ABOUT PAPADAKIS RACING:
The Papadakis Racing team began drifting in 2004 and is the most winning team in Formula Drift history, earning the 2015 title with driver Fredric Aasbo, as well as backto back championship titles with driver Tanner Foust in 2007 and 2008. The Rockstar Energy Drink / Nexen Tire Toyota Corolla Hatchback is the latest competition build from the Hawthorne, California, based team.
Team owner Stephan Papadakis is a legend of sport compact racing who began building his reputation in the 1990s with the first front-wheel drive, tube-chassis drag car in the U.S. The team earned multiple records and championships in the discipline, turning in elapsed times and trap speeds previously thought unattainable in front-drive drag cars. Papadakis' successes in front-wheel drive were matched by his efforts in rear-wheel drive when he campaigned a Honda Civic that became just the fifth car to join the NHRA's Sport Compact 200 MPH club. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
After you pull all the bolts out of the oil pan, take a box opener/utility knife and run it around the pan inbetween the pan and block. Shel fall right off
I was gonna say the same thing. Did exactly this when disassembling my 2JZ and it worked beautifully.
@@e_filippo ive only used it on transmissions but figured it could be used for oil pans
They make oil pan separator tools. use one all the time at work.. think i paid like 25 bucks on amazon. never marred a thing with it
I just bang it with a dead blow hammer, but not hard enough to beat parts up. It's usually pretty quick
griffin pierce Your spot on! I learnt that from skid factory.
If they taught this in school I would have graduated
😂😂👍👍
Deez Nutz I taught myself this
Yea definitely man I honestly would’ve had my life set
Exactly, me too
If they started teaching this in high school, I would finish my college, then go back to high school again
A great person humbly explaining in detail including small bits and pieces. Awesome. Most channels only focus on cinematic shots, background music and prolonged hosts' dialogues and skips tips and steps.
This Guy is golden....easy going! That is how Steph is in real life!
we need stephan and bisi for a collab
I was thinking the same thing as I was watching, what a brilliant presentation from beginning to end.
Cough Hagerty cough
He skipped a lot of details, and they’re important. Thats a reason why most of american cars fail. Small detail huge impact
Man after I watch your videos it feels like everything is going to be ok, and the world is actually a good place worth living in. Love your content!
lunatic
true: he is understanding things the way i did as a child and it is all naturally. i mean: understand the world and understand all the stuff in physics, you will explain it like this. only a few know what i talk about, buit look at the vocabulary of the "puller" at the beginning
That's how I feel after listening to the Minutemen.
MrTiti I lookup everything I don’t understand. Every word I don’t know the definition to. Always curious about the world around me. You’re not the only one! Have a passion to learn new things.
Best engine disassembly video I have seen on youtube so far. Super informative and zero waste of time. 10 out of 10!
Hagerty has some very good ones as well.
*Supra informative
Thank you for putting real car content, instead of these wannabe tuners that just review a car.
Hank's Gear just wait until people try to tune the BMW supra engine. All the timing is at the back of the engine. Not a tunner friendly car like Japan said it would be.
@@spankthemonkey3437 it's German over-complicated
Super Duty 455 don't get me wrong though i do hear that the BMW engine can handle almost as much as a stock 2jz, but the BMW engine being a cast aluminum will never handle 2 to3 thousand hp like the 2jz cast iron block will.
@@spankthemonkey3437 he's literally building a 1000 horsepower B58 right now
nick stanford I hope he puts some steel sleeves in it
I have no idea how you and people in the comments are so good with cars.
I’m confused as well
Enthusiasm + Practice = Expertise.
Its really not that hard to do! But you gotta do it right👍🏼
I don't understand how someone thought of creating an engine, So many parts :/
@@Neilukuk It didn't start that way. As technology improved, more and more things were added to combustion engines to make them into what they are today.
All I know is I want this engine in my family car work truck and microwave
Lol
Mmm, 800hp microwave, for when you want your food vapourised so you can breathe it in instead of eat it.
sugoruyo yes exactly,
No commas makes this more interesting to interpret
@@chasetaylor4279 What's wrong, you've never heard of an 800 HP "Family-Caruckrowave"??? It sounds fucking DEADLY! 😆
Dude, you're a legend. I grew up reading about all of your exploits in Import Tuner magazine. Awesome video.
School and practice
I stumbled on this video...haven’t heard that name since back in the day, I believe he drove the first 9sec Honda. A yellow AEM hatch.
I knew I had heard the name before, but I just didn't know where... Thanks for putting it together for me 👍
Same here! Turbo & Super Street collections!
