2JZGE to 2JZGTE Swap Questions

supraman623 · 07-30-2010, 08:04 AM

im actually in the middle of doing the same thing. i have a 95 na that had a manual tranny in it. i have the shop manual for the car and did a lot of research before i started so i knew what i was gettin into. im just a normal guy probably just like yourself with a pretty good knowledge of cars but not a mechanic. it def can be done but it isnt very cost effective. the price really changes depending on if you want to go with a 6 speed or an auto. if you want to do the 6 speed which is the v160 tranny then you will need an entire new driveline as well. this is what i did. i had to find a differential that would handle the power. i got an lsd out of a 94 tt supra for 1300 then i had to buy the motor and tranny and ecu which was 5000 then i had to get the slave cylinder it was about 150. then there was a lot of little stuff like the intercooler and piping an nuts and bolts that i didnt have and so on. im not finished yet but i know wants i have everything in i will probably need to get the motor tuned as well. trust me its a lot of work. if you can i would just buy a tt. hope this helps

Myself im a mechanic actually, for BMW, but if you know how to turn screws and research stuff in shop manuals, you can do this. As for buying the TT, its a little too late for that cuz im pretty much 3/4 of the way through the swap but i love the fact that not many people did this, also ive seen people buy abs delete kits or put na brake master cyl. on their TT so thats one thing i wont have to do. I dont know where u live but for me here in canada, buying a TT that is completely stock and beaten to shit would be 20,000$, im at 11,500$ right now that i have invested (including the price of the car), my car is not gunna be stock and plus thats including a nitrous kit also, lets say i have about 5000$ left to put on it for the driveline and brake upgrade, im still only at 16,500$ and have a machine that outperforms a stock TT and is in much better shape beacause im redoing the steering rack, ball-joints and all that stuff, also a hell of a lot cleaner. So for me its worth it!!! plus im having fun doing it!!!
