thanks for some ideas...

[BuBBa DRiFT]

i say you go LS swap in a 280zx, twin turbo THAT bitch :D

[2jz240sx]

280zx? um again ugly....
lol...

2jz twin turbo G35?

[ct9a gsr]

You sound like you have deep pockets... and you like evos. That's perfect, buy my car. It'll beat that 2jz 700whp 300zx project you're talking too. =D

oh, btw, I'm serious... thx.

[slow_hatch]

I say get a G35, baller :goodjob:

[2turbo4u]

You know what I would tell you

[2jz240sx]

hmm

what are the specs on your evo?
why you want to get rid of it?

let me know...


p.s. deep pockets id rather not have...if you knew why i have them...(death in fam) is my story...

thanks and let me know.

fuck that find a blown up 01-?? cobra thats blown up and put the 2j in that. If you wanna do it do it right.

[iloveboost]

Out of your choices, I'd get the Evo.

Personally, I'd finish the 240 and invest the rest into something that will make you money.

P.S. Charles' (ct9agsr) evo is awesome.

[Elbow]

Just build up a GS300 with 2JZ for a daily driver, and save the rest

MIKE! WTF...you know how bad i hate mustangs...lol....

supras are way too pricey...cause i wouldnt buy an automatic.

Z32 300zx Slicktop split down the center and widened 6 inches ;) You'll need a custom windshield (rear can be lexan) but the rest is just "chassis" support & metal fabrication. The aluminum hood would be simple to "stretch" or simply lay carbon fiber. A 76" wide car with a 96" wheel base would be badass! Exactly the same as a viper ;)

[2jz240sx]

damn, sounds pricey and hard to do...
i dunno if turbo dave would like all that work!

[99SI]

MK3 w/ 1uzfett will make you famous.

there's quite a nice little bit of information out there on the 1uz boosted. They came from the factory with forged crank and rods. Pistons are cast so if you want big power Arias sells a boost piston for the 1uz off the shelf. Most of the good stuff for the Lexus V8 is available out of Australia. Such as bellhousing adapters for running a C4/TH350 behind it as well as some really nice stand alones such as Autronic.

[2jz240sx]

well was talkin today with turbo dave...
um i really want a 300z
so we came to the conclusion

r34 awd uner the 300z chassis
twin turbo 2jz
so AWD 300zx

i will more than likely stick with this since i want a 300zx bad...
thanks for some ideas though...

[Vteckidd]

looks like we got a $50,000 car to build

[speedminded]

looks like we got a $50,000 car to buildI promised myself after owning a Z32 for 4 years I would never have another one until I had $50k cash to build it with. hahaha! That was after spending a day with a couple Steve Millen IMSA GTO/GTS/GTP Nissans :hump:

Think i'd rather spend that on building an NSX now :)

[Vteckidd]

if i were him, id buy a lexus to daily drive, and put money in the 240sx LOL.

My next car will be a 2J Mustang or a Tacoma. Then i want to buy a vette

[A.P. Photography]

naww, you need a 2j hoerunner!
Thats what I am talkin bout. :yes:

[speedminded]

since we're obviously on a 2jz kick and i got to thinking about the NSX....people are putting V8's in a Fiero using the stock 5-speed Getrag/Muncie transmission with an adapter plate...hrmm, 5 speed fiero gearbox mated to a 2jz...nsx... :ninja:

2JZ EVO!!! Mike, is that possible?

I would think there would be too much weight up front to road racee it really effectively, so I woul say drag.

Wow, its like the 2jz is now the b18 for the big boy's lol.

300zx with RB26????

[2jz240sx]

i am doing 300zx with 2jz and skyline awd under the chassis...

[Elbow]

Just out of curiosity....why? Just because you like the styling of the Z or what? Why not just buy a GTR Skyline?

[2jz240sx]

hard to find! and pricey...
buy a $1000 300zx shell and go to work...
and dont like the rb's, cost and hard to find parts....
and yes i love the style of 300's

[Elbow]

Oh ok, pretty cool and unique

[MachNU]

shit i would rock the shit out of a 2jzTT mustang, that would be bad as fuck.....anyways its already been done. TOyko Drift baby!!!!! :lmfao:

simply not enough room to house a 2j in a nsx engine bay.. you could fit it in there but then no room for a xmission lol.. now if you really want it in there.. theres always cutting up an aluminum masterpiece for the sake of straight line power.. not a good idea IMO...

but theres talks of full race building K20/K24/F20C powered nsx.. seems very interesting.. but 6 throttle bodies looks better than 4.. so I'll stick to what I got lol

It's already made for transverse mounting and the exhaust is even on the side farthest from the cabin. That engine is farrrr easier to work on then the C30a/C32b.

^ That's awesome. Although, for the price Geoff stated it would be worth it to just build the C motor.

Unless it were a commonly swapped motor with available wiring kits and mounts, I could see the cost getting high up there really fast. This isn't even taking into consideration the cost of the chassis.

Pretty awesome idea and I'd love to see it. I would personally just buy a turbo Elise or Areil Atom for the price it would cost to do that.

