Who Puts A 2JZ Into An FD???

[Elbow]

Why would anyone put a 2JZ into a FD?

Dumb swap IMO

[Catnip]

That's stupid, like putting a discussion about cars in the WL instead of the car talk section.

[Nemesis]

why would you put a 2JZ in an s2000? Seriously.... thats a dumb swap if you ask me.

[Stormhammer]

because you ****ing can

why would you put an F20C into an AE86? Or an NSX?

[EuroTra$h]

uhh because it would be bad ass hah ha

[alpine_aw11]

I'd drive a 2jz'd fd... Wouldn't do the swap personally, but whatever the owner wants is what they want. At least it's a good motor.

20B FD = the titties
26B FD = OMG I CANT BELIEVE SOMEONE DID THAT *faints

Anything is better than a rotary

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa no.

[Sport1.3]

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa no.

prove me wrong.

LSX swap > any rotary


you can keep your piece of junk, oil burning, gas guzzling, weed wacker sounding, leaf blower tq making, wankel garbage

So you are saying no rotary is better then a LSX swap into a FD? So if I had a R26B in a FD that wouldn't beat a stock LS?

[blackboi50]

why would u put an RB26 in a mustang???........oh yea!!! ......1

well there was never a car manufactured with a R26B, but if we're going to go there we can......if you're adding 2 rotors than i could easily add displacement, more aggressive tune, aftermarket power adders etc etc...or hell if you're going for a fully race/purpose built motor why not a LS7R or LS9....the LS will always make more power/dollar, its less than 100Lbs heavier than a stock 13b rew......and most importantly it has proven reliability

x2 rx7's are cool cars, but the reliability is ****

Yeah you are smart

Who cares... it's not yours...

[mocha latte cupcake]

Why would you drive a rx.... thats stupid.

[OneSlow5pt0]

no redline > 9k redline

[Sport1.3]

no redline > 9k redline

making midrange power > 219380129381 rpm redline

i dont agree with that exact chassis, but the motor is bullet proof to the enth degree, has a gigantic aftermarket, decently easy to source, make astounding power, sound 1st class, and swapped in a lighter vehicle can absolutely fly!

A 2jz weights 500+ pounds and it is as most Inline 6s are, very long. Not all that great for handling. Yes, if all you understand is straight line than that is the motor for you but otherwise, i think it makes a car too front heavy.

handling was never really brought up in the discussion, but For daily driving purposes the 2j is more reliable, more fuel efficient, and has low end tq for days

That is just how i look at a car. I know it wasn't brought up but balance is more important than anything else to me. Now a rotary isn't very light either. I'm pretty sure an LS1 weights less than both and is more reliable than both.

i dont really remember the specifics, but back when i had my FC the swap into a FD was heavier by about 30 lbs or so....but that was without any creature comforts like a/c p/s etc

[Sport1.3]

a 20b swap would cost more than a 2jz swap......just so you know

[OneSlow5pt0]

N/A 2.6L = over 700hp

lol

[Sport1.3]

N/A 2.6L = over 700hp

lol

technically (and i know rotor heads will debate this till the cows come home) the 13b is a 2.6 liter. the engine makes more than 1 power stroke per revolution. so its more like a 5 liter+ making 700hp....which is still amazing, but nothing mind blowing

[Ed]

was this thread created because of a user on here? i saw some guy on here that has a 2jz fd... his sig is something stupid like 2jz + fd = your gf and me or some dumb **** like that.

it's a cool swap though, but i'd go with a lsx or a 3 rotor.

[EJ25RUN]

Yes, in the $/HP debate a Chevy V8 is usually always the best option. I think i read somewhere SCOOT will build you an R26B for $20,000+. Another thing about a rotary. If the right person builds it, it can last a very very long time under the toughest conditions.

Same with DSM's, that don't mean sht.

Sorry but yes it does. Very few mechanics are properly trained to work on a Rotary and not many diy mechanics are up to it either. A rotary is not a failed item from the factory like the 7 bolt dsm was.

Sorry, but if there's 3 guys that can make a rotary reliable, that's not win.
IDC about no damn 7 bolts. BTW, bad mpg, high temps, and no reliability (except the few...) is not success.... in fact I think it's called inefficiency.

The Renesis motor from the Rx-8 was definitely a fail. Sure the 7 bolt has its fualts, but which motor doesn't. The 6 bolt 4G63 however, was probably the best 4 cylinder turbo motor ever built.

i agree LS6 would been betetr swap than a 2jz

[Nemesis]

Id swap a D16 into an FD to be originalllllllllllllll lol
