2jzRanger · Jun 18, 2009

Finaly recieve it today,engine looks in very good condition.Probably next week we will start on the swap.

Take lots of pics of this swap. Your are charting unknown waters...

RGMs03 · Jun 19, 2009

good choice of engine, what kind of turbos are you going to use?

2jzRanger · Jun 19, 2009

Yes sure i'll keep you guy's updated with pic's and the installing of this engine.The 2jzgte is the twin turbo version of the 2jz motors,so for now it will remain in it's stock form.After when i have everything in the truck and it's nice and running i will start doing upgrades to it.

This should be an interesting nightmare. I can't imagine what you are going to do for bulkhead clearance. Side clearance should also be interesting, the turbo side might be alright but the intake side will be an interesting challange due to the position of the starter. I won't even mention intercooler piping.
What are you going to do about the electronics?, I'm guessing megasquirt.
If you can shoehorn it in there it it should make for an interesting ride. the last 2jzgte with megasquirt I saw on the dyno put out over 500rwh.

Hey Martin nothing to worry about there is enough room for the engine and intercooler.

This was with the 4.0L setup.

martin · Jun 19, 2009

I'm anxious to see the progress on this. The hole that these motors originate from is quite large, and it's a tight fit at that. can't imagine how tight the fit is going to be here. I notice you have already removed the heater box, don't see that going back. Are you going to run with the auto box or change to something else?

2jzRanger · Jun 20, 2009

Don't let the pic's fool you,the engine looks bigger in the pic's than it realy is.As for trans yes i will run with the auto for now.Also if you compare the auto trans from the 2jzgte to the manual from the truck it's almost the same size,actualy the M/T is a little more wider than the auto trans.Lengt wise there is no problem.

2jzRanger · Jun 21, 2009

Here is a small vid of the 2jz start up

MagnaV30 · Jun 22, 2009

And here I thought I was the first one to think of doing this.

Ill be staying tuned to see how you do it.

those turbos sound nice. cool project

SWEET SWAP!! BTW if you haven't already read and your thinking of doing some head work on the 2j you should swap it for the 1j head because it flows better than the 2j because the 1j was designed by yamaha and the 2 was by toyota. Hope this helped keep us posted man!

2jzRanger · Jun 23, 2009

Test fitting the engine yesterday,side clearance is ok,transm is ok,hood is ok.Mod's that has to be make are custom built engine brackets to fit the original ranger mounts and modding the engine cross member a little to clear the oilpan so the engine can sit lower.
Some pic's,

Some other mod's has to be done to the front of the truck to able to fit radiator (the stock radiator can't be used) and the intercooler but it can be done

What kind of toyota vehicle did that engine come out of? That motor looks perfect for the truck and sounds great. That ranger is going to scream going down the road!! I almost want to hold off putting a v-6 in my ranger and put a v-8 in it but that takes more money to do.
