Guest saahild Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Hello everyone .. I am just working on a bit of a toyota based kit car and want to use the 2jzgte with either the v160 or the auto box, not too fussed either way tbh but basicaly i was just wondering how big is the engine? would someone mind popping down to their car with a tape measure and getting rough dimensions of the engine bay or the engine prity prity please. Just want to see if it will fit the engine bay of the shell i want to fit it in. It is a prity big engine bay but still just in case. Thanks in advance.

Ian C Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Don't forget you'll need a lot of frontal area for the radiator and the intercooler as well. Precluded my daydreams of putting one in a locost... -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest saahild Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Yup i know... Which is why idealy measurements of the engine bay as a whole would be better so as to account for the radiator and all. I think it will be a very tight fit but I am quite sure it should just about fit in there. Just need some rough dimensions of the engine bay just to double check. The 3sgte fits in with room to spare so if the 2jz is a similar size then it should fit in with some shoehorning and hammering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 I was also wondering about this the other day when our FreeLander head gasket went for the 3rd bloody time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 You're only saying that cos it's true. It's difficult to get exact measurements with all that shit in there but as far as I can make out: 770mm between the strut towers. Probably need 740mm min gap to get the 2JZ into. 780mm from the bulkhead to front of crank pulley 870mm from the bulkhead to front of viscous fan 1010mm from the bulkhead to front of radiator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
