I'm swapping in a stock 2JZGTE (JDM Spec) into my 96 XJ over the course of the summer as part of a much larger project, and from poking around on this forum I thought there may be some interest. I am planning for this to be a seamless and at minimum a professional and factory looking install. New wiring schematics, photo and video documentation, possibly even a "how to."
As of now I have swapped the original 4.0 HO with another 4.0 HO, only had to convert the new block from a coil over motor to a distributor ignition. This was to fix the rod knock and buy time for the 2J swap. I have recently acquired the 2JZGTE with 30-40E (AW340E) transmission. Now that finals are almost over, I will be working to merge the Toyota's powertrain/drivetrain, the a/c compressor and power steering pump hoses, motor/tranny mounts, and all electrical connections through existing and new connectors so this setup is as "plug and play" as I can get it.
Picture the power and reliability of a well built twin turbo Supra coupled with the hard hitting, go anywhere through anything attitude of a Jeep, and you start to get a vehicle that will grab the street by the neck and beat the crap out of it. This Jeep is slated to have a tough long travel adjustable ride height suspension and chromoly integrated brush/tail guards and side skirt protection.
I know it's considered by many a good idea to not count the money you spend on the Jeep, but I'm going to anyway. I Wanna see how bad this is going to hurt... I'm sure others would to.
I'll have baseline dyno numbers and video very soon. I'll post more in the next couple of weeks.
