TransitVanMan

a rover V8 goes in no probs - the JZ is longer but thinner and the g/box on a transit is huge it'll just take up that space

haha.... but i'm putting it in the front:D

i'm gonna put a 2JZGTE in my Transit van:d what do you guys think??? waste of a good engine :innocent:or nice idea:cool:

needs lowering a bit tho

thats me - i'm not a mechanic, i'm a maintenance engineer

i see what you mean but this is what we couldnt understand, the crack in the h/g is so slight it couldnt get the volume of water back through - the car has run fine since the overheating incident - since the old rad had cracked and was replaced with the ally one no water went in the oil no oil in the water and its ran for months with no leaks - then this hapened:( the cyl was full of water when i took the plug out it flooded out - i cant believe that it had been running like that without hydraulicing the engine - the chances of it parking up on the exhaust stroke every time seem very unlikely and as said the h/g crack was so slight i was expecting damage in the head or block but we cant see any - before we investigated it the car drove spot on other than the vibrations on idle:(

just searching for the measurment of the allowable tolerance on the head before it needs a regrind - do you know what it is?

eventually got round to getting the head off today! block looks ok but the h/g has a crack in it and it looks like it had delaminated- it's so fine you wouldnt have thought that it would have caused so much water to get in there but as theres no other evident damage it must be that has anyone had a similar experiance with a cracked h/g delaminating like this ?? all in all a good result tho

good to know - i'll email them to check have you got any pics of it fitted in your car?

how was it to fit mate? did it line up ok need any modding etc. cheers

yep - i was looking at the kit from XS (not to buy lol) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2JZGTE-GT45-Single-Turbo-Conversion-2JZ-550-675-WHP-/230553830911?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item35ae1445ff and it looks like the same manifold but braced

i'm ok with a welder - the last pair (for a v6) i made myself but for the price of these it's hardly worth the time and effort

anyone got any helpfull feedback on either of these products off ebay is the only difference the grade of stainless? and do the turbo's sit in the same position on both? Cheers:) XS power £178 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/93-98-TOYOTA-SUPRA-2JZGTE-T4-Flange-Turbo-Manifold-/290442475962?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item439fb879ba or JDM £142 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Toyota-Supra-Soarer-2JZ-GTE-Race-Turbo-Exhaust-Manifold-/120648902824?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1c173c28a8

can anyone post a picture showing this additional support? cheers:)

i think thats the best thing to do:) - we havent had time to get at it so far this week thats all:(

only £££ just thinking tho a leakback test will only show that weve got a break into the waterway - it wont show us it its via the block or the h/g will it???

we're pritty certain we have a f:taped:k'd engine no. 6 cyl was full of water - its just deciding if its worth paying somone to strip it then finding out it needs a block and a head and it'd have been cheeper just to drop a new engine in and rebuild this one at our lesure when we have the luxury of time to find parts at reasonable prices:) if it was gonna be a definate headgasket then we could just go down that road but these 2 posts makes me think were in for more than just a h/g:( problem is the car is a daily driver and we could do with it back up and running out of interest anyone know the book hours for getting the head off ? cheers for the help so far:)

what test would he be able to do ?

cracked block:taped: before we split it wonder if its worth doing any more tests - leak test??? but would it show us anything??? cheers:)

hi guys, (it was me who did the compression test) i dont know much about these engines - is cyl no.6 a common one for the head gasket to go on? and are we likely to be looking at anything else cracked block,,,, head etc:( and what about the fact we have water in the oil aswell is this common??? likley to have happened at the same time?? just weighing up options at the moment any pointers appreciated:cool:

this is more like it:d Hiace 2jz:cool: http://www.youtube.com/user/mx118racer#p/a/u/0/0jUa-_yaTNY http://www.youtube.com/user/mx118racer#p/a/u/1/9Jhbr1WSu-Y http://www.youtube.com/user/mx118racer#p/u/4/eeBbQy0EZNY
