Front Turbo Oil Leak

Tipical View of oil leak.

Old turbo

For resolv this, was simple, put another turbo. 

Hydrofan

In the middle of the process, some things happends.

-Hydrofan: This  problem is  basically shortest  because the water pump in some models have the oil pump for the fan cooler.

So what , some people do, is take the oil line and make a loop.

Water Pump, and Hydrofan Lines.

Testing the engine inside of the car.

Engine Test, with radiator and fuel lines.

Here we go!

The animal!

This picture make me happy! 

Shifter in the middle

My bro,  him is more happy than me.

Starting Swap

The first thing i have to do. Was put splitters between the subframe and chassis.

Because the 2jz is more  taller than rotary engine.

Aluminium Splitters 1 1/2 inch high

Me cutting screws

Subframe dismount

Finally, engine mounts was done.
I use landcruiser engine mounts for this swap.

Transmission  mount

This is Nomar AKA "Bambam" ahahahha

Stuff

The most difficult thing to do , since the beginning, was recollect this parts.
Transmission are expensive, clutch, friction plate, and rear oil sump.

Friction Plate XTD

R154 5 Gears

Stock Flywheel, 6 pucks clutch

2jz rear sump oil pan

Wilson and me Before  to start with this project we made a ground test.....
Obviously... without rebuilding like an rotary engine.

2JZGTE Why?

Powerful. Lots of torque.
320 hp without modification.
400 hp without modification, just boost up. Stock turbo ....

Durable, rugged, inexpensive, ahead of a rotary engine. Of course.

The shell

My car has been the holder of two rotary engines.
The first:13b s4 1987. For several years with this. from stock to programmable.

The second: 13b 1991 only lasted one week. I bought a junker and try Powering when melted.
This frustrated me, because buying an engine without using it, it broke ..

From the beginning

How it all began?

Simple. I broke three engines.

The first. I earned it.

The second broke it learning to program the Haltech.

The third one broke, one week after buying it in the junker. Paradoxically must be repaired after purchase ... Rotary ...

The pro of having a rotary engine:
Rpm-long and fast.
-Light weight.

Cons:
-Smoke
-Shortly torque
-Weak
-Loud.
-Expensive to repair.
