*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!*

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 am so dang happy you made this video.. Every piece of JZ information you could ever need in one video, well done my friend!

I LOVE....LOVE how he mentioned changing the valve stem seals and i just got mine done for my daily driver.

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.

Thanks, good information without researching forums for hours.

I have a stock 1j non vvti and I love it! Sounds so good, straight piped on 11psi in a s14 zenki

This is my favorite video of yours. I would watch these for hours

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!

This is the perfect interview..much needed Info. Thanks

Great vid guys super informative. Can't wait to finish my s14 2jz project now. One again great video

This guy was awesome. Thanks for making this video!!

Wow this video is really great! No joke so many answers and so many great questions.

Sick sick info. Thanks for the upload. 🤙

Awesome vid thanks for the clear and to the point info.

so much knowledge! loving this

The intro at the end was awesome!

2JZ Master! Thanks I found this very informative

Love zach, love these videos and the way he answers questions haha

love the part about transmission options. idk why but interchangeable builds fascinate me. seeing a race setup built from Easter egg parts is gold.

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

Awesome breakdown!

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.

Thanks Aaron. Real information is hard to come by.

wow, been doing research for a 2j swap... so glad this video exists.

This is so helpful! What a guy!

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!

This was awesome! Cheers

love the new interesting content Aaron! the vid with Feilding is cool too y'all!

I just finished my na-t sc300 this weekend!

I heard Jesus was involved in the engineering of the JZ motors! 🧖🏿‍♂️👀

Amazing video!!

Awesome content. Maybe more vids like this with an expert on each of the major popular drift engines.

the fireball question was the best!

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!

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.

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 don't thumbs up videos often, but this one deserved it!

Great video!

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.

Amazing info

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.

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

The 10 grand thing at the end was hilarious 😆

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.

Great Video, I hope to see it also on ECU Masters Page if its not there already

lol that 10 grand remark at the end is exactly what I was thinking.

I learned a lot thanks

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 came from nowhere

Zach is no joke! Walking encyclopedia!

Very very good video.

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!

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 believe the Cressida also came with 1j early 90’s

This is particularly cool because Im going from 1.5jz to 2jzge vvti too lol

Real good video

Yoooo! keep on doing these interviews with different engines

Still so much love for this video.

Thank you, sir.

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

This was an awesome learning experience! Please do one on Rb20/25/26/30! Great questions and research

This is great. Love the channel, but do more like this one please

love your videos man, keep this shit uh' comin'

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.

Wicked video You mention cams varying, do you know of any difference to the n/a non vvti JDM from a mk4 supra by chance?

Zach is the man

Haha I love the Tarantino style ending.

This video are awesome

this is just great

I'm currently running a TH400 trans with my 2JZ-GTE

Yeah.. Zach buddy the Mk3 Supra is nice... Finishing up mine with the 2jzgte single turbo.

This is dope

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 🤔

this is an awesome video. . it needs a bump for new viewers

JZ are really interesting engines, so well build. Will you do videos with the UZ and RB to ?

How is he working the GE's intake and exhaust manifolds? Custom fab or is there some kit I don't know about that doesn't utilize the cross over intake ?

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

@03:29 Dropping GE vvti Redpills on us!! I pulled my GE vvti motor out of the JY for 600 bucks!!!

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

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 )

Zack in the house yet again.

Do u know y my stock 1jzgte on 15psi makes the turbo glow i was told it might be leaning out

1jz vvti stock block, with ECU Master. How much power would it make?

if this guy knows BP motors too I need that video like yesterday

What's up bro is the 1jzgte none vvti is it a plug and play in a 93 lexus sc300

do you need an oil cooler for a 2jz if your running about 850bhp? also what should the max engine oil temp/water temp go to without damaging the engine?

Hey Mr Lone Star , I really like the thumbnail, is that something you found online or ?

Cool dude,

best video from you guys so far, any recommendations on 1jzvvti oil viscosity?

i got a mk3 its not a mk4 but it still rocks

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

heck yea doing a 7mge to 2jzge-t with a340e upgrade!! just got non-vvti head any help would be awesome!!

I got a 1.5JZ single turbo 980hp in my 2007 honda s2000 perfect drifter high revs and better sounding engine and exhaust note.

2jz fse are floating around in southern Africa commonly in the 9th gen mark 2 ,Toyota mark 2 blit, progress, brevis etc.

if you find a 2jzfse they have shim less buckets that fit in normal 2jz

love this ! can you find an SR guru and do the same kind of video ?!?

I like this guy :))

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.
