Project HEEBED 2JZ-FTW

[RoadRacer4Life]

And so it begins the start of my new project car..
http://www.pbase.com/sam3481/image/22569203.jpg

this simple little 242 is going to get worked over in a severe kind of way..
start with the power plant...

The car will get lots of suspention upgrades, better brakes, ford 8.8 rearend, 2JZ-GE+t engine, spec twin disk clutch, R154 transmission, T4 72mm turbo p-trim .96a/r divided turbine housing. We will go the usual heebed way and stick with MSnS running 3 sets of coil packs.

700whp is the goal... now just got to get started and need some more cash flow...

Sam

[MrBill]

so from 12s to 11s
you guys down there are awesome
edit: or maybe 10s? I dunno

Whats the fastest megasquirted car ever?

wow...I think I'd be happy with that motor bone stock in a 242....

The magical crystal ball see's many sets of rear tires in your future :cool:

[740Weapon]

that is obnoxious

edit: i mean that as a severe compliment.

[hockey930]

jew are da man, excited to see how this goes

[stray]

sweet! Cant wait to see it done!

[benflynn]

last time i saw the red brick you were fabbing a getrag plate, where is that plate....

i have been having this same day dream

[Poik]

Wow. This is going to be awesome.

[benflynn]

gonna need turbo rods?

[RoadRacer4Life]

gonna need turbo rods?

same rods.. the only diffrence between the turbo engine and the NA engine head and oil squirters

[schaff70]

Where's you score that sweet 242? I've only ever seen 1 in person that color red.

[suterman]

looking good. although dont you feel a bit dirty about the non volvo engine?

[stylngle2003]

sweet jesus

[RoadRacer4Life]

looking good. although dont you feel a bit dirty about the non volvo engine?

Would you???
dont get me wrong my volvo has taken way more punishment and abuse than any other engine i have ever worked on but the reality of it is no volvo engine avaliable to me will make even close to what this 2JZ will make power wise for the price.. Its simple if volvo had an engine that could make 900whp on the stock bottom end and had a trans that could hold 700whp all day long I would stick with the volvo mill but there isant so thats where i am...

the current trend amongst the local mustang owners is "Built Ford tuff with Chevy Stuff"

sweet fred flintstone style. it appears to have been spraybombed that color, it was much darker in a previous life.

[klr142]

Hehehehehehehe. Can't wait to see how this unfolds... :badboy:

[shaved240]

na-t is probably the cheapest way to make gob loads of power.

Just throw a tt headgasket on it and you'll be set to go

[Mesoam]

thats going to be awesome such a desirable swap. Turbo is on the right side, great h/p w/o cracking the motor open, blah blah blah

[Geoff240Ti]

You will love the power.

My lexus is only at about 490WHP on its +T and 155mph comes pretty fast!

I hope your R154 holds 700wheel.. I'll be going V160 getrag soon.

[MikeJr.]

I can't wait to see it. That things gonna run like a raped ape.

This should be good. :cool:

friggin sweet man what turbo kit did you go with.. V160 is super sweet but definatly out of my price range.. "for now"

[Geoff240Ti]

friggin sweet man what turbo kit did you go with.. V160 is super sweet but definatly out of my price range.. "for now"

Well V160 is out of my price range right now too :rofl: hopefully by next spring I can save enough for the conversion. My auto trans just cannot shift with this power even after modified valve body.

I've read the R154 can hold quite a bit of power, it's just finding clutches and such that are up to the task. Now, this might be more of a problem with my heavier lexus.. it might do just dandy in a 240 :-D

My cars NA-T conversion was done with Boost Logics stage 2 kit. It is a beautiful kit with every component looking quality... but with a high price to go with it. I didn't spend the buck on it myself, I bought the car as a sort of unfinished product, the previous owner had purchased the kit. My original plan was to buy an all original lexus and +T it myself, but I ended up with this car for a very reasonable price (sold my 98 C70 and paid a little bit more to get this).
http://www.pbase.com/g_photos/image/82454009.jpg
I would of taken me at least a year or two to save money and turbo a stock lexus, so this way it gave me a head start.. but I still have alot of work to do.

The next motor to go into my 242 will probably be a 2jz as well. Although I might start with a JDM GTE motor (since they seem pretty cheap). My beef with the GE motors is the poor sparkplug access with the intake on.. and that intakes and headers off the GTE don't fit.

