2JZGE to 2JZGTE Swap Questions

[dtm888]

You guys are both right. I am trying to get tips on buying this car, but at the same time I want to know what/how to do certain things to look kow what I'm looking for, but I buy the car.

I thank you for all the info, it helps me tremdously when going to look at the car and know what to look for, listent to, and take some small things apart to see is there were oil leaks.

So none of the postings are useless


Oh, and to answer your question PWPanas,

I don't have a supra, I've been looking at one I wan to buy, so I'm asking these questions to know what to listen for, and look for before getting myself into one. Thus I don't have a TSRM.

I understand why you don't have a TSRM yet, but you asked a question about a job that is quite involved. If you really want to take all of the intake piping of the oem twin turbos, it's a very involved job...one you definitely should have a TSRM handy for. Perhaps you can borrow one, or find one one going for a reasonable price on ebay? Either way, best of luck on your search...

In addition, thanks for your post to smooth the situation over!

Hi guys.

93.5, how does the 2JZ-GTE feel through the N/A's W58 tranny compared to the V160?

It feels broken, especially if you put a bigger turbo on the 2jz-gte. The W58 won't handle the power.

Thanks for replying. I hear you. I read on a technical section of a different Supra forum that the W58 can safely handle (I stand corrected with this figure) around 300rwkw (roughly 410HP) which is more than what the stock 2JZ-GTE puts out. By that they mean that you can open up the boost even more on a GTE and not worry about the tranny breaking if you're running it thru a W58. What do you think?

A completely stock 2jz-gte means stock turbos...and 410rwhp is right at what most BPU 2jz-gte's do (6spd). The record for a new 2jz-gte with new oem twins, bpu'd, is about 475rwhp. Personally, I'd never run a tranny that was right on the edge of breaking, but I guess that's your choice. I wish you all the luck in the world, because you'll probably need it. If you don't want to depend on luck, get the transmission that was designed to go with the 2jz-gte - the V160.

Wait a second, I never said I have or am going to buy a Supra Turbo with a W58, lol. I know that the V160 is the ultimate tranny for the Supra Turbo, no doubt about that. Reason why I asked is because, I have the option of buying a stunningly beautiful JDM '93 RZ 6MT BPU++ or wickedly beautiful JDM '95 SZ turned RZ 5MT APU+. The '95 Turbo with 5MT just makes me wonder what the torque and HP characteristics are since it's unusual for the "Big Boss" GTE to be mated to what was designed for the "Boss" GE. I'm already leaning towards the '93 but, it's still a hard choice to make...

The previous owner of the '95 Supra clearly had the money to buy a Getrag if he wished but, since he didn't, perhaps it was built stronger or just his preference...
