Project Blue - From KA-T to 1JZ

I figure I share my latest project my 95 240sx with a 1JZ.. so lets start from the beginning shall we?

Here is how the car looked when I first got it





A little rough on the outside, but the interior was flawless, that's all I really cared about



Car was already turbo and it had a bunch of great parts, AEM V2, Precision 6262, custom long tube manifold etc, engine had a lose timing belt chain and needed a tune so off she went to the shop



After debating what to do (fix current motor or build a new one) I decided to go ahead and build a new KA24DE, wanted to see what I could do w/it so off the car and to the machine shop



Full rebuild .20 CP pistons / Eagle Rods / 264 Cams the works..

While the engine was out I figured it would be a good time to paint the car



Very happy with the final product, electron blue



Also got new wheels in the process and coilovers



After breaking in was completed, off to the dyno she went

440rwhp @ 21PSI on 93 octane

Car was a blast on the street

So after enjoying the car for a few months, a friend of mine decided that he wanted my KA-t so I traded him for his 1JZ.

Removing the motor



And is out



Last time I didn't get a chance to paint the engine bay, so I figured since is out again lets paint it to match the rest of the car



Much better! Time to tear into the 1JZ, stripped down to check bearings / rings and paint



Looking good, time to put the head / new headgasket on



Also I wanted a little extra BLING with this second build so I send out all the parts to be polished



At this point I was debating if I should build my R154 or buy one already done, after some searching I found this awesome R154 in the forums so I bought it



All new Marlin Crawler parts and looking fresh.. Time to assemble the engine



Half way there

New engine / transmission brakets



Motor semi-finish





Time to go in the car for a test fit



Like a GLOVE!

Still lots left to do Wiring / clutch / new brake lines etc hopefully 2 more weeks before she is on the road again, I will update the thread with more pics as I get them.

Finished putting the motor together with all of the accessories / belts



Welding the heater outlets



Is all about the details.. I hated the way the stock lines just ran through the front of the firewall so we hide them and ran braided lines instead



Ran new fuel lines on the correct side.. -8 for feed -6 for return



My friend is excited, almost done to get her started!



So haven't updated the thread in a while.. car is done (for the most part still gotta do AC) but she was out at the US Drift event this weekend, some pics from the progress

We decided to take the dash apart so we could relocate that ugly fuse box



the engine bay as it sits today





Top shot (crappy camera)



getting some attention at the US Drift event



Took the "best wild nissan" award at the show



Should have some video / better pics soon.

Looks good

Brake lines are cool, I debated something of that sort. Ultimately ran hard lines thru the firewall.

Keep it up
