s13 BiG MiKE's Little Build! (2JZ-GTE Powered)

So as some of you know I recently parted out my SR in hopes of going with something more reliable and with much more power potential. So it was time to get rid of this paperweight and make space for something in an inline 6



Then I sold my beloved BBS's


And this is how she sat for a bit


Til I got these 17x9.5+15 / 18x9.5+15 MB Battles to roll on (not the greatest but they wuz cheap)


Stetched some rubber on em...



Then it was time to empty the bay and rip the front end off - here is where we stand now
\


Pulling as much as I can so we can get a nice coat of paint in the bay. Ill be picking up my 2j/R-154 this weekend and hopefully dropping her in to check fitment and decide if I am going to trim the radiator support for a bit more clearance. This isnt much of a build just yet (more of a demolition) so ill just throw in a few pics of the goodies that started rolling in this week.

Treadstone Cast Manifold


Precision 6266 .68a/r with 3-5/8" V-Band discharge


Xcessive engine & Trans Mounts


Tial MV-S, TRD Thermostat, and TRD Oil Filter


Complete 2JZGTE gasket set including water pump, idler pulley, tensioner, etc,!


So thats pretty much it for now. Ill be taking more pics as things come together... Until the next update

Didnt do much this weekend just picked up motor/trans and sent it to a buddys house for all new front seals/tensioner/timing belt/water pump/etc... Then she came home and I havent really done anything yet. I will be pulling off the stock twins this weekend and ordering some fuel components this week as well.
Pic of the shifter extension done by a local shop that S&O Teck (where I bought my engine/trans) sent it to be done...




More pics/updates coming soon

Hardparked...



-----------------------------------------

So I found some motivation and decided to tackle the twin turbo removal... boy what a pita... After removing those I put on the treadstone manifold and turbo for a little mockup






SO much more room with a single! Anyone thinking of doing this swap, do yourself a favor a ditch the twins. I pulled them off with the engine out of the car and it was a nightmare... I couldnt imaging doing this after the engine is in that tiny bay

Shout out to this can of AERO KROIL for without you those silly twins would still be stuck to my 2j



AERO KROIL > WD-40

Thats all I haz for now

A local shop did the extension for me. Yes it is a R154 - I can take a rough measurement of the plate that was added if that helps you

Thanks for the comments guys

Just ordered a Wiring specialties Harness + Patch harness from Yury

More progress pics next week

Like Flicktitty said im guessing around 3500rpm which IMO would be pretty awesome for this sized turbo

Thanks - Im taking serious notes from your build thread

Fuel Injector Clinic 775cc High Impeadance Injectors + -6an Dual Feed fuel Rail ordered

Well I havent done much....

Installed Marlin Crawler Shifter bushings which took soooo much play outta the shifter. This is a must have upgrade for anyone who doesnt already have it.

Started installing driftmotion pulleys and Im currently working on finishing the stripping and painting of the engine bay

Here are some shots of the machining that had to be done on the turbo to fit the treadstone manifold



Holes slotted to slide turbo over about 2-3mm

Original fitment




Had to go with Socket Head Cap Screws due to hex heads not fitting



2-bolt to V-band wastegate adapter installed

Did some work on the engine bay a few weeks ago now mostly prep work for paint and removal of battery tray and other useless brackets

Degreasing and removal of brake booster and other parts


Battery tray removed


Misc brackets removed


Bit of sanding done


Ordered some dry pearls (Green/Blue/Purple Chameleon for engine bay) and Green/White glow in the dark to experiment on the wheels

Shooting for the one on the right



After a few mins of light...



More updates this weekend once we lay down some paint
