An LS1 Fbody with a cam can out accelerate said supra and is cheaper, and was cheaper at it's inception.... :D Again, I hate to break it to you, but a turbo'd LS1 Fbody can make more usable power, on pump gas, and still be far more streetable, while coming under the current price point of the MKIV Supra. Really? comparing price points, the Fbody is not only cheaper to mod but can easily make more power at the rear wheels... The suspension and brakes can take advantage of said aftermarket and ability to mount wide rubber.. :D I'll take an '02 C5 with AFR heads and Cam with a FAST intake... it'll be cheaper and a hell of alot faster than said Supra. I don't call that domestic pride, I call that sense... :cool: |
I'm sorry, so you're saying that a stock MKIV runs .98 g on the skidpad?
I want to see that documented. I smell bullshit. edit: On the same note, I agree, the F-Body is a pretty crappy car. Not a fan of the chassis, that's why my LS1 is in an FC. I don't argue the Supra is a good car either. It suffers from the same issues as the FD, that being overpriced for what it is. I agree it even compares quite favorably to a C4 Vette. However lets look at price and place it vs. a C5. Much less favorable for the Supra in that merit. Regardless, this is a forum for swapping engines into RX7s, not Supras, or Vette's or F-Bodies, so everyone just chill the hell out and get back on topic. Damn. |
Here is just one article....

Hmm, those numbers ALL seem high. I wonder if they're using a 300 ft skidpad vs. the standard 200 ft you see in most publications. All of the cars (minus the lotus, did they grease the tires first?) look somewhat high on that list. Especially for stock tires. Throw some R-Comps on there and then maybe. A 68.5 mph slalom with a .98g skidpad doesn't add up.
Are you getting what I'm saying here? I'm not talking down the Supra, those numbers just dont' look right. Then again C&D and MT both do some goofy shit sometimes. |
Hey bassed on that list, I'll take the super lame Posrche 911 Turbo or Lotus Esprit Turbo. Those cars suck! Especially compared with such supercars as the RX7, Supra, and Vette.
HONESTLY!!!! There is more to a car than numbers! Interesting how the RX7 placed poorly in most categorys. It must be a piece of crap. |
GO TO WWW.IMPORTFAN.COM they have silver FD that was done with a 2Jg swap with a T66 turbonetics

hey there just a couple questions with your experience with putting in the 2jz in your fd!
what did u do for monist!? did u have to weld in something new or is there a kit out there by chance? swell did u have to buy the transmission with the 2jz or could the old mazda one be bolted up,same with the drive train and such and how did it all come out? thanks and take care scott |
I want to see what actually happened with this.
|
:lol: 2005
You use the toyota transmission, W58, R54 V160.. etc etc. I don't know what a Monist is. |
i plan on doing one in an fc but cmon ur rotary couldnt have been that boring... should try a 4 rotor next! not to flame but 350whp aint that impressive and try pushing 700+whp out of ur 2jz :-) now thats fun and nonflammable haha
|
So has anybody actually put a 2j in a fc and gave it hell?. I plan on doing the swap but wanna know what all is needed. Also deciding if a 20b swap would be cheaper...
|
Haven't known a person to do a 2jz into an fc yet. I was thinking of building a bolt in x member to do the swap since I still want to build my 13b rew on the side. I work at a custom fabrication shop and most of the guys I work with are into building 2jz motors. I brought it up to them and they are more than happy to help me. Most of all they just wanna see the 2jz in every car they can possibly swap it into. Heck if they had enough time and funds I'm sure they would swap it into an integra. I'm not a big fan of toyota but I do like the way their motors handle. I was thinking of doing a 3sgte into my fc and race cars with a 2.4L and under but my coworkers get 2jz's for $1600 complete so its hard to pass up
