533 hp BMW - 2JZ GE Turbo Build in 10 minutes

A almost two years 2jz swap rebuild and install into my BMW E46 drift car. Because the price of the 2JZ GTE are extremely high I decided to find a cheap 2JZ GE and replace all the internal to forged and turbo. Currently the car is running and it has 533 Horsepower.
I hope the 10 minute video gives you an idea of how cool this swap is.

Sick budget 2JZ setup, would love to see some pulls in this car! Man if only I could run a speedefi with a automatic, I’m currently looking for a budget solution tunable ecu for my na-t gs300

[@motabikeboy]

I'm pretty sure you still can. If you run the stock ecu aswell as the speeduino ecu you can keep the auto. Speeduino controls fuel and spark, Stock ecu controls everything else including the auto trans.

[@CarModsGarage]

I'm almost sure you can run SpeedyEFI. Message them on their FB page. They always answer and they will definitely know that.

[@DSM96]

😎👍

[@djredx2462]

Wanna run a 2JZ swap into my daily however keeping it automatic, any idea on what type of auto transmission can hold around 450 to 500hp ??? Great video by the way I was super nervous about doing the build myself but you made it easier for me to understand

[@CarModsGarage]

Thanks man. This is so fun. I hope you make it. If they make zf automatic I think it will hold well. I'm not too sure though. Watch the videos of me drifting it. This is the fastest car I own so far. Putting another built 2jz vvti turbo on my supra now.

[@toxic_clips6199]

can you swap the 2jz with any e46 as long as it’s petrol

[@JoseLuis-nj3ib]

Man this is awesome! I’m doing the exact same with a 330Ci… Will the NON M rear end hold up? I was told to do the M3 rear end first thing.

[@CarModsGarage]

It works fine. My diff broke but it was a lack of luck. I put another E46 non M diff and it's working again. Everything holds up perfectly

[@JoseLuis-nj3ib]

@@CarModsGarage I’ll take your advice and go with it!

[@naydenboyanov6808]

You didn't mention about oil pan swap - first there was a front sump, but that one does not fit E36/E46 chassis, then when test fit the engine it got rear sump. Just want to make things clear for somebody who is just starting with this. About driveshaft - you can mix and match front parts of the driveshaft to sute the length. Anyway - good job man!

[@CarModsGarage]

That's true it needs to be rear sump. The front sump hits the power steering rack. The OEM driveshaft is too long and two pieces. You can definitely cut and weld to make it work. I didn't want to risk 🙂. I'll probably make a detailed video about the details for the conversion

[@naydenboyanov6808]

@@CarModsGarage About the driveshaft - I never say anything about cutting. I have changed my front piece only...

[@CarModsGarage]

@Nayden Boyanov oh cool. How did you Fit it there? ZF transmission? What did you change on the front piece?

[@Morm1175]

Great video , do you think that buy separate turbo parts is cheaper or is better to buy the turbo kit I planing to purchase the driftmotion turbo kit but is $ 2k dollar maybe I can save some money if I buy everything separate what do you think

[@CarModsGarage]

It might be worth it. This is how much stuff might cost. Exhaust manifold with vband Watergate port- $250 Turbo smart waste gate - $450 Down pipe kit - $300 Turbo - $800 (can find unbranded for $200 on eBay) Fasteners and lines for turbo - $300+ It's worth I think but you can cheap out on turbo (needs modifications on cold side), wastegate (eBay) - $700 bucks cheaper just there. I like DM products and kits though. They have good stuff but I built my own kit from eBay stuff

[@evgeniynikolaev7622]

Do you have a photo of how much you modified the firewall/tunnel to allow room for the gearbox adapter? I got the same one and have the same issue.

[@CarModsGarage]

I didn't modify anything yet. It was rough to shove it in but what I'll do next time I take the engine out of the car is to use one of those hydraulic jacks to enlarge the firewall. I won't cut anything. I haven't done yet.

[@panchoveliz1098]

Could you do a parts list with links embedded? For the engine parts and all adapters used. Been wanting to do this to my 325i, looks worth the effort

[@CarModsGarage]

I've got a huge list. Check the description of the video. I added everything there. The injector I have are DW 1100cc though that's the only difference but I linked to a similar one. The adaptors from 2jz to ZF transmission I've got from DriftHQ. They know all about that stuff. I hope that helps brother!

doing the same swap! what did you do for an IACV? and where did you install it?

I did not use it on this build. I will on the Supra though. There is a spot for it on the intake I got this time

[@478slimm]

Did you line home mains to use the arp main studs🤨

[@CarModsGarage]

Yes I did. I had problem on another engine that crank wouldn't turn after ARP was installed so I decided to line hone before even trying to see if it would turn fine.

Any advice on a aftermarket ecu to use on my e60 545 v8 with auto transmision,, my ecu is faulty and cant get hold of original doner ecu

Message the Facebook page or Instagram of a company called speedyEFI. I run their ECU in two cars and putting the third one on my Supra. Ask if it will support you application.

[@cpurage]

I think this is the most important video as you put inside of it so many things that you’ve missed in the others ;) I’m a bit stuck with the Compression ratios of mine currently as I want to buy the proper pistons to be able to lower the compression ratio to stock Supra one 8.5:1 and this will make my IS300 2JZ-GE a non interference engine ;) … hope you got my point ;) … I mean that even if I snap a timing belt pistons will never hit the valves ;) because of the lower compression ratio, no ? Or I’m mistaken ? Please let me know cause I found the equations how to achieve 8.5:1 compression ratio with 2.6mm head gasket (this is only applying to 10.5:1 stock pistons and stock (thin) rods, and now I’m doing same equations for the stock TT Supra pistons and rods and then I’ll check the 8.5:1 Wiseco and 9.0:1 Manley, and I’ll be running stock bore (86mm, hope so 😂 dunno, will see once I open bottom end and measure the cylinders from the very bottom to the top 🤣) 86mm

[@CarModsGarage]

Ya you are correct. If you lower the compression ration it will be non interference engine. I had that done on my BMW from this video and also on my Toyota Supra. I dropped my compression to 9.5:1. Got forged Manley pistons. You can get tt supra for sure. The GTE is already a non interference engine. The bore and stroke are 86mm. On my builds i increase the bore by 0.5mm so i have 86.5mm on bore and stroke is the same 86.00mm. You should be fine 👍. Thanks for watching the video brother. I appreciate the comment.

What the mileage on that bro? I want to swap my 325i but I still want it to be reliable and have good performance. How has it been driving?
