[finlay]

hi all

i m planning to use the 2JZ GTE and V160/161 for my current project but need some questions answered before i commit and shell out ???? on engine and box

1. whats the combined wieght of engine and box
2. whats the max BHP and LBS the std crank can handle
3. whats the max BHP/LBS thwe V160/161 can handle
4. what is the approx length of the engine and box combined from the crank pulley to the gearbox gear change lever
5. whats the approx height of the engine from bottom of sump to top of cam cover
6. is the auto box bell housing the same mounting to the engine casing the same as the manual, in other words could i buy a 2JZ GTE and buy V160/161 seperatly along with bellhousing and fit it to any 2JZ GTE engine ?

look forward to some answers

I don't have a spare v160 laying around to weigh...I'd guess about 125lbs. The engine shortblock alone is about 200lbs ... with head, manifolds and turbo I'd guess about 275... Probably about 400lbs total?

2. whats the max BHP and LBS the std crank can handle
3. whats the max BHP/LBS thwe V160/161 can handle
The oem crank and the v160 can handle about 2000hp and 1500 ft-lbs of torque. Maybe more. Unless you spray waaaay too much nos AND run it badly tuned, you're not going to break it.
If you shift the v160 properly, you won't break it either (if anything, it's the synchros that go, from being shifted poorly)

4. what is the approx length of the engine and box combined from the crank pulley to the gearbox gear change lever
- Not sure, but I'll check next time I'm under my Supra. I'd guess about six feet? Hopefully you're not in a hurry for this measurement...

5. whats the approx height of the engine from bottom of sump to top of cam cover
- I'd guess about 3 feet.

6. is the auto box bell housing the same mounting to the engine casing the same as the manual, in other words could i buy a 2JZ GTE and buy V160/161 seperatly along with bellhousing and fit it to any 2JZ GTE engine ?
- Yes

Thanks also. I was making an inquiry about this at the other forums last night & here it goes.
