BkCressida's X8 2jzge na-t w/TT Electronics (first ever??????????????)

[BKCressida1718 0]

Not sure if I was the first one to successfully do this in a Cressida but oh well not really too concerned with that. Bought the car in 2011 with a bhg with the intentions of going 1jz vvti but all the motors in the area were greasy messes and missing stuff or too expensive. 2jzge can be had all day for <$500 all day so I said why not. I refused to go the familiar route of using the ge ecu because its either you stack piggybacks or go standalone after a while until I stumbled upon this setup on the clublexus forums. Spent the next couple of years gathering info on the setup and parts. Heres the info on the car:

Turbo setup

Car runs and idles as stock and pulls hard. This was done as a budget build so I'll probably leave it as it is for while but we all know how that power bug bites so we'll see, Next on agenda is definitely getting new wheels These were only put on to tow the car back and forth and ended up staying on so don't be too harsh lol. Those interested in the swap, I can and will answer what ever questions that may be asked.

Looks good !

But would look better if you painted the rusty horns, cam gears, and bolts on the front end.

 

And a supra steering wheel ?

 

Oh well, to each their own..........

 

Good work.

holy shit dude you finished in about the same time as me.

its been running for a while just not on the road and the piping wasn't completed. lol gordo the horns and stuff are getting swapped out. the car been sitting for almost two years bro. and whoremouth, I was referring to the tt setup. the issue I have with using the 7mgte electronics, its like buying a modern laptop/computer and running windows 95 on it. 7mgtes use mafs, most harnesses and plugs are brittle, sensors need changing, etc.

Nah will garricks was running two years ago courtesy of mark panic. Prob a few others too who can't take jzxp hazing. But congrats will be fun.

Those wheels wouldn't be so bad if you could just run a lower profile/narrower width tire,get some wheels spacer's,loose the mudflap's,and lower the suspension a little bit more.

Congrats on finishing the swap.Look's clean and mean.Fuck worrying about wheel's and shit anyways,because looks like the power bug will hit hard haha.Take any money you have and just keep putting it under the hood.

thanks man. i'm actually not a fan of mudflaps but I'm afraid of what rust or rot could be exposed lol. still working out some kinks and such.
