1jz build



So I finally got my 1jz!!! Thanks to ace up motorsports for helping me find one. Also big thanks to dylan from elevens paint and fiber for letting me leave my motor there. Now that the motor was here, it was time to start wrenching. So janne (my gf) and I decided to do that build at her house. Not only we are swapping the 1jz in my s13 hatch, we are taking out the sr20det and putting it into a s13 coupe that I purchase months ago. On top of that my gf just sold her car and got a s14. Which means Im pretty much working on 3 cars. There goes my summer... So I made a parts list on what I would need and so far Ive got a great start!

cam seals
front main seal
rear main seal
valve cover gasket
ngk spark plugs
timing belt
serpertine belt
pulleys
motor mounts
water pump
front oil sump
fuel rail
injectors
exhaust manifold
gt3071r
radiator
spec stage 3 clutch
drift motion flywheel

 This build is becoming a money pit! about more then half way off my parts list but still alot to do. But ordering parts is one thing but working on the motor is another. I replace my cam seals, front main seals, and water pump. My rear oil sump is off and my front oil sump is cleaned, painted, and ready to install. I also painted ITM. Fuel injectors and rail is ready to go in. Before I do that I still want to clean up the block. Its such a pita but it really needs it. So far everything going smooth with the build. Ive already got some info on plumbing so once everything is back on, im going to do that next along with vaccume lines.