@@guntherschumann4574 Stephan drove the H22 AEM yellow hatch back in the day that hit 9's. Was an awesome achievement back then.
Great narration and clear presentation; love it! Can you keep us updated on this build?
Here for the straight 6 porn? Just was watching your jag video. Oh the algorithms... Like your channel too!
@@jeffkopher3468 it's a small world :) Thanks for watching
Excellent reference video - I stared at the front of the 1JZ for 10mins before I remembered I'd seen your video before. Looked it up again and it gave me everything I needed to pulled the front of the engine off and then the head. Our little 1jz is in a Volvo 240 that runs 10s at the moment but we're going for 9s on a stock bottom end.
Damn i also own a 240 and want to make a JZ swap in the future. Keep it up man!
Just an update, we have gone 9s on the stock bottom end 1JZ now
This guy really knows his stuff!
This is the product you get from Japan's economic bubble right before it burst. Over-engineered engines that run forever.
Sad that bubble burst. :( These engines are amazing. I imagine if you don't overboost them they last practically forever if you properly maintain them.
@Primo One Mind One Goal so true
@Primo One Mind One Goal agreed new BMW's are just trash with to much electrical issues and mechanical the late 90zz and early 2000 were excellent machines
@Primo One Mind One Goal Enjoying my M4 very much.
Jack Ostrander horny poodle 😂
Good stuff. I like how your channel is all pretty matter of fact. No intros with music and bullshit required.
straight to the point ..no ads no bs nothing
Exactly. Almost every TH-cam channel now is 10+ minutes of BS talking “vlog style”, and maybe a few minutes of worthy content. It’s refreshing to see this quality of content.
He is too busy being awesome to mess with any of that stuff.
Legendary 2JZ Engine - so simple, strong and incredibly effective at making enormous power.
This will be a long comment but it's worth it. Been searching for a video of tearing down the 2JZ engine for a long time now. You make everything very clear and understandable for someone like me who's not mechanically inclined. You even go into detail on how to properly remove the delicate parts. I 100% agree with all the positive comments the viewers have said. Cant wait to see more updated videos! Looking to re-build my engine the right way and not get screwed over by shops or people who say they know their way around a 2JZ engine. Really want to finally get my Supra running in the streets again.
I bought a 2JGE at the junkyard for $100 bucks. Put new bearings and seals in it. Added a turbo and front facing intake. Dropped that sucker in my Datsun 260z. Amazing power. 💪💪
Congratz ya found a great deal
@@SheIITear Thanks man. It was half off day at the junkyard. So when I want something I go searching the day before. I had that engine out and in a wheel barrow the eve before.
Normally I put the parts I want in the trunk of a car and take the key with me. The next morning I come in and get all the parts. So I am paying for the parts within 20 minutes of the half off day. 👍
Im thinking of doing the same thing , theres a deal near me for a 2jz for $200 (we have a different currency so they dont sell off engines cheap).
@@samurboi8007 Ok cool, what are you going to put the 2J in ?.
What I like about my swap is nobody knows it was swapped unless I rev the engine up. My car has a 3 inch exhaust, so that is all you see without popping open the hood. 😎
@@72Dexter72Manley72 ahh thats clean
Its was an ae101 sedan
Tearing down my 2JZ now, and this video is unbelievably helpful to me. Better than any book or online guide I could find. Just wrote out every step on a big piece of cardboard and worked it step by step. Thank you so much. I’d really love if you did a detailed 2JZ build. I know you have the one related to this video, but one with each individual step would be amazing.
No nonsense, nor 'cinematic' shots and no inflecting your musical taste on your poor viewers. This is how a tear down should be done. I can't wait to see more of this rebuild.
I see 2JZ, clicked like there's no tomorrow. I wanted to see this :D
I didn’t know they allowed porn on youtube.
I just ejaculated
I was thinking the same lol
n u t
Dafuq you guys mean it's not even porn
@@itzyaboi_lanzbadass6665 it is if you're a car guy
Best Mechanic channel.
By the way he works you can tell this guy is a real professional. Very clean shop, humble person, very focused on the matter. You really get the impression he has the shop under control.
2:16 My heart stopped for a couple of seconds.
I'm so glad I decided not to do my own timing belt on 04 highlander lol. Best practice from YT was put a breaker bar on it against the pavement and turn the engine over
Yassss. So exciting to see you take on a 2JZ! Also - here's a tip for taking off the crank pulley bolt if the engine is in the car: Wedge the breaker bar sitting on the bolt onto the chassis leg, and jump the starter solenoid a couple times. A lot of times the starter is strong enough to loosen the pulley bolt.