Is there any reason you went with a GE? I guess the nice thing about them is there's tons around for DIRT cheap. I've read a few places the GE intake flows better then the stock GTE intake too... and that the head might actually make better numbers then the GTE.

Anyway.. i'll be keeping track of the progress. I wanted to get started on a 2JZ swap this year really bad.. but too many other things on the plate.

I've read more then a few times that 2JZ-GEs have been ran at 900HP with stock internals. These motors are IMO one of the best motors to build now, so cheap and support big power with only bolts on (and you can leave the block/head/cams stock).

Your car will be scary with anything close to 700wheel in a 240! The lexus with half that power and more weight gives me that same gut drop feeling that you get from a fair ride. I can't wait to see how this turns out for you! Good luck.

[RoadRacer4Life]

Yeah, those BPU kits are a ****ing steal at $1500 (turboback and ebc).

Granted, the motors hold up for ****loads of power, but finding parts that aren't heinously priced is basically impossible.

[linuxman51]

This thread will be uncerimoniously retired, as the 2jz now resides in the nissan 240sx and the red 242 will likely be condemned to the deep.

[92masonry]

Where's the 242 goin???

[RoadRacer4Life]

the 242 is going to the first person to come pick it up from my shop.. its got 4 wheels and a full body still attached i will take pics today and post them up .. Its going to a t-bricker or its going to the junk yard..

[nohbudi]

lafff

SR20s going into 86s.... 2jzs going into nissans... what's this world coming to... next you are going to be showing me Mazdas with V8s....

what's the difference in weight between 2jayz's and the stock nissan 4 banger?

[The Aspirator]

Running by SE?? Damn I might just have to make it this year.

[linuxman51]

i dunno if thats his target time or not. I would venture to guess he definitely wants it to be on the road and worked out by IFO in november. and its going to be running megasquirt, what else?

[amargill19?]

cool,

no fancy pants high end jdm-tyte ems eh.

cool project regardless of what make the 240 is

[Geoff240Ti]

What header did you go with? I forgot all about this project.. I would of had a perfectly good boost logic header to sell you for cheap.. I'm swapping out the GE motor so I didn't need it anymore.

Doesn't matter anyway, yours is looking straight up ballin!

[The Aspirator]

And the GE motor is going in your 242 right!??!!

[suterman]

I think their secret plan is to get the motor running in the missan and THEN stick it in the 242, shhh.:oogle:

[linuxman51]

I think their secret plan is to get the motor running in the missan and THEN stick it in the 242, shhh.:oogle:

no, sam's 242 is long gone. He is, at the moment, completely out of the volvo game (& ironically has one of the fastest nissan pickup trucks on the vq45 forums)

[Geoff240Ti]

And the GE motor is going in your 242 right!??!!

Hah, actually my 960 is going 2JZ since the whiteblock is cooked @ only 66,000miles (111psi compression on one cylinder).

If the wagon didn't need a motor the 242 would get it! But, I think it'll be fun in the wagon :).

[The Aspirator]

Dang it I'm retarded, I didn't look close enough at those recent pictures and assumed that was still the red 242 shell. Durrrrr.

Geoff that's awesome, can't wait to see pics.

[RoadRacer4Life]

well i figure its about time to update this thread since its been a while.. Its true i am out of the volvo game for now and working on other projects.. As i had said before the orginal plan WAS to put a 2jz in a 242 but considering the condition of that chassis and a perfectly good 95 240sx that was sitting in my garage I decided to go with a diffrent platform.. Believe me when i say it wasent easy comming to this decision "i really wanted a bad ass 242" but it wasent in the cards at the time and thats how stuff goes sometimes.. Here are some pics of my progress to my nissan 240sx..

Ok, I guess I'll bite, but enough of your pity bumps. ;-)

It's looking really bad-ass (apart from that tranny mount, which looks gully as ****). A streetable 9-second car should make plenty of people jealous.

[Streetkarnage]

you have sold out.. haha you should have just stuck at it :( my 2 cents anyway

still a nice project but

[pooprah]

nice. i love the 240sx i just finished a +t on a built ka24de.

Kidding! Keep it up mang, been watching since day 1 of this fun project... Should be an effing blast once it's on the road. Are those engines much heavier than the KA motor? Well, before adding on a bunch of TURBO, intercooler and piping, of course.

I was just commenting on a poor choice of motor for the application. I deliver pizza in my 12sec subaru, does that count?

