iTrader: (1)

joey keyman owner of excessive autosports did all the work. no there in no subframe kit that i know of for the 2jz. and no bump steer isnt something ud have to live with. many companys make bump steer kits.

there will be many clips my friend! many!!! along with my friends cars in the clips... 93 cobra twin turbo making 900+WHP, civic making 750+WHP, 2jz mustang making around 600-700WHP
they will be good video clips!

LT1 RX7

Totally awesome. That car is going to be a monster. I wouldn't worry about the haters on the swap. I get that all the time for my v8. But, I've owned plenty of rotaries and sometimes you just want a little reliability.

Very nice, Hows the project going?

If you don't mind sharing the budget ##### that you've spent?
I'm researching on Bridge ports and other posible things like swaps for my need. and welll the 2J just a god to play with...

i havent added up everything in some time now... but if i had to guess?? maybe... 65k with the car??? i will add everything up, parts and labor and get back to you with the exact number.

dsaggy187

well now there is a company that makes a complete kit to mount a 2jz or 1jz in a fd and the kit will be cheap and easily installed

Stage7

Who??? Have they fixed the steering rack/hood fitment issues?

dsaggy187

they have fixed the steering rack problem and u can use a stock hood but i can not release the people until they release the kit. i am one of the first people to be getting the kit when they decide to release it

thats funny... for the right price anyone can buy a "KIT" to do the swap. only thing is, they wont sell many bc the 2jz is sooo damn expensive to mod. thus not many people will be interested in them
i could have my friends who built mine make 10 more... there just isnt a market for them right now. trany and k member would run you around 1500 plus shipping. and thats just for the mounts...
and say you buy that... then you have to buy the engine, trany, wire the whole thing up (not easy), build custom exhaust... etc
we have talked about making them in mass, just no market for it

dsaggy187

well for 1500 i will take one especially if its cromoly. the kit will be more than that and u have to use the r154 tranny. theres includes the k member,driveshaft,motor mounts and tranny mount

What about the balace is it will be good ??
Nice project roachdiddy .. I think it is better than Sp engineering project...
I will post some pics OF my friend rx7 with 2jz from Dubai UAE..
Take care about the steering and the balances for the car ...
nice to see also the speedometer go correctly ....

TK1999

If/When a kit comes out please let us/me know... I love the roary but after a few engines I don't think I can keep up... and I will go nothing less than Japanese domestic ( no ls1 ) even tho I admit its alot less maintances and crap like that ...

My 7 is going to be a car that gets passed down in the family so I want an engine that would last so when my kid grows he can....

Very nice project would give you 5 thumbs up if i had 5 thumbs to spare... I'm hoping everything is working out well for you... I know with all good things takes time but I'm just waiting to see when you finish this... and hope that you wont abort...

haha why a shifter extension?? its not needed!?!
and a $1000 for an auto! damn.
i wouldnt do that swap for 15k, but thats just me

Stage7

RoachDiddy: What would you call a fair price for what's included (labor and parts)? If you don't mind my asking do you have the costs you made for somewhat the equivalent? BTW: it's not a 6spd tranny. It's a r154.

Love your car, I can't wait to see the finished product. Do you have an ET for the driving stage of your build?

Stage7

ttt for progress/response.

Rediculous.... Your car is sick

Stage7

Sweet RoachDiddy! Thanks for sharing and your comments. You will have essentially built my dream car as well. Best of luck w/it next wk and going fwd.

I may have missed this on your build thread, and it's a bit hard to tell w/silver when looking at web pics:

Did you respray your engine compartment before dropping the 2j in, or is that the factory silver finish?
