Hi all, this is my 1st post here. Im a HD mechanic working in seismic acquisition as a vibroeseis technician (fix 20-80,000 pound vibrators believe it or not). I may disappear from time to time for work.

Bought this 1992 180sx hatch, without an engine, trans, and in many parts on July 20th.

Bought a 2JZ-GE and 2.0mm Greddy head gasket



Engine sitting next to car. Transmission arrives tomorrow.
Need R154 Bellhousing for 2JZ and clutch kit next.



T4 Flanged stainless manifold



Engine rebuilding





Mess on my work tables.



Turbo (67mm 0.84 a/r from driftmotion) and other parts




Bought a 5 lug conversion, ordered polyurethane bushing kit for the whole car and will be painting all the suspension arms



Engine re-assembled on stand, waiting for mounts.



Car parts on my living room table



Finally got my new set of mounts... 1st set i ordered scared me they looked too flimsy





Just after i dropped the engine into the car. Test fitting mounts etc



Bought S14 kouki front end, going +50mm over in the rears. Still unsure what colour im painting the whole car



Gold valve covers and fuel rail came out sweet



Painted most of the engine and its attached parts



Removed lower intake manifold, cleaned and painted






Re-building my R154. New seals, check clearances, cleaned, marlin crawler thrust washer upgrade



New air compressor - Going to buy a paint gun and spray the engine bay once im done fitting the engine.



Mishimoto radiator and cooling fans



I took the fans off the shroud, won't fit between the radiator and the engine the 2JZ is too long. I'm going to mount them as pushers in front of the radiator.

Here is the process of mounting the radiator and cooling fans.
There's a shot where i put the old man to work cutting flat bar =)









Tranny back together finally




Had to remove the engine and bolt the tranny up outside because it wouldnt fit any other way... No room to put the bolts much less turn a wrench!







Was this ever a tight fit... Maybe a half inch clearance to the transmission tunnel and 1 inch from head to firewall!!










This damn intake plenum took 30 days to get to me. Seller had shipped it to the wrong address initially...

GOT STAMPS?! 38 stamps holy shit?



Intake plenum mounted... 80mm throttle body on it's way now too. Once i get the tb and front end mounted i can do my intercooler and piping.




Next update will be some body work on the front end. Fitting S14 kouki onto S13. Going to try to keep the original body lines of the S13 and taper it subtly towards the S14 aggressive front.

Made some stainless steel lines. i'm considering moving the fuel pressure regualtor to the opposite side to clean up the engine bay.



Made a mounting plate for my new coilpacks. Im going to be ditching the dizzy and running the coipacks on an undecided standalone EMS

I ordered two sets, first were ebay and i think id be afraid to stand on them let alone put that into my car and drop a couple hundred ponies to the ground at 5000 rpm. I broken an engine mount once, wasn't pretty. Let's just leave it at "i had to change my hood".

So i ordered GetNuts from driftmotion. Haven't bolted the tranny on yet so i can't be sure how they fit yet.

As for wiring i printed the diagrams for the engine harness it's quite simple really. I think only 7 wires need power or ground, some switched ignition, etc... I'm going to run the battery in the trunk, weld in all the unused holes under the hood, smooth it out, and tuck the entire harness back into the car if i can.

Yes the bottom end is completeley stock. The head is too actually, minus the GReddy 2.0mm HG.

AndrePerras

I haven't read enough about it to come to a decision, but considering it because my turbo's inlet interferes with the coil's wire on the dizzy cap.

Flicktitty

Good call, looking forward to seeing how it progress, Did you do ARP headstuds? or stockers?

Nope i measured them according to the fsm. They're good, i didnt want to spend too much on this engine because if and when it does blow then i'll get a GTE

cchondro

Doing work man,

BiG MiKE86

Are you going with an aftermarket FFIM?

AndrePerras

Yes i had no choice, i couldnt close my hood with the stock IM unless i cut my engine mounts shorter or modified my cross member. I ordered one from xspower its in the mail now. Got a heat shielding lower intake gasket too. Unsure what tb ill use, ill see how big the flange is on the new plenum

Kez

Xs powers FFIM has good reviews with us over on CL. Some slight modification might need to be done but I'm pretty sure you know that.

But 550 injectors from TT supra and Safc you'll be in like flin.

Good luck man

AndrePerras

I ordered 800cc injectors to leave some room on the duty cycle. I won't stop boosting until i make 500 to the wheels. Going with a standalone also, unsure what system because that's a little far ahead for the moment.

On a side note 550 cc injectors are side feed they wouldnt fit the GE fuel rail is top feed =]

What is "CL"?

Kez

Lol yes I know there side feed but CL is ClubLexus

EnvyS13

nice build. Im liking the 2j

AndrePerras

Just got my aluminium mishimoto rad, cooling fans and shroud today. I think i'm going to have some clearance issues with the pulleys

AndrePerras

updated some pics, mishimoto rad and cooling fans.

Monday i should get my
intercooler and piping set with couplers
Aeromotive AFPR
mishimoto rad cap with temp gauge integrated
inline fuel filter -6an
power steering pump feed pipe for remote reservoir

later this week im getting injectors, pressure plate, front facing intake manifold, some other stuff not sure what

AndrePerras

Here's one for you flikitty i was checking out your tumblr and i saw you're a supra fan. This is my old mk4 supra tt i just sold to my dad earlier this year. He's 59 years old and bought a BPU Kit which we installed, did some gauge work, wideband etc... This pic is in the canadian rockies.

Why would you sell it to him? Why not just give it to him? Im sure he has given enough for you to be where your at today. Cant wait to see this thing come along though, looking forward to see this 2j do work

AndrePerras

You have no idea what happened in my life and my family.

No comment on this

Kez

Wow wow very nice supra any other pics

AndrePerras

Yeah sure i've got tons... Here's a few. I threw in a pics of my old 91 GTR also. That car was stolen from me in 2008.

Some of the pics have the original rims that came with the car, that was when i lived back east.
Rims are Work Equip 17x8 front and 17x9 rear +30,










Here's the GTR it was mostly stock except the suspension i had most of the nismo upgrades, like aluminium control arms, sway bars, coilovers, etc...

Rims are Sparco Crimson NS-II (discontinued) 17x9 all around dont remember offset

AndrePerras

Yeah i'm going to be repainting it also. The paint code is 1A1, and i was quoted 582$ for a gallon lol... Im thinking about painting my 240 the same colour as my old GTR or the supra. I love that colour...

AndrePerras

Bought a small HVLP gun to paint engine parts.
Here is a test on my oem intake manifold that i wont be using

Sprayed LC3U (Bark burgundy pearl metallic) a vw corrado colour (Had a corrado vr6 earlier this year too, sold it fwd sucks balls)

AndrePerras

Turns out my next load of parts wont arrive until the 28th

If this thread gets enough attention i'll put together a swap guide, including prices and sources etc...

AndrePerras
