[Spencer dougherty]

hi. my name is Spencer & im the CEO of SideWays Performance here in beautiful SoCal.. we are a 8000sq foot ware house drift factory..
Home - SIDEWAYS PERFORMANCE (http://sidewaysperfomance.webs.com/)

i noticed that there was no support on Zilvia.net for 1jzgte & vvti's into s-chassis or any other chassis.. so i wanted to start a page to help everyone out..

my background.. been in the JDM inport scene for a good 15 years now
& started my own shop 10 years ago.. ive done at least 1000 swaps & 200 or so jz's. i know the the parts list need, engines & wire inside & out for S-chassis swaps..
ill post up alot more tomorrow.. heres some pixs i have of jz's weve done this year and projects where working on.. also have swap videos on youtube sideways performance - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=sideways+performance&oq=sideways+per&gs_l=youtube.1.0.0.8679.14440.0.16236.12.11.0.1.1. 0.1153.3534.1j7j1j6-1j1.11.0...0.0...1ac.1.11.youtube.v5zBLsc7CCo)

post up your engine bay pix with parts list & power

here are the last few S chassis 1jzgte swaps we did

[BigPawr]

There is already a 2JZ swap thread that has a Plethora of information pertaining to the JZ swap in general for the S-Chassis. I'm not really sure what can be accomplished by this thread other than advertising your own business.

[Spencer dougherty]

I see that.. It is a 2jz theard. Not a 1jzgte. Aside from the motor mounts & transmission . The 1jz's & Vvti's are completely different . The pont is to help out not to promote my shop. Only reason I mentioned my shop is to show my experience & that im not talking out my ass...,im slammed out the door with work. + Im in socal so I dont see any swap comming in because of this post. I only do swaps. I dont sell new parts. So when I have more time I will post up a gold rush of details for everyone.

[di-devol]

Actually, I like this idea, although there are similarities between 1j/2j, the other thread IS directed at 2j's.

(Especially since I'm doing a 1j)

The other thread isn't stickied either.

[benarovi]

I like this idea. 1jzs are awesome swaps and pretty cheap.

[xoxide]

In for wiring diagram's and parts list!

[soundboy]

In for the wiring diagrams also. I want to buy a is200 lexus and do a 1jz automatic swap. With a hx35

if u use the auto trans that comes with the 1jzgte u pick, wiring should be easy.. u don't have to wire anything extra to get the auto trans working.. as long as all the sensors are plugged in on the trans it will shift fine..OD will not work unless u wire it but its only 2 wires.. i have a book with all my diagrams in it.. gotta clean it up so u guys can read it.. takes some pixs & upload.. need a few day.. got 2 kids & a full time shop i run

It;s a stock s13 singlecam cable. I just cut and crimped the end of it at the pedal.

I plan on taking pictures of the wiring being installed. The engine harness and install is being done by Fiend performance, chassis harness is custom.

[driftlife.son]

Anyone wanna share some wiring information???

[rune1241]

Seriously, the wiring is what I need help with as well.

Where the pictures at? 😊

[VegasDrifterS13]

Which 1JZ swap is better? VVTI or NON VVTI? I know that for tuning purposes variable valve timing can be an advantage but is one or the other built better? any differences i.e. power capabilities, strength, reliability, limits, CONS of any sort for either??? any info would be great.

[edmorl]

anyone ever retain A/C with a 1jz swap ?

[soundboy]

Go with the vvti. More modern engine.

Alright guys really noob question but usually how much to 1jz swaps come out to be after getting everything you need and also where do most people get their engines from?

[di-devol]

I got mine from JDM texas I believe. Price is variable.

I figured at least 4k for a swap, MINIMUM.

This is the pipe I made. I did back to back dyno test stock vs mine, only changing the pipe and it made 22ft lbs and 26hp. I made a 3 inch pipe from stock 3 bolt outlet to where my v band connected on exhaust for the stock one. This way it would be fair comparison. I was actually worried at first when the stock one put down 273ft lbs and 287hp. Then I put on mine and it made more power everywhere in the power band and extended peak torque 250 rpm. I believe this pipe is better than the tomei unit, as that one makes 30hp gain, but they are running 23.5psi boost, where mine made 26hp gain on stock ecu/boost. Im sure mine would shine even more with elevated boost and ecu tuning.

1jzgte VVTi JZX100 harness diagram (http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?635253-1jzgte-VVTi-JZX100-harness-diagram)

Good thread with lots of wiring info for vvti 1j.

[Night drifte89]

Question, I have a 1jz non vvti and I am purchasing a non ac serpentine bbelt and on drift motion they ask me if I have a clutch fan or hydro fan. Don't exactly know what the hydro fan is. Which one do I need? I'm ussuming since I don't know what a hydro fan is. I don't have it?

[VIPDRFT]

The non-vvti 1JZ uses a hydraulic powered cooling fan for the radiator. Said hydro fan runs off a pump that is part of the water pump assembly. You have two option, you can try to find a stock hydro fan (good luck) and run it, OR you can cap off/recirculate the hydro fan pump and just run electric fans. Most people convert from the 1jz hydro fan/water pump to the 2JZ water pump/clutch fan or electic fans.

[Night drifte89]

So which belt do I buy to use the electric fans I have?

[VIPDRFT]

If you're going to keep the existing hydro fan/water pump assembly, recirculate/loop the hydraulic system and run electric fans; obviously, you're going to get the hydro fan related belt. If you're going to switch to the 2JZ water pump with a clutch fan or electric fans; you're going to get the clutch fan related belt.

