Chuki the street sleeper build - 2jz

Hey guys, it's been 4-5 months since my build have started and I want to share
it with you.

Little story, I'm Patrick from Quebec (so be indulgent for my bad English ) I always wanted a 100% stock and clean s-chassis to start with so I can build it the way I want.

The plan/goal is:
~500 whp on pump gas
Reliable
the most sleeper possible
a car that I can take whenever and wherever I want

That's not going to be a show car by any mean, but a clean car for sure.
Don't expect a 4 inch drop and 195 tire on a 10 inch wheel, I'm not a fan of this.

In May 2016 I found the 'Perfect' car to start with:
1993 240sx
5 speed
no a/c , no hicas
99% stock (aftermarket radio )
Black with black interior
no winter driven
only 2 owners before me







After a little wax








October 2016 I found the r154 and a 2jzgte vvti




Then I start to clean it up

Tranny cleaned

Time to order some new parts

Jz bellhousing
Valve cover gasket
Intake manifold gasket
Belt, bolt, thermosthat, etc

Her is a video of me starting the engine on the floor to make sure everything is fine
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rzr4_3ogHrE

December 2016 taking the engine off

Don't wanna sound dumb, but is starting engines like that safe?
I didn't notice any cooling components hook up, looks sketch..
Sounds badass though lol.

Nothing wrong about starting an engine with no coolant for 45 sec

Great build. That is what I should have done to my 97 before I turbo'd the ka. I eventually put it back to stock and sold the car.

Fedex




So this is it , the turbo I will be using:

Borgwarner s257sx-e
Its a 57mm with a 1.22 A/R
T4 twin scroll

for some of you my turbo is very small , but IMO its gonna be perfect for my goal , 500whp on pump , Really fast spool




Engine is clean and refreshed , waiting on my clutch kit to go in

I like the idea of a smaller turbo on a 2jz, the response will make it a weapon on the street and a ton of fun to drive. Peaky power bands are kinda lame IMHO

Wow, the car looks amazing! Pretty jealous of you finding one in that kind of condition. Exactly what I wanted to start my build with years ago, but I had to settle for one that was slightly modified. Excellent work so far- looking forward to seeing more!

Awesome build! Did you tune it yet or are you planning to? I'm curious how tuning the VVTi will be. Did the transmission have any clearance issues in the tunnel? And does the S13/14 take a front or rear sump 2JZGTE?

No transmission cleanrance issues at all , and you need a front sump Jz to fit a s-chassis
