I got the car weighed at a buddys shop with the new motor in it after I got it off the dyno, for comparison when the 383 was in it the car weighed 3350 without me in it.

Right when it hit 508 on the dyno I was at 20lbs on the boost controller, we kept the tune pretty conservative since I drive this thing on pump 93 and in the hottest of florida days

It definitely added up quick but realistically im probably about 15K into the swap all in with the transmission setup. For rpm the rev limiter is set to 7200 right now since I have stock valvetrain in it. If i went aftermarket springs and cams i could push it 8 or more depending on how radical I get

I loaded the car up and went back to Titan for the final tune and it broke the 500whp goal that I had for this motor. And it still makes all the wrong noises from what people expect I plan to take it to some more autocrosses to sort out the suspension but for now I have a reliable daily...

I definitely have been severely lacking on the updates for the Dart but ill dump what has happened with it in the past few months: I updated the coils to what are known as IGN-1A coils they are extremely powerful spark discharge and all I had to do was repin the ECU harness and and run another...

Since I don't have the V8 anymore I don't need to hold onto this. This was on my 383 when it was in my Dart. It is a 165A, 1 wire alternator from powermaster. It was used on my car for about 3 years before I pulled the motor. It is in good condition with minor wear on the pulley I was using...

Finally finished the big ole intercooler and had to modify the bumper a little more for clearence. After recording some data logs the average intake air temps under boost dropped 25 degrees so I would call it a win. The lag from it being a bigger core really didnt change, and I tried to make the...

Right now the K member is 4.75 inches off the ground and with the oval exhaust I havent hit it yet with speed bumps and such

I am running Bridgestone re71rs on the car they are a little expensive but I love em. Until I have another set of wheels specifically for autocross I may switch to the federal rsrrs for the street/autocross duty to save a little money. Its good to know about the Falkens I hadn't heard that about...

I cant believe I haven't posted the video of my trip up to Tail of the Dragon with some buddies of mine. I got some good gopro videos below from the dash of the car from a few short runs before we hit traffic. I was really surprised on the handling of it, I was easily able to keep up with my...

Heres the pic of the dyno graph from Titan with the old cooler, and a pic of the new intercooler core that just showed up that I need to fab some endtanks for. I went with a 18 x 8.5 x 6 core for the final intercooler as I refuse to cut any of the grill so it ended up being more thickness than...

Right now im running 93 pump fuel. Also the 455 is at the tire so with the ball park 10-15 percent drivetrain loss that would be over 500 at the crank. Also the intercooler seems to be undersized for flow needs so im fabbing up a bigger one to fit the chassis without cutting more since the turbo...

These wheels are forgestar wheels they are a custom offset wheel the fronts are 18x9 front and rear. The front has 35mm offset and the rear is 20mm

The boost controller is on 17lbs right now once coils are swapped for the stronger ones im going to take it back to Titan to turn it up to the final number

After buttoning up all the wiring and cleaning up the engine bay to make it ready for the dyno day I scheduled a day at Titan Motorsports since their name has been made on building 2JZs. The car was great on the dyno and ended making 455 to the tire. The main issues holding it back was the coils...

I chose to go with a Haltech Platinum Sport 2000 engine management since it would control the variable valve timing this motor has for the intake cam. The wiring was a couple of days worth of labeling and measuring for wire lengths. I used a harness out of a Supra that was meant for the ECU as a...

The rear has 3.23s in it I havent had it out to an autocross event yet to see how those do I might have to swap em out for something a little taller

The big block was sold off to someone here in Florida for their car along with the trans. The 2JZ is the motor you would find in the Toyota Aristos in Japan or more common here the Toyota Supras.

Ya I used his thread from his build as research material when I was planning everything out

Probably one of my favorite fab projects was next. I made a full 4 inch down pipe for the 62/66 turbo the breathe through and a full 4in oval exhaust under the car

Then it was back out to the front to make the motor actually run. I mounted the intercooler and oil cooler and clearenced the fiberglass bumper that's on it. Then started bolting the big items on the motor

For the transmission I decided to go with the CD009 out or a 350Z as they are relatively cheap, less than 1000 bucks, and strong enough to take all the beatings Ill be giving it. The only down side is its a big trans so the floor had to go to make it fit but it is still lighter than the A833. I...

I set the angle of the engine and fabbed the mounts. The engine mounts were actually not too bad. I decided to use the factory K member mounts and bolt the new mounts to them. The poly bushings for the motor made sure it wouldn't shake around too much

The big block was a great motor but the time in that chassis was over along with the A833 4 speed I had in it. While it was out I cleaned up and repainted the engine bay since It was so convenient. Getting this to be sitting happy in the car without running into issues with the steering links...

It started lookin real serious when I was mocking up all the accesories on it before the removal of the big block from the car.

Spend some time cleaning and inspecting the internals to make sure it would live at the 500 whp I was chasing. I put on a new water pump and new oil pump and studded the head instead of the old Toyota torque to yield bolts and made it match the car.

I never started a thread on the build of this project but I figured it was time to show what I've been up to on this old girl. I was always interested in the 2JZ-GTE platform and wanted to do an interesting engine swap into this car so might as well stuff one into the Dart I started with a bone...

Its the VSK232 set.

I have a full set of the Viking Warrior shocks that I picked up for my 68' Dart. They have maybe 50 miles on them. I realized I needed a shorter set with how much my car is lowered. These are good for cars that are at stock ride height and up to 1.5 inches lowered. They have a few minor...
