My R33 1Jz Build Up

[jayesproject33]

I am looking to convert my newly bought R33 into a 1JZ r33 i have always been into toyotas but recently changed to Nissan, i have been slowly collecting parts for the conversion as i want to rebuild engine before putting it in so far i have Brian Crower 272 cams, BC valve springs and titanium retainers, HKS Cam gears and timing belt, Spool Con Rods and CP pistons, BC 1.6mm oversized intake valves and new crank shaft, oil pump and water pump and all arp head studs and main bolt kit.

i spent the last weekend spraying my rims up black and fitting new coilovers

and as pictured u can see why i no longer want to drive the soarer and want to swap the engines i love the 1jz and always have plus the r33 would be like hevean to that motor not having to pull all the weight of a soarer

i already have the 1jz in my soarer as pictured but recently had someone smash up the back of my car and do the runner when it was park at a mates house.

i,m running the r154 5 speed

I have purchased a s14 crossmember and 1jz engine mounts for that xmember so hopefully it goes in easy and with out to much drama.

I still need a front sump for conversion and to work out how to wire it up i dont know to much about wireing myself

If you are doing a race-car like conversion. Wiring should be pretty easy.

I like seeing project like this using the good looking body and putting a bullet proof motor in. I have a 2JZ in my 32 now that it finished I could not be happier with it, but i will give the tip it wasn’t all easy there’s a lot involved everything was custom and i mean everything nothing just fitted. I am running a mircotech computer just running the engine and using the factor computer to run all the other stuff it was quite easy to wire up I stripped all the factor wiring out that was not needed and just kept the wiring that was still needed i.e. factory temp gauge, lights, horn, air-con, air-con thermo. I used factor cross member with factor Nissan mount and just made custom mounts off the block to the factor Nissan rubber mounts. My motor was from an aristo so it had the front sump that fitted perfect over the cross member. if you get stuck on anything I'm to answer any question you might have good luck with the build mate

This a thread about my car a few pics of the build up on another forum

Yeah i understand i will take a fair bit of work and lots of custom work will have to be done. But in the end it will all be worth it your r32 looks tidy as very nice job

Cheers mate it is so much better a heaps more torque boost earlier just all round better car now. Just needs a few small things fixed and some more suspension pasts and it will be done then a cage once i get kick out of the drag strip lol
