BassAckwards' AWD Turbo 2TR-FE

A couple of years ago my buddy ordered a brand new JDM 13b long block from Japan. He basically said the same thing....lord knows what I'll get!

 

Haha yeah it definitely feels like taking a big shot in the dark. I hope this doesnt turn into my next nightmare. I dont have the best track record with this truck

 

Fingers crossed. Fortune favors the bold. Yeah, we'll go with that!

 

Took 8 weeks to get it from Japan. But it worked out.

Not quite stock anymore though

 

That's really cool, i've never seen a rotary engine, those things look tiny compared to a normal motor. Looks like he has got lots of time in that project!! Wild to see the intercooler mounted like that too

 

Well that didn't take long, got an email this morning from them cancelling the order. They say it's too big to ship.. so maybe it's not a supply thing then. I may check with a dealer near me and see what they say

 

Yes.....we've been working on it off and on for more than 2 years now. 400+ HP. It's a beast

 

I bet that thing is a blast to drive!

 

Nothing new here to speak off, I see you’re taking on another major mod can’t wait to see the outcome.

 

yes sir, gonna be doing the swap little by little. Probably gonna run as 2wd for a while until i can afford to regear the front and get all that stuff together

 

Got the R156F on order, gonna go pick it up in a couple of weeks. Gonna work on the input shaft swap tomorrow for the FJ t-case from the M/T input shaft back to the auto input shaft. Working on hunting down a shifter now

 

Did some work on the 4wd conversion today with the FJ t-case. Got the coupler off of the auto t-case input shaft so now it should bolt
up to a 4wd trans.



Then moved on to splitting the case to swap the auto trans input shaft back in since it has one for my 6spd currently.




Swapped inputs and ring gear, and cleaned up everything. Also replaced the input shaft seal since i messed that up the last time i tore this apart to swap inputs.

Sealed up and ready for it’s partner in crime

 

I feel like the new cool thing to do is just buy a 2wd and fj swap them lol.

 

Good mornin John!

Good mornin Brian! Yeah the FJ swaps are becoming pretty popular these days. Speaking of that, did your case have a breather on the case and on the shifter? In the last pic above you can see a capped port on the case and then theres one near the shifter too. The breather is one of the last things i have to get figured out

 

Yep here's what i used https://www.toyotapartsdeal.com/oem...filter=(1=1GRFE;6=5FC;7=DCB;0=GRN250L-PRADKA)

 

My Tcase and trans has 2 breathers right next to each other so it connects them and shares one hose.

 

Awesome, thanks man!

 

Good evenin gents!
