Mid Engine 1jz/2jz project

[kenshi1023]

I did some searches before posting, couldn't find anything on converting a 1jz or 2jz to a mid engine layout.

my question is can a 5sp solara tranny be mate with a 1jz or 2jz motor, so that it can be put into a mid engine design layout. are there other trannies that can be use for this purpose. thanks

I used an Audi 01e six speed box mated to a 2jz-gte. Costs ran +/- $1500 to mate the two. That included custom flywheel, custom adapter plate, custom clutch (3 pack), custom release bearing housing. I will be picking it up on Monday from the Engineering shop.

Car is based on Lambo Murcie but with my own tweaks. Side intakes added Celica headlights, Still have to pull the mold for the body and then do the body.

Here is my 2jz-gte mated to an Audi 01e 6 speed transmission.

Nice! Did you make that custom adapter plate yourself? If so, can you tell us anything about how you did it?

Hi. No I did not. I had it made at an Engineering shop close by. New Engineering. They also made a custom flywheel and custom 2 pack clutch. (3 pack wouldn't fit and I did not want them to cut on the box itself. 2 pack is good for 1000bhp though)

My friend is doing my chassis here is a pic or two.

Cheers

Here is a better pic of the adaptor plate and flywheel and also a pic of my body I am doing
