Hi,
Some background
About a year ago i decided to swap out the SR20 in my S14 for a 2JZ. The guy i was buying the engine from also had a v161 which he offered me so i decided to take it as well, thinking i could hold on to it for a while and maybe use it or sell it later. Then i decided to go a different route with the s14 so i found myself with a 2jz gte and v161.
So naturally i decided to look for a supra. At first i was looking at N/A Autos but quickly decided that it would be easier to start with a manual. After a few months i picked a good condition NA Supra.
It already has the front brakes upgraded.
Now I've read through many posts of people saying its not worth it, just buy a TT6 and be done. Reasons i don't want to do that.
Already have the following parts:
Non VVTi 2JZ GTE With loom
6 Speed Gearbox v161
Link G4 Supralink
Greedy intercooler (from other project)
Large radiator with electric fans(from other project)
Complete Subframe from twin turbo supra including diff (lsd) , driveshafts, etc
Igniter from twin turbo supra
Tach from twin turbo supra
Twinplate clutch including throw out bearing
Two Bride seats with jza80 seatrails
Walbro 255 fuel pump
Now i know i could just start selling this stuff and buy a tt6 but besides having these parts i really enjoy building cars, the NA5 also is in really good condition and in a rare color. Plus i travel for work often so i dont really want the hassle of trying to sell parts from abroad.
So i have used the search bar on here and it did produce lots of helpful information but i still find myself with some questions.
First any modifications required to the harness going from a w58 to a v161? are the plugs the same? can i just plug in it and it will work?
I believe there is an issue with the tachometer unless you get a tt6 one, which i did , however is there also any issues with the speedometer?
I have an igniter from a twin turbo but if i decide to delete it with different coils does that effect the tacho? And if so what is the solution?
In one of the stickys it said you need the throttle control ecu but ive read that you dont need it unless you want traction control which i dont. Is this true and if i dont plug it in do i get any warning lights?
Ive seen posts where people say you need the relay for the fuel pump and other posts that say you dont, just want to know if there is any modifications to the fuel system , i have a 255 spare if required but more interested in the wiring side. no hassle if i have to wire in a fuel pump switch.
Parts i don't have yet:
Intercooler piping
Exhaust
If anyone has done this swap , any information would be greatly appreciated. I read many auto to manual swaps and na to turbo but cant find information on this particular swap. If ive missed anything or any parts please let me know.
Cheers