And I like my corroded tail circuits thankyou :)

[PetesDustyVolvo]

Is Toyota CAS the funky 3-pick up, 2 signal distributor? 24 teeth?

I ground two teeth off some Toyota **** to make a 12-1 when I MSed a 4AGE

Bravo either way

you mean your mom's 12 second subaru... 12 seconds to the car, then 12 seconds to get out of the driveway, then 12 seconds to pick your nose?

How about starting your own thread about your 12 seconds? I can't wait to tell you how much it sucks.

MS had problems that he couldn't solve, thus aem. I'm going to get some stuff to a person who does electronics, and try and get a board developed that is better suited to toyota stuff, this all stemmed from the inability to filter noise from the factory crank sensor.

"don't hate the heeb, hate the heeb ems" right?

I didn't build it either way, so hate whoever. Karl is angered because he doesn't have his very own project anymore ;-)

Did you bad dudes ever consider installing a new crank wheel and sensor? Wouldn't have been that hard. I'm pretty sure there are bolt-on wheels for it.

Hey guys sorry for not updating this but its a nissan/toyota in a volvo forum i am sure it wont be very well received.. Thanks to Kenny for keeping this thread alive and every thing he posted was fairly correct.. The car did run sorta on megasquirt and buying the AEM was the last thing i wanted to do but after soo much time it seems like the right way to go..

yea i will have about 2600 bucks in the aem after its all said and done.. the best the car has run sofar on the megasquirt was a best et of 12.2 and the best mph was 118.. Hopefully i will get to dick with the AEM some more this week but other more pressing things are keeping me from this project...

The goal for this car is to be a fairly quick 1/4 mile car "hopefully 9.50's at 145-155mph's" and swap out the rear tires and shocks and go run a road course as well.. In the end its just money...

I did have problems with the Corolla I did and the Toyota CAS as well. It would have rpm glitches fairly randomly but not that often.

Oye. Which tires exactly?

i think they're sumitomo htr's or something like that.

[klr142]

Lol, nice. I'd be interested in hearing exactly which ones, as they have to grip somewhat in order to get down the track that fast... :) Great job guys.

[linuxman51]

It spins in 2nd and probably third. I never said it hooked and went :-P

I think they're htr II+'s, i'll try and remember to look when i'm over there today.

[klr142]

I know it didn't hook and go, but still.

[Volvorules]

I know it didn't hook and go, but still.

Look at the trap speed vs. ET...lots of spinning.

[The Aspirator]

So he must have put megasquirt back in to go that fast eh? Or, wait it was the other way around, the rumor is that MS makes cars slow.

Well done Sam! That's a sweet trap, and I'm sure it's only the beginning.

[klr142]

Look at the trap speed vs. ET...lots of spinning.I guess I'm not being clear. I understand and did from the start that there is lots of spinning involved...

[Volvorules]

I guess I'm not being clear. I understand and did from the start that there is lots of spinning involved...

So what exactly is the question?

[klr142]

What tires are on the car, I wasn't asking about anything else, lol... I don't understand why you guys are trying to tell me the car had no traction, that's quite obvious.

[linuxman51]

they are hankook 107's (or maybe 106's) 225 50 16's.

[Dr Dokeh]

went 11.9@125mph last night. On 225-16 street tires.

Yeehaw, heebspeed ftw.

Its getting harder, this volvo thing.

:lol:

[klr142]

Thanks Kenny. :)

[RoadRacer4Life]

http://www.hankooktireusa.com/uploadfile/product/k106_tire_left.gif

This tire for the most part...

30psi and just let out easy.. I changed up the rear shock and spring combo to help it hook better and i think there are another few 1/10th's in her..

-Sam

[linuxman51]

or go to slicks and run an 11.0 @ 130mph...

You're not kidding. Good work!

[Volvorules]

Looks like slicks, or DRs?

[linuxman51]

radials.

[olov]

lookin good mang, donnie's car looks a lot less violent

i'm gonna catch some flames, but i'm glad you didn't drop the 2jz into the 242

[RoadRacer4Life]

radials.

bias ply slicks...

[WeezilUSA]

Thats hot! What are you going to do to get into the 10's?:oogle: Also, whats that old supra running, a 2jz?

[olov]

6mge or something like that

[str8krewzn]

Nice, What BOV is that, and wat Boost was all that

[RoadRacer4Life]

yea the old supra was running a 6mge+t with a turbo400 trans and a 61mm turbo..

