Nice work Alberto! Appreciate your time and effort in producing these videos for us. Tip: Instead of welding, use aluminum or teflon spacer cut to proper width to keep sensor away from camshaft. Drill 2 holes and thread them to attach bung to cylinder head with bolts and a proper paper/rubber gasket. Seal around bung inside the head to prevent any oil from leaking through bung hole to outside of head.
awesome berto... seems like your one of the first to get the ge's into gte step by step process awesome... looking forward to your swap on how much hp its gonna throw out
I will admit vvti ge is the way to go but with this it gives hope to the non vvti ge’s out there which have to swap a bunch of stuff to work as they should
@@Bman2393 gte headgasket and forged internals man. Gte headgasket raises it up enough. They are thicker but the head flows fine. Read somewhere ge head has either bigger intake or exhaust ports and gte has the opposite, but thats forum info, not technical data.
ALBERTO you the man .. I have a Sc300 non vvti and been looking for a way to get rid of the distributor.. Keep up the great content and hopefully you show the rest of this swap.
I always watch your videos, but I was never subbed. Needless to say, I am subbed now. :) Love the content man, im keep to chuck a 2j in m 328i when I Can afford to!
Someone had probably already said it.. but there’s also the option of keeping your distributior and tossin on a cap if you go cop. Not as “pretty” but your ol distributor CAN act like a cam angle sensor.
Wouldn't you get excessive oil pressure build up using a gte oil pump on a ge block? Leaking from the main seals either front or rear,because lack of oil squitters???
Bigboost I'm looking for info on turboing vvti ge engine and a walk through vid on steps to do this might help not only me but any gs300 owners. If you could help that would be great, thanks
Converting ge to gte will require an new ecu, if you are going to use any aftermarket such as haltech, motec, fueltech I believe the crank trigger, u wont need an cam trigger
@@jaystuart4300 I looked around and I don’t believe you need to. Rad Dan goes into detail on all the versions of the 2jz if you haven’t seen it ild recommend watching it.
@@chased324 so if I get a non vvti engine with a stock is300 that's vvti maybe get a head refresh I shouldn't have to do this and it should hold the power well I'm guessing. How many miles should the bottom end have on it though? I see a decent amount of these engines online but they're all like 200k miles. Also don't the TT rods give out under low end torque?
whats the best place to sourse a GE motor? i am looking to sway a 2J in my 74 nova? also what trans would work just looking to cruise it, shooting for around 400HP.
Any details on the vvti ge to gte setups? Ive had mine for a couple years and im now ready money wise to do do a build. Got the motor for a sweet deal and theres nothing wrong with it at all. I know it has the weaker rods and it has coils already.
Hey how you doing.? I have a 2jzgte non VVTi that's been seized because of water and been seating for 2 or more years with water in the cylinders. Do you think motor is not good anymore? I'm in NY I want to rebuild the engine but i just started taking the engine of the car. I see rust build up on the cam lobes. Just surface rust.! And in the head cavities as well. Valves are stuck. And crank doesn't turn at all.
Hello I know this is an old video so I might not get a reply. But wouldn't just running the batch injection fix that issue? It really doesnt give us any preformance uprades to run sequential because its low end only. Mostly for fuel economy. Or is this simply to claim you have a gte and not to gain power?
Sick video and inspiration but, can anyone provide me with the cost and how much it would be to complete the conversion. I can’t imagine the cam sensor would be the only thing I would need to convert a ge to a gte…. Any feedback would be nice and appreciated 💯👍
great tutorial man i have a question. i bought the BC 264 cams. and they have those tabs but im experiencing two problems. on the intake side when the cam is on the timing mark the tab for that sensor is aiming straight down and so i have no idea how to go about that. Secondly it looks like on my cams is a bit further towards the middle of the head and theres even more obstruction in the casting and its closer to a bolt for the intake manifold so im worried that it will obstruct the bolt or possibly actually hit it. Now on the exhaust side it looks like it would line up properly but im concerned about it getting really hot and melting being so close to the turbo manifold. do you think its doable on the exhaust side ?
Alberto, Question for a GE vvti head. would you consider porting the intake ports to the same size as the ones on a GTE vvti head for better flow? Does the head gasket on the GE vvti head needs to be upgraded to the OEM GTE vvti HG to decrease the compression? I know it's 10:1 in the GE vvti and 8.5:1 in the GTE vvti.
Got a question, youre doing this all on a GE non-VVTi, did you weld in the crankshaft position sensor under the tensioner too? Do most standalone ECUs need the crank position sensor for ignition or just cam position sensor?
i found a pair of stock 2jzgte rods for 30k what do you mean cheap? i found some used gte rods for like 2300 and those dont include bolts or pistons from the gte. theres no way you can make a 2jzge into a 2jzGTE for cheaper. just get a gte from the get go or just dont get one at all
And second question please, wouldn't i have to weld in two cam position sensors instead of one? Because gte has two cam trigger sensors on Cam. Im keeping OEM auto GE ECU until i can get a piggyback AEM???
@@alexanderdejesus8221 no worries. I should have clarified in my first comment I guess...He is obviously working on a non VVTI head but the GE VVTI head has a cam sensor already so that would probably be the easier option.
@@nickbenetti3115 you are right Nick. The VVTI 2JZGE ARE TOO WEAK unless you are staying under 450hp. 2JZGTE or none VVTi rods and pistons would work but they are getting harder to find so lll probably get new beefier rods and pistons for my project build.
You don’t actually have to change to gte cams you can use any of the cam nubs on the ge cams as if your standalone ecu u can tell the ecu where the pick up is reactive to tdc

If you do not use the timing belt and turn the crankshaft, the piston will get stuck in the valve?
Aren't you worried that you are deforming the top of the head where your rocker covers are because of the heat ?
I love it it’s just a lot of work 😢
Awesome work Alberto👍
Just like that.... Damn Cool⭐💯
Ничего не понятно, но очень интересно :) Nothing is clear, but very interesting :)
Converting ge to gte will require an new ecu, if you are going to use any aftermarket such as haltech, motec, fueltech I believe the crank trigger, u wont need an cam trigger
