New project, 1jzgte vvti powered 180sx.

[sr20s14zenki]

Well folks, im spreading the word of the JZ and doing another swap. This is for a beyond member, who im sure will chime in eventually. Figured i would post pics as we go, and kinda give people an idea whats involved in these swaps. This particular swap will be a 1jzgte vvti, from a JDM jzx100 chaser.

So on with the starter pictures

Engine bay before removal of sr20. This sr20 was already making around 320 whp, and she was pretty potent....





Engine out, and on the floor. Damn im good.




Clean slate....ahem...pressurewasher soon...




I pick up the vvti engine next week, so i will post details as the install progresses. Thanks for looking !!!!

Setup is already sold, being picked up tomorrow.

Evan, do they make a swap kit for an s13 with a 2j and v160? Or even a 2j with a t56? I can't seem to find a straight answer anywhere.

[gretz]

I'm pretty sure they do... tranny tunnel clearancing and an adapter plate are needed...

[sr20s14zenki]

Gotta pound out tranny tunnel. V160 mounts to 2jz out of the box as it was intended for that. You would need to mod the cross member for v160 vs r154 which wouldn't be all that bad. Maybe the v160 will fit without banging. The r154 is practically swimming in all the room it has in the s14

Honestly the talk of the r154 shifting shitty imo is bull. I like it just fine. Just use it.

Yep.

Was just letting Kino know that there is really no reason to use the v160....unless hes planning on making over 700 whp haha. In that case, use a turbo 350 LOL.

Well I know the v160 bolts up to the 2j, just wanted to know if they made direct bolt in kits for it in an s13 or if would even fit in the tunnel. I also want to know if anyone has used a viper spec t56 with a 2j. If I go through with the swap I don't want an r154 because I have seen what happens trying to bang gears in a 480hp supra with it.

could check that out (=.

v160 i bet would fit the tunnel. That would be much more simple. By this picture, it appears that yes the v160 is larger in diameter, but not leaps and bounds. Mostly longer. Like i said, the r154 allows quite a bit of room in my s14. I can drop it out easier than i can an sr20 tranny...must be the placement of the engine, or the shape of the bell housing.

heres the comparison of v160 and r154

Rubbing my hands together as we speak. So excite!!

[sr20s14zenki]

Engine arrived, spent some time simplifying/eliminating useless crap. Got rid of automatic tranny, and ac pump. Next need to deloom harness and pull crap out of it, re-rout e some wires, and run a sub harness for the use of factory relays in the s13 wiring. Should be FUN FUN FUN!!!

Side note, im so glad to be working on my own again....its so much more zen.

[gretz]

Yep, have all the pinouts. Just need to find some missing connectors. It appears on the jzx100, the jerks in japan unplug the body harness from the ecu rather than cut it so i can use it. Apparently the connectors were used on a few different cars, including hondas, camrys, etc. The hunt is ON!! Starting with PNP.

[JZS_147]

Yeah its a pretty standard connector. I have an Fcon 1JZ-VVTi patch harness you can buy from me if you want? That'll give you all the connectors.

[sr20s14zenki]

Up to gretz if I can't find it at pnp
