    In the thread the guy said he built the motor to hold 1500 horse power. I doubt he cares about weight distribution.

    He just wants to go really really fast on the highway.

    Well 1500 hp will snap the drive components from the RX, I hope he took that into account before its sitting on the side of the road.

    nice but the balance is all f'ed up now. LS1 might have been a better swap but I know this set up will be fun to thrash none the less.

    Hell, just do a 13B-REW or 20B if you are doing a swap - better balance. If I'm doing a 2JZ swap, I'd put it in a Lexus IS instead.

    Would be just as heavy but i'd still rather have the S38. There's one at the shop (AutoFab) in an E24 putting out over 600whp....the engine was built to hold well over 1,000.

    I wanna see it actually running. Putting an engine in a car is one thing... the wiring and fuel delivery and everything else are what takes the time and knowledge.

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.

    Why the VVt-i 2j? Weaker than the regular 2jzgte and harder to get certain parts in America.
