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
This guy is everyones dream mechanic.
Mr SLAV is it you?!?
WWOW Mr Slav is Here
@@HiruBieel ikr
@@galaxilox4526 yeah its awesome XD
@@HiruBieel its like seeing a celebrity in public
The camera work, the voice over information, not to mention the build itself. Pure excellence
Agreed. You said everything I was thinking.
He made it look to easy lpl
camera man forgot on oh his cameras into the engine cylinder i think @7:43! ^^
Exactly
How ca it cost to re beld engine myne is got knowck😭
My knowledge of building an engine: 0 My interest of someone building an engine in less than 15 minutes: over 9000
I can relate to dat :)
I recommend you do it! Rebuilding motors is so satisfying and calming

ಠ_ಠ
Saa
Do I have a 2JZ? No. Am I going to be rebuilding one soon? No. Did I still watch the whole video? Yes. You should do a teardown / rebuild on a 13B rotary.
Same here!
RainBoxRed I like that comment dude
meeeee tooooooo
Me too hahaha. But i wanted to see the final result like the actual car on the street.
same here
Best video ever. The intro was all of 5 seconds and then it was like 15 minutes of pure informative knowledgeable engine building
hi
Not only that, but 95% of everything he said applied to my Subaru engine build, and probably most Japanese engines.
Super satisfying too it's so shiny and new
But he didn't even say 'what is up guys', or put his video in the form of a top 10 list, or scream something wacky at the camera once. Literally unwatchable.
I wasn't even instructed to "go ahead and smash that like and subscribe" this is great
i love how he is wording this like a tutorial even though probably no one is doing a complete teardown
Currently doing a complete teardown on my JZ, and this video is a god send lolol. answered all my questions and more.🙏🏽
Yes I am also building a 2jz rn :D
I’m doing a rebuild. You’re not??
no u dont
nah im doing one relatively soon too
Best video in KZhead. I wish every major engine have a detailed video like this. I watched this video 50 times. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I am a heavy diesel engine builder myself. I really appreciate how detailed you get in the assembly process. Rather than just saying "install the pistons, and torque them", you explain the process involved, entirely. Two thumbs up!
Totally agree, it's nice to see a proper build and not just an assemble.
Fuzzy dice projects (another youtube channel) does even more detailed videos on engine rebuilds in his garage. Check the S10 Blazer project.
What's amazing is how detailed he gets in so little time. That's actually some pretty skilled editing.
@@802Garage You wrote my thoughts on paper better than i did! He is EXTREMELY detailed and concise, without extra BS, and while still providing the information that is necessary.
@@briank2411 Something I need to get a lot better at, hahaha. Cheers m8.
anyone who uses torque wrench all the time for engine builds and repairs is a saint
I can't imagine not using a torque wrench for any of this.
@@rimjobledouche5201 i know right... and yet ive herd many guys and seen guys do things with out them... ignorance is bliss and sometimes telling people something offends them and so you just cringe
i thought everyone uses a torque wrench when assembling critical parts. Thats standard procedure.
@@addictedtopussy69 youd be suprised... im from florida, south florida.. what ive seen is people who know how to fix / modify things but don know why or how it works... they dont know about torque specs or anything... just learned from wtahcing other people with out understanding the science behind it.. for example a small shop changing a head gasket or valve cover gasket... with out using toque wrench or going in the right order... yeah they can do it but over time it causes major problems and $
I am a little OCD, so everything has to be perfect or it will drive me insane. One time at school a guy torques a bolt up to 44.8 lb-ft, I said 45 lb-ft. It drove me insane and had to re do it.
I like that you follow all the specs and explained everything clearly. I’m not building a 2jz for now but I enjoy watching it.
This video makes rebuilding an engine seem pretty approachable. It's quite intimidating looking online (especially forums, ugh) and seeing people who seem to already know what they're doing, but don't EXPLAIN what they're doing. So thank you.
Love how clean, orderly and systematic the whole process was.
It´s complete normal to work clean, whats the point...😂😂😂
@@boostwars6912 it's called drawing satisfaction from observing a job well done, it's an observation. That's the point.
