2JZ Swapping my 350Z: Part 1: Introducing the car, preparing the new motor

This is the first installment in this video series, where I'll be documenting how to swap a 2JZ into a 350z from start to finish, covering all the steps, parts, costs, and headaches involved in the project. In this video, I go over the history of my 350z, explain why I'm 2JZ swapping it, and show the process of refreshing my new 2JZ. Also included is humor courtesy of my fine personality. I hope you enjoy!

    Great video audio tutorial commentary editing. What state do you live in ? State car is registered in ? Curious for EPA / SMOG requirements. What transmission ? What bell housing ? What clutch to use ? Engine harness ? Thanks in advance Subscribed & liked 👍

  • @JacobRosproy

    @JacobRosproy

    Жыл бұрын

    Thank you! The car is registered and kept in Kansas, EPA restrictions are next to none here. The transmission will be the original CD009 that comes with the 350z, using the standard bell housing. I’ll be running a Collins Adapter to mate the 2JZ to the trans. (The motor will push the trans back so you’ll need a shorter driveshaft, and a shifter relocation kit will also be needed) Collins sells different stages of clutches with those kits, so I’ll be selecting the clutch that’s closest to my power/torque goals, likely stage 3. I plan to make the harness myself- there’s going to be sensors I need to add in for the VVTi and sensors I need to delete as well, but I do know that they make pre-built harnesses for this swap, so give it a quick search on Google.

    Your input probably saved me a bunch of money and headaches!...You convinced me to considerr a different power source as opposed to a rebuild of this cars 2003 VQ..Thanks!!…NOW!!, where do I look

  • @JacobRosproy

    @JacobRosproy

    Жыл бұрын

    If I were you, I’d find a 2JZGE VVTI, get 2JZ NON-VVTI Pistons and Rods, and get a turbo kit. I went with a GTE VVTI cylinder head (which was optional and something I desired), but if you’re trying to save money, just stick with the GE VVTI cylinder head and do a turbo kit. Ultimately it’s going to cost more than rebuilding the vq, but you will get more power per dollar, and have a platform that you can continue to upgrade down the line. eBay and marketplace will be your best friends on finding good deals. Import shops will run a higher price but tend to have higher quality parts. If you have more questions, hmu and I’ll try to help out!
