update NA-TT swap

had time today and worked on the Supra

- GE engine out, W58 off the engine
- going to resurface flywheel, and cleaning the engine bay tomorrow if I have time
- still waiting on my TRD mounts and clutch (there is no such thing as overnight parts from Japan)
- going to continue project Monday, some ECU work, TRD lsd, and fuel pump.

I'll keep you guys updated on the work

How much does it cost to convert n/a - turbo?

figo
07-18-2007, 05:38 PM
from a financial point of view, its better to sell the NA and buy a TT... but thats no fun, my plans from the start was to buy NA (with the right options), drive her for a few years and do the swap.

I rather do the work and have some fun :D

Supra parts arent cheap (and mostly have to ship everything), you are looking at quite a bit of money. You need the basic like fuel pump, FMIC, engine mounts, exhaust etc (trust me le list goes on). It will all be worth it in the end, and its great to work on a car with no rust, clean bay, clean underbody.

Now after all of this is done, Im considering building my other 2jz with a single set-up, but thats not going to be right away, I'll have a little fun with this one first.

I'll add up all the receipts at the end and see how much it all cost me. :evil:

07-18-2007, 06:25 PM
If you can squeeze it budget wise, you might want to consider going to a small single now. Much more space to work with in that bay, and it dumps all the factory twin related junk (ie a bazillion extra vacuum lines & pointless sequential related stuff).

I'll keep the twins for now, but yeah it would clear up some room for sure. if I have some money left, I promised my girl we would go on a trip, so I kinda want to have ~1500$ left.

I dont live in Orleans anymore, bought a place with the wife in the south/east end of town.

Of course I'll come out and play Mehdi, we will get a cruise one friday... I always wanted red doors anyway. Im still waiting on some parts but its giving me time for other projects.

I'll keep posting pics to let you guys know whats going on.

My Supra is a 97, and I will tell the insurance its a TT. I've spoken to lawyers about this and both of them recommended to get it appraised.

I dont think many in Ottawa/Gatineau have done this NA-TT(vv ti) swap. Its not that hard, actually is fairly easy, beside expensive parts and waitting on other people's mistakes, I would do this swap again.

also, when I was actually on vacation and would of received my parts when planed, I would be done now. Of course 2 weeks was a little joke, when taking on a project you must have patience.

The more I work on her the faster she will be done (obviously). For a couple of weeks I havent even touch the poor thing I was too busy. Now Im putting more time into her, the only things that hold me back are the little mods/fabrications I have to come up with and finding the parts around town. Im pretty much ready to drop her in and start the exhaust set-up. I want to get on the road before October.

See in the old days when there once was a supra, mx6 (green), mx6 (red) transformed into a Rio at one point, lebanese hatch-vic, and WRX. They used to be big shit disturbers and taking pics up on hills and get blinded by a cloud of dust that you couldn't see infront of them on a curve when they knew the car infront of them was only a couple of feet infront ahead but the fear of an unexpected visitor 500m above see level made them piss their pants.

Toyota told me it was in Japan, about 2 weeks ?!?! fuck that! Its better than calling the states Toyota dealerships and picking up one up in NY somewhere.

On the hose it actually says "VOLVO" right beside the "2JZ" print on the block LOL

Now that I spent all day fixing my friends car, I'm beat and getting ready for bed, no time to work on my car :(

Which tranny are you using? I tuned a mk4 supra last year with a 2JZ and single turbo conversion. Put down 580whp but kept exploding transmissions. I think this year he put about 5 trannies through it.

figo
09-06-2007, 11:57 AM
no big updates, waiting sometime next week to drop her in the engine bay and connect fuel, driveshaft... I wish I had more news but I never have time to put in. Everything is ready to drop in. Cant do it this weekend, I have wedding all day sat and Sunday I have to many things to do around the house.

Im using the W58 tranny, until I explode it, then the V160. If the guy has gone through more then 2 its probably the w58, some guys in Cali ran them daily at 400whp but most cant take it more than that.

Is the guy driving standard or auto??

Tell him to get the v160 from the US, even tho its 4000$USD new, its worth the price if he is always changing tranny. OR the r154 tranny, but I dont think it bolts right up the the 2jz, not sure. I pretty sure the R154 went on the mkiii and 1jz's even then I would keep a w58 over the r154.