Adam Kelly fool wouldn’t understand
@@dlozza2000 Or, fool thinks it's special because he can't do anything himself
@@boostwars6912Yes, that’s generally how things work. If you can’t swim very well, you’re impressed by some girl doing backstrokes with ease. Go make a KZhead channel if you’re so jealous.
As an rb owner this makes me cry seeing how good this engine is from factory
I just made the jump after 10 years of RB's, and literally every single thing I've looked at is better designed, bigger and stronger.
way simpler too compared to the RB and all it's vaccum lines and useless stuff under the intake manifold.
@@liftedcj7on44s you know its a nissan when it has a fuck ton of lines under the manifold
Zac Youngson I feel your pain lol. Hurts me to admit the 2J is a better platform.
Turbo Yoda said it best. When someone takes a good 10 year old engine apart ant works out ways to improve it this is always going to be the result.
Always enjoy watching this guy. Speaks and explains everything very well and never condescending. Great job mate!
Awesome video. The information density/pacing of the narration was some of the best I’ve seen. Perfect.
🍿 Better than going to the movies. KZhead needs more of these videos!
Emanuel Ormonde you said it bro💯💯
I think this type of videos need to be on KZhead rewind . Not that Fortnight shit
Commander Cody hell yeah fr, now I finally have a full guide on how to rebuild my motor
Then you are gonna live Subie-performance
there is also a video like this were they are rebuilding a subaru boxer
Why is this relaxing to watch? I love the surgical methodology and super clean room.
Yeah, I fell asleep couple of times during the video...
@Muhammad Conning was gunna say this. pretty much asmr.
Ya i feel it
No hammers, barking dogs beer cans ,or vice grips ?
in japan they even kept the room temperature constant
it's amazing that engines are able to function, i see so many potential points of failure. however tolerances are so tight that it's minimized. still mindblowing
Mapping out my journey and researching a build over the course of coming years. 350z time attack car, engine swap is on the end of my priorities but this content is really appreciated.
This has to be the best engine build on KZhead! Everything from the commentary & camera work to the engine itself. Great work!
@King Brilliant hi
Probably will never do this kind of work that's why it's a beautiful thing to watch. Thanks
The teardown and this full build were both amazing to watch. Wow!. This guy is everyones dream mechanic..
Refreshing.. Straight to the point and no bullshit advertisement every 5 seconds. Thank you!
never-mind the whole "building an engine correctly" thing, the explanation the entire time was super-informative.
Facts.
I think I speak for many when I say that your effort on this video is MUCH appreciated.
Man, so descriptive and to the point. Literally. Thank you for this video! Subscribed! Keep it up man. 🙏🏽🤙🏽
The best tutorial video ever put out for the 2jz. Amazing work!!!
"please consider subscribing"; never smashed that button faster in my life
Same, these are great
Makes me wonder if I should have gone into engine rebuilds instead of informatics...I just love the intricate engineering involved.
So true:)
Straight up.
best comment ever lol this is so accurate
As someone that doesn't know much about engines or is planning to work on engines, its still a beautiful thing to watch. I could admire the finished product for a while!
So satisfying to watch a job done right by a professional. I wish all craftsmen were like you
You're so organized, intelligent and articulate. Awesome video
Very concise and well edited video. You've got all the critical details without having the video be 2 hours long in 10 parts. Rare to see this sort of quality on KZhead.
It's impressive how much is stock. I expected an exotic head, a big fat crankshaft, and all kinds of other things. Toyota really did do a good job on the 2jz didn't they?
It was a product of the 90's in Japan. Their economy had been crushing it for years and Toyota could afford to over engineer their parts. Such a stark contrast to the current Japanese economy.
The RB engine had been out a wee while Toyota got a few and thought this is cool tech... how can we improve it in every way. This the jz was born
@@rx323bug actually no, this engine wasn't designed at all by Toyota, they took it from yamaha's 1jz and just made adjustments to it and called it the 2jz
@@AC-xq4hh Toyota didn't take anything from Yamaha, Yamaha has been helping Toyota design almost all (if not all) their "GE" series of heads since the 2000gt. Its always been a team effort Yamaha perfects and optimizes the head ports, angles and valves specifically to Toyota's crank stoke, diameter and piston shape.
the 2JZ is arguably one of the best stock motors thats ever been produced.
