Thats all photos i have at present, so some info on parts i have used first.
2jgte from aristo, bought as engine, auto and computer. Have used a dellow bell housing mated to w58 ( how long this lasts, who knows!) I had clutch made and setup at adelaide clutch services consists of: cromoly flywhell toyota brass button friction disc ( think its 11 1/2 inches)and a mazda cover, flywhell was re-drilled and dowled to suit. Clutch clamforce is 1.3 ton now.
I fitted a atandard type water pump, i cut the centre out of hydaulic type, welded a 4 mm plate in centre and had it faced and machined to suit water pump.
I cut traction control off throtle body and had it machined with barb edge.
I removed feul dampner from before feul pump and screwed a -8 speedflow fitting directly into feul rail. I ran new 3/8 line back to bosch 044 pump which is feed by an autosport engineering surge tank.
i modded top water pipe to match up with r32 rb20 radiator. I have fitted twin adair 9" thermos, the thermos are that close to water pump i had to trim back bolts and cut 10 mm off water pump shaft as when motor torqued up it was touching!
after removing all sequential crap from turbos i had to make twin 2" down pipes to go around steering shaft which then merge to 3".
engine is controlled by microtech lt12s
boost is controlled by greddy profec
Am using and e bay special intercoller 600x300x100 with 3" plumbing and an old hks bov
Car is fitted with jic front struts and tein rears accompanied buy full s14 5 stud upgrade and the 4 pots of stopping power
Now for fitting: I never touched firwall or tunel with a hammer or grinder.
I sat motor as low and far back as sump would allow. I am having a custom sway bar made at present to clear sump.I used r32 rb20 engine mount rubbers and made custom mounts from block to rubbers ( i have made a jig to replicate these if somone wants some)
I used standard w58 geaqrbox crossmember, cut ends off and fabbed new ends to suit silvia.
I had to cut gearstick hole forward 80mm.
In the pictures you will notice i have recessed clutch master cylinder and don't have brake booster as these both fouled on rear turbo.
I moved hole cluch pedal box towards driver 50mm which allowed me to mount cylinder drivers side of firwall and still have clutch fluid feed engine side. The external resevoir i used was made from toyota land cruiser bits.
i used the power steering fittings from sr20 and fitted them straight to 2jz pump, just had to extend feed line. The 2 pumps are mounted around same area on motors.
Since i have driven it the turbo seal in rear turbo has let go, presume it has got hard from sitting for so long, have know idea how many k's are on motor either.
So am going single turbo, gt 3540 to be exact. Picked it up today and e bay special manifold arrived today also. So that is that till i get it running again and on rollers for tune.
It was a hand full with twins, am wandering about the single now?
By the way this is a track car only, i bought shell as a right off and fixed it at home also, gotta love the backyard handymanship.
This is altemate car for me, have great chassi to tune with heaps of aftermarket stuff around and now its fitted with a dam strong motor, just the tranny am worried about!
what the hell is with the special shape rear end!!
did you get hit? bummer if you did..
nice work with the convo though...
latter,

This is how i bought the car, as a right offOriginally Posted by sheepers
Looks great, cant wait to see how it goes. Are you going to get it sorted with the twins forst, or go straight to the big single? Also, some of the pics didnt show up, do you think you could check to see whats up? Cheers!
Pics are fine.....
The gt35/40 is a great turbo for 2J, i think you'll find alot more potential with the single set up over the stock twins so the oil seal problem may have been a god send . Can't wait for the tuning results mate, good work.
