My Drift Spec S15 build - Engine

Good Friday folks! Today i will be sharing about the engine/powerplant we have for the S15 chasis. Previously on the S13 chasis , i was running a 2.3 stroker SR20det and it was pretty good i feel, but after driving my ER34, i love the feeling of drifting a 6 cyclinder.

Currently we have a 1jz vvti engine for the S15 chasis, plans are being made for future developments for the engine but i decided to keep the base build simple first and to focus more on the setup of the car instead as the weight distribution will be different running this engine on the s15 chasis.

The entire engine has been overhauled and rebuild by Garage R. They are one of my sponsors for my car and have put in great efforts to build the car to where it is today. I must say their workmanship is second to none, and i am sure you would agree looking at the state of the engine bay! :)

Cooling will be one of the main issues running the jz engine. We have installed a koyo radiator and custom billion racing pull and push fans to help with the cooling. Fingers-crossed that the car will be running at a good temperature when we do the shake down.

For our turbine, we are going with the HKS 3037 pro s turbo. This is a awesome turbo that has minimal turbo lag and with a good mid to top end punch. Matching this with the 1jz is a match made in heaven!

Other components of the car like the intercooler and oil cooler have also been fitted on nicely. Stay tuned as i will be showing new pics of the interior that Garage R has customized for the car. Till then, Keep Drifting Fun!