My dream car build is a NSX and a reliable k-series in the back would sure screw with some peoples heads :D

[Vteckidd]

anything is possible with deep pockets

[Sport1.3]

How bout a 1uz in the back of a SW20 MR2 (MKII). there are tons of ppl working on them at the moment, only a few have actually done it. the 1uz is also only ab 50-60 lbs heavier then a complete 3sgte!! if you need more power then that, twin turbo that bastard.

[nofive-0]

I also vote for the 1uz lexus v8. There is a fairly good bit of information on clublexus.com. very cool engine.

[nsxtcy21]

true enough but there is a there is a line that needs to be drawn where its just a stupid idea and a waste

It would be worth it if you have a running C, now if you've got a C thats suffered a catastrophic failure- sucks to be you! lol.

Well treated replacement engines go for ~7,000.. installation will be around 1,500-2,000. (its doable yourself but you're going to need a lift to raise the chassis off the car, most dont have that luxury) Now you're in about 9,000.. more than twice what a K swap runs.. almost 3x what a pieced together k24/k20 frank would be..

Xmission would roughly sell for anywhere between 2,000-3,500 depending on mileage, condition, snap-ring range, year, etc. At that point a k20 swap would start to become feasible if the total for the swap is ~15,000-20,000... now Geoff mentioned a rough number of 35,000..

For that price you could buy another C (7k), Sleeve and pistons (~2k), Supertech Valvetrain (1k), lovefab turbo kithttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_qBo91HIcE (~15k) and still have ~10k to spend on on misc items and labor... I'm not even a boost junkie like most of you guys.. but Cody Loveland knows what the fuck he's doing lol.. my money would be going to him instead of Geoff in the rare occurance that I dont like my NA C32 build I'm working on or my engine decides to prematurely blow up lol

[Vteckidd]

I agree, the only people spending $35000 for a K swap in their NSX are BALLLLLLLLLLIIINNNN

even at 35,000, i think most would rather spend the money on a Built C motor

[speedminded]

i've seen and heard of NSX theft recovery shells with suspension and a few random parts still attached going for under $5k so i'd say the build could be done for quite a bit less. If I were to do it, i'd just get a K20a3 w/ 5 speed gearbox (doesn't even have to run!) as cheap as possible to do all the design & fabrication work with and once completed start looking for sponsors willing to build a K20/k24 turbo 6 speed to swap in it.

I'm thinking you can remove the rear suspension completely from the NSX and replace it with the frontend components of the RSX/SI, obviously removing the steering rack and having to weld in new shock mounts, etc. I haven't researched or compared axle width yet but i'm sure they're pretty close and could easily be tweaked with a little bit of ingenuity.

I honestly think it's a feasible project that is not far fetched. 4 cylinder transverse mounted mid engine car, it's not like it's the first time it's been done ;)

Then the 350z came out and it was an upside down boat, a giant slug...so much has to be done to it to make it remotely aesthetically pleasing and the G35 Coupe/Skyline GT still looks a million times better.

Twin turbo mustang. Parts are so cheap and easy to get a hold of. 1000hp would be an afterthought.

What do you want to do with the car? Go fast apparently but in a straight line or what?

Considering that NASA has a racing series solely for mustangs and camaros I would say that they can be made to handle. I have owned 2 and I am a honda fan boy. You can buy full suspension kits that replace almost every component and completely changes the geometry. They can be made to handle despite the fact that they are heavy. No heavier than supras or 300s though.

I'm quite familiar with NASA's American Iron series too, and i watched Jason Priestley drive the GT cars back in the day when he first started (97/98) ;-) Technically anything with a wide enough tire is gonna handle, to a point anyways.

i will post pics up later today!!!!

i cannot wait till the is complete.

[blown_ss]

i think you should do a rb30 block with a rb26 head fully built with the biggest turbo that you can find. put that in a s13 240 with a s15 front. a friend of mine was going to do that but he backed out. it has only been done like twice in the world.

I dunno man, I've always disliked the headlight covers. Kind of like the sunblockers you see on the rear windows. Yuck. To each their own. :)

Echonova if you knew how much power comes out of doing that swap then you wouldnt say anything. gay???? far from it. it would be the best built swap that you could do, that is if you can find the block. look into it and you will understand. have a nice day.

You can get tons of power from any engine if it's built properly: 900 hp from a b-series honda 4 cylinder and you can get parts everywhere, you can get 1,000+ from a 2jz and you can get parts everywhere - but with an RB where do suppose you'll find even the simpliest part for it? If you've ever been around the VG30de/det's then you know what kind of pain they can be and they were even sold in the US for 6+ years so imagine how difficult an RB is. Parts don't break when you aren't using or don't need the car, first you'll have to find the part then wait 1 to 3 weeks for shipping...how do you suppose that works out when you break something at the track or an event? All the money spent for the weekend is wasted bc you can't continue to drive the car. Unless you have a surplus of parts and spares it's not exactly the wisest setup for this side of the pond.

he was looking for a project so i put that out there. he is the type of guy that wants to do something different so i figured that he would like that. i never said that it would be easy at all. he has already found a new project so it doesnt matter anyways.
