Finally someone with an in-depth knowledge and info on a man. I needed the boost

[bigjdm]

picked a 2jzGE vvti up for 420 dollars a year ago. broke it down and sent block to machine shop. Honed and spec check. I got GTE pistons and Manley H tuff rods, king xp bearings, stock main caps, Titan pulley, GSC S1 cam and GSC springs and Ti retainers. I’m still waiting on main bearings tho.

The very first Gen VVTi 2JZ-GE used only in the Crown Royal Saloon (JZS-155) 1995-1997 do have the thicker rods, and some other differences (piston rings). You can verify this yourself by looking at the connecting rods part # on the JZS-155 on toyodiy and comparing to the connecting rod part # on the later 2JZ vvti (the ones you are talking about here).

Cool man. Coming from the h22 red top world of the s2k to the 2jz is300. Incredibly overwhelming but these videos help tons. I'm glad people know their stuff

im building a vvti ge and im putting gte pistons and rods, if you do my setup you have to buy ge head gasket cuz valve squash will be low if you run gte gasket. This means that those gte pistons which are 8.5 to 1 compression will be 8.3 cuz ge vvti head has a bigger dome in the head.

Thanks for the knowledge!
Building up a VVTi engine for N/A use in an originally 6-cylinder classic car which only weighs about 2600lbs.
Figure some bolt-ons and a tune should make for a lively daily driver that is rock reliable Toyota as well.

Coming from the DSM scene and I wanted to get more in details about this matter about non vvti vvti and ge and gte well let tell you that this is nothing new, both platform have almost the same age on the market and this is going to be sweet for me. After so many 4g63 engines and now starting to do my first 2jzge I think this will bring happiness to my life.

[xddread]

this is helping a lot i am very interested in sticking a 2jz ge in an e36 and this is def motivating me even more

[Bmxpdxx]

Well laid out video I’m looking forward to what you have to come in the future

You should also note that oil squirters are basically useless if going with aftermarket forged setup anyways. Good breakdown, i like this

The dizzy has same cam and crank signals as gte fyi. Only way to get sequential is a bung or the dizzy base

[jorgieboi]

this is gonna help me out a lot. thank you man!

[vacoombs]

Very informative video. Thank you so much.

[juhpeq]

this is an amazing video and super helpful
i have a 97 318ti and am wondering whether to do a m50 swap or a 2j ge swap bc i work at a toyota dealership as a tech
which do you think would be the better option to make 400-500 reliably and on a budget?
thanks

[averywhite]

Big thanks to your video, my GS spun a rod bearing so with your video I went to a junkyard 2 hours away and got a SC300 bottom end and it was practically perfect shape, paid 147. Putting engine in tomorrow, will the non vvti ge pistons mess up anything on the vvti head? Not running a turbo set up yet

[aldo.z]

I exactly was searching for a video like this since im planning on dropping a 2jz na-t to a 280z

[SGQ]

Hello bud, just curious here what if just take the rod and head gasket from not vvti and put them to the VVTI add turbo. Is that works?

[VZGarage]

Jajajaja you right no one wants a ugly distributor jajajajaj 🤣🤣🤣🤣😅😅 awesome video bro new sub here

[MrBurndan]

Great info brotha! I should have built a 2J. This barra is getting expensive quick lol

Buenos días amigo, se puede casar un bloque de un 7mge con la tapa de cilindros de 2jz con vvti, gracias
