Friend has an SC300 5 speed

for quite sometime hes been working/saving to do a swap. Well after months of saving/searching it arrived from japan

On our way to work on the car he decided he'd throw some signs

Swapping the NA out for TT power

In with the new, a JDM Toyota Soarer 2.5TT (1JZ-GTE)

most recent, we are taking a few days off as he had homecoming game/dance to attend this weekend

this swap is nowhere near as simple as people make it out to be but it wasnt too bad for my first Lexus/Toyota swap. Will update this with finished product and maybe some video. Would like to thank my friend bobby for allowing me the opportunity to help him with this project and to say that there are few hard working teenagers out there like this kid...that car he bought/paid for, the swap he bought/paid for and all the mods on the car he bought/paid for/installed himself...good job

tomorrow we are upgrading the front brakes to LS400 calipers and cross drilled/slotted rotors

i was always under the impression dan that the 1jz motor was a single turbo and the 2jz was a twin turbo?
i know alot of 240 guys like to throw the 1jz block into there car and i always thought it was single turbo
although that sc is definetly gonna be a beast

with Toyota products anything with an engine code ending with GE is Naturally Aspirated while GTE lets you know thats its a boosted application

1JZ-GTE = 2.5L Twin Turbo Inline 6...it revs a little higher and is said to have the better flowing head of the two. Developed by Yamaha

2JZ-GTE = 3.0L Twin Turbo Inline 6...its got the bore/stroke the 1jz doesnt have yet uses the same turbos. Also Developed by Yamaha

you have to make sure you dont get confused see the 240 guys can do a 2jz but its far simpler for them to do an RB25DETT or R26DETT. To do an RB swap into a 240 they have to source a Skyline GTS transmission as its RWD while the GTR is AWD. In the Nissan engine code world DE lets you know thats its NA while addit a T or TT tells you not only thats its boosted but how many are used.

RB25DETT = 2.5L Twin Turbo Inline 6

RB26DETT = 2.6L Twin Turbo Inline 6.....use a pretty trick Intake manifold with ITBs

it runs but we have a few wiring changes to make, add gear oil, put the front end back together and hood

NeonDan · 10-06-2007, 11:28 AM

i try to stay versed on the imports, when you loose touch it makes it harder to be competitive. On a side note my roommate got Diablo Chip and handheld....all installed and ready to go hes loving it just gonna have to let the novelty wear off before i start playing with the tune
