Awesome stuff dude. Once i get my 180sx in the near future i definitely plan on engine swapping it for the 2jz motor as i’d love to daily drive the car with a more reliable motor requiring less frequent maintenance. I’d like to ask was there any problems after you had engine swapped the car? Was the car not very compatible with the engine at first or such? (Also I will definitely not be engine swapping myself, instead in the hands of professional tuners/mechanics haha). Keep it up 🔥

Hey man thank you for commenting! Absolutely stoked to hear you are planning a 2JZ swap yourself! To answer your question, I have not had any major issues with the engine/car since I swapped it. I've only driven it about 1,100 miles so far (1770km) so I haven't driven it much but I plan on driving it a lot more in the future! The issues I've had so far are really small things like little oil leaks and stuff like that. Overall the engine is super reliable and works great in the 240sx! I will keep you posted on if I have any major issues moving forward. Good luck with your swap man, and if you have any other questions please feel free to ask away!

Love my T56 Magnum but the rock grinder sound comes through my 05 IS300 a little louder then expected. It was an automatic so took some extra work

Damn,that noise is kinda annoying, lol. Id be always paranoid. Makes me just want to DM build my r154f and just run with their stage 4 clutch.

@@damnitdang hahaha yeah it's just a bit annoying! It's really not as bad as you hear it in the video because the camera was right below the tranny, but you can certainly still hear it! That DM built R154 is a great choice, you shouldn't have any issues there!

You should test out some sound deadener around the trans tunnel in the cabin and see if the idle bothers you less.

Now is this a conservative 700ft lbs? What are guys actually putting it down on , real power dynoed?
@TunerFaction2 ай бұрын
@@damnitdang yes the 700 ft-lbs is conservative. From my research, the tranny can handle a CONSTANT 700 ft-lbs, but it can handle much higher than that for short bursts. I know some folks on various forms putting down well over 1000whp through this tranny with no issues!

Is it possible to make it less noisy?
@TunerFactionАй бұрын
@@ricardoguazz good question! You can't make the transmission itself less noisy because it's the internal gear lash that causes the noise, however I bet you could lessen the noise by smoothing out your idle. The choppier the idle, the louder the transmission is. Just to give you some more info about how loud it is, it's not loud enough that you can really hear it outside the car unless you have a very quiet exhaust and you're standing right next to the car. And even inside the car, it isn't super loud but you do notice it if you know what to listen for. I've never had any of my passengers ask "what's that noise" (referring to the transmission).

Btw. I bought an NX1600 cluster. There's a wiring diagram someone posted online, and it will work in the 240 if you want a cool dash upgrade with a retro 80s look.
