Deftec's 2jz S14 (re)build

[Deftec]

Figured I'd share the most recent build the s14 is going through. Originally purchased in 2005, the car has been through numerous builds.

The first swap was a stock aristo 2jz, number 6 bearing went out, and rebuilt with a single.

Previous setup(This is on a greddy t78, made 562hp:

Me and a buddy got drunk one night, decided we were going to repaint the car...Found out we were in WAY over our head once I found out the car had been wrecked in the rear before I purchased it:


My buddy repainted it in his garage over the winter. BMW Jet black with bronze pearl:

As you can see, engine bay will need quite a bit of TLC.

I destroyed 5 r154's, including one with every billet piece Marlin offered for them, decided to throw a powerglide in that I had sitting in the garage.

New(ish) setup
JE .020 pistons
Stock rods
All ARP hardware
Cometic headgasket
Crower 272's
Crower 1mm oversized valves
Crower retainers/springs
Knock off exhaust mani
Precision 6766
ID 2000's
A1000 pump
Powerglide with ATI supercase, 5500 stall

The car made 652hp, 538ftlbs on 28psi. Couldn't crank it up much more due to ignition issues. Tune was fairly conservative also. This was done on a dynojet.
On the R154 it trapped 138mph several times.
The powerglide had the car consistently running 10.4-10.6, trapping 130mph.
3 back to back slips/runs, ignore my fast reaction times:

Engine is out, started with this:
https://scontent-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/484753_10151938914700973_301587316_n.jpg

Pulled a bunch of crap and repainted it:
https://scontent-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/1460943_10151969958945973_2083260322_n.jpg

Removed all the brake lines and will be converting over to a SS line, also added a line lock.

I was looking for a place to mount my fuse block and other items in the trunk, decided it needed some TLC also. This is the only pic I can find of the trunk before:

This is how it sits as of right now waiting for a fuel pump:

Long block is together for the most part:

https://scontent-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc1/998810_10151971853740973_778910076_n.jpg

Stripped the interior and removed all the OEM wiring. Putting in a painless kit. The engine harness was redone by Tweak'd, after it had been hacked up by two previous shops(they did work, but looked like absolute shit)

https://scontent-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/1381714_10151938915305973_740170935_n.jpg

Got the engine in this last weekend, also finished up most of the wiring. Just have to put in the engine harness and gauges.
I'm using the stock LSD with Driveshaft shop axles. I'm assuming it has a lot to do with gearing. It may drop more this next season as I'll be running a larger tire. I'll upgrade to a q45 setup soon.

Also got my gauges wired up and installed. Broadfield did this gauge setup for me:

Looking good man! Looks like you've been thru a lot of builds now. Interested to see your new numbers

[2muchboost]

Love the build bud. Was a bad ass car before will be even more bad ass when its done.

[turbo101]

Awesome build!

[Deftec]

https://scontent-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc3/1457688_10152045822840973_1824971384_n.jpg

Got a little bit done. Got the manifold from Double D tuning. I'll have the cams/etc together once I get my bucketless shims back.

[Sforteen]

what rear end/axle setup are you using?

trap speed really took a dive with the power glide... whats up with that?!

Nice build i like it!

[Deftec]

*edit, nvd, moved pictures to the first post for easier access*

[Deftec]

Got the new wheels/tires mounted and put on. Pushed it out to get some cleaning done:

[ATLspeed]

Did you kill your r154s while launching or from the regular abuse? I didn't realize it was just a drag car.

I'm shooting for 700hp (i know torque is what kills it) and was debating getting the 6sp or rebuilding the r154 with merlin parts

[Deftec]

It seemed to give out going from 2nd-3rd, for the first 4 times I broke (stock r154). The last one was built with all the Marlin parts and it broke on the same shift.

[Silviacraze05jr]

marlin has 1-2 shift pork, now driftmotion has the 3-4 shift pork available too. im sure their unit helps a little.

[Deftec]

I used both Marlins and Driftmotions. Along with all the other hardware. I didn't have any luck with those junk transmissions so I went auto. Some have had better luck however.

[Sforteen]

what exactly broke on the R154s?

Q45 rear end that ratio is gonna be doggy dont you think?

what fuel you run? I assume your using Ethanol being you have 2000cc injectors and are in the midwest??

Weld RTS wheels? i run the same on my car but 26in tire my cars black too...

[Deftec]

Car is now at my tuner's(Fusionworks racing) getting IC piping, exhaust/wastegate dumps, some electrical, and the tune. Should hit the dyno Friday and go testing next weekend for IFO. Also got the sideskirts/lip painted and on.

[Sky80]

What wheel/tire specs you running in the rear?

[d_nice]

good build man have fun

[Deftec]

Car is finally done and running. Hit 700+hp on this dyno. Tried running at the track and shelled a set of DSS axles on launch, so haven't got any times or MPH to figure what it's really putting out for power.

D4KV7dMYReg

Wheels in the rear are 15x8, 5.5BS...Wish I had gotten a 6.0BS, have to run a little negative camber for clearance right now until I can get the fenders pulled out.
I also broke the end caps off my sideskirts on the burnout.

[bova17]

Tie that monster down damn, it almost took off. sweet though

[2muchboost]

Glad she is back in action....kuddos my friend kuddos

[Deftec]

I can assure you it was tied down as tight as we could safely do it. This car hates that dyno for whatever reason.

[Sforteen]

what did you break on the DSS axles? i almost bought a pair but went with stock R32 GTR axles and modded the subframe to fit a R230 rear end.

Are you using the bigger q45/z32TT hubs?

[Deftec]

The inner cup.

Got a skyline setup from BigDaddy... and took it out last weekend. Ran a 9.4 @ 148mph. Left on the foot brake and 2psi lol. Can't wait to try the transbrake and 18psi.

[Flicktitty]

Car's rollin out bud! Good numbers.

[2Slow40]

Last time I saw this car it had a KA and was sliding around parking lots. Times have changed.

Very nice work man.

[Sforteen]

nice, making some power.. you said a buddy gave you a skyline setup?? are you referring to the rear end and axles? Big hub GTR stuff i'm assuming??

[turbo101]

Very nice build! Are those 275/60 on the back?
What size and offset for the front wheels?

[Deftec]

Added a big ricer wing and parachute. Car is almost legal aside from certification and passes(still 100% street legal). Made 9.40's most of the summer/fall consistently. Now that winter is here, it's time to go to a stroker set up and go fast.

[2muchboost]

Awesome just Awesome! I would love to see peoples faces when you drive to the grocery store with this thing to pick up some milk. The motor flat out sounds mean.

[Sforteen]

why not just upgrade to a better turbo?

[Deftec]

It's a good turbo, I'm just not running the amount of boost where it's efficiency range really is. I'm also sticking to a 76mm for certain classes. Anything bigger bumps me into outlaw.

[skimmpysb]

were you at import alliance this past weekend?