I need some more tuning and more boost, some new tires those are pretty old.. i dont have a bov as of yet but thats also next on the list.. i was running around 18-23psi it ran about the same on both boost levels...

-Sam

[str8krewzn]

Sweet Sam, looks great
Did you Dyno it yet?

[RoadRacer4Life]

Sweet Sam, looks great
Did you Dyno it yet?

it dynoed 450whp and 400wtq at 18psi.. I am going to put it back on the dyno tomorow and bump it up to 27-30psi and get some real power out of it.. Lets hope she holds together..


-Sam

[olov]

:boink:

do eeet

[Captain Bondo]

LOL I love that you just decide, "eh, let's try an additional 9 or 12 psi and see if it wakes it up. ":rofl::rofl:

:rockon:

[linuxman51]

aggravating is what it is.

[CFL940]

Just saw this thread. JZ powered S13/14s are the ****ing WIN

[linuxman51]

at 22ish psi, retuned, it made 570whp (on race gas)

[DNAsEqUeNcE]

at 22ish psi, retuned, it made 570whp (on race gas)

s e c k s

[Tom Wiley]

lol I want to see the numbers for 30 psi

[Wagner]

Jebus, huge amounts of power there.

So the driveline is up to task on these cars for those uneartlhy amounts of power in stock form? Or is something special going on in that department as well?

[linuxman51]

R154 transmission, q45 diff, one q axle and one z axle.

[boosted12a]

nice work guys! i still think you guys should have put that engine in a 240(volvo) suprisingly they fit almost perfectly!

[RoadRacer4Life]

http://www.pbase.com/sam3481/image/110599514.jpg

had some issues with the boost controler and couldent get it up over 22-23psi.. going to try a diffrent one tonight and maybe break 600+ or break something else..

-Sam

[klr142]

It's tonight, what'd you break?

[linuxman51]

It's tonight, what'd you break?

I believe he ran out of exhaust. I forgot to pester him for hard numbers, 590ish?

apparently the 3inch on the 2jz-ftw is not big enough. It went from 480 to 570 with 4psi, and from there it picked up 20whp with another 4 psi. So its choking on something and he thinks its the exhaust. We'll know more about it in the coming week or two, for now its going back on the trailer and will be heading down to baton rouge for IFO this sunday. (no, I will not be going with). The 11.0 at 130 was at the 480whp tune, so it should comfortably be a mid 10 second car now.

[boosted12a]

nice! mabe i should go this rout in my 265 instead of the 5m...hmmmmmm

[Karl Buchka]

This is a bone stock longblock right?

[linuxman51]

its got a thicker headgasket, thats all.

[linuxman51]

And it went 10.4 @ 137 at IFO in baton rouge today. good enough to win his class.

It looks to be hauling ass, I hope the blue stuff was just turbo or breather issues?

NICE Time!! This is a 2JZGE with a big turbo? What tranny you running?

[linuxman51]

r154

[linuxman51]

The R154 which is now blown up. 3rd gear, street tires *zing*

the car is absolutely ridiculous

[DaButcher]

crazy, I thought the r154 was invincible..

V160 next? or tremec?

[boostabear]

This project is sick. I would definety suggest a t56 with an adaptor plate. V160s are going for like 2k, not worth it IMHO

[RvolvoR]

th400 time

[linuxman51]

crazy, I thought the r154 was invincible..

V160 next? or tremec?

r154 with the upgrades.

[BDKR]

That launch was sick! You spanked him right there. :nod:

[RoadRacer4Life]

ordered some upgrade goodies from marlin crawler today.. should make the trans pretty stout to 800whp.. I think i hurt the trans on multiple mis-shifts and lots and lots of wheel hopping..

What do you think of the AEM? I'm messing around with one on a VW Polo turbo atm but i'm still getting used to the software..

[RoadRacer4Life]

its alot to get used to.. there are more adjustments for crap you will never use so as far as options go its great.. it takes a min to get the hang of it and i dont really like the data logging software that much but its still a pretty stout system and in the world of higher end engine management systems its definatly one of the more cost effective..

[RoadRacer4Life]

WOOT pulled the trigger and went with something i knew would work.. Bullseye power S374 i got from Greg @ Go-Autoworks.com

jesus h christ, thats a big freakin turbo :)
make sure to post dyno sheets and get a 4" exhaust ;)

I love my S362 glad to see ppl tryin out these new BW they pretty bad ass,
when is your car coming back out Rob?

