Yn57 3y engine to 2jzge

[coronaowner]

Hey all,
will shortly be putting the 2 jzge into the 86 hilux cab chassis 2wd to do some towing with.
what i want to do is keep the shifter in the same position.
original hilux gearbox is a five speed, just wondering if i can remove the rear extension housing & shifter rods from it.
then remove the extension housing & remote lever form the supra gearbox and fit the
hilux extension housing & selector rods to the supra box......?
has anyone done this before???
any info appreciated.
thanks, drew.

Why not just use the Hilux box, that way your gear ratio's and speedo won't be out of whack.

The Supra box isn't *that* much stronger

thanks for the reply, does the flywheel, clutch or cluth for need to be changed, and with that im guesing that the bell housing is the same bolt pattern. not having done tis conversion before i dont know but appreciate the advise, thanks,

If your Hilux has a W5* series box you won't need to change the clutch/flywheel and the bellhousing will be compatible. This is because the 2JZ-GE also comes with a W5* series box.

Im busy with 1jz vvti to 2004 hilux. Leaning towards auto, a bit worryed about gear ratios, mite be a bit flat on pull off. Not to sure about going with hilux box, it could be a bit twitchy on pull off and dont wana have to pull off in second all the time. NO TRC either
ETC is cool on the auto thou. You going to have problems with the twin turbo on the 2j, you have to mod the back turbo pipe. Unless you have already done a y pipe and single turbo setup. Big reasons i went 1jz with vvti, the hp and kw is verry close to the 2jz non vvt, there is no pipe crap, the fuel consumption is better, only one turbo with a good low down boost (vvti big plus there) and i wanted to keep it stock. Anymore Hp in a hilux = unpleasent. You probly going to have to get a bellhousing made up by sumone in your area, you will be lucky if it dose match up but have a look. In turn you will have to look at flywheel and clutch. In my area there is a dude that makes a kit for 1j and 2j to mate hilux box. I will probly stay away from manul box myself because the newer hilux box was made in Tiwan and think it will go in two years or so, it's already got a wine going on inside.

Oh ya would say don't mess with pulling parts from a gearbox. Those parts come flying out and you will be off to pick up another box and drop off the old on at the scrap yard. Just a rule iv got on my side

checked the hilux on the weekend and it has a g series gearbox fitted going off what is on the build plate will will be running with the supra box....

[coronaowner]

now looking to remove the remote shifter and change it so the shifter sits straight into top of the box.

So I take it you got the Supra W58 with the motor? The only good thing about the G series boxes is you can put any W series gearbox bellhousing on them, it's a straight swap. How long do people think the G5_ will last behind a 2jzge? Guess at least the G box will have towing type ratios

hey,
i brought a whole jza80 supra for $600 ,
it had acco damage in the rear but all i wanted was the running gear to put into the hilux.
the old 3y is not the fastest of engines while it is a good motor and has nothing wrong with it i will be needing something to put a car trailer on instead of the fairmont.
the ute would be more practical as a tow vehicle.
the supra was only a 2jze but with the manual gearbox so for what it cost it is well worth the conversion.
what im trying to do is have everything sorted so im not finding out that this or that wont work half way through the job.
So if i can use the g series gearbox and only need to swap the bell housing over then it makes it a lot easier. no stuffing around with tailshaft mods.
thanks for the info.

[old_school_jap1]

Sounds like you got a bargain! I have personally put a G bellhousing on a W box and I'm pretty sure it would work vice versa, other people have done it on here I believe. From what I've seen of the Y engined hiluxes the clutch slave cylinder and starter is on the driver's side, whereas the supra 2jzge has it on the other side. So you will have to bend some lines for the slave cylinder to be on the other side and bolt up the 2jzge bellhousing and starter.

Hey all,
Thanks to everyone for their advise & input, much appreciated, will be fitting the 2jzge using the
original hilux gear box by fitting the bell housing from the w58. will then run it to see where the rev range is then do a diff conversion to suit.
thanks again, love the toymods website.

[coronaowner]

Just an update forthose who dont care, the 2jzge conversion is finnished and go like a rocket,
will need to do the diff conversion just for the sake of saving the revs on the freeway, even though this is a tow vehicleit is manual so if i need more revs..... yup. change gear.
thanks for the info from everyone.

[old_school_jap1]

Awesome. Bet it fills out the engine bay nicely to. Yeah those box ratios would be killing a 2JZ, 1st gear last a couple seconds? The late model Hiluxes may have some nice, high diff ratios but the really late ones were made in Thailand, some question their quality
