I found this article on this very nice FD, and a very interesting engine swap.

That looks good, no numbers?

93rx74lyfe 09-16-08 11:03 AM

Dude, they have been doing this for a while now.

Islander 09-16-08 11:17 AM

Yeah they have a nice website.

That motor is a newer one i think and shows good results. I thought about this swap in a fd. I have a friend that is making 500hp easy with that motor in his sc300, borg warner turbo..etc

What's up Andrew! Congrats on the write up!

jz
 
the car was at SEMA last year and I had the chance to talk to one of the owners. He was a really down to earth guy and was very informative on all the different kinds of conversions they do(240-1jz.etc). The Rx was beautiful and the conversion looked like it was a factory unit.

What's so interesting about a 2JZ besides it being overrated?

That as you know, they are un-breakable.

Keep up the good work Andrew, very soon i will send you guys my car.

Nice, but it not a true Rx-7 if it does not have the roary engine inside. I mean would a ferrari have the same mystique and value if it had....umm, say a chevy small block?...No.

protunedperformance 09-19-08 09:33 PM

amazing
 
this is probably the ultimate swap, that's why im in the middle of doing one. replacing my blown rotary. get most of the handling of a rx7 and the endless power of a supra. doesnt get much better.

keep up the great work tech 2...
FYI, tech 2 is awesome to work with, great people.

What's overrated about it?

ps. Does anyone know if SP Engineering ever got that massive (veilside?) intake to work?

Supra engine sick..:)

Based on your screen name I would guess you didnt "just find" the article. Ha. Be proud of your car, no need to pretend to be someone who stumbled upon it.

The difference is that a Ferrari is actually worth more in stock form. RX-7s aren't.

No reason to get all bunged up about someone else swapping a more reliable engine into a dime-a-dozen import that most people wouldn't look at twice. It's not like they did it to your car while you weren't looking. I could understand getting upset about something like that... ;)

That car is gorgeous.

blackedoutFC3S 09-22-08 10:30 PM

stylEmon 09-22-08 10:40 PM

But its not YOUR car is it? Its like me telling you that your girlfriend needs to dress prettier or keep herself up better. Not my business, so why should I have a "right" to say it.

kaisar1 09-23-08 01:56 PM

old news isnt it?

fidelity101 09-23-08 10:11 PM

I love how the sticker on the car says 2jzswap.com but they are using a 1jz lol

CUBA6942 01-06-09 05:51 PM
