Can't wait to drag race bikes and get stupid drunk at FD again this year. Your build is looking so much better then mine!

erich_hagen · 03-01-2013, 07:26 AM

Ive gotten a decent amount done on the car since the weekend. Things should start coming together this weekend when a few new parts arrive. I was able to get my valve covers back. I also swapped out my motor mounts for Whiteline Mounts - this was a very good decision.

I will get up some better pictures of all of this next week.

I will get those up for you next week. Im also, not ignoring you - I will try to get some measurements as well. I had to get a new transmission adapter bracket because I ordered the incorrect one. Sorry, for the wait.

I don't know much about the jz platform so excuse me if this is a retarded question, but does the front cover on that engine say Yamaha??

BigPawr · 03-01-2013, 08:02 AM

The one thing I love about VVTI 1JZ's are the vlave covers are so damn sleek and sexy. I wish the 2J looked as good.

lol, come on you don't like a good looking engine? Don't get me wrong, I love a 2J, I got a built one in my garage. But I want a nice clean stock VVTI 1J for my daily IS300 really bad. They just look so good in the bay.

Yamaha helped on developing of head design. So they put their logo on front of the 1JZ. You can see the same thing of 3S-GE BEAMS engine.

Extreme Dimensions · 03-01-2013, 03:48 PM

Nice build!

yes Yamaha did the heads

shiftdrift · 03-01-2013, 04:05 PM

Idk if you know. But Yamaha did the heads. Then I did them over because Yamaha sucks with baby dick exhaust shit.

WHITELINE ENGINE MOUNTS INSTALLED

A better shot of the engine bay and some minor updates. I was able to get my Radium Engineering Coolant Bottle installed, as well as the Radium Engineering Fuel Pressure Regulator and gauge. Im waiting on fittings and hose so I can plumb everything in.

BiG MiKE86 · 03-06-2013, 12:19 PM

Sweet thanks for the pic of the mount - I may ditch my nismo mounts for a set like those

Awesome build

This is awesome, I have been thinking of going with a 1jz for my hatch for a while. Keep the updates coming!

erich_hagen · 03-13-2013, 08:49 AM

Ive gotten a lot done to this thing over the last couple of weeks. Right now Im waiting on some key components to get it buttoned up and on the ground so I can send it up to Rob at Godspeed Fabrication to do his magic. Once I have the car back from him, it should be fairly simple.

Im still waiting on lines and fittings for the fuel system. Im also changing out the solid rack bushings for some Poly's.

I have a spare stock turbo good for a rebuild or to send to DM for a high flowed turbo if you are interested... Going with hte Tomei Arms kit, hope it is all it is cracked out to be

erich_hagen · 05-02-2013, 08:50 AM

EVD Round 1 was a couple of weeks back. Going into this event with zero seat time with a new motor, new suspension setup, basically new everything - I was a bit stressed. To add to the factors spinning around in my head it was a wet day - nothing new in the NW. So, we hit the road and headed to t he track. We made a few adjustements at the track due to the track conditions and head out to grid. Needless to say, the car felt awesome. Everything about it was on point and I couldnt have been happier.

I qualified 3rd and once the pieces fell I finished in 2nd place and sit in 2nd place overall in the series, behind Formula D Pro Licensed Driver Kory Keezer.

Things didnt finish all well though. On one of my final runs we had a freak tie rod failure, sending my car into the wall - twisting up some metal, destroying tons of parts on the left side of the car. I will get some pictures of that carnage soon. These things happen, its the life of a drift car. We have most of the needed parts to get it back on the ground. Thanks to SPL Suspensions, BC Racing, and numerous other companies for getting us replacement parts very quickly.

Snatch'D Factory · 05-02-2013, 02:02 PM

Like this car a lot, good luck this season.

irritatedmax · 05-04-2013, 08:37 PM

Rad car and build! I love the simplicity and cleanliness.

But let me get this straight, you can drift a car without tubbed fenders and a tube front? You, sir, are a pioneer.

c-los13 · 08-12-2013, 02:33 PM

What did you do for the fuel lines??switched em to the other side??? Or extended them??