Tuning a 2jz single turbo isnt hard to pull off 600whp, with the right fuel pump, injectors, and a good 4" exhaust, some internal work, Ive seen Supras being pulled on 91 octane and get 675+whp and that being soft on everything using only 80% capacity of the set-up.

I read this thread in jealousy. Not only is the Supra my favorite car, but you're doing an awsome job at building it up!

Props!

Someday, someday...lol.

Yup, that was probably me working on my car :oops: (Huntclub & Conroy area)

lol

stock, not for long... :twisted:

She still has a few things when she will be all done (step 1 of project Supra) : FMIC/3"piping, 3"exhaust-turboback Greddy, intake, Autronic SM4 standalone, A-pillar dual pod with boost and wideband, HKS SSQV blow off valve, 255 fuel pump, TRD limited slip diff, TRD engine mounts with adapter brackets, RPS clutch and a bunch of other parts I have replaced (since Im already there) like wheel bearings, clutch release bearing, the oil pan was cleaned and modified to go in the mkiv cross member, oil return lines etc. just a bunch of little things that are done. Rather take the time and do it now since Im right there.

My advice is to take your time, do it right the first time bla bla bla, but I beleive that is how to work on something, there is always something to set you back (shipping, wrong parts, work...) If you need some help Dan, just give me shout, and I think we live pretty close to each other.

Just have little things to do like put the bumper back on, fluids, spark plugs, hood and a bit of tunning. I hope to have time this weekend to complete little things. I will let you know when she is on the road. The other day I sat in the car, its been a while and it felt good just sitting behind the wheel :D

It's nice to see someone actually doing a build right, and not cheaping out or trying to cut corners.

Your car will haul ass man.

I was in the Eclipse. Thanks Chris. Im obviously taking my sweet ass time but I dont put more than 3-5 hours a week working on her, sometimr in the summer I didnt even touch the car for days :( but Im replacing what needs to be replaced, so later down the road it wont bite me back in the ass.

It will be a little faster than the last time you took it for a spin.

We will see how the famous 2jz will hold. Its not like if something blows I will miss out on good riding weather. I would have all winter to fix it.

thanks Coady... I'll give you a shout if I need help, most of the work is done, just have to put parts back on, I was hoping to get it tuned and ready sooner but there was no availability until mid/end Nov.


That sucks Dan, I saw the pics, hope you get that 300 back on the road, if not, well.. time for some fun with that Nissan :twisted:

Mine is off the road aswell, really sucks.

I'll see you at the red light in May, Fred :twisted:
Stu you could come too, even though you broke my heart...

In all seriousness, I pretty much blew my turbo's so red lights may be questionable for me haha. Can't wait to see the results fred. What upgrades did you do during the swap? I think I remember you saying you wanted to keep it relatively stock for now, but you must have done a few things!

figo
11-17-2007, 03:32 PM
My first step is done. I have 3" turbo->exhaust, 3"intake/charge pipe, fmic, hks bov, walbro 255 fuel pump, TRD lsd, TRD mounts, RPS clutch, Autronic SM4 tuned at 15lbs. I'm thinking of putting about 350-400 at the rear wheels.

Next step is bigger brakes (I will also need rims to fit the brakes), suspension, rad and fan, put some fancy gauges.

After a while I will put in a single, exhaust (maybe 4"), cams, injectors, with the v160 tranny(will also change to lower gears). Maybe add another 255, depends on how much fuel I need and what turbo I'll be running.

Might take my other 2jz and build that one up (internals and all), lose the AC and keep the bare minimum. Dont know yet, but I have some options, I also have the AUTO tranny I could use and drop everything in a sleeper car.

I also did maintenance and replaced parts that werent necessarily broken, but I would be an idiot if I didnt do it.

11-17-2007, 03:57 PM
Sounds like it'll be pretty solid for next summer. It'll only leave you wanting more haha.
I was planning a build for this winter, internals and all, but I think I've decided to put that off one more season. This winter just some basics and cosmetics are in store. Some wheels, do some suspension work, full exhaust and up the boost a little along with some bigger brakes and better cooling especially since it decided to overheat on my last run of the season. Like I said, I need to check the condition of my turbo's, so I made replace them with something small, or even some more oems, and then next season start the build.

Post up the results next week!

11-17-2007, 04:05 PM
That sounds like a good plan. I guess we will have to meet up next summer Dan :D
