently running a TH400 trans with my 2JZ-GTE

Cressida and cresta had the 1j ...the predecessor to the 1j was the 7MGTE....i grew up with J spec cars....good video great questions

Zach is the man

Real good video

Haha I love the Tarantino style ending.

I believe the Cressida also came with 1j early 90’s

I have a question, he mentions the failure point of the connection rods to be at about 650 ft-lb, does he mean 650 ft-lb at the wheels? Or at the crank? I really like to have an answer on this one if possible.

this is an awesome video. . it needs a bump for new viewers

this is just great

love your videos man, keep this shit uh' comin'

JZ are really interesting engines, so well build. Will you do videos with the UZ and RB to ?

This video are awesome

Zack in the house yet again.

@03:29 Dropping GE vvti Redpills on us!! I pulled my GE vvti motor out of the JY for 600 bucks!!!

This is dope

Imagine if Toyota actually tried and developed a 3JZ for the new Supra...what could’ve been

Cool dude,

if this guy knows BP motors too I need that video like yesterday

I got a 1.5JZ single turbo 980hp in my 2007 honda s2000 perfect drifter high revs and better sounding engine and exhaust note.

Most of this is very good information but I do have a few things to add, #1 the Pistons on the vvti 2jzge crack on the ringlands over 350whp if you don't have a great tuner, #2 the ge's doesn't have oil squirters in the block so people that drift tend to want to run them because of the better oil pressure because of lack of them, #3 an the reason why 1jzge head's are so popular on 2jzge's is because the intake manifold front facing, #4 an this is very important the stroke on a 1j is 71.5 an a 2j is 86 so by All rights they shouldn't be interchangeable I've never verified this but I don't see how it's possible, #5 Journal 1 on the 2j is 23mm and the rest are 20mm an all the journals on a 1j is 20mm, #6 vvti is great for drifting but not so much for drag after 600hp or so it's not useful an that's why big hp guys don't run vvti an the big hp guys that bought vvti 2jzge's just because of there availability eliminate the vvti system an run non vvti cams.

Waaaaahhhhtututu for the past 20 years the 2jz has been the best tuner engine ever made hands down it sounds the smoothest until flames shoot, it takes hella boost without even looking inside the engine, it flows oil like it should it doest crack in the bore cuz its block is too hard and the greatest thing of all it still spanks ass till this day. Did I mention it’s the most reliable 600hp you can get I mean you can buy engines with 600hp stock and still have hella expensive problems on your hands

pls do this with bmw motors, my country has no jz's :( but great interview!

Wicked video You mention cams varying, do you know of any difference to the n/a non vvti JDM from a mk4 supra by chance?

HAHA love the ending you hear " im going to laugh when you hear everyones blowing up jz engine from revving them to 10k rpm lol haha.

You Need to make this a few part series. 1JZGTE GEN 1 GEN2 and same for the 2JZGTE GE VVTI AND NON . There are more pros and cons to having a Gen 1 1JZGTE than just saying get the vvti ... I have owned all the variants... since my JZX90 to my Crown Athlete VX I believe this was too quick ... like the guy was charging $10 a minute ... almost as frustrating of a video as its awesome.

"If you want to stop gravel, yeah" :D

I would like to see a video on his GE build !!! Got a is300 and wanted to swap but I’m not curious with what I can do with the GE 🤔

best video from you guys so far, any recommendations on 1jzvvti oil viscosity?

love this ! can you find an SR guru and do the same kind of video ?!?

2jz fse are floating around in southern Africa commonly in the 9th gen mark 2 ,Toyota mark 2 blit, progress, brevis etc.

Hahaha that's so true, CD009 swaps cost as much as a R154. Doing a CD swap for my 1JZ 😅

i got a mk3 its not a mk4 but it still rocks

How is he working the GE's intake and exhaust manifolds? Custom fab or is there some kit I don't know about that doesn't utilize the cross over intake ?

Any information as far as boosting a 1JZ-GE Non VVTI? I know it's not a very common boosted engine so I just wanted to see if anyone has done it and has any info on what would be interchangeable through the JZ realm as far as aftermarket parts goes for boost applications? Example: if I go single turbo NA-T could I use the same aftermarket turbo manifold from a 1JZGTE and it would match up to the head fine? I can't really find a whole lot of information on the 1JZGE Non vvti (1 Gen 1JZ )

Make a video like this but about SR's!

Aaron, love the videos but in all honesty you're asking all the questions we want to hear but the difference in audio volume, you being behind the camera versus with the guy, why not do a host and interviewer side by side shot, ask your questions where we can hear them. In the end they are your videos and I know you aren't afraid to get in front of the camera. Best Regards

09:36 - I have a R156 in my 2jz cressida, its comes out of the D4D Toyota Hilux :)
