Yo... just found my new favorite car channel.

You just made my day man!!! Thank you so much my man, really really appreciate the kind words!😄

[@Sqwidwood]

Wow this series has been a blast!! I’ve been thinking of doing a Supra gte swap but I can’t seem to find a cheap mk4 around when I live but one has to come up soon or later and your videos have really helped me with all the info I need!!

[@TunerFaction]

Super stoked to hear that these videos helped you my man!!! I seriously appreciate the kind words and hope a cheap mk4 turns up for you soon!!😄

[@Sqwidwood]

@@TunerFaction thank you I also can’t wait to see you finish the project!!! New sub!!!

[@TunerFaction]

@@Sqwidwood rock on man thanks so much for the sub!!! And I can't wait to finish it either, still a lot of work to go but super excited about it!

Absolutely great job, BUT i cant help but ask why a 2j and not a RB?

[@TunerFaction]

Thanks for the kindness man! And hahaha honestly bro I wanted to put an RB in this thing but I got a great deal on a 2JZ so I had to go with what financially made sense!

[@ZenonMotorsports]

Well here I am looking up swapped 240s and yours pops up 😂. Awesome competing against you today

[@TunerFaction]

Oh my gosh what's up Alex! Hahahaha that is too funny man😄 It was awesome racing against you today as well! Your Speed 3 is a certified RIPPER! hahaha such a shame that we coned like every run😂

[@nicholasreif3443]

This series is so helpful. I'm doing a near identical build with the same grannas racing adapter.

[@TunerFaction]

Rock on Nicholas! Super glad to hear you're finding this series helpful, that's what it's there for! If you have any questions, always feel free to reach out. My line is always open!

[@kyleespiritu2773]

Awesome walk through video kind of. What kind of mounts did you use for the 2j? Did you have to do some fabrications?

[@TunerFaction]

Thanks for the kind words chief!!! So the motor mounts are from Xcessive Manufacturing and needed no fabrication! I have a video out on all the parts I used in my build if that helps you out!

[@MinkMood]

Amazing!!!!!! Let’s Gooooooo ❤❤❤❤

[@TunerFaction]

Thanks so much boss!!! Much appreciated!

[@puggee3571]

Is it a twin turbo? Bro this is so cool either way. Good work!!!! I can't really say that considering I only have like 9 subs :( but it looks great! Me and my dad are building a foxbody mustang drag car with 300+ hp that will have 500-800 hp here soon!

[@TunerFaction]

So it's actually a single turbo! But technically you are right that it was twin turbo at one point because the 2JZ is twin turbo from the factory! And hey man I had 9 subs at one point too! Just gotta keep on putting out videos and that number will go up! Super cool you are working with your dad on a project like that man, really hope it goes well, sounds sick!!!

[@annatran9810]

You are a beast bro!

[@TunerFaction]

Thank you! I appreciate the kind words!

[@chrisbartlo3942]

Had a great time watching this, impressed by your work! My only question is... why put a 2JZ in a 240 instead of like, an RB? Wouldn't it be a lot easier to go nissan-nissan or toyota-toyota? Or is that just what you happened to get your hands on? etc?

[@TunerFaction]

Hey Chris thanks for the comment and I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!! Makes my day to hear you liked it! So you are absolutely right, it would be technically easier to throw an RB engine into the 240 because it would be Nissan-Nissan. In fact, when I started my project I really wanted to go with an RB26 as the engine swap! It just ended up being so expensive to get my hands on an RB engine around where I live that I decided to go with the next best thing and pick up a 2jz because at the time (~2019) they were pretty cheap around me! So you're totally right, it just came down to what was cheaper for me!

[@kennyrodriguez9307]

Ran into your video by accident and I have to say im impressed. You seem to be so young and have so much knowledge with engine rebuilds. Keep up the good work and don’t pay any mind to KZbin haters. Keep doing what you do and build your car to your liking.

[@TunerFaction]

@@kennyrodriguez9307 Kenny thank you for commenting my man! Really nice of you to compliment me brother I really appreciate that. I'm definitely no expert on engine rebuilds but I will say that watching other KZbin videos on how to build engines has gotten me pretty far! I'll certainly take your advice and pay no mind to the haters and keep on building the car of my dreams! Thanks again homie!

[@emrekalemci8824]

Hi there. What did you use transmission and turbo. Can you light it up please. I’m thinking to build sx180 🎉🙏🏻

[@TunerFaction]

Hello! I am using a Tremec T56 Magnum F transmission and a Borg Warner S366 turbocharger! Hope this helps and I hope you build that 180sx!

[@leagodonaldmaila4853]

Nice build, what is your Transmission (type), Differential (ratio) and drive shafts setup?

[@TunerFaction]

Thanks brother, glad you like it! The transmission is a T56 magnum, the differential is stock and I believe it's a 4.06 ratio if I remember correctly, and the driveshaft is a single piece aluminum driveshaft that was custom made by Grannas Racing! Hope this helps!

[@santiagogignone1750]

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ITS 2JZ

[@TunerFaction]

HECK YEAH BROOOOOOO!!!!!

[@AhmedHassan-kw3yq]

Don't forget the air blowe valve otherwise the turbo won't last long

[@TunerFaction]

@@AhmedHassan-kw3yq good suggestion! I've heard that not having a blow off valve doesn't have any negative effects for the turbocharger but I know others say that it does!

