Hey man, could you share the specs on that driveshaft?

I also have a tech2 kit, V160, and Cobra rear with a Samberg cradle.

Can you tell me more about your new motor mounts? The tech2 ones are WAY too soft.

 

Just get the toyota supra or sc300 motor mounts tech2 mounts are crap i should throw them at them for selling thajunk and saying they are good for 800hp they not even good for idle

 

A Supra/SC mount will not fit with a tech2 kit. The factory toyota mounts are angled.

 

Thats what im using. But i also modded my subframe. Update i got my exhaust on and i ordered all the pRts to make my a/c lines. Im going to use the rx7 drier and condenser.

 

I just got the tool here is a picture.

 

very nice!

 

So when you swaped to the 8.8 rear, what axles are you using or do you have to go custom?

 

Im going with the driveshaft shop pro kit axles

 

Tito
i was just wondering if by anyany chance u took pics when u modified the subframe. ..
What exactly was done to it..
Motor mounts brackets shorter or? ??

 

Post up some more pics, man.

2JZ FD owners unite.

:P

 

Did you have to install spacers, or a washer stack, on the front ears of the 8.8 housing? I assembled mine to get ready to weld it and the front mounts points were way too low.

 

no spacers. I cut and modified the subframe

 

I'm on the verge of doing the same. I bought a very nice SS 4" exhaust, and the subframe is right in the way. I'd like to build some sort of structure over the subframe front cross bar in order to clear the exhaust.

 

That's a mean ride men. I would love to drop one of them in my b2200. But don't got the money for that kind of project but still real nice.

 

tito you have pm

 

Awesome build. You will have a reliable rx7 with that 2JZ in there and make some great power doing it. A few of my buddies own Supras and those motors are unbelievable. Hard to deny the fact that the 2JZ is arguably the very best Japanese motor ever built.

 

Is there any chance you have some photos or this? I may modify mine to clean my exhaust.

 

Take the Tech2 frame, and cut out the center, and weld in 45° tubes to lower it approximately 2".

 

Haha. That's one way to do it, but I was asking about his Samberg 8.8 Cradle. I have one as well, but it blocks the exhaust path bigtime. I'd say about 2" of my 4" exhaust clear it.

 

The subframe for the cradle i did not have to mod. I just did one cut on my exhaust and that was it i was done but i also have my own built exhause so im not sure you can do that with another exhause it just happen that my exhaust happen to work out and be that easy. I already installed the driveshaft shop. Pro hubs im getting an axle this week. I also have rsx seats in the car now

 

I also got the evo-r 90mm sleek headlights. Goal is to have both axles in car by next month buy all new interior parts fot the car then get it tuned

 

Nice build

 

Wanna build mine lol
