looks good man, I wish mine would of been that easy.

 

Looking good. This pertains to my interests. Keep up the good work

 

NIce.

Friggin compressor wheel is the same size as your cam gears! Wow!

 

Are you getting the wire harness done by Tech2? I am might be ordering my swap kit next month. I am going with the 1jz engine though.

 

Yep, the harness is sick, they do a perfect job. Just put mine on the other day!

 

Just a little update!

I now have 100% of the parts

intake manifold + t-body is on. Wiring harness is fully on. FMIC and radiator + fan wiring is done. Tuesday my car gets the IC piping fabbed up as well as an alignment!

Then I tackle the dash!

Then she runs

Tune is on june 1st!

 

I hope to see some videos of this beast soon!!!

 

Lets hope so, wiring is finished, just need to do my gauges and whatnot n the wiring end. Dash is in, waiting for 2 more fuel line fittings and then the entire fuel system will be done. Just need the IC piping fabbed up!

 

She runs

 

yeah!!! sound clip please

 

I'll have one for you guys soon!

 

Hi LeeC,

Been checking up on your thread for a while now. Nice build. I received your PM inquiring about my hood. Since you're not the only person asking, I responded in my thread instead:

Hope that helps!

I believe you're referring to me.

If you set the engine back far enough into the firewall, the hood will clear the engine, but not the stock intake manifold. See the link above for more clarification.

In other words, the formula to have a 1JZ / 2JZ engine in your FD RX-7 without lowering the steering rack while retaining the factory hood, is to push the engine into the firewall, and have a custom intake manifold.

thanks howi!

 

Ive been following this swap on 2jz swap.com

This is a sick build especially with the 6speed.
Im doing the 2jz VVT-i build on 2jzswap.com, if your ever on check it out and let me know what you think.

 

Will the factory hood clear?

 

Factory hood will not clear unfortuanetaly, that is the one downfall

 

What kind of hood is used for this swap, then?

 

you can get the carbon fiber hood from tech2. Its a bit pricey. Or get the a Scoot hood, also pricey. Cheapest way is to modify the stock one.

On another note I just got my kit in . Just missing the driveshaft and power subframe supposedly in back order . I will start my build soon.

 

I love 2JZ, they are very reliable, I should have never sold my 94 Supra.

LeeC I would love to see this person.

Good job, more pics please.

 

 

Looks good, can't wait to see it finished.

Have you done something like this before?

let us know if ur gonna go to a meet.

again great job.

 

SO a 2JZ runs on Dunkin as well huh... intresting

Very nice job on the car.

 

You're more than welcome to come check it out tonight if you'd like.

Never done any swap before, my last car was a built sti

Thanks BigIsland!

 

Did you run into any problems with the k member? Mine was a tight fit. I had to enlarge the two guide holes. Also the lower control arms were a pain in the *** to install.
