Assembling A High Compression 2JZ Race Engine

Happy to see you getting settled into the new shop. Good to see your typical OCD with the engine building - You've learned so much over the years that people that do run 2JZs would be foolish not to have a reliable long block from RAD. Added bonus at the end to hear those lovely 2JZ sounds

[@RADIndustries]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 thanks my man

[@hillbillywes100]

really appreciate this video, you are an engine master for sure! I enjoy seeing you using the tried and true methods that were was taught to me in the late 60's, becoming a 2 J fan the more I watch, Thanks!

[@RADIndustries]

Thanks Bud

[@the.ghost.behind.u]

Wooooo Wisconsin boys yeaaaa!!!!

[@zachr369]

Rad Dan with some great tips. Even as a professional auto tech I enjoy these types of videos, great stuff. Looking forward to seeing you in FD again. Best of luck.

[@RADIndustries]

Thanks dude

[@Smokey72013]

Very nice to see you be so thorough i could hear the sound of your voice when your pressure was a bit slow to come. Very nice job

[@RADIndustries]

I definitely care about each one of these engines, it’s the heart of the beast. Best part about race cars. The engine 🙌🏻

[@mrsam5350]

Thanks Dan, good to see how you do it 👍🏽

[@randydrifts]

I like the motor Build videos.

[@jacksin3323]

That oil pump/inlet trick is pretty nifty. Im gonna have to do that. I need to hit the website up for some forged internals. You guys got any new stickers?

[@Boostgravyy]

Hey boss great video like always. What’s the intro song ? Love it

[@albertcorreia3866]

Good stuff Dan 👍🏁

[@Gh0stSoLdI3R]

This was really fkn helpful, thanksfor all those lil tips! Im going to build my first and send it. thanks yet again to the raddest drifter

[@blaznmax8877]

Love the tips and tricks❤

i’m building a 2jz NAT on my channel for my sc300. where do i find a good wire harness? does a regular oem harness work or is there a specific kind i’d need. i want to cleanly tuck the harness away after i reinstall. I just only pulled the motor recently tho so 😂

[@frankom1528]

YES .... i see all the bits on you website ....but not a fully assembled eng.and or one like that ?! lol //// how much ?

[@RADIndustries]

They aren’t cheap

[@Richardpayet-d4b]

I love the 2jz cool engine

[@coryrobertson8921]

How do you feel about extra baffles for the lower pan? I have a front sump and was looking at the tomei kit.

[@HT2JZ]

I run the tomei one for my rear sump, 3 years on, will check them this winter/ next spring. I also run on e85 so I am bit concerned about them as I've heard stories about e85 and rubber, but then again if you have that much fuel dropping in oilpan you have other issues to worry about.. if I will remember, I'll post the answer here.

[@RADIndustries]

I have heard good stuff about that kit for the front sump. I haven’t needed one in the rear sump. But I wouldn’t say anything negative about. Probably would be good in a rear sump as well

[@jdub6797]

The wipes are a clean room wipe, clean room for medical device or semi conductor manufacturing.

[@the.ghost.behind.u]

Dan serious question. For a grassroots drift car (2000 GS300) im buying a new shortblock for the car n my power goals are 600hp reliably n want the car to last years of abuse, should i go brand new in box OEM 2jz-gte vvti shortblock for 3500 or spend fhe extra 1700 to get a fully built forged 2JZ-GE shortblock capable of 800hp thats fully machined, balanced blueprinted, drilled n tapped for oil return etc thats got Manley rods w/ upgraded rod bolts, Wiseco 10:1 pistons w/upgraded wrist pins, ACL bearings, ARP main studs?? I figured spending the little extra for a fully forged brand new engine would be the better bet knowing that its capable of more n stronger so itd last longer at 600hp than the OEM GTE shortblock.

[@RADIndustries]

OEM is fine dude

[@Brinks84]

What RTV are you using it wasn’t Toyota’s FIPG. Subaru RTV? Great build video. You need to sell those wipes to clean the head and block surface. Or a link would be good.

[@madkas14]

Ita probably Honda RTV

[@Victor-t1j5s]

Its probably threebond

[@jdub6797]

Set at 60BTDC is the way to do it!! Valves will not hit as all pistons are down.

[@mkivst180]

do you need to apply grease on the stud that goes to block?

[@RADIndustries]

The smallest amount possible. Anything but the smallest touch of grease and it will come out of the threads and get in the head gasket, which you don’t want.

[@mkivst180]

@@RADIndustries ah that make sense. i guess on block side of the stud no need grease then. just the nut side of the stut need grease. will that work?

[@skylix_1x111]

Question have you tried peeping the pump with Vaseline? Do you not like it?

[@RADIndustries]

I haven’t done that yet, but would work fine

[@jaredcross8752]

Nice

I want that shirt.

[@Pogotheclown935]

Thats a pretty fire shirt lmao

[@e.3-0_m3]

What would you rev this engine too with that head set up

[@jahbroni8536]

we rev it to 7600-7800 could go higher but no need to. the dyno graph is still climbing at redline its not even flatneing out yet and torque is flat at redline also not dropping.

[@e.3-0_m3]

@@jahbroni8536 cool that is a good set up and no problems at that revs and hydraulic lifters... have you a hard limiter on it that's what cause problems must of the time

[@krimoaintaya366]

How much does an engine hold 2jz

[@DriftManiac091]

I believe that the stock internals can hold up to 1000hp, this is what I have read online so I don't know for certain but a engine block can go up to around 2000 to 2500 hp

[@feelgoodhorizon4084]

whatever you want, until it breaks. stock is safe at 500-600ish and 700 with really good setup, healthy engine, and tuner. after that i believe the crank caps start being a weaklink around 800-900(again depends), at which point people usually just do whole shortblock since you have to make a machine shop trip for main caps anyway. BUT it could also blow up at 300hp. depends alot on how its done, the tune, and your engine, no engine is the same, close but never same. factory freaks and factory lemons in all cars are real for a reason. Engines assembled on mondays are usually badluck, but you'll never know that info.

[@804MRMAN]

@@feelgoodhorizon4084 You are about right. There are actually 4 different versions ( RAD has a video on that ).

[@madkas14]

Stock bottom end 2JZ record is 1106whp by The Zupra Channel. Personally, we made 850whp on stock bottom end.

[@804MRMAN]

@@madkas14 How long did it last

[@CPTSaveAHoe247]

Yall ever build a 1JZ?

[@RADIndustries]

Not yet, hopefully one day

[@Marko-JZX100]

So 11:1 static compression with vvt-i and only tiny 264 cams? Good luck getting any decent spark advance to not run near knock threshold even with alcohol (E85) based fuels. Dynamic compression is gonna be all over the roof with intake advanced using vvti, and most likely excessive cylinder pressures are not letting to run anywhere near optimal cam timing. Hopefully the turbo going on that engine is not EMAP generator... Quality looking build otherwise.

[@Hoopers_s]

I swear. Every behind cam gear cover is short shoted and not all there.

[@Tabooza]

Dan give us a detailed step by step 2jz build video, how to degree an engine etc. Shit im sure alot of ppl would purchase it
