1jz drift s13 build...

[otaku64]

since i've been out of the game for some time now, what better way to come back than with a new cage, some gold, and what some will call a superior motor! i'll always love sr20s =)

[Saskacer]

Looks amazing so far! This going to be a full out track car, right?

[otaku64]

thanks guys!! yes it'll be a straight track car. street driven, but only to get to events and everything.

thanks again!

[tt99ol]

thats a sick setup you got goin on there
i knew a couple guys with 1j's back in the day
most perfect drift engine ever
get some vids up i wanna hear it

[otaku64]

well, after countless sunrise-welcoming nights and tons of help from everyone, she's finally back on the street looking gangster, not ghetto (with stock 15s and no sideskirts on an aggressive kit =p) and sounds even better. this is one of those moments i could say i'm high on life (or maybe it's driving around all day without exhaust gaskets). so now she's back at the shop ready for an oil change, some side mirrors, and a high flow cat. the first event will hopefully be club loose followed by drift nirvana on sept 28th.

[otaku64]

first event! fell in love with the car all over again, the motor feels nice, i didn't have a tach so really couldn't push it (haven't even confirmed a rev limiter)...other than that, great time driving. but of course it wouldn't be an event unless i lose a front bumper =D

next stop: summit point for drift nirvana on 09.28!

[Antihero983]

that's one fucking sick car.....

my only gripe is the silvia conversion. shoulda kept it 180 gangsta.

regardless, shit is ill!

what did you paint the cage with?

[96Turbo]

me like da straight 6 turbo sound! looks awesome. How does the weight of a 1JZ compare with the RB25...any idea?

[Modrified]

great pics. keep'em coming. hehe.

[Grenade180sx]

i dont know exact numbers but it has to be relativly close to a rb25 which is around 630lbs with trans.. if your running a R154 it is a heavy ass trans. the W58 is like a SR or KA

[Grenade180sx]

are you running a Pusher or puller setup with your fans?

[96Turbo]

dual pullers. you can see them in a few pics....i need to figure out how to run pullers. pushers suck

[Grenade180sx]

dual pullers. you can see them in a few pics....i need to figure out how to run pullers. pushers suck

ehh my buddy is running two 14inch pushers from kragen and that shit works great! hes rb25 as well :) just a t67 instead of that pos stockie

more pics!!! and VIDEOS!! LIKE SOME INCAR VIDEO :)

[SpuGen]

IMO. Turn the current up on the welder so that the welds actually do something. Sure wouldn't trust that cage in a crash.

[Deftec]

Glad to see you made it over here. You got my opinion on the other forum:D

[otaku64]

added a video and pics from drift nirvana! great event, lotta rain so this is the only salvageable video we had, but we did take home a 3rd place trophy...not bad for the first event!

some action on Flickr - Photo Sharing! (http://flickr.com/photos/powerzamcam/2905862697/)

- sal

[96Turbo]

looks like ur burnin some oil there on deceleration. other than that it sounds great and slides nicely ;)

[mondojackal]

indeed. sounds amazing. i think the 1j is the best sounding straight 6 coming from japan. hands down better than the 2j or any of the rb series. well done!

[landins13]

im looking into doign this swap... the only thing i have been trying to figure out is the exhaust. How do you have the exhaust run so that it still runs out the back on the driver side?

[96Turbo]

^^^^ w w w w wait......

you mean to tell me you've got everything figured out to do a 1jz swap

but ur stuck on how to route the exhaust piping?!?!

n**** please

[Saskacer]

How is the wiring on a 1jz swap?

[SleepR 240sx]

Exhaust is chassis dependent...for the 1j just fabricate a pipe to cross over and meet the exhaust...solved

Great looking car and swap...hope to see you tearing it up

[otaku64]

the exhaust was easier than you'd think since the downpipe has a slight curve, it's actually straighter than a stock s13 chassis. we used a subaru midpipe we had laying around to complete the midsection plus 2 resonators so it's super quiet!

posted some pics of getting squeaky clean at the bay wash! we're getting ready for the speedlounge speed junkie's track day on sunday 10.19 at etown...

http://www.powerzamcam.com/blog/

see you there.

- sal

[landins13]

my whole issue with routing the exhaust under the trans is that i want to use the apexi n1 exhaust i have on the car and my car sits too low to really be running anything lower then my transmission.

[landins13]

^^^^ w w w w wait......

you mean to tell me you've got everything figured out to do a 1jz swap

but ur stuck on how to route the exhaust piping?!?!

n**** please


ive got a 91 supra 1jz;s are great motors, really not all that complicated, and if you take the time to research and ask questions you can figure out how to put any motor in any car. Id rather ask a legit question then sit on a high horse and keep f*cking things up worse for myself.

[driftrkp]

nice car man what mounts did you end up using ?

[otaku64]

nice car man what mounts did you end up using ?

thanks, we used ruckus-racing mounts/driveshaft...they are on zilvia so check them out!

and just so you know, 5lug and real offset is next...

Sick build man keep up updated!

[otaku64]

sooo, the season is coming to an end...i'm sad, betty's under cover, but at least it'll give me time to do what everyone has been thinking (and some of you have said)...

go 5lug and get real offset wheels. yay! now i just have to find the right ones...hmm, any suggestions? thinking about a set of te's since they're getting cheaper or a set of work equips. i just can't stop looking at wheel pics!

uploaded some more pics to the gallery and an awesome lexus meet...

jesus wtf are you thinking

[pr0ject TRUENO]

yea. ill second on what is ruckus contact info

apparently ruckus is no longer making mounts from what i heard

[Grenade180sx]

that is no good then. because thee only other swap mounts is tech2 and they want 1300 for theirs.

[playastarkz123]

Great build otaku, not sure if u no tony from pride but he's in the process of doing this same swap. I sent him a link the this thread just in case he runs into any trouble he can ask you for answers

How do you like the 1JZ so far for drift? Compared to the SR or KA or whatever you used previously? I was thinking about entering a few beginner drift events this season with my 1JZ s13.

[otaku64]

the motor has some very nice potential and hopefully it'll live up to the reliability of the series. i haven't had tons of seat time but loved it in the one big event i was in. so you could imagine my anticipation for next season =)

well there's a TON of coverage from the clubloose weekend killer a couple weeks ago. i only made the saturday runnings and ended up tearing a rad hose so i'm looking forward to the clubloose east coast bash on may 30 & 31.

there's a bunch of great videos from the entire weekend on the blog: Video | powerzamcam | bloglife (http://www.powerzamcam.com/blog/category/video/)

i also have a fire system to install and you'll notice i cut the exhaust tip (not for the haters but i don't want to damage the turbo/manifold if i rub the wall =p)

[otaku64]

what a year! i accomplished the single goal i had one year ago which was to drive to and from the track for nearly every event spending minimal cash (no trailer or hotel). thanks to clubloose (http://clubloose.com/clubloose/index.html) opening the etown track every month and george's amazing work on the car, that was possible and this turned into the best drifting season ever! we also met some awesome people that i look forward to seeing next year, even had the pleasure of crashing with one, check out the left rear quarter =D. i patched the rear bumper up with some left over front bumper parts haha. funny thing is the last event i broke a stud and destroyed the rest of the front, also the stock twins are pretty much done so maybe that'll be all for the off-season, check the blog (http://www.powerzamcam.com/blog/)for winter rebuilds. well thanks to everyone for a great year! here are some pics from 2009...full gallery on flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/powerzamcam/sets/72157605868856875/):

Nice setup, now change out those sucky turbos, get a stand alone and a minor fuel setup and crank her up to what shes made for!!!

[cbcustoms]

Looks amazing man..Can wait to start my build

[highly responsive]

awesome car man.

how hard was the wiring into s13? or did you send it out to have it done?
also, how did you use the supra 1jz without swapping out the oil pan? or did you modify/swap it?

[MeSs]

Hey! Nice build :)
Im doing the same, could you post some more pictures of your engine bay?

I dont really know where i can safely connect my catchtank, also, which rad did you use?

Hey man very nice build! I would love to see some more engine bay shots!

2010's been a boring car year, but exciting life year...my girl and i bought a place in march so i told myself driving would be OFF this season...yea, that didn't happen. besides switching back to popups, east coast bash was super fun, and should tide me over until the fall, even though wrecked moves is tomorrow...booo

well...if anyone has an aftermarket front bumper, used or whatever, hit me up and i'll be glad to purchase it from you.

[Mulcracky88]

sil-80's are horrid!

[iheartmysil80]

nice build dude! and that pull on the rear is just sex, man! love it.

[Dustxking]

Haha reading this entire build i was hoping there was a pop up switcharoo coming into the works.
