Since we all love cars, I figure I share my latest project my 95 240sx with a 1JZ.. so lets start from the beginning shall we?
Here is how the car looked when I first got it
A little rough on the outside, but the interior was flawless, that's all I really cared about
Car was already turbo and it had a bunch of great parts, AEM V2, Precision 6262, custom long tube manifold etc, engine had a lose timing belt chain and needed a tune so off she went to the shop
After debating what to do (fix current motor or build a new one) I decided to go ahead and build a new KA24DE, wanted to see what I could do w/it so off the car and to the machine shop
Full rebuild .20 CP pistons / Eagle Rods / 264 Cams the works..
While the engine was out I figured it would be a good time to paint the car
Very happy with the final product, electron blue
Also got new wheels in the process and coilovers
After breaking in was completed, off to the dyno she went
.
440rwhp @ 21PSI on 93 octane
Car was a blast on the street

So after enjoying the car for a few months, a friend of mine decided that he wanted my KA-t so I traded him for his 1JZ.
Removing the motor
And is out
Last time I didn't get a chance to paint the engine bay, so I figured since is out again lets paint it to match the rest of the car
Much better! Time to tear into the 1JZ, stripped down to check bearings / rings and paint
Looking good, time to put the head / new headgasket on
Also I wanted a little extra BLING with this second build so I send out all the parts to be polished
At this point I was debating if I should build my R154 or buy one already done, after some searching I found this awesome R154 in the forums so I bought it
All new Marlin Crawler parts and looking fresh.. Time to assemble the engine
Half way there
New engine / transmission brakets
Motor semi-finish
Time to go in the car for a test fit
Like a GLOVE!
Still lots left to do Wiring / clutch / new brake lines etc hopefully 2 more weeks before she is on the road again, I will update the thread with more pics as I get them.
