2jz-gte swap into FD
Hey guys very interested in doing a 2jz-swap into an FD. I remember a couple of years ago that SP Engineering did the "Supra Seven" but that required a lot of custom work to get fit. There is a website called 2jzswap.com and they have developed mount kits to fit 2jz-gte in s13, s14 240sx. They also claim they have made a kit to fit the 2jz-gte in the FC and FD. I was wondering if anyone has used their mount kits before and besides the engine and tranny what else is needed to complete this project. If you guys have no idea who i am talking about here is the link.
http://2jzswap.com/index.php My goal is to swap in the 2jz-gte w/getrag 6 speed into the fd without having to cut or swap the subframe. I will be giving 2jzswap.com a call to see what else is needed with their mount kit but if anyone has used it before please chime in here. |
did you ever find out anything?
|
2JZSwaps FD kit is about 3 weeks to a month away from being finished and for sale, from what I heard from the guy who does all of Tech 2's wiring harnesses. and yes 1st post Hi
|
Why would anyone bother with this swap? Is this going to be a drag car?
|
It must be a worthless swap.
lol Just because it's heavier doesn't mean it's the end of the world. Relocating the battery other weight reduction can make it more close to stock. I think it would be a great idea. If you can get the hood to close. From what I've read the cam gears would come through the hood. |
I read that the 2jz-gte is only a 100lbs more heavier than the 13b i swear i read it on a thread in this forum.

S1ignal do you have any idea how the fitment is going to be?

also, from what I've found so far the 2jz-gte weights 490 pounds WITHOUT turbos or manifolds. |
^^Yea thats if i had to modify the subframe and do the install and project the way sp engineering did. However with a mount kit it will be possible to use a normal hood and retain the steering rack. I am still trying to find out from 2jzswap.com exactly how their mount kits work.

I will be picking an FD soon, so i can put in the 2jzgte.
If we can further mind away to get the 3.13 gears on to the FD's rear end along with the V160, then that will be my ultimate swap. |

I've already made that possible and now there are other people developing variations on the Cobra conversion parts. There's even a part number on The Driveshaft Shop's RX-7 page for the 300M hybrid axles. :) |
Iron block is too powerful, but yet, too heavy. Do you want to go in a straight line only? ;)

i call bullshit. there is no way the steering rack can stay in its exact spot without the hood being severely modified.
maybe when they say they keep the rack, they use the stock rack its just moved four inches forward and 3 inches down. https://www.rx7club.com/attachment.p...1&d=1179979198 https://www.rx7club.com/attachment.p...1&d=1179979198 Apparently the car wandered so badly at the far end of the track that they decided it was too dangerous to drive, so it became "display only". :) |
you know they have the same problem with lifted trucks and all you have to do is extend down off the spidle to get the arms back straight......they also do this with mustangs with tublar k members.......i say just mod the pan.....can always make the pan wider in the back were it picks up the oil (like moroso does all the time)...........also has any one seen the cowl hood for the rx7 on juiced(ps2)?....looks like a hood for the c5 vett, i think looks good cause our cars look so much like them any way.......
|
^you have a link for that hood?

I dont think adding 200lbs is going to effect the handling that much to make it just a straight line car.

I don't think you're a qualified chassis tuner, so I guess that makes us even.

To compensate for minor movement of the steering rack. You can't drop the tie rod ends several inches, because A) it's dangerous, and B) it won't clear the wheel.
I'd figure out what's holding down the period key on your keyboard and remove it. |

basic statics shows that WERE the weight is allow plays a huge role. The LS1 is light AND shorter so it really doesnt extend terrible far past the 13b engine. Whereas, the inline 3.0 is uber long and heavy as sin.