No way!! Never thought about using the mechanical advantage of the engine itself. Fantastic!!
I do this every time. And it has worked every time.
First time someone told me they were going to do this... I told him it was the dumbest thing I had ever heard. Then there was one I just couldn't get loose no matter what I threw at it, including a large 1/2" impact. This method worked quickly and without incident. Made a believer out of me.
All mechanics know this and do this. It works very well. You can also heat up the centre bolt with an oxy and then try hitting it with an impact gun. No need for the engine to be in the car, but you need a welder and gas.
@E O somebody doesnt know who fredric aasbø
is, huh?
I’d pay good money just to shadow you and watch you disassemble engines. Amazing how you explain how the parts work in perfect details
Said the same thing to my wife.
As an engine builder, I absolutely love content like this. I feel like I always learn something new and is inexplicably motivating to watch my peers. I had no idea that so many people shared the same passion for this type of content! We've currently got an EJ20 (WRX), L28 (280Z), and a VQ35 (350z) on engine stands that are being custom built for performance. If there is any real desire to have me record the teardown and/or build process, let me know. Leave a comment or hit me up via FB.
We don't currently do a whole lot with YT but I'd love to contribute to the enthusiast community in a similar way as PapadakisRacing. Much respect for the man and his craft!
I'd be interested, even if it's just little highlight videos of special processes or nice tips. Hoping to make some similar vids myself someday.
@@802Garage sounds good. I've been talking to my guys here and trying to determine the best place to start. I'll keep an eye out on your channel as well in case you beat me to punch!
@@ShiftTechPerformance Oh I highly doubt that will happen! I'm not set up for any kind of engine building yet, just plan to be in the future. Already subbed to you, so I'll keep an eye out.
I’m building my own EJ25 I would love to see some assembly videos.
I just watch these videos to compare it to Russian drift teams, Russian engine builders and Russian bloggers. I got curious how people overseas do this. So far for the teardowns I see the same kind of stands, same kind of pullers, etc. etc. But once the people get into the tuning and building you see the people approach the things from another angle.
For months , I've been looking for a video where someone can show me how the engine works, the name of each part and I come across you.
Dude, you are amazing, very well explained for a guy like me .
Happy New year 🎉
When removing pans I usually us a $3.00 plastic gasket scraper set. You can hammer that between the block and the pan with a rubber mallet. They eventually get too banged up to use, but they're far weaker than the metal and won't dent anything. Only concern is plastic shavings - buy them in a bright color and make sure you don't leave any shavings. Far safer than using a pry bar though!
This engine really was ahead of its time.
imagine just updated the motor design with more modern day stuff, it'll be an absolute killer
@@Magma_122 emission rule is stupid. They never should've implemented in the us. Were nothing like the crowded countries.
I'm still driving mine. It's swell. It'll run forever.
@@namstradomus Yeah the global warming is stupid. Good thing it doesn't concern the usa!!
@@namstradomus it's so ahead of it's time needs nothing i shall love my forever.
This engine is a typical Yamaha Engine. I'm a motorcycle mechanic and looking at the three packed gaskets and the cylinder heads its a real Yamaha manufacturing.
The 1J was a Yamaha head, 2J is a Toyota design influenced by the 1J
R6!YEE
Yamaha built a bunch of engines for Toyota back in the day
Yamaha made all the "GE", "GZE" and "GTE" cylinder heads from 4A-GE, 4A-GZE, 2ZZ-GE, 3S-GTE etc....
Yes, and very similar to the Mercedes M103, M104 engines.
I used to read about Steve papadakis in super street mag with this AEM ek9. Awesome to see he’s still racing. One day I will meet this man in person.
Wow Mr. Papadakis himself the 1320 Legend! First man to run FWD 9 second quarter! Still lookin young and healthy, doing what he loves and making great vids for real car nuts! So great to see man, thanks for taking the time to bring us this great content Stephen!
I just rebuilt my 2JZ GE (non turbo of the 2JZ GTE) a few months ago. I enjoyed the teardown in this video.
Nice
Nice video! May I make a small suggestion? I like to use a suction cup instead of a magnet when removing lifter buckets or shims, and tweezers to remove valve keepers. The reason is because the magnet will slightly magnetize any ferrous metal it touches and that magnetized area will want to hold onto the small iron wear particles floating in the oil as it passes over the bucket as well as the metal that is worn off the cam lobe and bucket itself. That flat tappet surface experiences extreme pressure and having that iron grit attracted to that surface is not too good. I just use my little valve suction cup for valve lapping to pull the lifter buckets out of the head and it works great. :)
Pro tip right there
That is a smart idea.
