I actually just started a new job with Honda R&D and have been really busy with moving, but the steady salary should mean some more progress is coming :).

Sweet as then
|
Back on track finally! Ordered some goodies this week like GSX S2 cams, billet timing tensioner, timing belt, etc. This car will be finished by spring.
|
That's awesome man, it's gonna be so clean when it's finished. Great fabrication, definitely makes me want to get a welder and practice up so more so bad.

Bump. ;)
Anything new to report? |
Engine was torn down, head was cleaned up, valve springs and seals installed, oil pump installed, made the fuel rail, and a bunch of odds and ends. Exhaust will be going out to get ceramic coating soon.

Some good news. A magazine in the UK wants to do an article on 2JZ swaps and will feature my subframe and car in it!
|
Bump for the best 2JZ swap build yet.
By far the cleanest and most PROFESSIONAL of us all. |

I know how much help I got from this and v8rx7forum back when I was doing my LS6 FD, so I don't mind helping out the swapping community with the experience I have with these cars.:icon_tup: |

FINALLY, some more progress. Working on some wiring. I removed all unnecessary wires and am using some Deutsch connectors at the firewall:
