2JZGE costs involved?

[ViPeR_NiPPleX]

Out of curiosity how much do non-VVTi 2JZGEs go for these days?

im paying 1k for one, ecu/loom/exhuast

What stopping you going 1UZ?
Insurance? (that seems to be the main killer)

I would've thought the main killer would be a manual conversion.

To be honest, if you're going to be ditching the vvti, I'd be just getting a non-vvti version and pocket the difference. The benefits don't really justify the price increase given you're disabling it's most important difference. Having driven a 2JZGE MA61 Supra, I can't see the normal 2JZGE not being a blast in a Z10.

thats what i meant... i'll just pick up a non VVTi engine and be done with it. As for a 1JZGTE i've seen how ridiculous that is in a Z10 and i really don't wanna kill myself... 220hp odd should be a pretty big kick in the pants anyway in an 1100kg car... plus the insurance benifits would be good... 1UZ well i don't wanna go to an 8

Oh, and I didn't make my last post clear.

It should have read,
If you decide to go for an aftermarket ecu and plan to use the VVTi, then you'll have to go with Autronic or MoTeC.


You can by all means stick with the factory ecu after you have solved the fuel delivery issues.

And GT, its close enough to free to make killer freight almost worth it.
Unless its uber killer freight.

Surely you can get a non VVTi 2JZGE for less than $1000 in your part of the world?

As for VVTi, stick with factory fuelling and ECU. That said, you could probably get a 1UZ and assorted manual bits for less than a VVTi 2JZ....

I would've thought the main killer would be a manual conversion.

By the time you factor in a 2JZ bellhousing, flywheel, and new clutch a manual 1UZ is not *that* much more expensive. Few hundred tops.

Hahah, you'd be lucky to pick up a 1JZ nonVVTi for less than a grand here.

nonVVTi 2JZ's with loom/ecu fetch $1500 minimum, unless you happen to snag some chump in a JZA80 who's just upgraded.

VVTi 2JZ with full loom/ecu would be estimated $2500.

I suppose, depends how cheaply you can get those, the price tends to vary depending on how lucky you get.

Insurance, engineering and the other usuals. The 2JZGE is counted as an "EFI Hardware Change" here in SA for some reason. They consider it the same as going from say a 253 carby to a 253 injected. No idea why, and i wont complain.

theres no probs with engine with no return line
i have done over 10 of them either holdens or fords

all u do is find the fuel pressure specs on the engine and fit a non rising rate malpasi
adjustable fuel pressure reg

u can fit it either in engine bay or near tank

no return line just means the return is built into the pump

theres nothin complicated about it

the biggest prob would be the auto

if u plan to run auto u might need the std 2jzvvti shifter

im wiring up a 1j vvti and the ecu talks to the gear shifter mechanism

so without that it might be a pain to get goin if the 2j is similar to the 1j

illhave all the info on how it works soon so ill let u kow if its a problem

With the 2JZGE non-VVTi i understand that the A350 is controlled by the engine ECU on the Autos. Im therefore guessing that it may have a bit of a confusion fit if it is mated up to a A341E with the external shift computer from the 7MGE.

Any ideas?

Go manual?

[sideshow]

doesnt a manual gbox for the 1j cost around 1500 to 2000

[Draven]

R154 would be that much, yes.
but if he goes manual for the 2jz-ge, would be less for the w58 (although if it's an auto to start with, all the associated hardware adds up)

My 2JZ-GE cam with Auto, ecu, loom, airbox with complete intake, exhaust manifold and dump pipes, radiator, air con heat exchanger and pipes, JZZ30 bonnet hinges, washer bottle and charcoal canister. Bassically everything from inside the engine bay and even a set of JZZ30 wheels and tyres. I paid $900