Smart fellow right here.
Exactly why we got yelled at in motorcycle trade school for using our magnets to remove the buckets and shims
@@Ricossmft28 I can see that... On top of that, motorcycle engines also rev super high, so the wear would be even worse.
Ah your knowledge about engines is so refreshing. I know nothing about them personally but it's always nice to see a professional at work. Well done.
What a freakin' legend, the 2jz is one of the best Inline 6 engines ever made.
I would literally pay to sit and watch the whole process live.
thank you for making these videos
Oil pain was a pain in the butt as you said but since doing what you did didn't quite work for me I found a way to get it out. I used an exacto knife to cut through the gasket then when I had "the opening" I used a chisel (because that was only thing I had here at the time) not to cut but to separate the pan from the griddle. I cut with the knife in two sports and it came out easily. I am not a professional but I am building engines and cars for my channel and this 2JZ goes to my BMW drift car. Yout videos are awesome and are helping me tear the engine down and it will definitely help me put it back together. Shout out to you Steph.
Fantastic video. I love watching folks like you. Clear, Concise, Articulate. The best way to teach!
more engine and transmission teardowns please and thank you! love all the detail and clarity you offer. you are amazing!
A lot of engineering went into making these engines. Thank you for that masterclass sir
Straight six engines are gold when it comes to high RPMs, this engine and older ford straight sixes (200, 250 and 300") all have seven main bearings to prevent harmonic vibration at those higher revs. Now thats what i call engineering.
I used to have a '91 Toyota MR2 Turbo, with the 3S-GTE engine. I miss that car every day!
Love it! Do exactly this type of production every time Steph.
Each time I watch this I learn something new, thank you🙌
Man you are a legend! Thanks for taking the time to document and share this with the world!
This is the type of high-skill SURGERY we all would like to master.
Stopped my Netflix and chill to cast to my main room 80".. thanks.
honestly just made my gf watch this
Is this the definition of success? 80" TV way to go bro
@@desmond7829 Then Im half as successful as cnknguyen
@@desmond7829 Only if the 80"is in the bedroom.
@Eclipse538 Probably more like debt in reality lol
awesome video! Thank you for making it. So interesting. I never realized how ridiculously over engineered the cam area is, no wonder those engines are such beasts stock.
Unbelievably amazing explanation and video, this needs to be shown to techs everywhere
A very thorough and concise video for a wonderful engine! Thanks for putting this together so clearly. Very professional!
I freaking love your channel man. I'd love to see more in depth stuff like this and maybe some performance-specific in depth videos like ways to build N/A and forced induction power or setting up race suspension.
Please upload part 2, the waiting is killing me, and make it longer :)
Steve, I was running glh turbos back in the 80's and watched you kids come up. FM, AMS, Lisa k, you... what a ride! Was an early custie of AMS. Loved my vr4 for 10 years! Over built, it almost twisted itself into a pretzel. Good ol days. You're a good kid. Keep it up!
Knowledge, expertise, and attention to detail... so nice to see. Thanks for this.
Thumbs up! Very Well Done.
agree w/ Griffin pierce on box knife
Great video! I would love to see the reassembly after its all shiny and new 🤗
I like how you explain everything in detail, even the simple things like how the knock sensor works and where the spark plug goes on the head. Thank you
Yessir,..I'll subscribe right now. I want to see more of this build.
Your narration is easy to follow along,....and great camera work too.
Thanks!
You do a great job teaching! Thank you
But if I had to put that back together I would surely have bolts left over.
If this was my dad and I asked "hey dad what's that?" He would've said "that's the doo hickey now stop asking so many damb questions"
That was incredible. So informative. Thank you!
Wow.. I am actually amazed at how you do this. That was so fast and informative, you knew EXACTLY what you were doing all the time. Very nice.. subscribed!
I really enjoy listening to someone that is a savant in whatever field they work in. Good video, I love your teardown videos
2:16 - that is a lot of force on that engine stand. lol you really trust your equipment.
i'm always terrified of engine stands. they just don't look right.
SpaceMissile I have to remove my cranks pulley soon I’ll let you know how my 40$ used engine stand does
@@joshuacruz4046 how'd it go?
I've never used one but I'm pretty sure I'd want to modify it for stability in some way
@@GameLover1022 did alright wast that hard
You just did the baddest engine stand commercial in the history of the world. Ok, its the only engine stand comm. but man. You was rockin on that motor. Pro moves...
Wow..... You actually explained everything. I enjoyed your video. And I appreciate it a lot. You made it very easy for me to understand a few things. Thank you.
