anyone know of a successful swap/s? can it be done/anyone done the swap in here?

lets keep the debate out of this, im just looking for info.

thanks,
Carlos

 

ive seen mark IV swaps..but never a mark III

 

If you are talking about the 7mgte I've never seen it done. If you do it though, make sure to replace the headgasket or you WILL get a BHG.

 

what car are you wanting to see this in?

 

in an FC....

 

Of course it's possible. I don't think I've ever heard of this swap being done, but it doesn't really seem practical. It's a big heavy engine (I think) and underpowered too. This engine is also notorious for head gasket problems and might not be much of an improvement over the rotary. I would recomend either a SR swap or a V8 swap.

 

ive seen it done on this forum i believe aloong time ago i remember seing a few shots of a fc with a 7m motor (thats the one with single turbo in the US right) with the jdm twin turbo model(they where limited edition so dont flame me saying i saw a 2jz) i think they where from idaho

 

does anyone make a kit to swap the 2jz in a 3rd gen?

 

You should see if powerhouse racing can hook you up, you'll probably have to send your car to them though..

 

the 2jz in an rx7 is retarded. its huge, super tall, and really heavy, plus the guys who actually made the Supra 7 can't even drive it because the bump steer is soo bad. an LS1 built up for a turbo could make just as much power if not more than the supra, for a heck of a lot cheaper, plus is hella lighter, and you won't have bump steer issues.

 

The 2jz has been done without bumpsteer problems as for the 7mgte motor they can make power I have a 7m making 710 rwhp. The headgasket problem came from toyota only tourque the headgaskets to 45 pounds, get yourself a metal headgasket and some good arp bolts and you can have a stout 7m motor.

 

KFG enterprises in canada makes a kit to swap the 2j in a 3rd gen they do alot of these swaps as well as v8 and 3 rotor. There drag car has 1200hp but has problems breaking rearend parts so they are experimenting with a 8.8 rear out of a mustang. i have talked with them extensively about this swap and they say they have no bumpsteer issues. I personally choose to go 3 rotor instead but it was a toss up. the swap will cost you around 14000.
