Hey Guys,
Posting this on behalf of my Brother. Im helping him swap a 1jz into his s14. The project is ongoing, and the swap probably wont happen until he has everything he needs to do it.

Being a AVID 1jz owner myself (755whp 1jz supra) it was a no-brainer for us to choose the 1jz motor. I literally know these motors inside and out. He has always shown interest in my 1jz, so when I finally convinced him to buy a 240 (has liked those more than my supras) we knew we would eventually do a 1j swap.

This is his car as he bought it; 1995 240sx. Manual swap. Came with K2 coilovers, Megan Ruca, mirrors, 1-piece DS. about it.

When He first picked it up:


First thing we did was replace his leaky rack:


random Shot:



Fast Forward about 4-5 months of dailying I came upon a sweet deal of a 1jz from a buddy. So I told him to jump on it.

The plan is to run stock twins, r154. simple, cheap and reliable. Plan Is to tear down the 1jz, replace every gasket and seal, clean, paint, ceramic coat to make it look presentable, and keep it going strong.

The day he picked it up:


Immediately got it to the shop and on a stand:


Stated to pull the twins off:


Twins off.



pulled the intake side off with harness:


1 day down:


pulled off the valve covers, solvent tanked them, then sand blasted the insides with the baffles off.


Picked up a y-pipe:


Front turbo was leaky so we sent them out to get rebuilt. WHile that was getting done we ceramic coated the Hot side stuff. its hard to keep a car cool here in AZ.
