i have been told its quite a basic bolt up job but surely it cant be that simple or everyone would do it

is there any upsides/downsides to this engine mod???

anyone have a 2j bottom end laying about??? lol

It should all bolt up, simple really, get one of them XS Power manifolds (actually quite good stuff) & go big single for mucho powers

i think there is issues with the timing belt and with turbo drains

i,ve got a complete low k 2jzge for $600 landed at the depot in melb. get a set of turbo pistons and your away. cheers bigwad

what about drains for the turbos?

2JZGE is a bit more stuffing around then just pistons...

the blank in the sump casting is already there just has to have the drain hole drilled and the two small hiles drilled and tapped, same with the oil feed line for the turbo .drill and tap the block out to 1/4 bspt ,the casting boss is already there. there is no oil squirters for the pistons in the ge but the yanks rekon that they lose you hp and oil pressure anyway.the rest is preety much the same. looks like no one wants that ge of mine so i,ll keep an eye out for a set of pistons and wack a 1.5 together for a spare . cheers bigwad

toyoda, you just happened to miss a thread on this exact subject not far at all from yours that answers all of your questions.

logic would say use your orig sump and put longer hoses in.

but then again if your worried about drains you probly dont have the smarts to do the job so why bother, just get a 2jzgte complete

you would have to get full custom pistons since standard compression 2jzgte pistons would give you higher than 8.5 comp. Oil drains are incorporated into the sump last time i checked so you would only have to wory about oil feed which would be a simple drill and tap job or finding a fitting that already exists.