Thank You Professor Chris for showing me this incredible channel!
Też jestem od Chrisa, ale nie mam pojęcia, gdzie On to polecał :o
Hehe chyba chodziło o to, że wyskoczyło s filmach polecanych obok filmów Chrisa. Też oglądam
Great vid! I remember when I did the head gasket on my 2JZ-GE, the head gasket on its own was almost twice the price of the full upper gasket kit, which included the head gasket and every other rubber piece on the top of the engine! Go figure...
I have the same engine in my Gs300 still runs quiet at 25yrs old!
Awesome video as usual . Really valuable for those like me looking to learn. Thanks so much for doing this for us.
Very detailed! Thanks for this! ❤️
Champ! This is one seriously awesome detailed and to the point videos I've seen. We need more like this. Well done!
To get the sump off with out prying it off I use fishing line to cut through the gasket and it makes it a little bit easier
Good idea - or maybe a piano wire or guitar string wrapped round a couple of bits of tubing?
One thing about using magnets to disassemble steel parts in an engine: You leave magnetization behind so these places will attract iron particles in the future. If you keep your engine oil meticulously clean, that's not an issue. But it can be... If you can use a suction cup whenever possible.
(I did an internship in Audi motorsports department 20 years ago. This is one of the things I picked up there.)
Awesome! Looking forward to all the rebuild details.
I don't know if it would work on this engine, but when rebuilding big truck axles, you can just take out all the dif cover bolts and blow compressed air into the dif lock hole or the dif fill plug. This blows an rtv silicone gasket wide open and lets you pull it all apart by hand.
If the engine it sill complete and sealed up, you should be able to do the same with the engine.
Take the two studs of for the pan, then hit the pan using a rubber mallet in the comer.
The corner is a lot stronger due the bend and it wont dint in.
As a ford tech this what i do when i have to drop a pan.
Wow !! Great video, I need to watch at 1/2 speed to learn more. Thank you
Extreme quality content. Thank you so much for not adding music, as well
Just a little thing I noticed - you didn't remove the small timing belt guide piece from the oil pump before removing the timing belt pulley and bend it. It happened to me the first time too, even broke off a tooth of the gear. No offence by any any means, you are so skilled and knowledgeable person, keep up the good work!
true , risk bending the gear. most cases shouldnt need to use the puller for crank gear on 2j
Is that larger gear behind the timing belt pulley the crank angle sensor pickup wheel that he mentioned?
Would love to see this for a Honda K20 engine
Pfi speed has you bro
I love what you said about torqueing even after all your experience. Its frustrating when mechanics skip that to save time. I loved watching this build, well done!!
Anyone who doesn't torque has no credibility on matters of precision
Thank you for this video! Honor and respect!
Thank you for this detailed tutorial. I’m about to tear down my 1jz non vvti I used this video as reference. Where did you get that engine stand??
This is why Bryan found a Supra to repay Dom with. He knew once Jesse put about 10 grand into it, it would decimate all.
@Richard Vanwinkle Exactly.. wouldn't want the mad scientist to have to rip apart the block and replace the piston rings.
Those overnight parts from Japan are no joke
yeah hector is running 3 Honda civics with spoon engines and everyone knows what he just ordered from harrys
hey no sweat man just stick it on your tab at Harry's
@@roycooper7461 ....you a cop?
Great video. Thank you for putting it together
Awesome video! Cant wait to see the finished product!
Whenever I get my mk4 Supra I’ll be taking it to you for an engine upgrade 😁
Omar Hernandez good luck finding one
Excellent information gotta love the pulling down engines. This video was produced perfectly new subscriber. The only thing you missed was the heavy metal intro and lots of visible tattoos. That's sarcasm don't change anything.
This video is amazing! the commentary and the explosion of knowledge.
I've watched this about 3 times and I have thoroughly enjoyed it each time thank you sir!
Looks good. Another great thing helping out is a plain old straight 6 engine has the centrifugal force downward as it runs...making it a naturally easily balanced engine where as a V style block has the force from opposing sides making things want to come apart naturally. Cooling is a key factor in a straight 6...that and keeping the large surface area of that aluminum head sealed well. Probably would benefit well with head studs a thinner gasket if your running higher boost levels often.
Use heat gun softens the oil pan sealing compound
Stephen, I've been watching/reading about you since the start of Turbo & Super Street magazine days. You are a pioneer & a master of your craft. Keep up the awesome vids man!
Having a special room just for engine work is top notch. I'd watch you rebuild lawnmowers in there, its just so cool to have that.
I thought that was a sweet setup too...
Aw man these engines are so cool! I wanna put one in my dail-
