2JZ EVO!!! Mike, is that possible?
Longitudinally mounted RWD engine in a longitudinally mounted rear/awd car? Besides mounting a transfer case to it how's that any differant than a 240 or supra? :tongue:Quote:

2JZ IN A CRX!!!!!!!!

2JZ in a Camry
Wow, its like the 2jz is now the b18 for the big boy's lol.
300zx with RB26????
i am doing 300zx with 2jz and skyline awd under the chassis...
Just out of curiosity....why? Just because you like the styling of the Z or what? Why not just buy a GTR Skyline?
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
Oh ok, pretty cool and unique
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:
that was an RB silly :slap: ...and it would still handle like ass :tongue:Quote:

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
Hrmm....you know that's actually a pretty good idea...turbo frankenstein k20/K24 bottom end. 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.Quote:

^ 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.
That's what the lot original poster did...i new the jgtc supra debate would come up, they ran the 4 cylinder. My dream car build is a NSX and a reliable k-series in the back would sure screw with some peoples heads :DQuote:

I also vote for the 1uz lexus v8. There is a fairly good bit of information on clublexus.com. very cool engine.
true enough but there is a there is a line that needs to be drawn where its just a stupid idea and a wasteQuote:

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
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
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 ;)
2JZ in a FD RX-7 is oooold news, done many years ago.
Sucks you think old Z cars are ugly... :(
Stock Miatas are ugly ,yes. But go look at the thread i started in the Mazda section...might change your mind.
Wanna really fuck with people? 20B in a Miata. looking at 600+ hp in a 2300 lb car.
What about a 2JZGTE IS300??
2jz 240z.
2jz 81 corolla wagon
he already said old Z cars were ugly :(Quote:

Those welds are one of the sexiest things I've ever seen in my life.
Mmm... remote turbo :yumyum:

pre 350z are all ugly, yes.
2jz IS300 is to easy, it can be done like a honda swap.
260'z, 280's, & 300's UNTIL the Z32 were fugly...240z was by far the best looking Z, even in stock form.Quote:
