- Zach from ECU Master stopped by the shop so I had him chat to us about JZ engines. I ask him the differences between the 1JZ and the 2JZ, and all the different versions. We learn their limitations, why they work so well, where they came from, who designed them, and much more. Drifting has been a showcase for the 2JZ engine because drifting is so abusive on engines, but the JZ just keeps on plugging along. They have great oiling systems, they sound amazing, and they can make huge HP and still spool a turbo just fine. We even chat about how to make these motors shoot fire balls.
I had never really seen a FAQ video about the JZ engine, so I figured I would just make one. Also, he answered a lot of questions about all the different variants of the JZ engine, such as the 2JZ-GTE 2JZ-GE 1JZ-GTE VVTI vs non VVTI, even the direct injection 2JZ.
*Aaron... This right here. You Sir do great "conversation interview/questionnaires" Some folks might not appreciate the talking videos but learning something is always great!*
Glad you enjoyed it.
more of these please
@@LoneStarDrift
Agreed ... this interviewee isa genius
@@jamescarlin569 I need more ideas for them, what else should I film?
Lone Star Drift uhmm cocain n hookrs lol jk ...uhh your channel is the type of thing I envy but not really do because I'm broke?? I wanna trade my 700 raptor for this 95 sc300 around the corner ...lemme think
When Toyota call Yamaha for help it turns out legendary collaboration. JZ engine, the LFA sound.
Soooooo from what I watched.....
For the GE's:
Port/Machine the head
Rods/pistons
Valve seals
Timing belt
NA-T setup
I have a stock 1j non vvti and I love it! Sounds so good, straight piped on 11psi in a s14 zenki
I want to shake your hand.
Hey man! I'm not sure if you still use this account or not but if you do I have a few questions if you don't mind talking about it, I appreciate it!
Most if not all videos about a JZ engine is just hear say. This video you can tell it's all from a person that has EXPERIENCE in owning and building JZ engine for a living.
Yeah I caught that from it too. Refreshing hearing info from an actual professional rather than clickbait chasers 1uping with a swap.
I just finished my na-t sc300 this weekend!
Nice!
Thanks, good information without researching forums for hours.
This has convinced me that 1j swapping my is200 is a good idea. Was pondering the idea for a while, but this has me convinced
The intro at the end was awesome!
I've jumped on the emu ship thanks to all of Zack videos and n.america email response and support!! Was gonna go maxx ecu but their support was garbage. Thanks Zack!
I have a '94 SC300 (2JZ-GE, 5-speed manual) with an aftermarket turbo (338 rwhp @ 13 psi). For years I was plagued by exhaust leaks between the head and manifold. I finally fixed the issue. Some of the studs had stripped out of the aluminum head and I installed Helicoils. The other issue was that the cast iron manifold itself was warped. It had to be removed and the mating face machined flat. I reinstalled the manifold with doubled graphite gaskets between it and the heads. I also fabricated and installed an 1/8" thick solid copper gasket between the manifold and turbo. Since those repairs I haven't had any further issues with the engine.
I LOVE....LOVE how he mentioned changing the valve stem seals and i just got mine done for my daily driver.
Zach at ECUMASTER is awesome man! He helped me start my 7MGTE engine in my Mk3 Supra 2years ago.
And now he just gave me advise on how to setup triple fuel pumps for my 2JZGTE Mk3 Supra.
Please do the rb engine next, so many ppl are unaware of the capabilities of the legendary rb here in the states and it's annoying!
ClutchkickPJ my boi big up aye dem bwoi sleep....cressida and cresta had di 1j the one before was the 7mGTE
nooo then the prices will go up
I think the the rb has a very nice distinct sound but the 2j takes it for performance?
@@ceerodrigue1970 . Beets it buy a huge margin if you don't get the right gtr engine.....
@@notsahsoj5155 its to late the prices is already sky high
wow, been doing research for a 2j swap... so glad this video exists.
the 'E' in toyota engine codes means it's electronic fuel injected, Zack is super chill, cool dude, knows his stuff well and is not ashamed to say he doesn't know something. some background on me, i work as a tech in a toyota dealership so i get to use that magic rtv and it indeed seals everything to everything. god i wish engine swapping was legal in belgium i'd so immediatly start on a boosted E36 1jz... my god.
I heard Jesus was involved in the engineering of the JZ motors! 🧖🏿♂️👀
not even close as those engines are from hell, (notice the flames the always spit out of the exhaust)
JZ = Jesus + Zeus
All that that old fool did was turn water to high octane fuel ⛽️
Jesus built my hotrod….. L00k! ua-cam.com/video/GXCh9OhDiCI/v-deo.html
Eric Kinder.... you heard correct.
hi everyone couple quick tips for building jzs as I have done a few, stock bottom end 2jzge non vvti are great just chuck a gte oil pump and crank trigger setup on them with a gte inlet cam with the cam trigger and you have a 9.5-1 comp 500whp reliable every day setup. personally I throw a 1jz head on them and run around 22psi of boost on e85 as when you put a 1jzgte head on the comp goes over 10-1. but there's a 500+hp setup for under 1k. happy drifting
Hi. Do you go single turbo ? Where is the best place to buy a jz ?
I believe the Cressida also came with 1j early 90’s
I am so dang happy you made this video.. Every piece of JZ information you could ever need in one video, well done my friend!
love the part about transmission options. idk why but interchangeable builds fascinate me. seeing a race setup built from Easter egg parts is gold.
I have a question, he mentions the failure point of the connection rods to be at about 650 ft-lb, does he mean 650 ft-lb at the wheels? Or at the crank? I really like to have an answer on this one if possible.
I love that you forgot to intro, did one, then didn't edit it to be in the front haha. Lots of good JZ information though.
This is my favorite video of yours. I would watch these for hours
I don't thumbs up videos often, but this one deserved it!
I loved this Aaron! You're a very good interviewer, I think your style in this video is something kinda fresh to the youtube automotive scene. I would personally love seeing a video just like this for LS's and RB's as well. Super informative content dude!
Great video Aaron good talk,This video makes me happy to own a jz, i have a is300 2jzge vvti sportcross/wagon here in the UK lexus only sold them as a auto here i did a manual swap 2 years ago using a W58 out of a mk4 supra 2jzge non vvti, got really simple drift mods works quite well just not a lot of drift days or events round my way so seat time has been low makes it hard to get it set up and dailed in.
Lex-Life Garage all the 2J vvti Alteza Gita variants in Japan are automatics too. The Gita does come with the 6 speed also but it’s only in the 3SGE version
Awesome video. Came upon a 02 is300 with a 2j vvti that a customer brought to us for a front wheel bearing. Was told dude was selling it. Offered $3000 and hopefully soon I'll own a sweet unassuming drift missle
This guy was awesome. Thanks for making this video!!
The 2jz first started out in the Toyota aristo
damonsta80 Yes that was the gen-1 Aristo with the flat headlights and flat rear tail light panel ... ugly old things
Alex T lmao
@@alext6081 the inside matters
Thanks Aaron. Real information is hard to come by.
i got a mk3 its not a mk4 but it still rocks
Me to :)
Hey hey, don’t condescend us MK3 owners. We are the Original Supra name holders where the “Celica” name was out of there.
This is an amazingly informative video and I appreciate the videos you do greatly. With that said, this is very hard to watch as you are interviewing him casting couch style and it is super awkward, as it appears Zach felt as well to a minor extent. My opinion for next interview style video you guys do like this maybe go a little more relaxed, between two ferns style type video, have a beer or two during, maybe smoke some crack. Anyways thanks for the upload!
2JZ Master! Thanks I found this very informative
the fireball question was the best!
I'm currently running a TH400 trans with my 2JZ-GTE
Most of this is very good information but I do have a few things to add, #1 the Pistons on the vvti 2jzge crack on the ringlands over 350whp if you don't have a great tuner, #2 the ge's doesn't have oil squirters in the block so people that drift tend to want to run them because of the better oil pressure because of lack of them, #3 an the reason why 1jzge head's are so popular on 2jzge's is because the intake manifold front facing, #4 an this is very important the stroke on a 1j is 71.5 an a 2j is 86 so by All rights they shouldn't be interchangeable I've never verified this but I don't see how it's possible, #5 Journal 1 on the 2j is 23mm and the rest are 20mm an all the journals on a 1j is 20mm, #6 vvti is great for drifting but not so much for drag after 600hp or so it's not useful an that's why big hp guys don't run vvti an the big hp guys that bought vvti 2jzge's just because of there availability eliminate the vvti system an run non vvti cams.
Thanks for the addition!
You're welcome Aaron, an thanks for the great videos an the effort you put in to keep drifting a awesome and fun sport.
Zach is no joke! Walking encyclopedia!
lol that 10 grand remark at the end is exactly what I was thinking.
I got a 1.5JZ single turbo 980hp in my 2007 honda s2000 perfect drifter high revs and better sounding engine and exhaust note.
JZ are really interesting engines, so well build. Will you do videos with the UZ and RB to ?
Probably not the UZ but I am interested in doping the RB.
Great vid guys super informative. Can't wait to finish my s14 2jz project now. One again great video
Cressida and cresta had the 1j ...the predecessor to the 1j was the 7MGTE....i grew up with J spec cars....good video great questions
Thanks!
Hands down this is the best put together jz info I've seen. Like you were bringing up there is so much contradicting and confusing info ntm you just don't know if the source is reputable usually.
I've used 5w-40 Rotella T6 in the turbo miata for a year or so and it's great stuff. Also, it ended my hydraulic lifter tick with it being a heavier weight than the oem weighted oil.
Wow this video is really great! No joke so many answers and so many great questions.
The 10 grand thing at the end was hilarious 😆
pls do this with bmw motors, my country has no jz's :( but great interview!
Import dude. Bmw suck balls
m50>jz
m50b25 is imho like being Keisuke to the jz being Ryosuke yknow, heavenly good, but not the best.
As i said, in my country there're no cars with rwd toyotas. So bmw's are my best option for drifting. If i could, i'd take jz any day, but...
bdusanek where do you live?
Imagine if Toyota actually tried and developed a 3JZ for the new Supra...what could’ve been
We can only hope
We may one day.
Considering that The Bavarians did the new Supra...
2jz fse are floating around in southern Africa commonly in the 9th gen mark 2 ,Toyota mark 2 blit, progress, brevis etc.
This is the perfect interview..much needed Info.
Thanks
@03:29 Dropping GE vvti Redpills on us!! I pulled my GE vvti motor out of the JY for 600 bucks!!!
2JZ-FSE uses direct injection with a higher compression ratio of 11.3:1, same power only offered with automatic transmissions and used In the Toyota Brevis, Progres, Crown, and Gita (altezza wagon thingy)
Have you ever driven one? I am very curious, I have never seen one in real life.
Lone Star Drift No I haven’t, would love too I haven’t even driven a a turbo jz motor just a 2jz-ge in an is300. I’d love to own a Toyota Progres it’s even more unsuspecting than a gs300 looks like a grandpa grocery getter.
Yep! The 2JZ-FSE is equipped on my IS300 SportX, which was only offered with an automatic trans.
This is so helpful! What a guy!
Waaaaahhhhtututu for the past 20 years the 2jz has been the best tuner engine ever made hands down it sounds the smoothest until flames shoot, it takes hella boost without even looking inside the engine, it flows oil like it should it doest crack in the bore cuz its block is too hard and the greatest thing of all it still spanks ass till this day. Did I mention it’s the most reliable 600hp you can get I mean you can buy engines with 600hp stock and still have hella expensive problems on your hands
This came from nowhere
eforsblom explanation?
HAHA love the ending you hear " im going to laugh when you hear everyones blowing up jz engine from revving them to 10k rpm lol haha.
Awesome content. Maybe more vids like this with an expert on each of the major popular drift engines.
Yeah.. Zach buddy the Mk3 Supra is nice... Finishing up mine with the 2jzgte single turbo.
Love zach, love these videos and the way he answers questions haha
You Need to make this a few part series. 1JZGTE GEN 1 GEN2 and same for the 2JZGTE GE VVTI AND NON . There are more pros and cons to having a Gen 1 1JZGTE than just saying get the vvti ... I have owned all the variants... since my JZX90 to my Crown Athlete VX I believe this was too quick ... like the guy was charging $10 a minute ... almost as frustrating of a video as its awesome.
Next can he answer questions about RB’s?
He isn't a builder of RB motors like his is JZ motors, but I will try to find someone to talk on the subject.
Lone Star Drift yes please do
Could you also find an SR master too. Thanks! :-)
best video from you guys so far, any recommendations on 1jzvvti oil viscosity?
