Default Turbo 5.3 > 2jz E30

1989 e30 325is
Coilovers
-10 fuel system
Had an Aussie 2JZGTE/Marlin Crawler R154.
6262

Bought it from a buddy, but really didn't want the 2j setup (no offense)


Pulled and sold the 2ZJGTE, which is funding the entire build, plus allowing me to buy the roller already set up for $800. God, those motors bring $$$$$.


Buddy is dropping off a donor late 2000's Silverado tomorrow (ex DPS veh, officer was shot and killed in it), and i'll be pulling the gen 4 5.3 out of it for this car.

Plan:
5.3
Single s475
TR6060
And a lot of tires I'm sure

Probably going to be a slow build, as I'm building 5-6 other LS vehicles at the moment.

Truck showed up and I pulled the drivetrain. Found out it's an L20 4.8. Kinda bummed but it will make power none the less.

Right now it's a roller with a motor sitting next to it. Finishing a few other builds before I start messing with it.

The trailing arm crossmember on the truck chassis looks really familiar

Haha. Yeah, it's all sitting in a box upstairs. Ended up going with a full Choppin Block kit on that truck. Waiting for another build to put it on.
