Luke's Minibus 1st V6 24v cosworth now fitting a 2JZGTE

[G40GES]

well its good to see that with a little warmer weather, garage doors are being used again


i think that, as you said millage isnt an issue use a couple of m16 bolts and nail it down so the slag cant escape
you do know i weld not use spanners keep it on buddy

Possibly an interesting article for you Luke

Whether or not the same theories apply to your engine I don't know?

some good info in there - has a complete section on the 2jz manual downloads etc. cheers

progress............ no pics sorry forgot but i've mocked the engine mounts up today - doing it different this time, usually i make the engine mounts to fit into the factory chassis mounts, but this time i'm keeping the factory engine mounts and modding the chassis part to suit so far they are looking pritty good - cant wait to get them finished its a bit more of a hassle now tho as ive not got the same job so no tooled up workshop to use so i'm having to do it all by hand
also ive decided to make a new gearbox crossmember up rather than modding the existing one - makes it easier and neater

should be back on with them tomorrow and i'll remember to post pics

I didn't look for other sections, nice one

Good idea

[Luke]

had a good day on it today - i've now got the engine mounted in the right place sat on the mounts the mounts arnt finished but strong enough to hold the engine - i'll finish them off when i tie the 2 sides together as once i do that i'll not be able to remove them without dropping the crossmember

here's a pic doesnt show it very well but that circular disk is cut into the old mount and the rubber sits on it and the hole is in the middle - just looks out in the pic



next ive got the gearbox crossmember to finish - once thats done i'll get the prop done

looking good hope it goes as well

[Luke]

just looked it up ........thats 400bhp should do 1/4 in 13.5 secs i think i'll not do that 1st time out as i'll be running 320bhp no more
but if the house bet is on i'll mabe spend a few quid on it
i would like to get it lower than 13seconds one day
