Hey man! Not sure if the timing is different since you based it off the harmonic dampener but for VVTI it's supposed to be the line, not the dots. With the VVTI gear you rotate it clock wise fully till the line is aligned to the mark. Just trying to make sure all your hard work doesn't end in disaster 😂
You can use the lines on the gears if you used the main timing mark on the dampener and not the sub timing mark. If I turn it to the main timing mark, the gear lines line up. Either way works, I just did it the way the service manual shows
@@Teysik I assumed you probably did use the manual, keep up the good work man! I'm doing an NA-T build in a 99 Tacoma so I love seeing others doing the same stuff. I just finished my turbo oil lines, gotta finish all the electrical 😂
@@Teysik I also lined mine from the trigger wheel on the crank, not the balancer. That's why I thought you may be right. Just wanted to make sure, don't want your hard work going to waste man
@@Teysik yeah, thank God I actually enjoy wiring! I'm an ET in the navy so it's kinda what I do 😂 let me know if you need anything boss! Probably not by the looks of it though!
I did this with my turbo n/a 2J build. Running 15psi on the waste gate. I put it in my 74 Datsun 260Z. I have a 92 Supra intercooler on it all blacked out.

Great video! I'm going to be doing this build for my is300 as an engine refresh and getting it ready for boost. Your videos are going to be great reference once I get in the garage and start breaking down the engines and combining them.
@@Teysik couple of quick questions, did you do anything to the cylinder walls to prep them, did you reuse the vvti engine oil pump and what brand/kind of engine prep solution did you use when putting the camshafts back in? Thank you for the insight!

from experience I highly recommend anyone doing this to take the head to machine shop and let them do the valve job and resurface the head and install guide seals. They will also blast the head and it will look brand new. usually 2-300$ bucks but saves so much time and energy and piece of mind. Because what if the junkyard motor had a warped head etc from running hot and they junked the car..
Are you running a stock ge fuel rail? Did you just add a banjo to AN conversion fitting. One fuel line to rail with no return? Then, just have the regulator you added return fuel to tank ?

Great video dude! You're not getting the views you deserve yet but I hope you do! Pls do a total cost video if you can because I'm very curious. Also I recently found out that my grandfather worked at BorgWarner, and he was a centrifugal pump designer, so I'm 90% sure he designed turbos at BorgWarner.
I didn’t use AN for valve covers. Just used factory nipples with Rubber hoses and hoseclamps. I’ll probably upgrade to AN in the future, but that’s more for aesthetics
The video series is very good, all very well detailed, good luck with the project. 21:55 It is better to use the top cover, if any stone or something falls on the belt it can cause a problem.
am i doing a non vvti block with a vvti head myself and had a question. i’m confused on how the whole crank position sensor works? i’ve been seeing i need a trigger wheel and tt oil pump so i can run the sensor? and how do i install the trigger wheel if i do need it?
The distributor is on the non vvti head which I’m not using. Swap the vvti oil pump onto non vvti block and you have your crank sensor. Cam sensors are on the vvti head
Nice build man,but I check you part list for this build and is like $ 10k for all the parts with out the transmission with all the work involved I think is easy to buy a 2jz gte engine and only add single turbo kit
A 2jz gte is $6k or more. And you still need almost every other part on my list. No way you’re doing it for less than $14k unless you use stock auto transmission
Very good content, considering taking this on myself... Couple of questions if anyone can help, share their knowledge... Should the head be skimmed or is it fine not to, and also will the piston rings gaps be OK for the higher temps ran in a turbo application
You can use a straight edge to get an idea if the head is warped or not. It has to be pretty bad for the head gasket to not seal. Gapping the rings a little looser would definitely be beneficial, but not necessary for 500hp
Hey man, just one more question, what did you do with the oil pump? Did you use the one from the vvti engine or got another one I've heard the non vvti does not have the hole for the crank shaft sensor.
Hey man, great video series and always good to see more NA-T content on UA-cam. I'm curious, what exhaust manifold is that, and how much was it if you don't mind me asking, and finally what engine management do you plan on using with this build?
Drift motion manifold, got it from a friend for cheap but I think they’re $250-300. The goal is to use link ecu but don’t know if the budget will allow for it

The cross over intake tube is actually a functional component as it dramatically increases torque.
Only in NA boosted its not really needed and adds restrictions

You just take the oil pump and trigger wheel from the vvti engine. You basically want to use all vvti parts except the block and internals
Quick question on the Turbo NA-T, did you have to put a cam position sensor in for the Turbo set up in the head?
The Ge vvti engines already have one cam sensor in the head, which will suffice
With your swap, did you get new oem sensors for the block? All mine were cut and not sure if they're in working order.
Nah I reused the old stuff. You can try to test them to see if they’re functional, but most of those sensors don’t go bad very often
How are you going about feeding oil to the vvti solenoid
Drift motion makes a line that connects it to the stock oil pressure sensor. Then I’ll use a port on the oil filter sandwich plate for oil pressure
I was your 1000th sub :)
Thank you!!!!!!! ❤️
what did you end up doing about the crank position sensors considering the non vvti has a distributor that looks like you removed?
The distributor is on the non vvti head which I’m not using. Swap the vvti oil pump onto non vvti block and you have your crank sensor. Cam sensors are on the vvti head

Drift motion
i have a dumb question. is that a rear sump or mid sump. i am trying to swap my e36 and i wanna know which oil pan i need
Technically I believe it is a mid sump. The GEs came with either front or mid, and mid is the one you need

Are you running the stock pistons and rods from the non vvti engine?
Yes, they’ve been used up to 700hp without issue
I was looking at your parts list and was wondering if those are all required to purchase seperately or if some come already on the engine?
None of the parts listed other than the engines themselves came with the engines.
Should do a purple camo valve cover.... wouldn't have to repaint the whole thing and it will be original
That would be cool, but not my style

Hey man, just one more question, what did you do with the oil pump? Did you use the one from the vvti engine or got another one I've heard the non vvti does not have the hole for the crank shaft sensor.

How are you going to give the VVTI cam gear Oil pressure?
It will be in my next video, but drift motion sells a line that feeds it off the oil pressure sensor port

I had the oil pan off to swap it and inspected the internals at that time, but that’s it.