[93egallmotor]

im in the process removing the A/C compressor on my NON vvti 1jz. do i need a special support bracket to do so? all i could find in the 2j thread was that it is needed for a 2j, any help would be mucho appreciated.

[VIPDRFT]

Yeah, it looks like it.

http://www.driftworks.com/forum/technical/130965-1jz-belt-non-air-con.html

[93egallmotor]

this is from the 2j thread. got no response so maybe ill get some insight here.


If you are using the JDM factory twin turbos you will need to source a jdm downpipe which used to be hard to find, but you can find them on ebay now. Just search “JZA80 front pipe, 1st pipe or decat. and it will show up. here is a picture of what you will need.
(Pic of said jdm downpipe)

From my build thread -should be the same for 1jz if Im not mistaken - Serpentine Belt info

I received my serpentine belt yesterday. I went with the Goodyear Gatorback model (part number located in pics below) and it fits quite nice for the 2JZ-GTE with NO A/C compressor installed.

Hey guys am I the only one that uses this? Lol question I am looking to get a sway bar for my s13. I have a 1jz non vvti don't know if that matters, wha brands or what style sway bar do I need? Heard of these ones in austriala but I lost the guys number

[Night drifte89]

Oh and I have a rear sump oil pan

[Southern Elegance]

Rear sump wont work with the s13 subframe you'll have to buy the upper and lower section from driftmotion or used. Most people either get sway bar spacers for stock or the sikky kit

[CooleyXXXIII]

could someone help me out i apparently go a vvti out of a 110 and can't find a pinout

[Night drifte89]

Big question, I'm looking into makeing my own sway bar spacers, my school has a milling machine and I don't have enough to buy a whole sway bar so hs anyone made some? How long do they have to be and we'll I just need some specs on them.

[stroked_jz]

this thread honestly makes my head hurt... a vvti is nothing like a vvl sr20... if you want horse power, stay away from the vvti. The 1jz vvti is a garbage ass motor for high hp. That and finding someone that can even tune a vvti is a task in itself. And as for the price to swap, Gs Motorsports in Irving texas, Known for 240sx will sell you a 2j/5speed and install with piping and wiring for 5k. So im pretty sure this swap can be done for a hell of alot cheaper if you know what you are doing. Just food for thought.

What are you guys using for motor mounts? I had some drift freaq motor mounts that are failing quickly.

Also looking for opinions on the drift motion turbo kits

get the get nuts ones, you dont need a sway bar spacers or need sway bar. i personally use zero lift strong and good

Check my build thread for pics/fitment stuff

[datboibrad]

i thought this setup would have more support than it does but most of the people in my area still prefer the SR

[RB180sxChris]

pretty dope thread....might do this swap for my kouki

[izzy-]

Can someone else make a actual thread that explains how/ and what you need to for the 1jz swap. Maybe somebody like BigMike? This guy basically didn't help at all. He just posted a thread with pics of cars his shop did lol.

Installed this 1jz vvti Tomei arms 8280 turbo kit today:

Haven't run it yet obviously because I'm still completing my build, but the turbo seems like a nice piece and the kit itself fit flawlessly. For others reference, I figured I'd share this torque spec sheet included in the instructions (note that these are in n*M):

Didn't realize there was a 1J swap thread and was just using the 2J thread. I'm writing a tutorial to go along with my swap I suppose I will post here instead of making another thread.

Good stuff so far, I should be done by April or so at this rate...a little slow due to the cold and 9-5 life.

[Mister.E]

We should just get the name of the other thread change to "JZ Swapped S-Chassis Thread."

This thread had potential but went downhill really quickly.

[bmaddock]

I agree with you.

Mods, is there anyway we can lock this thread and rename the 2J thread to keep it all in one place?

Anyone running the tomei elbow with a cxracing down pipe? Just wondering if the 3 bolt flanges will line up

[drifter92]

I'm new to JZ engines, I got this vvti 1JZ in a trade for my entire SR20 setup and I've been working on it for a couple months now, it's almost ready to run for the first time. I'm using a CD009 transmission, stock turbo, MAF, injectors, ECU, etc. I will get my AC going ASAP and this will be a car built for Lone Star Drift down here in Texas. Checking in!

Awesome progress dude

[bmaddock]

Wow that is great, quality build! I already wish I went a little more in depth like you did to clean everything. Sort of wish I went with the cd009 too.

[drifter92]

thanks guys, I appreciate the support!

[TheRealSy90]

You'll do better with cooling if you mounted the fans 1/4" to 1/2" away from the radiator on an aluminum shroud so that they actually pull air through the entire radiator surface, and not just through the diameter of the fans.

[drifter92]

I'm probably going to move everything forward and run a clutch fan

edit: I cut the core support and i'm moving the radiator and AC condenser forward

Why did you pull the dual fans off ?

[drifter92]

Why did you pull the dual fans off ?

I dont want to have overheating issues in the future

[bluz370]

Dean, did you get the full SC300 fan and fan clutch? I cant tell in the pics, but is it offset to the side like all JZs?


I am going through with my swap and was curious what all was needed. Did you go SR rad?

Yes its offset, you have to use a MK3 supra fan shroud on the SR20 radiator. I pulled my SR for this JZ so I already had the SR radiator. Koyo triple pass, amazing radiator btw!

[corkscrew]

Any pics of the fan shroud on the sr radiator?

[drifter92]

i dont have one yet, but my friend did, search his name as240 on google