I had a dream last night that Sam ran a 7.4 in the 1/4 in this car.

[linuxman51]

I had a dream last night that Sam ran a 7.4 in the 1/4 in this car.

funny. it might not be that far off.


He dynoed 780rwhp at 27psi sunday. no nitrous. Ran out of fuel pump, so he turned it down to 750rwhp at 25psi.

stock internals, ebay header, some reground cams and a set of springs and retainers.

http://www.pbase.com/sam3481/image/117510967.jpg

[linuxman51]

run 21 was done in 4th gear, run 22 was done in 3rd with no cool down. both of those runs were at 25psi.

[Stephen]

god damn....

[maxman142001]

good lord!

sam has some luck with making cars fast....wish i could do it as easy as him

[shaved240]

amazing that it's still a stock motor

must have one hell of a tune. jesus that motors probably pushing close to 1000hp at the crank

[Dr Dokeh]

Holy ****ing hell...

[Captain Bondo]

Big difference in spool with that extra load eh?

Amazing numbers.

[740ATL]

I think I'm done with the redblock.

Is Sam even using the GTE block? Is all this done on the 2JZGE engine?

BTW... and next time, take a video of the dyno... because I'll take anything.. anything.

Well done guys.

2jz-GE. I wasn't there, he was supposed to call me when he started tuning with race gas, but he didn't. Probably wouldn't have mattered since I'd already started pulling the engine out of the other evo.

[olov]

god damn....

quoted for truth

screw the bitches, everyone will be dry humping this beast at SE

[boosted12a]

if it was a volvo..mabe. the jz engines are not hard to fit in a 240 chassi, probbaly cake to put one in a 740 too....all you need is the rear sump oil pan and you are set. thats some good numbers tho! should be a hand full down the track. has donnie turned green yet?

donnie has one that he isn't using (yet).

ah, figured he wouldnt be to far behind. the price the 2js go for i forsee this to soon be a comon thing

[MrBill]

so why did he choose a 240sx shell? Not hating on any of the other choices

[linuxman51]

he already had it, it already had full suspension on it, it wasn't a rust bucket

[Karl Buchka]

Full suspension, as opposed to partial suspension.

[linuxman51]

Full suspension, as opposed to partial suspension.

as opposed to the joke that comes on your average stock volvo.

How much is he gonna charge for rides in that thing at SE?

[linuxman51]

dunno. last time I went for a ride in it, the r154 blew up.

[shaved240]

those ge motors are getting plentiful at the junkyard now too, dam

[linuxman51]

yeah makes you wonder why you'd bother with some single cam 4 banger piece of **** eh? bout the same money from the JY...

[DNAsEqUeNcE]

seriously though - why even bother with the redblock? Or whiteblock for that matter?

[boosted12a]

simplicyt....not everyone is going for a beastly car. just trying to make it fun! some people like to see how far from the norm they can take things. hell look at all the dough kenny has dummped into his 16V, im sure that he could have built a nasty 1 or 2 J but thats not the point sometimes. if no one ever tryed to hop up a redblock we would still be sitting around dreaming of 13s and getting no whare. eh, im not gonna ramble about this ****

As you should'nt ramble on. The thing is that different people like different ****. I for one am not a Volvo guy per say but I own two of them. I have lurked here for years reading how to get this and that out of your red block and saw how guy's were working on there **** more than they were driving it, now theres something wrong with that picture. I am a Toyota guy at heart specifically a I6(Supra) guy and have been since the late 80's and I know them pretty much inside and out. Toyota built a bullet proof engine when they created the JZ series motors and the world can attest to that. I have a 245 that I put a 1JZ in and I love it and I have another 245 that I am going to be putting a 1UZ the new 2JZ motor in as I love toyota engines not to say that I don't like Volvo engines. When doing projects it's not a matter of what is best or why do this or that, but more of do what you know, can afford to do or simply what the Fu<* you want to do with your car.

Just my .02 worth.

Hey Sam damn fine job you're doing with that hybryd, are you gonna get a tax break for that? LOL

Nah, jz's aren't that cheap to do up, at least over here, everything costs a lot to buy, as it's all off the shelf and they set the price for it.

no, he's got the same slow-shifting clutch I do in the evo.. he's getting transmission-limited (aside from holding capacity, I think we were all surprised that the 154 didn't scatter itself)