[@juantoolsdowork421]

Great build but 2 things I would do differently is the crank pulley a put a ATI damper and a twin clutch,single clutches will not handle 700hp.

[@TunerFaction]

You are absolutely right my man. I am looking to make those upgrades as soon as my budget will allow😁 I am looking to tune the car only for around 600whp when I dyno tune it so I can get used to the power and then throw on the twin plate and ATi damper and just go crazy from there! Thanks for the suggestion man I am gonna do it as soon as I can!

[@PHONiX_Au]

Goated

[@TunerFaction]

Nah bro you're goated😫

[@imnotcamping2642]

its just impressive bro, congrats! i have a couple questions, i want to do the same u just did, but honestly i have no idea, did you followed an instruction manual or a tutorial about how to build that or its just ur knowledge about engines and that kind of stuff?

[@TunerFaction]

Thank you so much man I really appreciate the kind words! And please feel free to ask any questions you may have, I'm happy to answer them! If it makes you feel better, when I started this project I had no idea where to start either, honestly, I hadn't done more than an oil change before I started the project! I basically just researched for weeks and weeks and weeks for any information I could find on the forums and KZbin for how to do this swap and after researching everything, I felt confident enough that I could tackle the swap myself! I learned a ton along the way but to get myself started I just did a ton of online research! If you are interested, my entire channel is basically dedicated to providing information on how to do this swap so maybe some of my other videos can be of help!😃

[@Mo-Elite-Devices]

I guess RBs and 2JZs have turned out the be like the "brother from another mother"

[@TunerFaction]

Hahahaha you're absolutely right my guy😄

[@danielmannelig1677]

the sealing line needs to be outside the holes

[@TunerFaction]

I appreciate the comment my man but it doesn't matter if the FIPG is inside or outside the holes. Most of the pro 2jz builders I've seen build these engines goes inside the holes (which is why I did so), but I've also seen other pro builders like Steffan Papadakis spread the sealant bead with his finger to evenly distribute the sealant, and I've also seen people put sealant to the outside of the holes like you mention. I appreciate the attention to detail my man!

[@macsynister]

bro, can we retain the twin turbos when we doing the 2jz swap into 240sx, i saw few people doing the 2jz into r34 gtt, they said in that car single turbo is the only option, since the s13 is a bit smaller car compared to the r34, will it fit nicely or same issue as the gtt?

[@TunerFaction]

Great question Mac! From what I know, you won't have a fitment issue trying to get the stock twin turbo 2jz into the s13. I know "ThatDudeInBlue" ran his s13 with a twin turbo 2jz for a while before it unfortunately blew up! hope this helps man!😃

[@macsynister]

@@TunerFaction thanks for the extremely quick response, I'm looking for s14 2jz swap, since the s13 and s14 r very much the same I'm gonna follow ur channel for it, you gained a sub mate!

[@TunerFaction]

@@macsynister super glad I could help man and hey thanks so much for the sub! I really appreciate that! Super exciting that you're looking to do a 240sx 2jz swap man, please let me know your progress on it!

[@justuzzz1]

hi bro, how you know the order of the pistons rods? i mest up and. the piston rods where mixed and know i dont know with number 1,2,3,4,5,6 is. when the rods were mixt the pistons were compleat so caps where sill on. the rod have numbers on 2gb,2ma,2ob,2ob,2kb,1pb how correspond with the caps. but with is 1,2,3,4,5,6 ?? got a gte vvti

[@TunerFaction]

Hey boss! So unfortunately those stamps wont be able to help you identify what rod goes to which journal/piston. If I were in your situation, I would just get a set of ACL Race bearings for your connecting rods and then balance the rotating assembly so that the order doesn't matter. Does that make sense?

[@justuzzz1]

@@TunerFaction yes yes ^^ thx man i thought olso to do that. it's a bummer they don't indicate it with nmr 1,2,3... is :^D

[@TunerFaction]

@@justuzzz1 hahahaha yeah really Dumb they don't indicate where the rods go but I'm glad you thought of the same solution! I hope everything with the build goes well for you brother!!

[@Kamshaft93]

What did you do with your stock GTE rods and pistons?

[@TunerFaction]

So I ended up using the stock GTE rods in the engine build but I swapped out the stock GTE pistons for Manley forged pistons.

[@Kamshaft93]

@@TunerFaction I totally commented before I was done watching the video lol super curious how you like the Tremec transmission I LS swapped my Colorado a while back using a T56 out of a Camaro. I’ve heard the magnum t56s shift way smoother and way less notchy although I’ve beat the heck out of my transmission I did not break it even doing fourth gear clutch drops crazy eighth mile long burnouts

[@TunerFaction]

@@Kamshaft93 Hahahaha no worries brother! I absolutely love the Magnum t56, I'll be honest in that I only put about 400 miles on it so far and have only driven it like a grandma (still breaking the car in). However it's clear that not only does it shift SUPER smooth, but it just feels like it can take an absolute beating. The engineers behind that tranny knew exactly what guys like you and me would be doing with it and built it to handle that sort of stuff!

[@nemissamustapha3060]

how much did cost u the build?

What wiring harness did you use?

[@TunerFaction]

It's the PRO series harness from Wiring Specialties made for the 2JZ-gte to 240sx swap. I have a video on my channel of all the parts used in my swap if that might help you out! I can point ya in the right direction if you can't find that video!