Fantastic production. Great audio, great angles. Thanks for taking the time to produce it.
Looks like I saw this video in the past. I'm still enjoying it. Love the video quality/editing.
the attention and care is beyond mind blowing. your literally a 2jz master. if I was loaded and needed a rebuild for a 2jz. I would only trust you.
Exactly, you'd HAVE to be loaded in order to afford his kind of work. Surely, an invoice from him for a 2JZ rebuild is at least a few grand in labor.
Anh Tran same here! 👍🏼
Yeah man and he got that engine looking like it just came off the assembly line.
@@MrEpicAndroid maybe somewhere between 8-9.5 k
@@malcolmaustin8745 Mine was about 13k total and that was for a 3.4 stroker and a head games vvti head.
Seen plenty of engine build vids but you blow all of those away in quality, details, and explanations. You got a new sub.
This is a KZhead content. Pure info that goes straight to your head even if you’re not a car guy.
Wow, not only are you a great Mechanic, but you produce very well made instructional videos.
Probably the best engine rebuild video I’ve ever watched! Clear, concise, comfortable speed, fantastic voice over, excellent lighting and camera work, the list goes on! Thank! You!
BEST video I've EVER watched on here. No BS time-waisting face time. Thank You.
I just found gold! Amazing video. Thank you so much for the upload.
Fantastic video man. I can’t wait to check out the rest of your content. Thanks for putting this out for us.
Great vid, no music no BS just to the point.
I love how he tells you what hes actually doing and why he does it rather than just doing it and leaving me confused
thank you for explaining all the small parts of the 2jz this was really helpful
Wow, you made that look effortless. Look the short but precise explanation. Thank you
A masterpiece! You condense a 2JZ engine build into a 14 minute video. Fascinating to watch.This is now another thing for my enormous hobby backlog.
That's a cool torque wrench!
That's what I was thinking! I planned on scouring the internet to find it.
I assume you mean the one with the flat bit and manual gauge? Those are made for lighter torque applications, like engine components. I know snap on has one like it, but there are probably other sellers
Yeah, they're super nice. I've used both, and I like the dial type for smaller stuff where you sometimes don't get a good click. Of course if you're in tight spaces or an awkward angle, it can be a pain because you have to see the dial rather than going by feel or sound.
Looks really fun.. :)
Rotational torque wrench 🔧
This channel is gold mine .. , thanks for sharing the pro information with us dude you are a genius when it comes to engines. Subbed.
You just blow my mind,amazing work...amazing skills. You made everything look so easy....the way you explain thing's.

Doing engine builds myself, you can see the quality of your work is spot on
Where do you buy the parts
This video is a pure masterpiece. Loads of useful information presented brilliantly, great camera work, editing and narrating! Pretty much the best explanatory video i’ve seen on KZhead.
This guy had all the information for every single part. The most informative video I’ve ever seen
I appreciate the excellent explanations of everything. I’m not an engine guy so this was very informative.
The 2JZ represents the pinnacle of automotive engineering along with the Toyota GR engines. The VAG 1.9 TDI engine and PSA's XUD engine. We couldn't build such a master piece today.
zoidberg444 - Compare this masterpiece to the B58 in the new Supra. That thing is half plastic. It’s going to fall apart like the rest of the modern BMW engine lineup. Oh, and the timing chain is in the rear, next to the transmission. When those soy/plastic chain guides melt, it’ll be a straight trip to the scrapyard. I bet we’ll start seeing 2020 Supra’s going for pennies on the dollar in five years.
@@ClockworksOfGL Yeah. BMW are lightyears behind Toyota in terms of build quality and technology. BMW have miserable timing chains on their N47 diesel engines. The chains snap all the time. It costs thousands to repair. I'd imagine the B58 timing set up will be even more fragile and prone to failure.
@@ClockworksOfGL Typical used BMW pricing curve: $70k today, $30k in three years, $15k in five years, $1,500 within the decade.
dude thats amazing you condensed that build into 14min while still being extremely informative
I just bought a vvti 2j for my s14, this video helped a ton! Thank you!
