Awesome. I was going to beg you for corner scale weights, but not if your drag racing it. Not as much of a big deal there...

That engine is SOOOOO heavy. Compared to a 13B anyway...

 

Hello, I am new here... I have rx7 1985 model and doing the restoration work now....

 

yeah the 2jz is VERY HEAVY. a lot of people dont realize it. my buddy helped me load and unload it and he was like " how heavy could it be," well he found out real quick!

 

Yup.

Not talking crap about it though. Just means you have to mount it low and back in a car that will turn (which this one isn't of course). Makes gobs of power per pound even at 650 dressed wtih a tranny and a big single

 

no thats where u are wrong lol. the motor is all the way against the firewall and VERY low to the ground i can post better pics this weekend! i know u arent talking crap about the 2j tho who can? lol great motor!

 

That's actually a very nice build. Good work.

 

This makes me happy, that not everyone on here is stuck on rotaries like I thought they would be. Expensive looking build.

 

nicely done man! what made you choose a 2j rather than a v8?

 

yeah dude same here i thought id get bashed! lol

i been a 2jz junkie since day one. theres a lot of v8 swapped rx7s floating around, esp fds. so thats y i decided to go with a 2jz in a fc its somewhat different

 

toyota power is always good!

 

awesome swap

 

This may sound funny, do you have problems fitting around your steering wheel? I have a 86 my stock wheel was to big I'm about 5'10'' so id always bang my knees. I put in a smaller one and now my knuckles hit all my switches on the dash.

 

not really and im 5'10 200lbs

 

heres a "little," tease i took on the way home today!

 

Nice I'm going built 1jz in mine

 

got bored today so i decided to mock up the turbo

 

hoping to get moving on this soon!

 

Crazy setup.

 

omgoodness! thats amazing man. how much power do you want that thing to crank out?

 

hopefully 800-1000whp thru the auto on the stock block(spraying it also) if it blows up ill build it lol

 

nice build

 

Very nice build

 

Wow, I never would have thought that the 2JZ would be used on the FC. If I had to choose, I'd probably choose the 2JZ over an LS1 swap now haha!

 

The drive train can hold that much power? Somethings gotta give if its all stock lol

Rotary >Pistons

 

yeah drivetrain is a built th400, and a solid axle ford 8.8. motor will go, but its ok ill build it after it goes, and the whole rotary better the pistons i dont know about that i like driving my cars lol
