Same here. I started reading thinking this thread would be the one but it ended with a tragedy. Now im at a dead end. Don't know what to do with my FD conversion project now. Anyone know of a way to get a stock hood to work with the 2jz? I'm trying to see if I can get the stock hood to work so I'll know 100% that the Veilside Fortune kit's hood will work as well.

 

i actually bought the car and have a new subfame i made that clears the stock hood using a greedy style manifold. i did modify the front to make the TB exit to the front not at a angle. All i have to say about the prior swap parts is i canot belive there were 2 people that stupid, one dumb enought to fab something that poorly thinking its legit and another to let them put it on there car.

 

here are some pics. 5 inches from pan to ground

 

here are the rear diff brace, trans crossmember and PS rack mounts

 

a few more of the stuff befor i had it coated. the mounting plate for the trd mounts is 1/2" plate steel and the box tubing is 1.5" with 1/4" wall

 

i am waiting on the exhaust manifold flange to start building the twin scroll manifold with dual vband 38's i already bought. ill be running a HTA86 i had on my civic, it made 748 on my civic at 32psi. i replaced the t3.82 hot side i had on it with a t4 1.06 so it should have a very nice power band on the 2j. i have a dual 255 setup i made with 8an feed and 6an return feeding a ross machine racing fuel raill and FIC 1650's(e85 here i come) i am looking to max out the turbo, i have no idea what that will be but i am guessing around 650whp( i need to look and seee what 75lbs per min turbos do on 2j's) i will be ordering my Pro efi in about a month so i should be trying to start it then. o yea im running a r154 trans with a os qiken twin disk. i am looking to do paint and wheels this winter and a 6speed v160 and cobra 8.8 rear after that.

 

tie rod angle with bumpsteer kit, it clears the stock wheels with the suspention fully compressed

 

What did you end up paying for it?

 

it was a good enough deal to save it...

 

I hate to say it, but... I think we all saw that coming.

Good work on trying to resurrect it.
Backyard "faux-gineers" upset me...

 

got the intake mani all welded up and ready for the new TB

 

Where did you get your extensions for the bumpsteer kit? I need some for my swap.

 

they came on the car, he said they were henson super car ones

 

Sweet!

 

Car is all together... pro efi issues now.

 

Any updates?

With my 2JZ swap, we ended up relocating the steering rack forward to where it clears the oil-pan and is now completely straight across. It sits at the stock-height now as well.

We had to extend the steering column, shorten the tie-rods, and make some custom brackets for the front swaybars.

No bumpsteer issues now, though.

:]

 

This site hates me it never let's me upload pictures. I also moved my rack forward. I wish I was a little more computer savvy

Finally got some more pics up.

 

Car is up and running. 630tq 660 hp on e85 500/500 on pump ran 11.5 @130 on pump(20psi) 2.0 60ft

 

That's great news! Mines is almost complete. Where did you get your wiring done by the way

 

Nice save any videos of the dyno or drag run?

 

I'll have to see if I can find some.

 

Sad half the pictures are gone in this thread. I was hoping to see the subframe pics
