\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* Adam’s 2JZ powered s14 Build Thread \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* I got this car with the swap already done but all the wrench turning and assembly was below my standards so I am rebuilding all of it. When I bought the car it made 497rwhp @ 17.5 psi tuned by Dynamotorsports (Tony) My goal is 600rwhp minimum for daily driver/summer car Here is what the car looked like when I got it ![http://imageshack.us/a/img5/8960/98245555.jpg](http://imageshack.us/a/img5/8960/98245555.jpg) ![http://imageshack.us/a/img339/2758/26779851.jpg](http://imageshack.us/a/img339/2758/26779851.jpg) ![http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/6537/020ych.jpg](http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/6537/020ych.jpg) Started it up one morning and heard a misfire so I did a compression test, every cylinder was amazing 160-165… except #6 it was at 40 psi ☹ I then did a leak down test and heard the intake valves leaking so I knew they were bent or stretched so disassembly started… ![http://imageshack.us/a/img713/5090/0192s.jpg](http://imageshack.us/a/img713/5090/0192s.jpg) ![http://imageshack.us/a/img856/2977/018aud.jpg](http://imageshack.us/a/img856/2977/018aud.jpg) Pistons still look like new after being cleaned 🙂 ![http://imageshack.us/a/img266/5296/0152mi.jpg](http://imageshack.us/a/img266/5296/0152mi.jpg) Parts before powdercoating ![http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/2103/0022nb.jpg](http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/2103/0022nb.jpg) After… ![http://img849.imageshack.us/img849/9884/013wd.jpg](http://img849.imageshack.us/img849/9884/013wd.jpg) Ceramic Coated Turbo manifold ![http://imageshack.us/a/img846/4519/037akg.jpg](http://imageshack.us/a/img846/4519/037akg.jpg) Cylinder head back from CCH ![http://imageshack.us/a/img59/7342/100zq.jpg](http://imageshack.us/a/img59/7342/100zq.jpg) ![http://imageshack.us/a/img541/3120/123zn.jpg](http://imageshack.us/a/img541/3120/123zn.jpg) ![http://imageshack.us/a/img849/518/0092qr.jpg](http://imageshack.us/a/img849/518/0092qr.jpg) Putting it back together… ![http://imageshack.us/a/img571/6606/0053tc.jpg](http://imageshack.us/a/img571/6606/0053tc.jpg) Block surface prepared and ready for headgasket ![http://imageshack.us/a/img15/2752/001cvz.jpg](http://imageshack.us/a/img15/2752/001cvz.jpg) ![http://img541.imageshack.us/img541/8531/0202p.jpg](http://img541.imageshack.us/img541/8531/0202p.jpg) ![http://imageshack.us/a/img545/992/011cxi.jpg](http://imageshack.us/a/img545/992/011cxi.jpg) Here I am torqueing the headstuds ![http://imageshack.us/a/img834/3655/013gr.jpg](http://imageshack.us/a/img834/3655/013gr.jpg) ![http://imageshack.us/a/img17/4781/012km.jpg](http://imageshack.us/a/img17/4781/012km.jpg) The tranny is an R154 from a Mk3 supra. The shiter is a C’s short shifter which has a rubber bushing inside… I wanted a solid shifter feel so I modified it, shortened it, machined a solid bushing on a lathe then welded it back together.

Nice build sir, I have some questions. What valves are those? They look oversize Is it stock long block otherwise? Which final drive do you have? Is the shifter housing lengthened or did you just bend the lever? Did you relocate fuel lines to driver side? Any traction issues with 480whp? PS. I remember seeing this car FS on autotrader for a pretty penny 😉 ---