Andrew Kuntz I use 10w 40, so do most of the guys I know if that helps :)
+1 5 or 10w-40 if the motor is healthy
oil cap says 10-30 i believe
Still so much love for this video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is particularly cool because Im going from 1.5jz to 2jzge vvti too lol
Hahaha that's so true, CD009 swaps cost as much as a R154. Doing a CD swap for my 1JZ 😅
Yeah, I always think, why not just stick with the trans that comes with the car and fits everything lol.
cd009 is stronger
Very good video, in fact I watched twice !!! Only thing I thought is not like you said was that the old twin turbo 1J is the one that has much chunkier rods than the VVTI therefore should be stronger than the VVTi
In Toyota's engine naming system: G = DOHC engine with timing belt or chain driving both camshafts directly
F = DOHC engine with timing belt or chain driving only one camshaft directly, with the other camshaft being driven by a gear on the 1st camshaft.
Thanks!
Actually Jared not quite right it changes 2gr has its chains driven non directly and the 1fz has both cams directly driven by the chain explain? 🤷🏻♂️ I work at Lexus for many years and I can tell you the naming system is not that right
@@jeffreybastian1331 Well the g in 2gr is just referencing the engine family tho, so 2gr-fe is an 'f' engine, thats what I meant
This was an awesome learning experience! Please do one on Rb20/25/26/30! Great questions and research
What specific questions do you have?
Awesome vid thanks for the clear and to the point info.
love the new interesting content Aaron! the vid with Feilding is cool too y'all!
so much knowledge! loving this
Aaron, love the videos but in all honesty you're asking all the questions we want to hear but the difference in audio volume, you being behind the camera versus with the guy, why not do a host and interviewer side by side shot, ask your questions where we can hear them. In the end they are your videos and I know you aren't afraid to get in front of the camera.
Best Regards
I am terrible making videos is the answer to all your questions
Great Video, I hope to see it also on ECU Masters Page if its not there already
You should one on sr20s
they blow up
Ryan Nguyen Mine didn’t, but the 6 speed manual was on its way out.
Yes
I don't know if vvti is always a good idea. It makes some maintenance harder.
I thought the first gen Aristo came first with the 2JZ.
First year of the Aristo was 1991 I believe.
Sick sick info. Thanks for the upload. 🤙
Awesome breakdown!
My is300 2JZge used to leak oil like crazy. I did all the cam seal valve seal water pump and timing belt. Now the engine has no engine oil leaks.
Zack in the house yet again.
I get a feeling these guys can completely take apart and reassemble a 2jz in the pitch black with nothing but a safety pin and a Junior Mint.
Bore and stroke is closer on a 1JZ hence it has a longer rev limit...
2jz has a square 86*86 cylinder
I don't know how much closer than that you can get
Yoooo! keep on doing these interviews with different engines
I am looking for someone to do one on the RB engine
Haha I love the Tarantino style ending.
You hear that kids? Lean kills. Tell your friends
if you find a 2jzfse they have shim less buckets that fit in normal 2jz
This was awesome! Cheers
From what I know the VVTI is weaker than the non vvti, na-t ge cooling like the intake usually has to stay stock with that big ass housing on the top of the engine (not housing but I don't remember how they call it) and it swapping a custom one, really doesn't work that well. This is what I've heard, I'd love to hear everyone's opinion tho. :)
I want to see someone in the US play with the 1FZ-FE 4.5L I6 Land Cruiser engine with boost swapped into a car or mini-truck.
This is great. Love the channel, but do more like this one please
What specifically would you like to see
I like the format on drift technology. I don't have one specific topic in mind. Maybe the same approach for turbos, transmissions, an LSX, or LSDs, steering setups, etc. The do's and don'ts. The limitations and potential trouble areas. I think new enthusiasts could benefit and avoid some frustration. Just my 2 cents
Make a video like this but about SR's!
this is an awesome video. . it needs a bump for new viewers
I would like to see a video on his GE build !!! Got a is300 and wanted to swap but I’m not curious with what I can do with the GE 🤔
im doing an ar-5 transmission swap to my 1jz !
Any information as far as boosting a 1JZ-GE Non VVTI? I know it's not a very common boosted engine so I just wanted to see if anyone has done it and has any info on what would be interchangeable through the JZ realm as far as aftermarket parts goes for boost applications? Example: if I go single turbo NA-T could I use the same aftermarket turbo manifold from a 1JZGTE and it would match up to the head fine? I can't really find a whole lot of information on the 1JZGE Non vvti (1 Gen 1JZ )
Zach is the man
Will wheaton builds engines?
Amazing info
1jz vvti stock block, with ECU Master. How much power would it make?
